A CALL UPON THE LAW MAKERS
TO PREVENT U8ELE33 TAX
UPON AGRICULTURE.
By Peter Radford
Lecturer National Fanners' Union
The farmer Is the paymaster of
industry and as such he must meet
the nation's payroll. When Industry
pays its bill it must make a sight
draft upon agriculture for the amount,
which the farmer Is compelled to
honor without protest This check
drawn upon agriculture may travel to
and fro over the highways of commerce;
may build cities; girdle the
globe with bands of steel; may search
hidden treasures in the earth or
traverse the skies, but in the end it
will rest upon the soil. No dollar
will remain suspended in midair; it is
as certain to seek the earth's surface
as an apple that falls from a tree.
When a farmer buys a plow he pays
the man who mined the metal, the
woodman who felled the tree, the
manufacturer who assembled the raw
material and shaped it into an article
of usefulness, the railroad that
transported It and the dealer who
sold him the goods. He pays the
wages of labor and capital employed
in the transaction as well as pays
for the tools, machinery, buildings,
etc., used in the construction of the
commodity and the same applies to
all articles of use and diet of himself
and those engaged in the subsidiary
lines of industry .
There is no payroll in civilization
tha* does not rest upon the back
of the farmer. He must pay the bills
?all of them.
The tothl value of the nation's
annual agricultural pfoducts is around
$12,000,000,000. and it is safe to estimate
that 95 cents on every dollar
goes to meeting the expenses of subsidiary
industries. The farmer does
?mAVA f Vi o n mfniitoQ
IIUU wuift U1VIC uiau lUll vj iuiu v* vvu
per day for himself; the remaining
thirteen hours of the day's toil he
devotes to meeting the payroll of the
hired hands of agriculture, such as
the manufacturer, railroad, commercial
and other servants.
The Farmer's Payroll and How He
Meets It
The annual payroll of agriculture
approximates $12,000,000,000. A portion
of the amount is shifted to foreign
countries in exports, but the
total payroll of industries working for
the farmer divides substantially as
follows: Railroads, $1,252,000,000;
manufacturers, $4,365,000,000; mining,
$655,000,000; banks, $200,000,000;
mercantile $3,500,000,000, and a heavy
miscellaneous payroll constitutes the
remainder.
It takes the corn crop, the most
valuable in agriculture, which sold
last year for $1,692,000,000, to pay off
the employes of the railroads; the
money derived from our annua, sales
of livestock -of approximately $2,000,000,000,
the yearly cotton crop, valued
at $920,000,000; the wheat crop,
which is worth $610,000,000, and the
oat crop, that is worth $440,000,i?f)0.
are required to meet the annual payroll
of the manufacturers. The
money derived from the remaining
staple crops is used in meeting the
payroll of the bankers, merchants,
etc. After these obligations are paid,
the farmer has only a few bunches of
vegetables, some fruit and poultry
which he can sell and call the proceeds
his own.
When the farmer pays off his help
he has very little left and to meet
these tremendous payrolls he has
been forced to mortgage homes, work
women in the field and increase the
hours of his labor. . We are, there

dustries dependent upon the farmers
for subsistence to retrench in their
expenditures and to cut off all unnecessary
expenses This course is
absolutely necessary in order to avoid
a reduction in wages, and we want,
if possible, to retain the present wage

employes.
We will devote this article to a
discussion of unnecessary expenses
and whether required by law or permitted
by the managements of the
concerns, is wholly immaterial We

: the prosperity of the farm.
When honesty is merely a good
policy it is a poor virtue.
Lazy farmers are just as useless as;
dead ones and take up more room.
When the soul communes with the
spirit of nature the back to the farm
movement prevails.
There are two kinds of farmers.,
One tries to take all the advice he
hears and the other won't take any ,

Proper Treatment tor Biliousness.
For a long time Miss Lula Skelton,
Churchville, N Y, was bilious and
had sick headache and dizzy spells.

Obtainable everywhere.
'" - ? ?
While the war is on and there is a
lull in business, we want all legislative
bodies to take an inventory of
the statute books and wipe off all
extravagant and useless laws. A good
house-cleaning is needed and economies
can be instituted here and there .
that will patch the clothes of indigent
children, rest tired mothers and lift
mortgages from despondent homes.
Unnecessary workmen taken o!T and \
useless expenses chopped down all
along the line will add to the prosperity
of the farmer and encourage
him in his mighty effort to feed and
clothe the world.
If any of these industries have surplus
employes we can use them on
the farm. We have no regular
schedule of wages, but we pay good
farm hands on an average of fl.50
per day of thirteen hours when they,
board themselves; work usually runs
about nine months of the ypar and the
three months dead time, they can do' the
chores for their board. It theyi
prefer to farm on their own account,
there are more than 14,000,<Kfo,000
acres of idle land on the earth's surface
awaiting the magic touch of the
plow. The compensation is easily oh-;
tainable from Federal Agricultural
Department statistics. Tho total
average annual sales of a farm in,
the continental United States amounts
to $516.00; the cost of operation is
$340.00; leaving the farmer $176 per
annum to live on and educate his>
family.
There is no occasion for the legis
similar legislation which requires unnecessary
expenditures.
The same rule applies to all regulatory
measures which increase the
expenses of industry without giving
corresponding benefits to the public.
There is ofttimes a body of men assembled
at legislatures?and they
have a right to be there?who, in
their zeal for rendering their fellowassociates
a service, sometimes favor
an increase in the expenses of in
dustry witnout due regara lor tne mea
who bow their backs to the summer's
sun to meet the payroll, but these
committees, while making a record
for themselves, rub the skin of the
shoulders of the farmer by urging the
legislature to lay another burden
upon his heavy load and under the
lash of "be it enacted" goad him on
to pull and surge at the traces of civiV
ization, no matter how he may sweat,
foam and gall at the task. When
legislatures "cut a melon" for labor
they hand the'farmer a lemon.
The farmers pf the United t 'ates.
are not financially able to c?rrj lead
heads" on their payrolls. Our own
hired hands are not paid unless we
have something for them to do and
we are not willing to carry the hired
help of dependent industries. unless
there is work for them. We must
therefore insist upon the most rigid
economy.
Legislative House-Cleaning Needed.
Union Opposes "Foil Crew" BUI.
The Texas Farmers' Union registered
its opposition to this character
of legislation at the last annual meeting
held in Fort Worth, Tex., August
4, 1914, by resolution, which we quote,
as follows;
"The matter of prime importance
to the farmers of this state is an adequate
and efficient marketing system;
and we recognize that such a system
is impossible without adequate railroad
facilities, embracing the greatest
amount of service at the least possible
cost We further recognize that
the farmers and producers In the end,
pay approximately 95 per cent of the
expenses of operating the railroads,,
and it is therefore to the interest of
the producers that the expenses of
the common carriers be as small sals
possible, consistent with good service
and safety. We, therefore, call
upon our law-makers, courts and
juries to bear the foregoing facts in
mind when dealing with the common
carriers of this state, and we do especially
reaffirm the declarations of
the last annual convention of our*
State Union, opposing the passage of
the so-called 'full-crew' bill before
the thirty-third legislature of Texas.'*'
The farmers of Missouri in the last1
election, by an overwhelming majority,
swept this laun, off the statute
book of that state, 'and it should
come off of all statute books where
it appears and no legislature of this
nation should nass such a law or
