DISASTER BECAUSE
OF POOR MANAGEMENT

CHARLES "A. Lyman, organizer for the
National Agricultural Organization So
ciety, which is trying to correct some
of the evils connected with coop.
Grafton, said recently before a legis-
lative committee at Madison:
During the last two or three years
farmers in this state have subscribed
and paid for about $1,50O,OO0 worth IF
stock in cooperative packing plants
In addition to this another 100000 CO.
operative enterprise is being promoted
When all the stock has been sold the,
cost of promotion out of the farmers
pockets will amount to in the neigh
borhood of 100000. In addition to this
| believe it can be shown that be-
cause of the ease with which stock
of this sort can be sold with the aid
Of professional statesmen there has
been a loss of at least 100000 in the
La Crosse packing plant"
There has been bill before the Wis
consin legislature to limit to
per- cent the amount that can be
charged for promotion expenses The
hackers Of the big enterprises say It
would prevent any cooperative enter
prises being organized on large scale.
The N. A. Q. S. men say the big en-
terprises ought not to be organized
if the organizers are not interested
enough to do their organization work
at small expense, like the creameries
do.

buy the private packing plant. Boyd,
Chryst and others incorporated the
Farmers Cooperative Packing COM
pany, capitalized at S250,000, and Sc
cured the services of a professional
Chicago promoter, F. A. S. Price, to
sell stock to farmers on a Is perscent
commission.
About this time ugly rumors began
to get out among the farmers that
the plant was not worth the $122,000
demanded by Boyd. But there appear
ed in La Crosse a man named r. A.
Hall, who claimed to be a competent
appraiser of packing plants. They put
Hall in as an appraiser and investi-
gator He returned a report showing
that the plant was worth $140,000 in
stead of $122,O00 demanded by Boyd.
SO the board of directors agreed to
accept Boyd's offer without further
question.
When the actual sale of stock began,
Hall, the. expert blossom
ed out as q stock salesman; so did
President Chryst, receiving commits
sions for his work. The stock finally
was all sold, most of it to farmers.
In all 2126 different persons purchased
shares.

Another Farmer Protest
Governor is Asked to Remove the North Dakota
State Board of Regents

Of untold value to the people of the
state.
"Now therefore be it resolved that we
join the Forde Farmers club of Nelson
county in an appeal to every citizen in
the state to use all honorable means to
retain these men on the faculty of the
Agricultural college, and further urge
Governor Lynn ]. Frazier to use all
means in his power to have removed
from the board of regents the men who
are responsible for the effort to oust
DR.. Ladd and his associates. We also
approve of the idea of a state wide
mass meeting to lodge protest against
the proposed action of the board of
regents and declare ourselves willing
to send representative to such
meeting from the Three Springs Farm
ers clubs, Dunn county, North Dakota.

PROMOTERS EXPENSE
is EAVY BURDEN

Promoters got altogether $37,S14.53
of the stockholders money But this
was not the worst. After the plant
had been taken over and was being
run by the new company it developed
Immediately that repairs were urgently
needed to make the plant usable. So
$11,314 was used for this purpose.
There is still worse to come. The
first years report showed loss for
the year of $4,000 of which $4,000
was for meat allowed to spoil in the
cooling house and $4,000 was for gen.
eral losses in running expenses.
When the stockholders got this state
ment there was a big roar and an inn
mediate shakeup. Boyd retired as
manager and Chryst as president. The
directors put in a new manager, D. Fl.
Baker, a former employe of the plant
and stockholder in the company He
started in again with no capital in an
effort to build up the looted enterprise.
Baker did his best. He operated for
a year with a net loss of only $4,000,
as compared with $4,000 under the
previous management, and, then he
took the directors and stockholders
into his confidence and told them the
them a wornout plant, burdened with
the additional charge Of promoters
profits, which could not be operated in
any way except to produce further
loss. SO they locked the doors on the
La Crosse cooperative packing plant,
and the doors are still locked. They
can't even get rid of the property that
is left, because there are so many
stockholders scattered over such
large territory that they can't get
quorum together. If you meet a stock
holder in the late La Crosse packing
plant today he will tell you:
"I know there is money in co-opera-
tive packing plants; there is $250,OOO
of our money there. But we don't
ever expect to get it out"
Since the La Crosse packing plant
was started, four other cooperative
companies were organized in Wisconsin.
three Of these at Wausau, Madison and
New Richmond are now in operation

HURT JERRYs FEELINGS

The Socialist mayor Of Minneapolis
has been abused by North Dakota
publication the, Grand Forks Herald)
for saying that ."Not all the Huns are
in Europe there are some in
the United States. Assistant Secretary
Carl Vrooman seems to indicate the
truth of this statement of Van Lear's
in an interview in which vrooman de-
nounces in unmeasured terms the sor-
did, money grabbing efforts of certain
big munition manufacturers to hold up
the government and extract the last
penny of exorbitant profits in the mat
ter of government contracts. Van Lear
may not be SO far out of the path of
truthful statement as we have been led
to believe. - JAMESTOWN IN. d.

LEAGUE AND ITS ENEMIES

While Jerry Bacons Grand Forks

Tribune are bowling their heads off "
ing about the Nonpartisan league it's
good thing to remember that, League
or no League, what these papers want
the people do not want You can't go
wrong if you do politically exactly
what these papers do not want you to
do. The League, however, is here to
stay and is making no mistakes that
you can notice unless it is a mistake
to engineer the course of events in
such a way that the people shall be
legislated for instead Of against and
that Big Business" built up by special
privileges and class legislation shall be
put out of business and made to work
