>z2L FARMERS PLAN WAR. Kansas City Star. Washington. The American farmer is going to fight his battles, covering what he considers his economic and legal rights, in the chambers and lobbies of congress. He is going to *? ?J 11 U. Dattie opemy, using all ma puiiuvai and financial powers, and his opponents will either surrender or be annihilated. There will be no compromise. It will be a finish fight. In a statement prepared by the national board of farm organizations a clear declaration of war is uttered. The statement speaks for itself and is as follows: "Men in public life have been warned that the national board of farm organizations has decided to become a fighting force. This notice was served on them at the final session of the congress yesterday. No , L- ' VMAWAITT on adn. longer sawsueu tu uc mcicij v? cational organization, imparting information to its members on matters affecting their interests, the board is going into politics. "It will not go into party politics, but, like the Anti-Saloon league, will operate through all parties. It will be bipartisan, interpartisan or nonpartisan. "Having won its fight for the repeal of the daylight saving bill, the national board of farm organizations, . through the 20 or more organizations united with it, is going to make the intensive drive for the right of collective bargaining. Every representtative and every senator will be tabbed, card indexed and canvassed. "All will be told that the farmers, irrespective of party inclinations and affiliations, will expect them to vote right on matters affecting agriculture." r Milo D. Campbell, chairman of the board, said, the organization would be careful to demand nothing but what is right. But once satisfied that a demand has real merit and is "imbedded in the bowels of justice," they will insist that the representative or senator vote to grant it. Mr. Campbell said the farmers had very few demands to make, but these are fundamental and affect the interests ^g/zrajzjznLmaji!niraniJB 1 AHbL J { I [i Prices-I l\ SEATS ON , I LfEfififififiUHiKfaiR j!

"Uncle Reuben is awake," said Mr e Campbell, 'and those who have been - i J U t blaming him for the high cost 01 living are largely responsible for his being aroused out of a comparatively somnambulistic state. We are not going before the country with a club or with threats. We are simply going to submit a program and demand that those who serve us in congress adopt it. If they do not, we are not going to carry a red flag, distribute dynamite or talk about revolution. All we will do is to fire our representative?that is, if we are strong enough to do so. "If we can't get votes enough tc fire him, we will go ahead with our program of education until we can ? get enough voters to agree with us to assure his retirement to private life. We are now a ngnung orgamza- ^ tion, but we are going to fight in the ^ constitutional, fair, red blooded Am * erican way. I believe we can get ^ whatever we demand, provided what we demand is right, if we meet the * issue squarely with a united rural ? population behind us. "Forty per cent, of the people of? the United States are engaged in agriculture. They are patriotic and sincere, and will certainly win in any * righteous contest if they are united." t c CHAIRMAN SHEALY WARNS t SOUTHERN RAILROAD s 1 Columbia, Sept. 25.?Frank W. t Shealy, chairman of the State Rail- t yvso/1 P.Ammioamn it* q loffov fn TT T.

As stated in >ur request, it is the commission's inderstanding that this over-head >ridge would eliminate at least foux rery dangerous crossings?probably ive.

"We cannot be contented with the ixcuse that the railway company has io funds with which to carry on this ?ork.

"Your recent letters along this line lave not been at all satisfactory to he commission, and if you are not in obition to handle this matter amica ly please be kind enough to so state, ind the commission will undertake to ind someone who can do so. Unless rou can give us something definite, rou will be requested to appear in jerson before this coimnissiou on lext Wednesday.
