Municipal and state financing has
been handicapped just as much as
corporate financing by conditions at
tending our entry into the war. The
only notable hotation in April was
the issue of S25,OOO,0OO New York
State bonds, successfully placed on
a basis to yield slightly more than
3% per cent. Aside from that loan,
all municipal issues put forth dur
ing the month totalled less than
s3O,OOO,OOO, about a third as much
as in April, 1916, and most munich
palities which bid for capital had to
paw a much sitter rate than they
did a month or two before. A factor
of no little Importance was the fear
that Congress might remove the OK
emption from taxation of state and
municipal bonds. Authorities are
now convinced, however, that Con-
gress lacks the power to do this.

THE LESSON OF THE NON-PARTI.
SAN LEAGUE OF NORTH
DAKOTA

The Non Partisan League of North
Dakota has attracted nation wide at
tention by its notable achievement in
securing control OF the political ma
chinery of that state and in routing
both the old political organizations
in the recent campaign. While the
League elected an overwhelming ma
jority of its candidates for the legis-
lature, there were enough holdoyer
m embers of the senate to block its
legislative program. 1t has not
been in existence long enough to
demonstrate the wisdom of its pol
icies or the permanency of its
foundation, but it has already taught
very valuable lesson-the potential
power of the farmers, as a factor in
politics, when they work together for
the same thing, instead of against
each other for different things.
The farmers, as class, have been
very strong and very narrow in their
political prejudices. They have been
loath to scratch their party tickets
except for county officers or for can
.didates with whom they have per-
sonal acquaintance. They have been
conservative about abandoning the
political faith of their fathers and
grandfathers. They have been sus-
picious of each other and of any
movement aimed to break down
party lines.
AS a result of this failure to work
together for their own interests, the
farmers have not exercised nearly as
much political influence as is justi-
fled by their voting strength. Manu-
facturers, bankers and laborers have
been able to secure far more favor
able legislation than the farmers,
simply because they have voted SOL
idly together to protect and advance
their own interests, while the farm
ers have divided on party lines.
Politicians have paid little attention
to the demands of farmers because
they did not believe that the tillers
of the soil had the capacity for or
ganizing and voting together This
theory has been exploded by the rec
ord of the farmers of North Dakota.
They proved that they could form,
finance. manage and stick TO their
own political organization. What
they have dcne, the farmers in other
,tates can do, and when they realize
and decide TO use their voting power
there will be thorough and much
needed political house cleaning in a
number of commonwealth, includ-
ing Washington.
