A SINISTER MOVEMENT

For some tinle past a great deal Ot
publicity has been given to con-
yention TO be convened in few days
in st. Paul, which is being promoted
nv what is called the National Non
Partisan League. 1t is, we believe a
movement that is likely TO create as
much unrest as contemplated by the
Peoples Council for Peace. which is
little better than seditious offshoot
of the !. W. w. Back Of this alleged
Non-Partisan League stands the grim
figure OF radical Socialism. which has
tnveizled the farmers of the West into
its pacitist coils. 1t Is somewhat
significant that at time when bust
ness men by the hundred are giving
their services to the government. and
when manufacturers are accepting
from the government prices far below
the market, the farmers comblna-
lions are making every effort to get
the last possible cent out Of the gov
eminent and the consumers.
The North Dakota farmers are CON-
planning Of the government price OF
wheat, and it is expected that the
Non-Partisan League convention will
demand an Increase to So or over.
merely because the speculation which
the farmers are the hottest to de.
nounce drove prices up to that level
for few hours. But these same
farmers, who are demanding the high
est possible speculative price for
. their product. are demanding that
other peoples products shall be sold
to them at forced low prices. They
rant the government to seize the rail-
,ads and haul Their products for
minal consideration. They demand

Led BY man whose speeches indi-
cate him to be a Socialist, and a rank

he dares 10 the line OF treason, the
North Dakota farmers have over
thrown both the political parties and
taken possession of their State gov
eminent and formulated a demand
that the State operate the railroads
and build warehouses for their bene-
fit, and borrow money for their use.
And 1t was this same element that
demanded that the revenue tax bill
should be made more evidently class
legislation than it was by imposing
another couple Of billions on the in,
comes and excess profits. But, OF
course. it was clearly intimated that
none of this should come from the
enormous war profits in wheat In
connection with this matter It is
interesting to consider what a recent
Chicago dispatch says: The farmers

little wheat will be marketed until

hold commodities off the market in
order to get higher price.
