Open Letter to Governor Willson on Tobacco Question
Augustus E. Willson is criticized for his tobacco policy stance. The letter argues the tobacco trust harms farmers, describes how buyers manipulate prices, and urges organized cooperation through the Burley Society to win fair pricing. It condemns mischaracterizations and calls for enforcement of antitrust laws and farmer education.
