The indications are now that this

insure honesty and safety in dealings

While officials believe elimination OF

WHAT is WRONG WITH IT?

Prof Iadd has made the statement, based on actual tests at the agrcul-
tural college, that the farmers Of North Dakota were robbed of approximately
$55O000OO o n their 1915 wheat crop by under grading. This statement has
stood unchaenged O for several months. If the charge of Prof. Ladd
was rroneous sin the least particular, there is every reason to believe that
it would have been called to the attention of the public long ago.
But it isl not. Mr. Ladd has the absolute evidence to prove his every claim.
The saving Of this enormou u to the farmers of the state is the fun
damental plank in the program of the Nonpartsan League. A plan has been
evolved that appears quite workable and logical.
Admitting that something must be done to stop this tremendous drain
n North Dakotas resources, it is significant that the opponents of the
league have no solution to offer. They merely oppose, without offering any
remedy that might be accepted in preference to the worked out by the
league.
Thomas Parker Junkin, political writer for the Grand Forks Herald, in a
recent speech at Belmont, North Dakota, made the charge that the plan of
the league was not a good one and then made the startling admission that he
didn't know Of anything else to suggest, that would improve conditions.
1t would seem that every citizen of the state would be sufficiently inter-
ested in the welfare of her people to lend some efforts toward stopping this
legaized robbery, whether he be a farmer n not.
they have done nothing to improve conditions and HAVE NOT EVEN SUG-
GESTED A REMEDY.
Tn only apparent objection to the league plan is that it is sociaistc, be-
cause it HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE.
Every great reform in u economic system has been sociaistc for the
same reason.
The world today would have n o steam railroads. n o electricity, no tae-
phones, aeroplanes or automobiles if the inventor had been squeched be-
cause at had never been done before"
If the program of the Nonpartisan League should prove unavoidable it
will be O account of the opposition and antagonism of those who sit back
and protest, because there is n "precedent' to warrant such procedure.
With unanimity, harmony and cooperation the plan WILL succeed with
out a doubt.
Is it worth while, or shall we sit idly by waiting for the intervention of
providence or until the grain robbers feel that they have looted enough and
voluntarily retire from this fertile field of exploitation?
tits worthy of serious consideration.

not supposed to be particularly strong
on infantry formations, but the men of
Battery A are well drilled They were
applauded time after time when, after
going thru some difficult drill they
lined up in perfect alignment and
saluted.
The drill on the track was prelimi-

Shot after shot was fired until the

SPLIT UP CONVENTION?
Division of State Teachers Association
to Be Considered Saturday.

Division of the state teachers asso-
citation into four units will be de-
termined at a meeting in the state
house Saturday by members of the
board of directors of the state asso-
citation. Should the board vote to
divide the organization, Topeka will
lose the big state convention and will
probably win one of the four district
meetings.
Plans for division of the state or
ganization is one of the schemes in the
program to lift the state teachers
convention from Topeka, according to
reports. For several years opposition
towns have been unable to win suf-
ficient support when their plan was
submitted on the floor of the conven-
ton Now, working thru the asso-
citation board, plan will be urged
for a division. Approval of the plan
would require endorsement by the
mendation} would doubtless go a long
distance in determining the future
welfare of the association.
Members of the board of directors
who will come to Topeka to discuss
the state convention program are:
w. d. Ross. state superintendent,
chairman; NJ. E. Moore, Leavenworth /;

BIG HOWL COMING
State Will Allow No Rebate on
Old Textbooks.
Teachers Predict Parents Will
Show Their Indignation.

State printing of textbooks received
severe slap this morning at the pub
lie school office when the teachers
learned that no rebate would be given
for old textbooks used in the schools
last year and thrown out for new ones
this term.
THE state printing of school books
is a rank failure and is an injustice
to the citiZe ms of the state" one of the
teachers declared. "Howls and hoWlS
and more bowls will be heard from
the parents of the school children as
soon as they are forced to throw away
their old books and pay full price
for the new texts, recommended by
the states textbook commission" this
same teacher declared.
Prior to the esta blishment of the
state printing of textbooks, outside
publishers allowed from IS to so per
rebate was used as a contract getter
and thousands of dollars were saved
each year. This year the parents of
the state will be held up for the en-
tire price of the new books
The howl will come from every
community of the state, it was predict
ed this morning. TopekanS will be
among the first. too, the teachers de-
clare. There is no solution for the
problem, either, according to the
group of teachers, and the parents
will haze to stand up and take the
medicine prescribed by the legislature
to keep Kansas money at home"
