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 ‘~J V 'fa ■■ I—, -%t OOIN’ FIBHIN’—ONE COUNTRY JOY WHEUI CO-OPEUATION IS EASY. 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. e. » READ HERALD WANT AOS. 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- •<;. 'fi^ A CO-OPERATIVE MARKET WWERE PRO DUCER AND CONSUMER MEET. 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 fiot, rat'ier than government owner chin READ HERALD WANT ADSL
