The public is vitally Interested and
public Is never considered Iwhen a

lic is vitally interested in the welfare
of the farmer. We believe in farm
organization as a means of working
out the troubles with which a tann
er comes in contact, but we hope that
no farm organization will ever be
made that iwill call for a strike. In
the problems of re-adjustment of
which we are facing a great many,
o believe that the farmer will do
liis full part, and that he should as
sume his full responsibility in assist
ing in the working out of these prob
lems. To do this, organization is ab
solutely necessary. The labor diffi
lulties which lire besetting the coun
try at the present time affects far-
1 1 in t a day's work at the present time
does not mean more than one-half a
days work six years ago. We believe
that this is true, and yet wages are
comparatively more than twice as
high, if tlii is a statement of fact
it 'will show that the cost of produc
tion of the farmers today is at least
four times as great as it was six years
ago. It is a fact that is recognized
by every employer that the raising
of wages under present conditions
does no good. The more wages, ap
parently the less work. The solution
of the present high cost of living, and
the present labor unrest, is more
production for each hour of lubor
peforrned. There are a good many
men at work, enough men at work
to produce all that the country re
quires, if they did really Iwork, but
we are facing a condition in which
production is not keeping up wills
consumption the w-orld over. Many
of the forces of production, in the
last two years, have been expended
along lines that do not give inime
diate results in life's necessities.
That is the reason that prices are
mounting day by day, at least It is
more nearly the reason than any
proposition so far advanced. Let

It verifies the claim made that voting for the 4 state road bond limitation
will not involve any tax on property, as principal and interest will be paid
from the auto license fees and the gas tax, leaving an actual surplus above
the amount required.
