WILL HAVE TO RAISE PRICES

After thorough investigation OF
the newspaper situation the depart
ment of journalism of the Kansas uni
versity has issued the following bulle.
tin:
"The newspapers of the United
States today face a situation unparal.
led in the history of the press of this
country. The public has felt the eff.
feet of the European war in purchas-
ing commodities, and is about to fee
its effect upon the price of newspa-
pers. 1t is now up to the newspapers
to tell their readers and advertisers
why an Increase in price is necessary
In other words the press faces an ed
ucational campaign for it's own saliva
ton.
When the average man purchases a
staple article today and finds the price
has increased from rs to SO per cent,
he already knows or is told that the
war has brought about such condi-
ton. The manufacturer of that ar
tlcle has already perhaps advertised
the fact that he is compelled to in
crease his prices. No industry is more
seriously affected by the war than the
newspapers of this country, and vet
an increase in advertising or circula-
ton rates is Immediately frowned up
on because the newspapers have failed
to inform the public to what a great
extent they are affected by the war.
If the newspapers will tell their
readers and advertisers that the price
of some inks has increased 400 per
cent; that rags, the raw material for
paper making, is also used for the
manufacture Of high explosives and
has assembled in cost on level with
the Elffel tower; that French bleach,
so necessary for the manufacture of
paper, can hardly be had at any price,
and that a score of other necessary
chemicals have jumped almost out of
sight, they will find their task of rails
ing rates much easier. That all news
papers will be compelled to take such
action is certain. Many have already
done so, and the paper attempting to
adhere to it's old rate basis will soon
lind the sheriff locking the front door.
The big paper mills of the country see
no relief in sight for many months,
even should the great war cease this
summer, something now unexpected.
The newspapers of this country will
be compelled to do what the big manu.
facturers have already done-raise
their rates in proportion to the in
creased cost of production.

The good people of Minot and vicin-
ity will no doubt remember for long
time the scurrilous editorial in the
Tuesday mornings edition of Parson
Guilds Fargo Courier News, in which
the members of Co. D are attacked.
In commenting on the behavior of the
First Regiment at Fort Lincoln, the
News says, "Co. D from Minot does
not seem to come up to the rest of the
regiment in spirit and morale, if the
other soldiers may be believed" This
statement is uncalled for and the In
dependent believes that it is a lie.

merchantmen submarine, arrived in

and crude rubber. sorely needed by the
German army. This is the first of a
line of German undersea vessels which
will ply between the Fatherland and
America. Although the enemy cruis-
ers were waiting along the American
coast for the arrival of the submarine,
the vessel slipped in safely and land
ed in Baltimore. The vessel is 80
feet long and carries $50 tons dead

Farm values turnout the state are
advancing and especially in the vicin-
ity of Minot. One of our most promi-
nent real estate firms informs the In
dependent that they are selling more
land this season than ever before and
at higher prices. Very little land
within radius Of Is miles of Minot
can be touched for less than $40 per
acre. Farmers are just beginning to
realize the actual value of their land
which will produce far better crops
than many Of the 5000 an acre worm

One matter in particular should
claim the attention of the Park BoarC
and that at once is an investigation OF
conditions along the banks of the
Mouse river. Residents along the
Mouse have made practice of dump.
ing old tin cans and all kinds of ref
use matter along the banks of the
stream until condition exists that
makes Chicago river and its environs
smell like the perfumes of Arabia in
comparison. This practice of dump
ing rubbish and effete matter, we are
sorry to say, has not been confined to
sections lined by the homes Of resi-
dents in poor circumstances, but there
is abundant evidence that those oc-
cupying official stations, and men of
means have been equally careless in
this respect
The Mouse as it winds it's torturous
channel so peacefully down the valley,
its banks covered with stately trees
and charming verdure should be one
of the objects of beauty, to be shown
visitors to our otherwise fair city, but
the practices cited above make it
necessary to keep visitors as far away
from the stream as possible SO long
as present conditions exist. For miles
on either side of this city the Mouse
is one of the prettiest streams in the
state. Boating on the Mouse, in ca
noes and motor boats will eventually
become one of the leading pastimes of
our people during the summer months.
A canoe trip from this city to Burling-
ton involves some 49 miles of travel.
provided one takes no advantage of
the numerous portages. In one place
portage of less than ten rods saves
between three and four miles of pad
ding The distance to Burlington di-
rect is S15 miles.
Conditions above the city along the
banks Of the Mouse should claim the
attention of the health authorities Of
the county as well as those having
to do with the water supply and
health of the city of Minot. Above the
500 bridge the stencil arising from the
putrid animals which have been haul
ed into the woods adjoining the stream
makes it next to impossible, except to
those with cast-iron 'innards, to pass
the spot. It's time someone got busy,
that the health of our citizens may be
no longer kept in jeopardy.

Those Illinois politicians are mighty
slow. The writer left Illinois fifteen
years ago. Colonel Frank Lowden.
candidate for governor of the Sucker
state, doesn't know it. In addressing
the writer at his former Illinois ad-
dress, he says we have been recon-
mended as one of the active, infuen-
tial republicans of the district and
that it has been suggested that we
might be willing to cooperate with
his committee in conducting Colonel
Lowden's campaign. Rot! Nobody
recommended US to the Colonel. We
suggest that he might come to North
Dakota for few weeks and take les.
sons in conducting an up-to-date polit-
ical campaign. The Colonels methods
are forty years behind the times.

New Rockford still has hopes of
taking the capital away from Bis
marck and if the proposition ever goes
on the ballot she will likely do so.
Secretary of State Thos. Hall has been
enjoined from issuing separate bal
lots for the fall election. Should the
proposition carry in November, it will
still have to go before the legislature,
later to be voted upon by the people.

several years before the feat can be
accomplished. Bismarck is up in arms

will expire within year or two by
