secured by following the experience of
older civilizations, such as already ex-
ist in Europe. Of all of the various
systems used there the system of
Germany seems to be the best adapted
for use in North Dakota.
1t consists Of a system of farm loan
banks that sell bond against the
mortgage so that the investor in real
ity buys a demand deposit drawing
per cent annual interest, and is glad
to get it. The farmer gives a mort
gage drawing 6 per cent for any
length of time to suit his convenience,
from ten to fifty years, and the most
beautiful part if it is that the loan is
gradually retired by the payment of
l per cent or more every year so that
the interest the farmer now pays is
sufficient to pay the interest and prin-
cipal both.
To accomplish this wonder change
1t is only necessary to write into the
statute books a few new laws, chang
ing our abstract system to the Tor
rens system of titles, so that the titles
of the various farms and city real es-
state would all be equal and all abso-
lutely good. 1t would be necessary to
create system of farm loan banks,
so that the existing banks could or
ganize among their own stockholders
or cutomers; it would also be we'll to
form cooperative society to be al
lowed to do exactly the same kind of
business under the same kind of reg
ulation, exactly as it is done in Ger
many. Then a farmers elevator COM
rany or any other kind of an existing
organization could arrange to run a
rural credit farm loan bank in con-
nection with the regular business.
This plan is no Populistic or So
cialist dream. 1t does not require the
substituting of the farmer by our state
or nation in the least degree. The

Many people have thought that the
problem of the North Dakota farmer
was the fact that the country was no
good. Recent developments have
proved that this is not true; the truth
is that right methods of farming
properly financed can and is winning
and making the farmers rich in North
Dakota. Many other people have
thought that the farmer was not get
ting all that was coming to him when
he sold his grain; efforts to remedy
this have only proven that after all
the only way to get better prices for
grain is to lessen the cost of trans
porting the grain to the worlds mar
ket in western Europe. To devise a
method to beat the grain merchants
at their own game of merchandising
grain, has proven that the farmer,
properly financed has the problem
all in his own hands, by building stor-
age and cleaning facilities right at
home on his own farm.
When driven to it's last defense
every problem resolves itself into one
of finance If the farmer has suffic-
lent capltai, cheap enough and Tor ad-
equate time, all problems of storing,
cleaning and selling grain disappear:
also all problems of stock raising and
proper rotation of crops become mere
incidentals Of the business 1t is not
true that the farmer does not know
enough to run his business properly,
but it is true that he cannot because
he cannot secure capital cheap enough
to do so. In other words, he is not
properly financed.
The solution of this problem can be

Political Cards
Stir Up Comment
On Eve Of Election

A small card bearing two streaming
American flags at the top of a list Of
republican candidates for office which
was circulated about the city this morn
ing has stirred up more comment than
any campaign literature which has yet
been produced. A peculiar circumstance
in the matter is that all of the candi-
dates interviewed today whose names
appear on the card deny any knowledge
of the party who issued the card and
state that their consent was not secured
before publishing the list.
A hand bill which was circulated
ahead of the card attempts to raise a
religious issue and cause the candidates
to declare themselves before election.
The card bears the name ''Fred Ross,
254 S Cottage, Salem, Ore" The Fred
Ross who lives at this address is en-
ployed as car Inspector on the Oregon
Electric but when seen today he re-
fused TO divulge the names Of any
others who were interested in the affair
or to say who, or what organization,
was back of it,

PRINKuNG RATES
FOR SALEM REDUCED
FOR SUMMER MONTHS
Public Service Commission
Issues New Order Apply
ing to Meters Only

The public service commission today
issued an order reducing the rates for
sprinkling lawns and general irriga-
tion purposes in Salem during the
months from May to September inclus-
i've. By the new schedule for water de-
livered through meters of any size the
consumer pays 40 cents per hundred
cubic feet for the first 29O cubic feet,
25 cents per 100 cubic feet for the
next 800 cubic feet and l-2 cents per
100 cubic feet for all over 500 cubic
feet.
BY the schedule which was adopted
by the former order of the commission
the rate of 1-2 cents per 100 cubic
feet was not allowed except on an
amount in excess of 10000 cubic feet
The order Of the commission says in
regard to the reduction of the rates for
sprinkling:
1t has developed That the regular
schedule of rates fixed in 19l4.is uR-
duly burdensOme upon consumers VINO
use the company's service for sprink-
ling purposes, and has resulted in many
instances in the discontinuance or cur
tailment of such use.
A study Of the sprinkling problem
under meter rates, both in the district
served by this utility, and elsewhere,
has convinced this commission that it
must be met by special or commodity
rates. The very nature of the use is
such that rates, reasonable for general
domestic and industrial purposes, in
most instances becomes pronibitive
when applied to sprinkling service. AS
q general proposition this use results
in a benefit to the public generally,
and may be considered in the nature
of semi-public use.
Since this feature has bearing upon
the rate, its application may properly
be restricted to the period when, by
reason of climatic conditions, this use
will result in a benefit to the public.
Numerous complaints having come
to the commission regarding the un-
justness of the above meter rates for
sprinkling purposes, the matter was
presented to the company in the above
light, and suggestion was made that
during the sprinkling season consump-
tion for such purposes in excess of 500
cubic feet in any month should not
bear a rate in excess of 12 cents
per 100 cubic feet The company has
agreed to the issuance of an order by
the commission embodying such a re-
without further proceed
ings herein.
