Not all OF these things are advo-
Gated directly in every local program
presented. A year ago the activities
of the Non-partisan league managers
were devoted chiefly to the crystalli-
cation of sentiment in favor of a state
terminal elevator, with the promise or
suggestion that such things as mills
and packing plants were to be inves-
tigated with view to their adoption.
But the program has been expounded.
There is insistence now on those
things which We're merely suggested
a year ago. and in addition to this
the possibilities are broadened so that
istic program may be adopted at the
pleasure of the legislature: If the
proposed constitution should be adopt
ed, there would be nothing in it in
consistent with the state ownership
and operation of all the farms in
North Dakota, to he operated for the
public good. OF course it will be urg-
ed in this connection. as it has been
urged in connection with other mat
ters, that there is no danger of this,
that so long as the farmers are In
control Of the state government they
will not consent to such change.
Possibly this may be true. But who
knows? The permission is there. and
the adoption of that policy is one Of
the purposes of the general socialist
ic organization Of the country, whose
influence has been shown so striking
ly In connection with our present po-
litical situation.
The connection between the general
socialistic body and the league is in
dicated plainly in the methods employ
ed by the league leaders in making
their public appeals. League speakers
have been trained in the same manner
and in the same school with the pro-
fessional speakers on socialism. They
have been coached and drilled in the
presentation of the particular things,
and their presentation in the particu-
lar way most likely to be effective with
the audiences to be addressed. The
socialist speaker on the street corner,
''e l. W. w. asildtof HasSlilS his
crowd, and the League exhorter in
spring his following are so alike that
If shaken together the one could not
be distinguished from the other.
This is interesting as indicating a
close connection among those organi-
zations, and as pointing to the fact
that the farmers Of North Dakota
who are contributing to the success
of the league are in reality contribut-
ing to movement in perfect harmony
with that general socalistic move
ment of which it is a part.

tors and fat picking for lawyers. The
'Torrens'' system makes 1t as easy to
sell a town lot or a farm as to sell a
pair of boots, with no question or aft
ermath as to the validity of the title.
The removal of this incubus on trans
fer Of titles Will save thousands of dol
lars in needless fees. to say nothing
about expensive litigation that often
follows the present system of trans
ferring titles to real estate.
Minot News: For a time there has
been a crying against the farmers of
the country. 1t has been claimed that
they were gouging the public and fore
ing up prices of food commodities in
order to fatten financially on the bur-
6ens of the public. The report of the
New York committee diSproves this
contention and shows that it is the
costly method of distribution, and not
the excessive primary prices that is
.robbing the public. The cost of bread
and flour in the cities is out of all
proportions to the prices received for
wheat by North Dakota farmers, even
at the present time. Slowly, but GER
tainly, the fact is dawning on the pub
lie mind that the high cost Of living
is not on the farms which produces
the food of the nation.
The passing weeks do not wear out
the general dispute.

EMIT SUPREME COURT.

Not long since The Herald suggest
ed to the League leaders who are be-
ing harrassed by the obduracy of the
senate in its opposition to House Bill
A. that they might simplify matters
greatly by ruling the senate out of the
game altogether, and then, if there re-
manned any doubt as to the attitude
OF the supreme court. to eliminate
that body from the situation by rul-
ing to the effect that in a matter to
he decided by the people themselves
neither senate nor court had anything
to say. and that action by the house
alone would be quite sufficient
Action in accordance with this sug-
gestion seems to have been taken so
far as the supreme court is concerned
Mr.. Lemke. in his Hillshoro address
declared that while he was confident
that his former partner. Judge Robin
son. now seemed to want to be on
both sides Of this question, would be
found on the right side as soon as he
became aware of the condition Of pub
lie sentiment. the submission of the
new constitution was not legislation,
and the supreme court really had
nothing to do with it.
That disposes of the supreme court

Mr.. Divet did not like this actor

house must have misunderstood thu
question upon which it was voting.
On the second division the minor
ity lost. and on the roll call the prop
osition was voted down. G7 to 81.
At this point Chief Clerk Bower
walked to the rear of the chamber

more than justice that report Of the
discussions be taken for the protection
of all.
Mr.. Divet's motion was doomed
when Representative Peterson OF

the floor of the house. objected that
the stenographic report would be
needless expense and would result in
delays that were unnecessary.

Mr.. Divet realized this fully, and
defiantly argued:
"1f am run over by the steam
roller you will not find me flattened
at the proper time you will find me
out in front again ready to take an
other chance"
Caucus adherents accepted the chal-
lenge and promptly killed both mo-
tions to make the bill a special order

a record of the debate. The vote was

that the house return to an order OF

The house quickly voted 1t down

little more than ons-half voted. the
result being 33 to 81.

Impossible? Not at ALL This Is a
fair illustration of the manner ir
which Mr. Townley and his assistants
conducted themselves at the Hillsborc
meeting when, taking advantage of a
privilege courteously extended tc
them. they took bodily possession OF
the meeting and excluded from the
discussion until an unreasonable late
hour the local citizens for and in be-
half of whom the meeting had beer
called.
1t would require a more powerful,
imagination than most Of us have &c

HOUSE MEMBERS
ACT LIKE SHEEP
Motion Defeated Twice and
then Passed at Orders
of Townley.
lBy Tom Parker Junkinl

Bismarck, Jan. 23.--The secret eau
Gus steam roller was given it's first
tryout on the floor of the house this
afternoon and proved we'll construct
ed. properly oiled, and ready for the
work of crushing those who opposed
the Big Five revision of the constitu-
ton. known as House Bill "A.
Several of the representatives who
have formulated plans to fight the
bill to the last ditch dared the opera
tors of the steam roller to do their
worst. and they were promptly flat
tened out.
incidentally. the occasion was taken
advantage of by the opponents Of the
bill to test the fighting qualities OF the
cancus-sworn strength Of the league
members of the house.
Vote Like Sheep.
Preliminary skirmishes involved one
incident that was talked about with
considerable heat by the opposition
members after adjournment. 1t was
the readiness with which motion
made by one Of the dyed-in the wool
leaders went through after the same
motion had been twice turned down
and buried when made by two other
house members, and it passed only
after Chief Clerk Bowen had descend
ed from his rOstrum and conferred
with President A. c. Townley of the
league in the rear of the chamber
and had then gone directly to the
leader, who then made the motion
| successfully.
The vote on the motion, which was
| to return to an order of business that
had been passed earlier in the day
was defeated on the first trial by 81
nays and 45 ayes, and on the second
by SO nays and 80 ayes. The second
vote was taken after the house had
been engaged in warm discussion OF
house courtesy. and charges had been
made of attempts to delay the con-
sideration of House Bill A.
DIvet First Victim.
Representative Divet of Wahpeton
was the first honored victim OF the
roller. when he moved that the bill
be made special order for 8 o'clock

State Comment
What Were the Plans?

Kenmare Journal: In connection
with the controversy at Bismarck over
constitutional revision and the appar-
ent contention of Non-partisan league
leaders that the legislature should do
the work at this session without sub
mitting the matter to the people of
the state, 1t is interesting to note just
what the program Of the league was
with reference to this step.
The Withdrawal of Troops.
Minot News: The information from
the Mexican border is that the inpro-
vised army which has been kept there
for the purpose of guarding the bor-
der from raids Of Mexican OUTLAY ws,
posing as armies and leaders of ar
mics, will be withdrawn within a few
days and the conditions which existed
when Villa crossed the border and
raided Columbus will be sestored. Con-
ditions along the border are no better

Of trumpets by the administration. the
