WRITES ON FARMERS' FINANCIAL MATTERS John Murtey, Former Representative from Cass County,- Gives Out line of His, Views. Alvo. Neb., Aug. 15.- -To the Edi- Builds an Elegant Home The K?v. E. A. Kniiiht. pastor of tli- Mrihodi-t church at Alvo. is ji?-T completing a modern home of the hu.icalow style with all the mo dern conveniences and is costing in the neighborhood of $r.t)O0. C!ar!e-s K. i;-tor departed this aff'-rniKi.i for Minneapolis, where he will enjoy a vacation ami visit with his mother. Mrs. Herman Hestor, who is making her home there with l.cr son. Guy and familv. tor of the Journal: The attorney general of Indiana upholds the decision that sales of Farmers' Finance corporation stock, financial subsidary of the latest errain pooling organization, cannot hp nermitted. chiefiv because the twenty-one shares of common stock held by twenty-one men is out of all proportion to the hundred million of referred stock. It has been admitted by the offi cers of the Grain Growers corpora tion (Gustafson. president) that the fellow who was reported to be mtxea up with Boiling ingetting advance in formation on the president s message in war time to work the New York stock market is their chief advisor. It now appears that this hundred mil lion of farmers' money is to be han dled by twenty-one men. Eleven of them would hold the majority of the voting stock with a Wall street gam bler as their chief adrisor. Governor McKelvie's paper, the Nebraska Farmer, both editorially and otherwise, indorses this grain marketing scheme. Governor McKel vie recently appeared on the same platform with Howard, president of the farm bureau, at Geneva. Neb. Howard was advising farmers to buy stock in this grain pooling corpora tion that would take a hundred mil lion of the farmers money and take over all the grain they would grow for six years to sell at any price and at anv time they wished and if a farmer sold outside they would fine him 10 cents a bushel on wheat and i cents a bushel on corn. It is self- evident that they expect to buy it cheap or they would not need this clause in their contract. It seems that Governor McKelvie and the attorney general of Nebraska do not feel that it is their duty to protect the farmers of Nebraska like the attornev ceneral of Indiana is trying to do. The same sort ot propaganda is being used to j:et the farmer's money into this latest grain marketing and pooling scheme as was used to sell Skinner Backing company stock to farmers. McKelvie's paper. Gustaf son and other Farmer's Union of ficers were telling the farmer that they must buy stock and own their own packing houses, but after they had worked the packing house deal threadbare they commenced working on this new scheme proclaiming all over the state that the farmers should own their own terminal ele vators, etc. They never mention the fact t hat grain gets out of condition in terminal elevators, that nearly all grain companies where the man- &alt at. Alvo! Best number one salt $3.00 a barrel at the Lumber Yard. JOHN RflURTEY, ALVO NEBRASKA Dear Mr. Grain Grower! I have purchased the elevator and good will of the Farmers' Co-operative association of Alvo. See us, or call phone 2420 before selling your grain. LEE HILL, Owner . Elbert Taylor, Resident Mgr. ALVO NEBRASKA TO seal in the delicious Burlcy flavor Once you've enjoyed the toasted flavor you will al ways want it acers don't absolutely own a large share of the stock the business goes broke. This is the reason that the biir irrain men of Lincoln can't live in Lincoln and operate a elevator in Omaha by hired men only, successfully. When our state is reeking with graft, and all kinds of cash tip-; to get the farmer's money, it would seem as though our governor would pause a moment and look over the situation and his newspaper would not encourage the sale of stecks to farmers in this, one of the wildest (and probably the largest grafting scheme! that was ever put atioat. The people of Nebraska, like the people in North. Dakota have been, are helpless to protect themselves. Our governor, attorney general and bureau of securities and state bank ing department will not call a spe cial rommilte? to investigate them selves. The legislature is not in ses sion, so that our farmers are help less. There is no judicial machinery that will protect them. Look at the net results ot" this ad ministration: Two million dollars lost to the bank guarany fund: eight million dollars' worth of worth less stock sold to the farmers for cash and liberty bonds; about seven million dollars' worth of Skinner Backing stock and large amounts of packing stock owned by farmers in Sioux City packing houses now in receivers' hands. This administration approving of another hundred million stock in a new pooling arrangement would tie up our farmers for six years and penalize them heavily if they broke their contract.
