tive Exchange Proposition,
Last Saturday.
AN INTERESTING RPEAKER

Shareholders In This Farm.
ers' Organization.


this community came to Wahpe-
ton last Saturday to hear Goo.
is. LOTUS and other speakers talk
on grain terminals, and expourd
the doctrines Of the Equity CO.
operative Exchange. No doubt
the stormy weather kept many g.
way who otherwise would have
been here, but every chair in the
city hall was occupied anyway.
which tends to show that the
farmers are taking lively in
terest in the subject.
County Judge Van Arnam was
called on to preside, which he did
to the queens taste, and threw in
very neat and fluent little speech
of his own for good measure.
Elias SteenersOn, pioneer set
tier of the Crookston country and
a director in the Equity Exchange
was the first speaker. and he was
followed by 0. ID. Anderson, pres
ident Of the South Dakota Farm
ers' Elevator association. VIII,
spoke on co-operativc marketing
Mr.. Dugar of the official paper
Of the organization at Fargo was
present also.
But it was Loftus, the oalcs
manager for the Exchange, tina!
most Of the farmers came to hear
and he was the principal speakc.
Of the afternoon. His cen raj
theme was Terminals" and what
he said on that subject was inter-
esting and instructive. Following
his address quite number of $50
shares were subscribed by tn;
farmers present, and as the dag
was such a stormy one, it was all :
nounced that another meeting
will he held here in two weeks
from that date, which will be on
Saturday, March IA. Mr.. LOTUS
promised to he present at that
time also.
The Equity Cooperative En-
change is owned and controlled
absolutely, it was explained, by it's
farmer shareholders. It is op-
Grated by board of farmer direc-
tors, and is run on the Coop
erative plan. The profits, after
paying the dividends ON the stock,
are divided among shippers in
proportion to their own shipments
whether they own stock in the En-
change or not.

one can possibly say, but they
would scare you by their number
if they had not been prevented.
1t is true that we have had a pea
ceable, law-abiding city; but it is
just as true that that condition
is directly to be credited to our
police force and its aids. For
years, it has been the custom of
the police of Wahpeton to keeo
tab on every 'hoater" who comes
to town and. if he really wanted
work, to help him find a job; but.
if he did not want work, he was
either told to move on, or put
where he could do no crookedwork
1t cost us less than $4,000 a year
to pay the men who have kept the
town clean and peaceable. Was
not their work we'll worth what il
cost? I am very sure that it could
not have been done with any less
number of men than we employ
cd, or with the same number of
less competent ones.
There may be ways in which our
city expenses can be reduced, but
I honestly think that q reduction
either in the number of police.
men, or of their pay. would be an
extremely poor way to begin.
In this connection it must be
remembered that, under the laws
and the ordinances. as they now
are, the policemen get absolutely
no fees for serving any city pro-
cess, and, i'm all eases where sucil
fees are allowed or collected, they
must he turned into the city treas
ury. In former years, under the
fee system. the policemen receiv .
cd fees from this city business.
Now, as tn the ordinance put
ting the Police Magistrate on 1,
salary, want tn say that, instead
of increasing the cost nf that Of.
flee to the taxpayers, il has ac-
tually reduced that cost more
than one-half. More than that.
it has resulted in cleaning up our
city, thing that was impossible
to do when the Police Magistrate
got fees out of the running of un-
lawful resorts. In plain words,
under the fee system, the Police
Magistrate had To live: in order
to do that he must collect fees;
to get fees. there must be business
in his court; to get that business
arrests had to be made. and that
RESULTED in the monthly arrest,
and filming of prostitutes. Out OF
every arrest and fine, the magis-
trate got his fees.
In the past year. the city has
paid the police magistrate 5000,
and no more. That official has
turned into the city treasury,
from the city business, alone,
$305.05, and from county crimi-
nal business $1,000, more, max
ing $335.95. So the business Of
the city in the police magistrate :
court for the year has actually
cost the taxpayers s264.O5. For
the service of the papers in that
business, the police of the city
have not been paid by the city e
single dollar.
The truth is that the police de-
partment, including the magis-
trate, is costing the city, today
much less than it ever did under
the fee system, and we have d
clean town. But. if the people
want the old method, it can b.
had as we'll under our present
laws and ordinances as ever be-
fore, and at less than half the
cost.

Needs Prodding.

That the Public Service Electric Light
Company needs stirring up is a fact that
is apparent to all who have watched the
actions of this corporation for some past.
Day current was promised a long time
ago. and after considerable DELAY there
was an effort to install it. From that
date the lighting system of Mount Holly
has been joke, and has been SO bad
that the township committee has refus
cd to pay the bills for lighting, cutting
them in accordance with the failure to
live up to the contract.
Friday wOrkmen were busy changing
the lamps in the eastern section of the
town and when it came time to light up
for the evening the circuit refused to
work. The men kept at their labors un-
til late in the evening, when some of the
lamps gave light. On Brainard str eet
particularly, was the lack of light no
ticed. There was an entertainment at
the high school building, and the street
was in total darkness until after the
show was over. If it had not been for
the kindness of some automobile owners
who had their machines standing along
the street and kept their headlights on
it would have been quite difficult to find
ones way.
New lamps have been installed in diff
ferent parts of the town and if it were
not that people know that is a positive
fact it would be hard to discover where a
new light has been put in, as the i'm
provement that ought to follow is very
poor.
The township committee is watching
this matter very closely. District mana
ger Young, of the Public Service Corpor-
alton, will meet the committee this even.
ing and it is very probable that there will
be change in conditions before long
| A nd there should be.
