FARMERS' FORUM Open Ior DiKurta of Topics of Special tcrat. THE FARM FOR THE FARMER By A. W. BAIRD The fruits of Emmet county for Emmet county people. In writing the above, I mean what is Mid and say what I mean in just as plain English as it is possible to say it.

When the day cornea that the hold of predatory wealth upon Emmet county land it entirely destroyed, then and not until then will Emmet county peo. pie be free cn the farm and in town to enjoy the fruits of their labor! That day is coming in spite of all (the frantic efforts of the New Deal to prevent it. Indeed, the frantic and childish efforts of the New Deal may has. ten the day. If it dies, it will deaerve at the hands of our future historians, not the bkekest page rn our history.

VINDICATOR AND REPUBLICAN, B8THERVILLE, IOWA, THURSDAY. DECEMBER 20, 1934 Oflnterest To Our Neighbors WIST nam The Christmas spirit I How it fills the air. It is the lorve that is reflected from face to face and expresses itself in words of cheer and deeds of kindness. Let us have at least as much Christmas spirit as was expressed by the man whose baby swallowed a dime and said, "It is go near Christmas, let's let her keep it." Christmas festivities in this district were begun last Friday evening when the members of the Sticktuit club and their families gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Andrew Klein to participate in a Christmas party.

The house was suitably decorated with holiday colors. The neighborhood was well represented as all ex. cept two families were present. Games were enjoyed by the com. pany, followed by a gift exchange from the Christmas tree.

A deli, cious two. course supper was serv. ed at a late hour. Miss Alice Martens and her pu. pils present a Christmas program on Friday afternoon to which Geo.

Mr. and Mrs. Herb Wolf and daughter Dorothy were Esther, ville visitors Friday. V-l Europeans have accused us of and patrons of the school being a nation of strong believers and weak thinkers. Th writer for one pleads guilty to the charge but looking through the pages of European history it seems to me that they have no cause to throw bricks at us.

The land it occupies is the common inheri. tance of all the people of all nations. When land becomes mo -j nopolized by a few and food and shelter prices are forced too disaster soon comes. Read the history of Rome, read the histc -Ty of England. Under the Com Laws, to satisfy the land holders, the economic life was being crush, ed out of England.

It was saved from complete disaster by the courage and loyalty of one man, the Duke of Wellington. When our iest frontier was gone in 1898, the destruction of our liberties began and has continued with unabated fury. During the public' career of Theodore Roosevelt, he was openly fighting predatory wealth. Few people understood what he meant but most people thought he meant well even if they.did not understand Here in Emmet county predatory wealth meant by stealth, forcing the price of farm land up from $10 per acre to $300 per acre that $290 per acre was taken from the farmer and he was given nothing in return for it. Now I know that the holders of predatory wealth say it was not done steal, thiry, ft wajs done openly, the farmers knew what they were doing.

There is nothing to sup. port their contention. The land grant colleges were all urging them on by telling them that land here in Iowa was worth $500 per acre. Here is where our strong belief and weak thinking came in full force. A few thinking men did not accept the teachings of the land grant and escaped disaster but many did believe them and suffered for their belief.

Farmers, merchants, bankers, labor, all went down in near universal ruin. By 1932 predatory wealth was tumbling and it seized upon two- nameg with which to check its fall. They were well chosen, Roosevelt and Wallace. They were commissioned and set to work. Their work was un.

finished. Out of it. have a growing- jtiterest bearing public debt, greater taxation, a growing population, end a decreased food supply. A reduced acreage has cost this farm more than $300 exclusive of what benefits we are promised. Every thinking man should re.

aliie by this time that the New Deal has been fully as disastrous to us the drought yet we un. thinkingly voted to continue it. The New Deal encourages men to believe that we can drink our. selves sober and borrow ourselves out of debt. Both have been done but there is nothing to indicate that those who have done it have been aatisfied.

Strong believers look forward to the coming ses. sion of congress cheerfully. ThinkerB are anxious but deter, mined to make the best of it. a invited. A 'Christmas tree will be the usual feature of attrac.
