All of the wealth of the nation is

I say worker that includes the "white

all farmers by now know that they

dinary workers. And being paid ti~e

Again. I say: "All the wealth of the
nation is produced by the worker."
But he's the guy that hasn't got any.
The fellow who produces it hasn't got
it. Why not? Because our economic
system, the system ~mder which we do
business, has been made so complicat-

He doesn't understand how it works.
He doesn't understand how and why it

Therefore, the solution of this prob-

understanding. That is the most im-
portant essential in the solution of the
problem. That is the thing that must

subject, And books.
We, therefore, recommend that every
local start a library, a circulating li-

The Board of Directors of the Farm-
ers Union Livestock Commission,
South St. Paul, at their last board
meeting, appropriated a small sum of
money to buy some books, and start
a circulating library here at South St.

book that our members or p~trons
want on economics, history, geography
or political economy; send it to you
for a thirty day period, in which you
can read it, and then return it to this

Recently I read a book-L-Co-opera-
tive Democracy, by James Peter War-
basse--which I recommend to all my
friends. I have been in the Farmers
Union work nearly nine years, ann
studied this question much longer.
Thought I knew something about it.
But even I, learned a lot from this
book. The things that can be accomp-
lished through establishment of the
co*operative commonwealth as out-
lined in this book in the way of rais-
ing the general standard of living far

On the platform and in my writings
I have gone further in advocating the
complete co-operative commonwealth
as the only means through which ex-
ploitation of the worker could be abol-

a radical and a lot of other things.
Sometimes even a socialist. And
sometimes, I thought they were right.
But after reading Co-operative De.
mocracy by James Peter Warbasse I
feel sure the co-operative common-
wealth established through economic
organization would be quite an im-
provement over the same thing
brought about as a result of political
action.
However, if you want to be fair to
the other side, and read a book de-
scribing what you might expect of the
co-operative commonwealth as a re-
sult of political action I suggest The
Struggle for Existence by Walter
Thomas Mills. After you have read
these books, write us, and we will

! . Each Fund Raising Division Working I
By A. W. Ricker
The Farmers Union Herald for February, in the mails February 11th, will
give the up-to-date and detailed information about the progress of the cam-
paign to raise the $10,090 sustaining fund for the work of our Washington
legislative committee.
Up to and including February 4th, the local cooperative Farmers Union
bulk oil stations and elevators had subscribed a total of $3,860.00. The goal
set for the elevators and oil stations is $5,000. Many of them have not yet
reported the amount of their subscriptions, but have advised that they will
do so when boards of directors meet.
From business men of rural towns a total of $290.80 had been receive&
From locals, county organizations and school-house penny collections, the
contributions totaled $405.95. The Herald report will show larger amounts
because the Herald will report totals up to February 7th. We hope the grand
total by that time will reach $5,000 which is the half way mark in the $10,000
goal we are seeking.
Speed up the canvass of rural towns and the penny collections in the
school-houses. We will not cease our efforts until the ten thousand dollar
goal is reached, and we hope each division will exceed its quota. We should
be able to wind up the campaign with a surplus, because the war to get justice
for agriculture will never be won in a single battle. It is a continuous struggle,
and a long hard fight.

CLARK URGES $I00,000
APPROPRIATION FOR PEACE
Senator Clark the other day deliv-
ered himself in the Senate of a blast-
ing condemnation of war and the war
makers. Speaking as a member of the
Senate Committee investigating the
munitions industry, the Missouri Sen-
ator told his colleagues that "the pow-
der magazine has been prepared for
war," and urged that the request for
$100,000 be speedily granted by the
Senate for continuing the inquiry.
This money is needed, he said, to
"find out exactly the extent to which
greed for private profit contributes to
the possibility of the United States be-
ing engaged in war."
The effervescent Mr. Clark roundly
spanked the Congress of which he,is a
member. "Loudly proclaiming our de-
votion to the cause of disarmament,"
he said, "we in the last Congress
aroused suspicion throughout the
world and probably caused the start
of another disastrous naval-building
race by authorizing more than $1,O00,-
000,000 for additional warships."
It is said that citizens who want the
facts known concerning the war---en-
couraging activities of munition mak-
ers, are flooding the committee and
their own Senators with letters urg-
ing that the $100,000 asked by the
committee be granted, as the "only
known appropriation by the Govern-
ment in the interest of peace."~From
National Council for Prevention or
War, 532 Seventeenth Street, N. W.,
Washington, D. C.
CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING
Co-operation for farm marketing be-
gins at the farm. The farmer, as the
first owner of the grain, has the first
control of it. His money, time and
labor are invested in the growing and
the harvesting of his product. His next
concern is to market it to the best
advantage. Two roads lead to the ter-
minal and world markets. In one the
producer has no interest, and it has no
interest in him. This is the road of
the private grain handler. The other
is the highway of co-eperation. It is
apparent that the handler of the grain
after it has left the farm has profited
more than the man who produced it.
All the opportunities for profit that Iie
in the merchand~-.-sterage, mixing,
cleaning, bargaining ~have been his.
Co-operative marketing transfers these
opportunities to the producer. Through
co-operation he may own and control
the marketing machinery and the
profits thereof; he may build bargain-
ing power equal to that of those who
buy his product; he may put himself
in position to seek the best market,
and by the very vastne~ of his busi-
ness and his control of it, he may
wield in that market a price influence
from which he directly and definitely
beneiits.~Natiorml Grain Corporation.

Should Co-op Oil
Associations Change
Their Sales Policies?
By WALTER JACOBSON
A business policy in the co-opera-
tive oil associations that should be
clarified and beV~er understood is that
of service station business.
We have in the past noted a ten-
dency on the part of a great many co-
operative oil associations to have pri-
vate individuals or partnerships handle
the products retailed through service
stations instead of the co-operatives
themselves handling the products
through their own service station fa-
cilities.
There are soveral very important
reasons why the co-operative organi-
zations should retail their own prod-
ucts through their own facilities. A
few of those reasons are outlined in
the following:
At the present time little if any
money is made on the sales to service
stations and pumps not owned by the
co-operative oil association, and the
situation is not expected to improve in
this regard in the near future. The
reason for this is that a 3½ cent dis-
count must be given on regular gaso-
line to resellers. A commission of 1
to 1½ cents is usually allowed the.
manager for deliveries to reseliers.
Thus the co-operative oil assocm-
tions have little if any income on such
sales, when shrinkages and overhead
expenses are taken into consideration,
due to the fact that the margin be-
tween the cost price and the service
station price at the best during the
past few months has been, and at
present is, only 5½ cents per gallon
on regular gasoline.
No Reim.tes Possible on Such Sales
Accordingly, no patronage rebates
can be paid on sales through service
stations, and if patronage rebates are
paid it is usually done at the expense
of the patrons of direct deliveries
made to their farms and on which the
co-operative oil association has a
good margin of income.
Our suggestion is that the co-opera-
tive oil associations recall their prod-
ucts through their own service station
facilities. Where there is a sufficient
volume of business, sales through com-
pany-operated service stations should
show a net income enjoyed by deliv-
eries to farmers.- Thus the same rate
of patronage rebates could be paid to
the patrons of service stations as to
the patrons who have deliveries made
to their farms. On the other hand,
the co-operatives would have better
facilities for selling other products
such as tires, tubes and batteries when
they own their own service station
facilities, and the income on the s~irne
would help defray the expenses of
operating the service station.
More in Accord with Ideals
We believe such an arrangement is
more in harmony with co-operative
ideals and principles as the co-opera-
tives will have control of the retail
business and the patrons will be deal-
ing directly with the co-operative aa-
sociations.
During the past few months we have
made a number of audits of co-opera-
tive oil associations where the net in-
come is alarmingly small or is greatly
reduced from former years. This con-
dition usually can be 'directly traced
to the fact that no income has been
made on sales to re~llers and. in some
cases, losses even have been incurred
on such sales.
Furthermore the trend of sales seems
to be that a larger percentage of the
business is being done through service
stations than was the case in former
years. Therefore it is of great import-
ance that due consideration be given
this matter and that it is thoroughly
discussed by the directors and man-
agements of the oil associations.
We believe that one of the most im-
portant purposes of co-operative or-
ganizations is to handle their commo-
dities with as little handling expeme
as possible. This purpose is defeated
at the present time when private in-
dividuals handle the products retailed
through service stations.--In Co-oper-
ative Builder.

Directed by Mrs. G. H. Edwards.
While we are thinking about the

things the winning Juniors will see
and visit. During Mrs. Edwards' ab-
sence from the state I am copying
parts from her '~Log of the Trip to
Washington" that she took last year.~
Elsie Eagle.
January 31 ~We took a drive this
afternoon, to see a few of the sights
of the city from the car and to get a
little acquaintance with the city.
We went first across the bridge and
around the Shoreham Hotel grounds,
then around the Zoological park
grounds and under the Taft Bridge,
up through the residence district and
past the Cathedral. Then back to
Connecticut Avenue, and straight
down it to 17th Street and to the Tidal
Basin. The way is direct, and takes
us past the Washington Monument an~
the Reflector Pool with the Lincoln
Memorial across the pool from us. We
drove around the Tidal Basin from
which we could see the White House.
I didn't suppose it was so far down
town, but it is right in the midst of
the Government buildings.
The Washington Monument stands
in a park by itself. It is very beauti-
ful. A sight that I shall never forget,
its snow white shaft standing in sim-
)le grandeur against the blue sky, and
reflected in the length of the pool
which lies between it and the Lincoln
Memorial on the other side of the
water. The Lincoln Memorial is a
beautiful monument, a low building
of white marble with pillars and a
fine sweep of steps which make it a
lovely thing. When we are at the side
of the pool near to the Washington
Monument, we look across it to the
Lincoln Building and look across at
the Monument and its reflection in the
mirror of the pool
Just back of the Lincoln Memorial
is the Arlington Memorial Bridge. It
is of white stone and marble, also,
and it stretches across the mighty Po-
tomac River which ha~ played such an
important part in the history of our
country. Stanley (my nephew) was
thrilled to see the central part of the
bridge raised to allow a steamboat to
pass under it.
We came back into the city as the
sun was getting into the west and
crossed over onto Pennsylvania Ave-
nue, the street that is well known to
many Americans, especially since we
have radio. At one end of this avenue
is the capitol of the United States.
Monday, February 5 -- We took a
taxi to the Lincoln Museum. It is in
the old Ford theater .... The whole
lower floor is given over to glass cases
full of articles which pertain to Lin-
coln's life end death. We saw sale
bills for slaves, yellow with age. Also
bills offering rewards for runaway
slaves, describing them as we should
a dog. Som~ of the rewards were
large, reaching as much as $250.
We saw a fac-simile of the Emanci-
pation Proclamation, with the signa-
ture of all those who signed it. It is
framed and carefully preserved. One
case is given over to coins and medals
and to paper money. There were the
famous "greenbacks" in 3, 5, 10, 15 and
25 cent denominations, and New Jer-
sey bills for one, two and three dol-
lars. They are large bills, and a roll
of them would make a sizeabl@ packet.
In another showcase is the shawl
worn by Lincoln,. a gray and homely
woomn garment. A satin vest of fancy
design is also shown. It is the prop-
erty of the Westhy family. It was sent
to a Mrs. Westby by the president,
when he heard that she had wept on
being told that her new-born child
resembled President Lincoln. With
the vest Lincoln sent a note saying
to her that she should let the child
wear it, and remember that it had
been worn by a president of the Dni-
ted States. It is highly treasured by
the family who loan it to the museum.
We saw the large old walnut cradle
in which the Lincoln babies were
rocked. Other pieces of furniture from
the old log cabin, plain and sturdy
pieces and very old and shabby. He
was certainly a man of the people.
There are pieces of this cabin and
many pictures of it and of Lincoln's
family.
A large part of the museum is given
over to mementoes of his assassina-
tion ....
We go on to see a great bill offering
$100,000 reward for the capture of the
assassins. This bill is much different
in printing than the kind of bills we
are used to seeing now. It reads:
WAR DEPARTMENT AT WASHING- TON, D. C., APRIL 20, 1965.
$100,000 Rewards
THE MURDERER
of our late beloved president, Abra-
ham Lincoln, is still at large. $30,000
will he paid by this Department, in
addition to any municipal reward o~-
fered, for the capture of Booth, $25,000
for the capture of Harold and $25,000
for the capture of Surrat.
All persons harboring or withholding
knowledge of the whereabouts of any
of these three shall be subject to trial
by military court and sentence of
death.

One very interesting part of the ex.
hibit was the case which contained
dozens of cartoons from the papers of
Lincoln's day. Those from the London
%~unch" were bitter and satiric to the
last degree. Lincoln wes sneered at
and caricatured cruell.v in every one.
But "Punch" came to its knees
somely when he died ....
We left the Museum and walked
rectly across the street to the house
which the martyred president
It is an old house, more than
years of age, and its fire hazard is
great that it has to carry very

We went directly into the room
which Lincoln was carried. It

as it did on that night, with very
exceptions. The old worn floor is
covered by a huge crocheted rag
