SUCCESSFUL CONFERENCE.

Bismarck's first marketing confer.
ence was a great success. Unions OF
farmers representing a membership
Of more than 1000 were represented.
Many farmers unable to attend them
selves sent their representatives and
throughout the entire district meet
ings will be held to discuss the points
raised at yesterdays meeting.
Unfortunately some Of Congress-
man Young's friends attempted to in
ject politics into the farmers meet
ing. They sent up matter to be an
swered by the Equity speakers-and
received the answers.
This meeting was not organized in
behalf of any mans candidacy. Poll.
tics was tabooed from the start and
everything said about Congressman
1oung was invited by his owl
friends.
Editor Deisem of LaMoure sent a
copy of his paper defending Mr..
Young's stand on the Equity to the
platform and asked that its points
be taken up. His request was grant
ed both by Mr.. Anderson and Mr..
Kelly.
1t is unfortunate that Congressman
Young's hencemen who we're we'll
represented made this blunder,
The Farmers Equity Cooperative
exchange Is not in policies. 1t
should not be. Nor is the Farmers
Union in partisan politics.
However, Young's friends learned
where they stand with both the Equ-
ity and Union men and should be sat
isfied. Young is going up and down
the district making the Farmers Co.
operative Exchange the subject of his
addresses and attacking the Bis.
marck Tribune. Mr.. Young should
read the endorsement which the Equ-
ity and Union workers gave the Trib-
une at the meeting yesterday.
But some people have to have a
house fall in on them before they
take the hint.

THE MATTER WITH IOWA.

What is the matter with Iowa?"
asks the Providence Journal, referring
to the states loss of population be-
tween 1900 and 1910, and the census
bureaus estimate of a further loss
since that date. The Journal wants to
know why Iowa farmers have gone in
to Canada Notwithstanding the states
natural advantages.
The answer is to be found in the
census report on farming. Between
1900 and 1910 farm land values
throughout the United States have in
creased over 100 per cent. That means
that it was twice as hard to get farm
in the United States in 1910 than it
was in 1900. This increase was main
Iy speculative. That is shown in the
fact that while the population of the
country increased q per cent during
the decade, the cultivated farm area
increased only per cent.
In Iowa this tendency to boost land
values seems 10 have been stronger
than elsewhere according to a speech
made by Congressman Vollmer of that
state in the house of representatives
on March 10. Said Mr.. Vollmer in
speaking of the price of farm land:
I'm my county l have seen it go up
from $50 to $3.50 an acre, and still 60
ing up" That tells why Iowa farmers
go to Canada. They can not afford
to pay Iowa land prices. To farm in
Iowa, a man of small means must be
tenant and pay rack rent. Soon, as
"Rube" says, the farmer and manufac-
turer will be one and the same, and
the small working farmer will become
practically a serf.
1t is not fair to speak of Iowa as
the only state that has lost population.
Missouri is practically in the same fix,
as far as agricultural districts are con-
cerned. It's loss of rural population is
concealed In census returns by in
crease in the population Of st. Louis
and Kansas City. Iowa's loss is made
more conspicuous on account of it's
lack of large cities.

DANGER AHEAD FOR T
BUSINESS.

One of the greatest heneficiaries of
organized capital. Mr. Rockefeller, has
taken the ground that labor shall not
organize. To enforce his views in this
respect he has exercised sovereign
powers. He has exiled a whole COM
munity He has employed armed
forces For his benefit the civil law
has been suspended AS an auxiliary
to his own troops, the state militia
has been employed as in actual war,
This is the way some of our Latin
American neighbors carry on what
they call government. 1t is in situa-
tons like this that their revolutions
are fomented. When governments
take sides, promoting strife instead OF
preventing it; when they permit one
interest to exceed its rights and deny
to another interest even hearing
when in controversies that ought to
be settled with reason they use car
tridges instead of courts, what do they
expect?
