The equity movement is not
new idea, but has been gaining
favor and has been advancing it's
scope in this state materially dur
ing the past six years. One of
the most successful unions yet
started in this vicinity is the Que
in the neighboring city Of Glen
ham. Several new equities have
recently been started along the
branch lines, principally at Timber
Lake, Eagle Butte, Dupree and
Trail City.
The dominent feature of this
movement is the fact that the
profits are shared on the pro rata
patronage plan. and not on the
stock plan. All members partic-
ipate in the dividends not accord
ing to the capital thew have
invested, but on the basis Of the
business they do during the year
with their local union. Thus,
even though q man may have
considerable invested in stock in
an equity union and does no
business with that union, he does
not participate in the patronage
dividends. while other members
draw dividends pro rata with the
business they may have no invest
ment in the concern beyond their
limited shares of patronage divi-
dend participating stock.
1t is the plan of the Commercial
club and business men of Mobridge
to make this one of the biggest
conventions of it's kind ever held
in the state.

Bonds Much too Small

Petitions were circulate dta the polls
Tuesday for bond issue of $4,000
for the erection of a new school house
on the east side to replace the build
ing burned last winter and the peti.
tions were literally signed.
However, it is safe to say that at
least three fourths of the signers ano
those asked to sign, declared that the
amount asked was insufficient and that
it should be at least $4,000. Many of
those asked to sign refused on the
grounds that the amount was too low
and members of the school board were
approached with a paper with the sug-
gestion that the amount be raised to at
least $4,000.
