“BACK TO
THE FARM”
XVII.—The Farmer and the
Government.

THE farmer's influence always
has been aud always will be
ou the side of good govern
meat. He has nothing to gain
by corrupting legislatures or bribing
lawmakers. He stands for honest, ef
ficient government. This is not saying
that farmery as a class are honest and
all other people dishonest. The farm

er Is in favor of clean government, be
cause that is the kind of government
w’hieh serves his interests.
There are few complications In ttn
country to influence the farmer’s vote
In the city the question of employ
ment. of special favors, of social ree
ognitiou. often swings votes wher.
they would not otherwise go. A multi
tude of Influences surround the voter
and It is little wonder that electioi
day often finds his conscience o!
guard. * City life, too. tends to develo;
n cynical attitude in a man. He know
that an Imported thug from a neigh
boring city is likely to kill his vote i
he does stand up for what he believe?
to l>e right. The machine has beei
giving the city a fair sort of govern
ment. nnd he is 100 often content ti
let good enough alone.
With the fanner it is different. Hi
has more confidence In the power o!
his vote. He sees the Issues unob
scured by petty outside considerations
He has time to think and read. Hi
takes an active interest in politics, and
this interest does not end with election
day. He watches the successful can
didates to be sure that they fultili
their promises.
As yet the farmer has hardly real
lzed his power as a politician. There
has been a wide variation of views on
details, even though all stood firm sot
principles. There has been little at
tempt at organization.
In Denmark the farmers appreciate
the advantage of their position much
more than they do in this country.
In many ways Denmark is an interest
ing country and in no way more so
than in its system of politics. Co-op
eration has developed the independ
ence of the Danish farmer. It has
given him a sense of responsibility and
power. When he saw how quickly
the business of the country came un
der the control of his organized
strength it was but natural that he
should try his hand In politics. He
was as successful here as in business,
and today Denmark is governed by
farmers. Every one in Denmark rec
ognizes the Influence of the farmer,
and the name is a symbol of respect.
The policy that has been advocated
so long In this country, that the pros
perity of the manufacturers is the
chief Index of the prosperity of the
nation, has been reversed in Den
mark. There, while acknowledging the
importance of manufacture, the pros
perity of the farmer is recognized as
the true basis of prosperity.
The problem of land ownership that
has been solved In Germany by co
operation has been met in Denmark
by the government. A farmer who
wants a farm of his own can have it
purchased for him by the government
He has from forty to fifty.years in
which to pay for It, so that the an
nual payments amount to little more
than the cost of rent. As a result of
this system more than 80 per cent ot
tho farmers of Denmnrk own the land
which they cultivate. This is one of
the factors that give to the Danish
farmer a sturdiness nnd independence
which make him famous the world
over.
Nowhere have the evils of landlord
ism been felt more severely than In
Ireland. In 1008 the farming classes
secured a law for which they had been
fighting for years—n land purchase law
similar to the one In operation In Deu
mark. In a little more than a year
nearly one-third of the land lu Ire
Inn** was purchased by the men who
were working It The results were
quickly seen lo better farming, more
Industrious farmers and better cnndl
firms throtrrVot the whole country.

nave yet to decide whether to settle
the land owership problem by co
operation or by government assist
ance. This is the most important ques
tion before the country today. It is
a question that directly affects crop
production. The farmer, as the one
most directly concerned, must be fore
most in the solution. Yet he Is by no
means the only one affected. The .
prosperity of the whole nation is di- J
rectly concerned, for the nation’s food
supply is hanging in the balance.
If the high prices impress upon the
country the fact that national pros
perity depends as much upon the pros
perity of the farmer as upon that of
the manufacturer, the farmer's exist
ence will be justified. The day of a
government of the people, by the farm
ers, for the cities. Is at an end. The
farmer must be considered in legisla
tion. He will force a consideration of
his Interests. He is already demand
ing his rights.
There need be no fear of the farmer
domination of government In this coun
try. Our territory Is too large and our
Interests too varied. At the same time
all indications point to the ifr’ct that
business domination must end. If
business cannot thrive without special
favors from legislatures it would bet
ter be left to eke out a sickly exist
ence. The truth is it can thrive on the
same treatment that Is meted out to
the rest of the citizens of the United
States.
Fair legislation will not hurt busi
ness. It may hurt some of the over
fattened parasites who hide behind
the shelter of business and raise the
cry of panic every time a reform is
proposed. If it does, so much the bet
ter. The world can do without them
very well. The city harbors too many
people whose right to live is not based
upon anything they have ever done for
society. It is to the country statesman,
with views unbiased by the
tion of luxurious living, that we must
look for the initiation of this great re
form. His innate sense of justice will
not be satisfied with the shadow of re
form. His natural conservatism will
prevent radical steps that defeat the
purpose of reform. Under his guid
ance the details of popular govern
ment will be worked out to a success
ful conclusion. Government by spe
cial interests must end. Real repre
sentative government will take its
place. The short ballot, the direct pri
mary and the initiative and referen
dum are all steps to that end. Any
thing that will make machine rule
more difficult and popular rule more
simple is for the general good.
Most of the problems of popular gov
ernment are still to be worked out.
No one can forsee the exact trend
which popular government will take.
There are several influences at work,
however, which show in a measure the
tendency of the times. It is not likely
that the government of the United
States will develop a paternalism'
which some other countries call gov
ernment by the people. There is too
much individualism about the Amer
ican people for that. While the Cana
dian farmers have been actively cam
paigning for government ownership of
elevators, the farmers of the United
States have solved the grain trust
problem through co-operation. While
the agitation for the postal savings
bank has been sweeping over the coun
try, the farmer has never actively de
manded that the government go into
the banking business. He is not averse
to the idea of a safe depository where
the laborers of the cities can deposit
their savings. He admits that postal
savings banks may be a convenience
in some communities and may be the
means of bringing hoarded money into
circulation. For the most part, how
ever, he is satisfied with his co-opera-

tlve bank. It supplies his needs, and
he has great faith In the future of co
operative banking.
The farmer wants a parcels post, but
he does not advocate government own
ership of express companies. The kind
of parcels post he wants Is one that
will enable him to get goods from
town over the rural route at a low
rate, with a higher rate for goods from
another town. For the general busi
ness be is satisfied with the express
companies—not as they are run at
present, perhaps, but as he believes
they can be made to operate with effi
cient regulation.
The American farmer Is not demand
ing the government ownership of rail
roads. He prefers to control our yes
ent railroads more effectively. Then,
too. be cau build electric lines of his
own If It becomes necessary. He does
not ask that the government dissolve
the beef trust by the process of assim
ilation. Instead he is talking of co
operative packing bouses.
The tendency of the farming popu
lation of America Is to favor co-opera
