CHEAPER OR LESS FOOD.

For many years The Forum has urg
ed the farmers of North Dakota to I'll
versity and rotate their crops and 70
make every effort to conserve the fe
tility o. the soil. The recent agita-
tion on me high cost of living has
shown-to a greater degree than ever
before-the imperative necessity OF
some action of this kind.
Bread and meat will never be
great deal cheaper than at the present
time. There will be fluctuations, of
course, but it is idle to hope there will
be any marked or long continued de-
crease in the price Of the necessities
Of life. The people of the United
States might as we'll prepare them
selves to face the changed conditions.
North Dakota-being an agricultur
al and a producing state-is prolting
by the situation. But how long will it
last?
The cream of the fertility has been
SKINNED from the soil of this country.
The United States was blessed with
the most fertile lands in the world.
The continued growing of grain on the
same fields has robbed them of their
richness. The farmers have taken
away from the soil with reckless ex-
travagance-but have given nothing
back to restore its fertility. The ef-
fects are evident in the low yields.
1t is a disgrace that the average
wheat yield of North Dakota is only
about thirteen bushels per acre. 1t IL
methods that are now in vogue.
There are other reasons why breat
and meat will not permanently go Il
lower figures. Improved methods 0
sanitation will lengthen human life
The advocacy of worldwide peace ha
become so strong there will be fewe
wars to kiln off hundreds of thousand
of men. The natural increase in tn
human race will be continued. Infan
tile diseases are being more sanel
treated-and the sum total of tn
worlds population will grow to i'm
mense figures.
The worlds production Of foodstuff
must be greatly increased to suppl
the people even at present prices.
There is a peculiar condition in tn
connection. Some people assert tn
breadstuffs will be cheaper becau
more range lands are being brougl
into cultivation. This very fact, hov
ever lessons the possibilities of Il
meat supply.
In some quarters much is expects
from irrigation--but the area OF ar
land that can be reclaimed is compa
atively small.
A strict conservation Of all the ma
ural resources must be insisted upo
But above all the fertility of the 81
must be restored. New farming met
DDS must be adopted--and the farme
of North Dakota should read the han
writing on the wall. They should ia
the initiative in a national moveme
In this direction. Selfish interest
nothing else should incite them
this that they may profit by the n,
conditions.

ton as to their reputation.
l have stated to you that it made
no difference what Mr. Collins mo-
tives were in this action. It Is q
question beyond Mr.. Collins. I con-
sidered this matter several weeks be-
fore it was undertaken and told Mr..
Collins that if l undertook it would
go through with it, and he could not
stop me, and l would not go into it
unless there was something wrong.
Governor: This board has got very
little power in matter of this kind.
If this sale had been recently made
and sale not proved upon a proper
showing, the board could disapprove
the sale, but as it stands now we
have very little power in the mat
ter.
We have granted this hearing for
the purpose of getting some light up
on some of the charges that Mr.. Col
Inns has made, and as to whether or
not these charges are sufficient to
base an action on for the cancella-
ton of these contracts. I think that
is a question that should be deter
mined by the attorney generals Of
flee, because If there is an action in
stituted for the cancellation of these
contracts such action would have to
be brought by the attorney general.
As to whether or not there is suffi-
cient evidence at the present time to
justify him in instituting an action,
l think that is question for him to
decide and for his Office to decide,
and therefore move that the ste
nographer be instructed to transcribe
this entire record and that the same
be presented to the attorney general
with the instructions to take such
action as may be necessary to pro-
tect the rights of the state or rather
the rights of the school fund.

We have nothing concealed here
gentlemen. In the face of that kind
OF showing it does not seem to me
that there is anything here that ought
to entail upon the state the burden
and expense of an investigation that
would throw upon these men the bur-
den and expense of standing litigation
and if I am. wrong in the opinion of
the board, then go ahead and let it
be aired from top to bottom, for we
have nothing to conceal and we will
cooperate and assist, and if Mr.. Col
Inns is put OF the witness stand in
this matter, if I am connected with
this litigation, will promise him two
hours of the most interesting time
of his life.
Mr.. McEnroe: I am glad counsel
has stated who will make these aft
davits, and what these will be, and
am also very glad that he has told, us
that these affidavits will come from
people who are all interested in this
matter, and they should, coming from
that source, be very strong, and l
am glad that he has Informed Mr..
collins that if there is hearing that
he will promise him two hours Of
very warm procedure.
Mr.. Rex: You misunderstood me.
What I had in mind was this, simply
that when the case came into court,
he will have to submit to cross ex-
animation.
Mr.. McEnroe: We take it in the
spirit offered. We believe We have
stated before that we have furnished
this board with the evidence of out
side parties that are interested which
is worthy of consideration. And on
the other hand all the evidence ma

are not in point, and great many Of

If Mr.. Thompson and Mr.. Lord are
to be believed, and also the differences
that are to be drawn from certain
other matters that have crept In here
today, this proceeding was initiated
and prosecuted by Mr.. Collins for
Interior motives, and believe that to
be the fact, and l think the record
shows it. So much for Mr.. Collins
himself.
When you eliminate him from this
investigation, If in the opinion of this
board on consideration there is
enough of it left, that it apparently
ought to be investigated, why gen
tlemen, as far as the people that
represent are concerned, we are here
not to hide anythingor to keep back
anything-I think our conduct here
today makes this plain to your hon
ors and corroborates me in this mat
ter-and as l say, after this matter
has had such investigation, if any, as
you may see fit to give it, there is
anything left for consideration, we
say go ahead. We have nothing to
conceal from you gentlemen or the
people of the state of North Dakota.
There is not anything in our case that
won't stand fire or stand cross exam
ination or procedure in any court.
And that is the situation in this
matter. It does not seem to me as
l look at it, that there is enough of
actual fact here or any intimation Of
any actual facts lying back of this
THREE Daily Pinkney %
matter, such as would justify or au-
thorize this board in taking any &C.
tion. Perhaps l am wrong on that.
l may be biased, and if l am wrong
in the opinion Of the board, why let
there be an investigation.
It is somewhat premature for me
at this time-not exactly premature,

Collins and that if this board does
not see fit to act in this matter, why
we'll and good. l am quite thankful
to the board for what they have done
and the courtesies they have extend
ed me in this matter, but shall not
stop even though this board turn me
down in this matter at this time be-
cause l feel that this state has been
robbed of money and property be-
longing to the state and belonging to
the schools of our state, and 1t this
board, will not act in this case, why
another board perhaps will.
Mr.. Rex: l would like to take
three or four minutes in conclusion.
I am curious to know what phase
of this so-called proof or information
counsel refers to that he has con-
f1dence in. One of the first tests
and most obvious test in the case is
a mans confidence in his case. II
he has confidence in it he ought to
be willing to submit it to inspection
by the other side I do not need to
tell you gentlemen what has taken
place here today, and those of you
who are lawyers, the governor and
Mr.. Blaisdell, know the extent to
which we have been hampered, not
to browbeat or bully anybody, but
merely cross examine, by the fiat re-
fusal of Mr. Collins to stand fire.
Now l submit two things, two sug-
gestions in connection with this mat
ter as they occur to me. I am not
going to call Mr.. Collins any hard
names, but l think that l am well
within the mark as to what proof and
truth there is in this matter when
I say to you that you ought not to
give weight or credence or respect
to any statement that that man has
made today, or any other time before
you.

Laxdall will testify to, but in view
of the consent of the board to our

Laxdall will state. Mr.. Laxdall's afti'
davit will show that the sale was
conducted from start to finish in the
way and manner in which these sales
are conducted; that in view of the
enactment put through the legislature
by Senator Cashel in 1901, it was i'm
possible to get the necessary amount
of lands for these sales without TAX
ing leased land. For instance, Mr..
McCanna's land could not be sold
without his consent, and when that
land was reached on that sale it was
passed and announced by Mr.. Lax
dayy at the time that the land would
be passed at that time on account
of Mr.. McCanna's absence. It was
known to everybody what had taken
place, the fact of Mr.. Lemke's death.
It was publically announced that tho
sale would be passed and announced
next morning. And Mr.. Laxdall will
