The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1916-10-19

Il expect the 1917 legislature
to pass for the first time a bill
for the submission to the PEG
pie of a constitutional amend
ment providing for state-owned
flour mills, packing and cold
storage plants. These have to
be passed a second time by the
1919 legislature before they can
be submitted to popular vote.
Don't misunderstood me.
These progressive planks in our
program will not be handled
hurriedly. Many eyes will be
watching everything we do and
we must move cautiously, care
fully and with the aid of the
best legal advice. One by one
these things will. be taken up,
considered seriously a n d
thoughtfully. But they will
all became facts within a few
years, for l have no idea that
the farmers of this state will
again give to the machine poll
'ticians and outside business in
terests the reins of government
in North Dakota.
Personally / favor granting
suffrage to women in North
Dakota. It is not on the league
program, but / believe it will
be put up to the people and L
think they will vote favorably
on it. | am for woman suffr-
age and | hope we soon get it,"
Are the members of the old
republican organization sup
porting your l asked Mr.. Fra
zier.
Some of them say they are"
he replied, but | do not need
their held, l have told some Of
the old guard that we can get
along better without them than
with them"
How about the democrats
on the Nonpartisan league
ticket?' was the next question.
Well, there's Casey, our
candidate for state treasurer
Mr.. Frazier said. He's a
democrat; has always been, /
suppose, and doesn't belong to
the league, but the Nonparti.
san league convention picked
him, and | shall not only vote
for him, but shall support him
in every way l know how.
An old party label doesn't
figure much with us. | am for
every candidate the farmers Sc
lected and that includes a lot of
democrats and socialists who
are candidates for the legisla-
ture.
For years we farmers used
to work together 1854 days in a
year and then work against
each other on the other-elec-
ton day. They used to divide
US into parties and thus split
our strength. Itisn't that way
ia North Dakota now and /
don't think it will ever be so
again.
One of the things we will
do next winter will be to chan
Sc the primary law, wiping out
party labels and allowing the
voters to pick two men for each
office, these to be voted on cleo
ton day
When Mr.. Frazier talks he
irnpresses his nearer with the
tact that he means every word
he says. He doesn't use a lot

lived most of his life next to
the soil, and as a farmer he is
the peer of any in the state.
His farm shows it,
What will You do when you
and the Nonpartisan legisla-
ture get into working order?"
l asked North Dakota's next
governor.
We shall do our best to en-
act such legislation as is ia vor-
ed by the farmers who are
members of the Farmers Non
partisan League" he rep lied.
That means that we will
put to the people for a vote a
constitutional amendment pro-
.viding for a system of state
owned terminal elevators. Then
the farmers won't be at the
mercy of Of the grade ixer and
doctors of the trust elevators in
Minnesota markets.
Twice the people by over
whelming majorities have ask
ed the legislature to let us
vote on such a constitutional
amendment and twice they
turned us down, telling us to
go home and slop the pigs
After the amendment is
passed on ~favorably by the peo-
pie, and of that there is no
doubt, the state will probably
bond itself to build the termin-
ais. just where the first termi-
nal will be built is a question
for the people to decide. Some
want it built here in the state;
others in st. Paul or some other
Minnesota grain marketing
point.
Another thing that we will
do is to demand our hail insur-
ance law. As it stands now it
is practically useless to the
farmer and was designed 80 it
would fail. l believe that all
the agricultural lands in the
state should be assessed from
losses due to hail. This loss in
North Dakota is otter large,
but the Insurance companies
carry out of the state enormous
amounts in premiums, much
more than they pay in losses.
We would enact fair grain
grading and inspection laws.
In our program is a state rural
credits idea. It would go farth-
er than the federal farm loan
law, in that it would help the
landless farmer, and the farm
er who needs more to move or
store his crop short term loans
for which he now pays exces
sive interest rates.
Another part of the pro-
gram has to do with the taxes
the farmer pays. We will, if
kept in Office long enough,
change the tax law so as to ex-
empt all improvements on
agricultural land. In other
words Me will stop ininq a
for building a nice
home for his family, q substan-
tial barn, a silo or q fence.
Thaf will hit all ~

Home Club, With $50 Check,
the First U. S. Organization,
to Give to Christmas Fund

The first of the organizations of gov
ernment employees to contribute to the
National Guard Christmas Fund was
the Home Club of the Interior Depart
ment. This organization today sent to
The Star check for $50 from the
Home Club funds. The check was sent
by Secretary Franklin K. Lane of the
Interior Department, who is president
Of the club.
This organization has done much re-
lief work for the guardsmen of the
District on the border. particularly
those members of the guard who up
until the time Of the Presidents call
were employees of this department, and
is always ready to contribute to causes
such as the present one.
1t was at first planned to give an
entertainment for the benefit of the
Christmas fund. but at a meeting of
the board of governors of the club,
headed by Van H Manning, director
Of the bureau of mines, and the enter
tainment committee, headed by c. j.
Blanchard of the reclamation service.
it was decided that it would be better
to contribute a sum from the clubs
funds. as the nearness of the Christ
mas holidays, when every one seems
busy at home. might make it difficult
to make arrangements for such an en-
tertainment.

expended balance should be sent to the
members of the District National Guard
to show them that their friends at home
have them in mind.

in the fund being raised by The Star
to give the guardsmen a Christmas.
He talked with a number of the chapel
chairmen there. and later obtained the
permission of Cornelius Ford. the pub
lie printer. to make a dime collection
throughout the building.
While plans were being made to make
this collection it was reported that the
unexpended balance of the home-com-'
ing fund was available. and it was de-
cided to contribute that amount to the
