Farmer's Holiday
Movement Started
at Mynard Meet
Large Number Attend Mass Meeting
to Hear the Farm Situation
of Today Discussed.
From Friday's Daily
Tho Mynard community building
was rilled to its capacity last eve
ning by residents from all parts of
eastern Cass county, coming to hear
the Farmer's Holiday movement dis
cussed and explained by speakers and
to form an active unit of the organ
ization which the embattled farmers
of the west are joining.
The meeting was presided over by
W. F. Nolte, one of the active farm
leaders of the county and who intro
duced the speakers of the evening.
Rev. H. E. McKelvey. pastor of
the Mynard church, was the first
speaker and gave a few moments to
tho causes of the present depression.
The speaker stated that since 1873
the nation had been visited at inter
vals by what was called panics or de
pressions, which had been prepared
by the large money interests of the
nation to impoverish the peoples of
the land to secure their possessions
for practically nothing. In all of the
depressions the hand of the money
power of Wall street was hidden, they
had been the ones to profit in bil
lions while the people of the land suf
fered the loss of work, homes and
property. In the panic of 1907 J.
P. Morgan had aided in the forming
of great trusts and Harriman, tour
ing the nation had formed the rail
roads in a great combine. Into all
parts of tho nation key men had been
placed by big interests and who had
secured strangle holds on the prop
erty of the people. The speaker illus
trated his point with the story of the
bee keeper, who, in the spring had
hives placed and in which the bees
work until fall when they are de
prived of their honey, just enough to
keep them alive being left and in
the spring again the bees got busy.
This was the manner of the money
power that at periods created the.se
panics and after the goal was attain
ed the conditions were again Ap
proved and the people allowed to
again accumulate that they might be
later looted. The co-operation of the
farmer, the laborer and the church
was urged to combat this evil.
The chief speaker of the evening
was W. H. Crocker, of Lincoln, a
state organizer of the Farmer's Holi
day movement. Mr. Crocker opened
his remarks with the statement that
the movement was not one of vio
lence, that 'it numbered among its
ranks bankers, business and profes
sional men as well as ministers of all
faiths, all of whom recognized the
condition of the country and sought
a remedy from the trouble. The
movement so far had outstripped any
thing of its kind that had heretofore
been proposed to protect the lives
and property of the people from Wall
street and big interests.
If the present conditions were al
lowed to prevail there would be no
need for a holiday or any other ac
tion unless it was done at once and
effectively. The speaker had little
hope in legislation by congress, dom
inated, as the speaker claimed, by the
big interests. In Nebraska there were
seventy-five percent of the farmers
broke.
If the movements for the farmer's
betterment were net successful now,
the smaller children now in school
would see the day when the people
of the farm belt were reduced to the
status of the wooden shocd peasants
of Europe.
The speaker pleaded with The aud
ience to carry on the principles of
tho declaration cf independence for
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi
ness, that unless they took action
and had constructive and fearles3
leadership, they wouia lose all of the
liberties so bitterly bought by their
ancestors. The forebears of almost
all of the people had come from Eu
rope in tho beginning to escape the
conditions that are just now being
fastened on the nation through the
money powers. To resist this was
the need of the hour and the call was
clear for all real Americans. The
holiday movement had no idea of
changing tho form of government,
but it wished to preserve it as it had
been given to us. It asked merely
that property be allowed to remain
with the American people.
To press hi3 point the speaker read
statements which he had culled from
various sources from national lead
ers in which the establishment of
peasantry and the elimination of the
middle clas3 to the peasant class was
advocated. The statements of the
speaker as to the views of many of
the political and economic leaders
was startling and revealed a general
plan for the impoverishment of the
j people of the nation.
The farmers were producers of
wealth and the fruit of their labor
was absorbed by others, ten years ago
the farmer could secure $1 for a
bushel of corn, six years ago he could
sell two bushel for $1 and now a
dime for a bushel. Other commodi
ties and manufactured goods had
come down, but only in a small way
compared with that of the farmer,
the reason was that the manufac
turer checked his output while the
farmer was unable to do so.
The speaker attacked the large life
insurance organizations as being the
money power behind the activities
of practically all large business in
terests and had particularly gathered
in the property interests of the
farmer.
In 1919 the speaker stated that
the word wa3 passed that the cost of
living was to be slashed and that the
price cf tho farm products was to
receive a cut. He with others had
gone to Washington to protest, with
out effect, and the deflation of the
farmer was made. The banks were
urged to cease loans to the farmers
and the money and credit of the
country curtailed so that the march
of ruin to the farmers and common
rjeonle cf the country opened. The
inflation of the currency would help
in tho restoration of a stable price
and the betterment of conditions, the
speaker stated.
Discussing tho large insurance
farm loans, many cf which are now
being foreclosed in all parts of the
state, Mr. Crocker told of the law ot
Texas which compelled the insurance
companies to invest in the state the
amount of the revenue that they re
ceived from the state. The speaker
favored in Nebraska a law that would
compel the re-investments of the
funds in the state on farm loans in
the amount of insurance carried by
the farm families. Farm mortgages
was the greatest menace of the pres
ent time and which was the chief
instrument that was taking the land
from the people and reducing them
to peasantry.
The speaker explained the use of
scrip, being used now in many places
of Nebraska and the middle west.
The city or county issued a check or
printed bill of exchange in payment
of services, this was ctamped by the
person holding it on the first or fif
teenth of the month, the stamp also
issued by the city being purchased
for two cents. When the fifty-two
stamp3 were all on the bill of ex
change it was redeemed in money by
the issuing power. The medium serv
ices for many transactions and also
gives the city or county a two-cent
profit. This means of substitute
money would go a long way toward
making the money cheaper.
The speaker urged changes in the
laws cf the state to give a holiday
on the farm mortgage and to extend
to banks the holiday at times when
they might be pressed.
The speaker in his conclusion
stated that the whole story of the
Farmer's Holiday movement was in
the cost of production and when the
farmer received a fair return on this
that movement would be a success.
The fees of the organization would
bo 50c a family, which did not in
any way pay for the cost, but assist
ed in carrying on the work.
At the close of the address a tem
porary organization was established
and which will carry on the work of
enrolling members and preparing for
the active campaign of the organ
ization. The following were named:
W. F. Nolte, chairman; J. L. Stamp,
vice-chairman; Charles Stretten, secretary-treasurer.
A large number were enrolled in
the membership of the holiday move
ment as soon as the local organiz
ation was formed and plans made for
the further campaign for members.

PLATTSMOUTH SEMI -WEEKLY JOURNAL
Proposes the
Repeal of Tax
Exemptions
Representative Cornstock of Lancas
ter Will Exclude State Prop
erty Income Tax In.
Representative Comstock, republi
can of Lancaster, announced Thurs
day that he will introduce a bill re
pealing property exemptions as set
forth in the statutes with the excep
tion of property of state and its sub
divisions. He also will exclude per
sonal property to the value of $200
and possibly school property. Mr.
Comstock's purpose is to put back on
the tax list many lodge and other
properties declared exempt, under
the law, by the courts and to derive
revenue from numerous other prop
erties heretofore tax free.
Tho present statute exempts from
tan property of the state and its gov
ernmental subdivisions, property
owned by and use exclusively for
agricultural and horticultural so
cieties and property owned and used
exclusively for educational, religious,
charitable and cemetery purposes
when such proprtie3 are not used for
financial gain.
Cushing's income tax bill made its
introductory appearance Thursday.
Co-introducers are Messrs. Lukens,
Emil Anderson, Jensen, Havekost,
Burr. Binfield and Anderson of
Nuclolla. It provides for a state
tax on net income3 of all single per
sons .over $500 and married persons
over $1,000 with $200 allowance for
each child and dependent. Gradu
ated tax ranges from 1 to 5 percent
on personal incomes. Corporation tax
4 percent. Minimum tax payment,
$3. Penalty one-half of 1 percent
per month.
Relief Legislation.
Dugan, Douglas, introduced a bill
looking to relief of farm and home
owners. It increases from nine to
eighteen months the period during
which the owner3 of real estate may
retain possession under foreclosure
proceedings by giving nine months
in which to answer a petition filed
for foreclosure.
Adams of Srottsbluff introduced a
bill making possession of cannibas,
Mexican narcotic, an offense in ad
dition to planting, cultivation and
sale, providing a fine of not more
than $700 or three months in Jail for
first offense.
' Mitchell of Lancaster and eight
others presented a joint resolution
calling for a constitutional amend
ment reducing salaries of legislators
20 percent, or from $S00 to $640.
Prior to the constitutional conven
tion of 1920 the legislative wage was
$600 per member. Heater of Fron
tier, recently experienced dismal
failure in his attempt to induce house
members to lay 10 percent of their
salaries aside to meet other expenses
of the state.
7TH GRADE DEFEATS STH
From Friday's Daily
In a hotly contested basketball
game after school last evening the
seventh grade defeated the eighth
grade by a margin of 17 to 15. The
combination of VanLanningham and
Dasher proved too much for the up
per classmen in Junior High. Arly
VanLanningham, playing at forward
scored 9 of the seventh grade points
and showed . flashes of speed that
would indicate thift ho will eventual
ly be a good performer for Coach
Rothert. The main point getters on
the eighth grade team were Richard
Hatt, Jack Forbes and Elmer New
ton. The eighth grade underestimated
the strength of the under classmen
by using their substitutes the first
quarter. The eighth grade was un
able to overcome the handicap that
the seventh grade had gained in this
time.

petition the Nebraska Central Tele
phone company for a one-third re
duction of rates. A later meeting
will be held to discuss a petition for
lowering of electric rates.
Automobile license fees and the
gas tax were also discussed. The
group generally favored a reduction
in license fees from $12 to $S to
$6 and $4 and favored reducing the
gasoline tax by a cent per gallon.
A copy of the recommendations will

Representative Muller.
County Agent
System Under
Farmers' Fire

Nebraska's county agent cyctem
came under the hammer of five hun
dred delegates at the cloning session
of the twentieth annual rtate con

city auditorium at Omaha, Thursday
afternoon. They unanimously in
dorsed this resolution:
"We demand that the present un
reasonable and un-American law con
cerning the establishment of county
agents in Nebraska be zo amended
that the will of the majority may be
readily expressed."
Proponents asserted that under the
present law it i.i practically impos
sible for a county "to free itself from
supporting the county agent work."
Kecncy He-elected.
This action followed re-election of
President H. G. Keency fcr his ninth
one-year term.
In addition, tho convention called
upon congress to "materially reduce
all appropriations for agricultural
extension work and other dollar
matching educational schemes."
The legislature was aked to "cease
appropriating thousands of dollars
for tho state fair each bienniura to
pay its deficits, and that tho state

"Reduction cf telephone charges to

Move by Senate
to Override the
Philippine Veto
Proponents of Philippine Island Free
dom Hope for Same Ac
tion as House.
Four Nebraska house members:
Howard, Morehead, Norton and Shal
lenberger voted to override the veto.
Baldrige was paired against. Sim
mons was unrecorded.
Washington. One formidable ob
stacle stood between the Philippine
islands and freedom a senate vote
on overriding President Hoover's
veto.
Guarding the outlook, after the
house had voted emphatically to set
aside the chief executive's veto and
make law the pending measure to
give the Pacific dependency its inde
pendence after ten years, senate
sponsors of the bill were uncertain
of commanding the votes necessary
for similar action in this branch. The
democratic controlled house earlier
had smashed down with vim upon
Mr. Hoover's argument that the bill
invited "grave dangers of foreign in
vasion and war." Within two houra
from the time the president's veto
mesrage was received it voted 274 to
94 to override. One democrat, Martin
of Oregon, former army officer, join
ed ninety-three republicans in an ef
fort to rustain tho president. This
force fell short by twenty-nine of at
taining a third of those voting which
would have killed the bill.
Holding their line3 well, the dem
ocrats mustered 191 and were joined
by eighty-two republicans, mostly
from agricultural states and the one
farmer-la'oorite, Kvale of Minnesota.
Immediately after the Louse acted
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, dem
ocratic leader, announced he would
ask for early consideration in his
branch, which passed the bill with
cut a record vote. The republican
leader. Senator Watson of Indiana
urged that action be delayed until
Monday, and said he was confident
tho president's veto would be sus
taincd.
" A great shout went up in the house
when Speaker Garner announced the
motion by Chairman Hare of the in
stslar affairs- committee to over-ride
the veto had been carried. The
Philippine resident commissioners
03ia3 and Guevera were surrounded
and cheered. It was several minutes
before order was restored.
In vetoing the bill, which pro
vides for a decade of economic and
political adjustment prior to free
dom. President Hoover said: "This
legislation puts both our people and
the Philippine people not on the road
to liberty and safety, which we de
sire, but on the path leading to new
and enlarged dangers to liberty and
freedom itself.
"In my view we must undertake
further steps toward the liberation
of the Philippine Islands, but they
should be based upon a plebiscite to
be taken fifteen or twenty years
hence. On such an occasion there
would be a full impress upon the
Filipinos of the consequences of their
act instead cf its confusion as a side
issue to the substitution of another
intermediate form of self govern
ment offering no vital improvement
in' their liberties to that they now
possess. ' -
"They would then have freedom
to form their own constitution and
government, both in the light of ex
pericne and the forces moving at
that time. Immigration should bo re
stricted at once. We should co-operate
with them to bring about their
economic, independence before the
plebiscite by very gradual reduction
cf their free imports. The United
States should plainly announco prior
to the time of this plebiscite whether
it will make absolute and complete
withdrawal from all military and
naval bases, and from every moral or
other commitment to maintain their
independence, or the conditions as
to authority and right3 within the
islands under which we will continue
that protection.
These final steps cannot be prop
erly determined now by either the
Philippine people or ourselves,"
President Hoover contended that
the Philippines are "absolutely de
pendent upon the!r favored trade
with the United States" and that
with too quickly diminished exports
many cf the islands industries would
be unable to compete with neighbor
ing countries. State Journal.
