THE PEOPLES FORUM


With Sucn headings IN our neWSpa-
pers as Guns Out for Our Sunday
Laws" and oldest Judge Doesn't like
Blue Laws" referring to the Sunday
Laws) with the articles under the
headings giving out to the public that
the laws are without reason, and
threatening to attempt to have them
repealed, it is time for those in the
state who believe in and want one
day free from traffic and ordinary
workaday things to speak up and de-
fend their law and their positions.
The article Of the Sunday law that
seems to be the offender just now is
as follows: Section 9240 of Chapter
w of Compiled Statutes of North Da-
kota: Public traffic prohibited: All
manner of public selling, or Offering
Or exposing for sale publicly, of any
commodities upon the first day of the
week, is prohibited, except that meats,
milk and fish may be sold at any time
before nine o'clock in the morning,
and except that food may be sold to
be eaten upon the premises where sold,
and drugs and medicines and surgical
appliances may be sold at any time of
the day"
Not so stringent after all-Ir fact, it
allow us to purchase some things that
we do not need to buy on Sunday.
Why should some stores be closed,
and. soft drinks and newspaper stands
allowed to be open, and pool rooms
run profitable business" on Sunday?
If one class sees fit to organize to
work for the repeal of our law, there is
very large group who should stand
together for the keeping of the law on
our statutes, and uphold every officer
from the attorney general down, who
does his best to enforce it.
Taking the question of Sunday clos
ing entirely out OF religious consider
alton, it has been proved by science
that man and beast need one day in
seven for the recuperation of the ply
steal nature, that they may be their
best in any task. To keep on without
any day of rest means constant low
ering of vitality and ultimate short
ening of life. In the religious world
we all know that without the Sunday
thought and reading the mind and
soul become hardened and sordid and
less capable of responding to the best
in us.
We hope that all who are interested
in preserving the Lords Day as a day
set apart for the good of mankind will
be alive and alert, and that our legis
lators will be very thoughtful and
true to their best selves.

The bill of Senator Martin to provide
for a commission legislature is what
we believe to be the best bill that will
come before the present legislature.
The logical sense of paying nine men,
representatives from nine districts of
the state, instead of the expense of BIZ
ennial sessions, is obvious from every
angle. It would be representative
body, in continual session, and would
not be subject to the lobbying and rush
Of short session. If North Dakota
is to be progressive state, leader
in progressive legislation, and all that
has been predicted in the way of re-
form, why not adopt the commission
form of law making? 1t is frequently
stated that the eyes Of the other
states are on North Dakota. Let them
see a sister state with a law-making
body as superior to the present form
as gold is to gumbo.

GOOD ADVICE

GOOD ADVICE
You cannot escape him
By shutting the door
Or locking the window
The good advice bore.
You cannot elude him
By scaling a peak,
And he'll-submarining
Stay with you week.
You cannot deny him;
For do what you will,
Like the scent of the rose, he
Will cling to you still.
Yet he has no power
You haven't, you know;
He can't do what you can't;
But since it is so
That you can't escape him
There's nothing to do
But try to put up with
That fellow named YOU.

MAKING HUNDRED DOLLAR LAND

How the earning power as we'll as
the actual market value of North Da-
kota land has been advanced more
than 500 per acre without the aid OF
the Spectator or the professional
boomer is set forth by features OF the
development of the potato industry IN
the vicinity of Hoople, in western
Walsh county.
The raising of potatoes on a large
scale was undertaken in the Hoople
neighborhood only a few years ago.
One of the first steps was the build
ing of a large local warehouse, and
since that was done each year has
marked a great advance in the growth
of the industry. The land in that sec
ton is good prairie loan, just such
land as is to be found throughout the
greater part of the state, and such as
is ordinarily held at prices seldom rls-
ing above $40 an acre. Yet, as the d.
rect result, farmers in that section
have this year been offered and refus-
ed 500 an acre for their farms
The letter to which reference has
been made gives some figures on the
cost Of the potato crop and the re-
turns from it. When a very liberal
estimate is made for every item of
cost, including interest on investment
in land and machinery, depreciation,
labor and cost of seed, the cost of rails
ing an acre of potatoes is less than
$50. Where the crop has been prop
erly handled 125 bushels per acre is
very small yield. This year, which
has not been good potato year, many
fields are yielding twice that amount.
If the average price be placed at IS
cents and the average yield at 125
bushels, the crop from an acre will
sell for $43.75 This is profit of
$13.75 per acre on the crop directly,
without allowance for the very bene-
fetal effect that the crop has on the
land. This year at present prices this
profit reaches $63.75, and while the
present price is high, the crop is un'
usually short. 1t will be seen, there
fore, that when men are offered and
refuse 500 per acre for their western
Walsh county farms, their action is
not based on sentiment, but on very
practical realization of the actual earn
ing capacity of their property.
