/ FARM|tRS MUST
TILE PROBLEM

E. Clyde Hillweg, publicist for the
Civic Commerce association OF Ainnea-
polls has taken it for granted that North
Dakota sees her way clear to harvesting
her own crop from now on.
Mr.. Hillweg made an effort to secure
men for the harvest fields Of this Sec
tion when rumors Of labor shortage
in this state reached Minneapolis. He
discovered in his search for men that
they could be brought to this state pro-
vided North Dakota paid the transpor-
tation. He wrote to this effect to the
Fargo Commercial club and explained
the impossibility Of gettine men to go to
the harvest fields unless their fares were
advanced. Receiving no ANSWER from
Fargo Mr.. TIillweg believed that the
situation here is no longer serious.
And he has the right idea. While there
is considerable threshing yet to be done
in the state the scarcity Of; help is not
delaying the work to any appreciable
extent at the present time.
However. any man who really wants to
work at good wages can get Job in
North Dakota. as everything Is on the
hum.
In speaking Of the labor problem
i which this state faces more or less ser.
ieusly every year. well known Crane
Forks business man this morning said:
every harvest in North Dakota bring
Its labor shortage, some years more se
we're than others. The season Just draw
ing to close has not been without its
annual shortage. Although, considerin,
the size Of the CROP conditions have beer
remarkably good. In any section Of tn
4 country where an enormous supply O
unskilled labor is needed for only a few
months, there Is bound to be shortage
In the first place the men who came t,
North Dakota to do the work In th
I harvest fields are men who ought t
have steady jobs Conditions should b
such that 1t would not be necessary TO
Ia great many men to travel hundreds o
miles to secure a few weeks work. I
probably has never occurred to the farm
ers Of North Dakota that they could an,
should conduct their farm so that tn
men could b. employed all the yea
around and so that only a compare
) lively small supply OF transient labo
, would be necessary. More intensifte
farming, the raising Of cattle and hogs
etc., would mean the steady employment
l. Of more, men on the farms. It woul
make stacking profitable and there woul
be no failure to get the crop threshed
, The labor shortage problem is one whic
the farmer himself and h only can solv
: Commercial organizations are anxious I
do all in their power TO see that tn
farmer is supplied with labor in tn
busy seasons, but for the final solutio
of the problem rests with the North Da
kota farmer"

merly with the exception Of a raise Of
.T which the county commissioners ns-
ured wisely in levyins since in the next
year 1t will raise $780, thus rtiring QS.-
900 bonds at six per cent due in 1916.
The county has some money on hand
for this purpose and by making this
slight raise now it will make reduction
of six per cent or N,oso year.
The levy as figured out will raise:
General fund, $4,000.

property or people the amount is turned

LATE SENATOR NIXON HAD
ADVENTUROUS CAREER.
His Own Story of How He Was Held
Up by Bank Robbers.

United States Senator George S. Nix
on of Nevada, who died recently, was
born on farm in Placer county, Cal,
tifty-two years ago. Farmer boy, tele-
graph operator, railroad agent, banker,
mine owner and rancher were the sue
cessive steps in his career. He enter
ed the employ of the Southern Pacific
when he was nineteen years old and
studied telegraphy. After four years
he took position with the Carson and
Colorado railroad for a year, after
which the president of the First Ma
tional bank of Reno, personal friend,
offered him a position in the bank.
He held this place for two years and
then helped to organize the First Ma
tional bank of Winnemucca, of which
he was cashier and manager until 1901.
when he was elected president. He
quickly identified himself with land re
claiming and ranching companies and
also with the mining interests of Gold
field, Tonopah and other camps. He
was a member of the Nevada state
legislature in 1891 and quickly forced
his way to the front as political lead
er. He was elected to the United
States senate in 1905 to succeed Will
liam Nj. Stewart. He became chair
man of the senate's national banks (se-
lecD committee and also OF the COM
mittees on coast defenses, irrigation.
mines, transportation and others.
II was talking to a friend in the pri-
vate Office of my bank in winnemucca
in September, 1909" Senator Nixon
once remarked. suddenly the door
burst open with a crash. and wild
looking man with a six shooter leaped
into the room and told us to hold up
our hands. He walked us out into the
lobby of the bank, where two other
men were holding the rest of the bank
employees up with rifles. The wild
looking man ordered me to open the
safe and when l made some excuse
drew knife and pressed IT against my
throat. | opened the safe in a hurry
They took $50, 900 In gold out of our
safes and, lining us up in the street.
jumped on their horses and dashed
away, shooting their rifles and pistols

deputy sheriff on a switch engine they
had the nerve to stop at my house.

horses. The same gang robbed an ev

and one Of them was almost caught

escaped after more gun play"

In the performance Of this duty
by the convention and in the accept

is to be applied the overcoming test
of party's fitness TO govern, its co
herence and its formative and con.
trolling power of organization.
without these things there can be
no party worthy of the name With

of sand. party organization is an inef

these qualities of conference and 10y

a confused and continual conflict lie
