A REVIEW
Do you remember when you uses
to go to school? The teacher would
make you review every lesson over
and over again. Out of these reviews
you were always able to obtain a bet-
ter understanding of the lessons
which you had previously "skipped
over." Well, we believe that all or
the previous stories which have a~-
peared in this page (14of them)should
be reviewed br!efl~v.
If you haven t ~Iready cut out the
previous stories from this page, you
should do so now, and paste them in
a "scrap book." You will find them
interesting reading at most any time.
It would also be well to read
these
articles at each meeting of your lo-
cals. Facts should always be accept-
able and intere~Lug, especially on an
~t subject like this. Get every
story now and ~e them.

,Juniors' Own Column
NEW YEAR
By Bruce Catton
Why greet the New Year if it is to be
A copy of the years that went before--
A tale of wrongs unrighted, golden ore
Unmined, and songs unsung, of victory
That infirm hands let slip, of chil-
dren's tears.
That no one tried to dry. How dare
we write
Another page, unless it set alight
A beacon for the marchers down the
years?
Now, by our vision of a brighter day,
Our hope of dawn in everlasting night,
Let this year see us farther on the
way
That winds through darkness to the
sun-crowned height
Where gleams a shining city. Ah, be
beld~
And make the New Year better than
the old.
--From the Jamestown Sun.
A CALL TO THE PENNY LEGION
"Penny Legionnaires" are the Jun-
iors and Juveniles who pay their
father's dues the "penny-a-day" way.
Their names go on an Honor Roll
when the dues are turned in. But
now we are making another call to
the Penny Legion. With the neces-
sity of financing the committee of
ten on their mission to Washington
during the coming session of Con-
gress, we find another new and im-
portant task for you boys and girls.
Here is the story of the Commit-
tee of Ten: At the convention of the
stockholders and patrons of the
Farmers Union business activities in
St. Paul last month, tt was voted to
send ten representatives chosen from
among the members of the Union and
patrons of the activities and their of-
ficlais, to Washington for the new
session of Congress. Their object is
to secure the kind of legislation the
farmer wants and not what the rest
of society thinks he ought to have.
But it takes money to keep ten men
in the city of Washington; the busi-
ness activities and tl~ state organiza-
tions are not an~..:better off than
their 80,000 farmer stockholders, pa-
trons and members. A penny from
every one of these stockholders and
however, would easily amount
a sufficient sum to finance the ex-
penses of the committee.
In your state paper and the Janu-
ary issue of the Farmers Union Her-
aid goes out a call to the membership
to send in this fund to the Herald.
We, in North Dakota, think of the
Juniors and Juveniles as members,
too. On the whole, they are quick-
er to respond to a drive like this than
older people are inclined to be It is
to the Juniors and Juveniles and their
leaders that we turn, asking that they
make the collection of these pennies,
nickles and dimes their especial re.
sponslbllity, and that they see that the
goes to the.Far~ners Union Her.
aid, Minnesota Building, St. Paul,
Minn.
The fact that the fund is being raised
vicious method of taxation that has
ever been devised for it takes as heavy
toll from the people w~m are unable
to pay as it does from the rich who
should carry the heaviest burden of
government. Wars have been fought
over sales taxes ever since history be-
gan. It is only in times of dire need
that a sales tax is levied because at
other times taxes are paid upon other
bases. It is well for every Junior of
the Farmers Union to take these things
into consideration. Remember the
words of Shakespeare and remember
that they are particularly true of tax-
ation.~
"You take my house when you do
take the prop
That doth sustain my house; you
take my life
When you do take the means whereby
I live."
LEGISLATURE CONVENES
I hope that most of you are going
to have a chance to attend a session
of the legislature before you are many
years older, if you cannot attend this
session. This will be a very interest-
ing time to attend though, because the
sessions are being held for the first
time in the new capitol building, The
legislative halls are very beautiful.
Especially is the Senate Chamber
worthy of mention. In point of actual
beauty, it surpasses the Senate Cham-
ber of the national congress. Of
course, the historic interest of the
Chamber in Washington is great. But
the new state house in Bismarck is one
of which every North Dakotan has rea-
son to be very prou~ and the legisla-
tive halls provide a setting ~rom which
wise and sane legislation should sure-
ly emanite.
NATIONAL COOPERATION
I have just finished reading one of
the Union Farmers from a sister state
in the Farmers Union. In it were two
articles written by Junior members,
upon their trips t~ the National Con-
vention at Sioux Falls. Neither of
these Juniors was a contestant, and
neither took any part in the Junior
program. But I was much disappoint-
ed in the reports given by them.
Neither mentioned anything about the
work being done by other Juniors or
other states. Much praise was given
to the home state much of it of a
derogatory nature to other states. The
contests were not mentioned, excepting
as they touched t~m state.
I hope that this spirit will not be
shown in North Dakota at any time.
Each of the states in the National
Farmers Union is very largely depend-
ent upon other states for success in
the cooperative work. If our own
state were organized one hundred per
cent, we should still be helpless to in-
fluence Congress to any great extent,
because we should not represent
enough of the people.
It is just as short-sighted and foolish
to feel above other states in the Union !
and to keep ooa~lng of our owni
prowess, as it is to do the.~wne thingI
with regard to ones own family. It
