STATE SCHOOL LANDS

Rsason Why thisr 10 not Liable to b sals
this Coming Fali.
Auditor Brandjord has been in cor
respondence with the state land depart
ment at Bismarck in regard to the sale
Of the state school land this fall.
The following letter explains why
there is not liable to be sale this
year: '
, Bismarck, June 2Oth 1906
Iver NJ. Brandjord, .-.-.
! County Auditor.
Dear Sir: I have your letter OF
the 18th inst, with reference to the
holding of another sale Of school lands
IN: your county this year. There
would be no object in the states sell
ling lands this year, as it don't need
the money; money accruing from
former sales has accumulated in the
state treasury to the extent that it is
impossible under the present limita-
tions to invest the same in interest
bearing securities, and until the con-
situation is amended 80 that the school
funds can be invested in other than
school district bonds, there would be
no object in further increasing the
amount of money by further sales Of
land.
It is the policy of the board of Uni
versity and School lands to handle it's
lands to the best advantage, and as
there is no possibility of any depre-
cation in value it would seem that the
best plan would be to hold the lands
until such time as the moneys accruing
from the sale thereof can be invested
advantageously. -.- -. '.4.
Yours verv truly.
1 %. !. Hegge, Commissioner.

discharge individual men whose
work is unsatisfactory? What do yot
think of a man VINO can't hold a joI
on his own merits2
The men also undoubtedly have q
right to quit in a body, or individual
", if in so doing they do not break
a written or verbal contract.
Why not more than one union in
the same trade. as well as many
churches all teaching Christianity?
If it is right for the American Fed
Grafton of Labor to furnish men te
take the places of Industrial Work
ers of the World, why isn't it right
for the Standard Oil Co. to crush out
smaller companies and boycott
railroads tina haul the oil of indie
pendent producers?
If there is to be but one labor org
anization for each industry, why not
all the railroads under one head, all
government turned over to Presi-
dent Roosevelt or Emperor William,
all churches under one bishop?
If it is wrong for a %non-union man
to take the place of a striking union
man to take the place of another
striking union manor even of a no7-
union man for that matter?
If all printer%must come into the
Typographical Union Or not be al
lowed to earn a living at their trade.
why not all paper-makers join the
paper trust?
If all miners must belong to the
union or be blown up with dynamite,
why prosecute the coal dealers for
forming a trust?
If a union plasterer refuses to plas-
ter a house built by n%on-union car
penters, why should not a union man
refuse to buy dry goods and grocer
les from a merchant who cuts prices
and does not belong to the Retail
Merchants Association?
Hasn't a railroad as much right
to fix it's own rates for freight and
passengers as the B. l.. E., the B. l..
F., the o. R. It. Or the A. R. U. have
to dictate wages-or has the govern
ment4 a right to regulate rates?
If a strike of Chicago teamsters
can be ordered for $1,000 to help win
a strike of ~tailors, why complain of
railroads granting rebates to the
Standard Oil Company for their own
benefit.
And finally, if the Federation of
Labor is to enter politics as an org
anization, why prohibit other trusts
from contributing to campaign funds?
The Parson is a Democrat, and be-
lieves in free labor as well as free
trade. Freedom is the keynote of
The trusts are Socialis-
tic in principle, and opposed to the
development and reward of individual
merit and enterprise.
Labor, of course, has as much right
to form a trust as the ~plutocrats have,
