BILL TO OPEN POTASH DEPOSITS
Senator Pitman of Nevada, Introduces
Measure in Congress of Much Interest

Senator Pitman of Nevada, Introduces
Measure in Congress of Much Interest
Senator Pittman of Nevada has
asked the Senate to pass bill provid-
ing &. method for using a large de-
posit of potash in the United States
and for increasing the production of
potash 1t is an important measure.
Doubt has existed whether the potash
deposit at Searles Lake, California,
can be acquired under the present
mining law, and Mr.. Pittman pro-
poses TO clear up the doubts. Potash
is required in making certain kinds
of powder and for fertilizers. Farm
ers say that the present fertilizers
contain little potash because the man.
ufacturers cannot get it. Our main
reliance for potash has been upon
Germany. The Importance Of potash
as fertilizer 10 demonstrated when il
is recalled that an experiment in In.
diana proved that the yield of corr

double that per acre where this ferti
lizer is not employed. Experiment

Community markets are now being
advocated as a means of bringing
farmers and consumer together and
cheapening the cost of living, says
the New York World. No doubt true,
says the Wilmington Every Every,
but at times the farmer is not inclined
to cooperate in any movement for re-
ducing the high cost of living, as is
evidenced in some street markets
where the farmer comes into direct
contact with the purchaser, without
the intermediation of the middle man.
Yet the farmer insists upon charging
the highest prices. But not all Della
ware farmers can come to the priv
ileged and profitable street markets.
They have to depend upon intermedi-
ate agencies to sell their products. To
these farmers. the parcels post service
should commend itself. Through il
they might get profitable city pa
tronage. They could advertise their
special offerings. as farmers in Eng.
land, before the war, were advertis.
ing their special offerings by parcel,
post in the London papers. And tn,
results would no doubt be profitable t,
both farmers and consumers.

saws about him:


A senator from Grand Forks c0un-
ty, who was endorsed by the league,
has fled to the camp of the enemy, it
is reported. In discussing his case
yesterday, prominent Lacquer said,
How man who owes his political-all
to an organization, who has been pick
ed up out of the wheat field and placed
in a position of honor, can then turn
and bite the hand that placed him
there is more than ! can understand.
There is more honor than that among
thieves. anarchists and nihilists.'"
And there is the crux of the whole
matter. These senators and repre-
scntatlvcs are supposed to be the tools
of the league rather than the repre-
sentatives of the people of North Da-
kota The League saw to it that the
men elected, so far as possible, would
have received no such political recog-
milton without their support so that
they in turn would feel sufficiently I'M
der obligations to the league bosses to
allow them to put over stuff that did
not sit we'll on their stomachs.
No wonder they attempted to keep
former members of the Legislature
from being nominated at their league
|convcntions, as in the case of Sidney
Smith. No They wanted to make
these men what they are so that they
could demand from them what they
want,

We have always believed firmly in
the principle of the freedom of the
press. In no better way can the in
tcrests of the public be safeguarded
than through publicity. However,
We do not believe that irresponsible
anarchists should be allowed to write
incendiary articles tending to iucite
those who read them to violence.
An excellent example of the anarch-
istic writer is the article OF O. NJ.
Thomson. in the Devils Lake Journal
Thomson has about aS much interest
in the state of North Dakota as Zulu
belle, and has subssted until but re-
Gently by writing Crafty" articles
for the Non-P Partisan Leader.
Thomson goes on to call attention.

part: III North Dakota witnesses a
still greater uprising than that which
has just swept over her fair prairies,
no one will be to blame but the stand
patters If we have anarchy enacted
on the public stage of North Dakota,
no one will be to blame but the stand
patters Ii North Dakota is stood
on end and then reversed and stood
on the other end no one will be TO
blame but the stand-pattcrs .
But few newspaper men in the state
OF North Dakota would ALLOW such a
bird of prey the use of the columns Of
their newspapers for such rot Bloom,
Of the journal, is Of course little bit
different. His pet hobby is to villify
and bcratc public men and then ret
down on his marrow bones and humbly
beg to be forgiven when the other per-
son is able to hold up some Of Blooms
money-making adventures.
And, when our farmers awake to the
fact that their pet league is permeated
and fostered by such carrion as Thorn
ason who would gladly battle the fai,
prairies of our fair state in blood that
he might be in on the loot. perhaps
it will again be possible TO get at the

If ;he house of Representatives sue
cecd in stopping this possible looting
of n state, they will have done well.
In the present embarrassing position
OF the greater number of its members,
this is much to expect. And, should
it fall to the lot of the senate to cX-
ccutc this House Bill No. Al, those
members Of that senate who are will
ing to possibly sacrifice themselves
and their political future by voting it
down, should be granted high place
among the great men of the state. No
man going into battle to fight for his
country could be entitled to greater
credit than these. Though they might
never be given the credit which would
be their just due, they would he heroes

We believe that House bill Id, with
its proposed changes, if adopted, will
make it possible to greatly increase
the public debt, that it will allow the
great school fund of this state to be
diverted from its course and made the
vehicle upon which to experiment at
length in commercial enterprises of Il
public nature, with all its usual wealth
of greed and corruption. History
teaches u that graft and manipulation
follow popular government, and that
the greater trust placed in the hands
of Il few mon, the more danger of such
crimes

II is said in explanation that the word

Very well. Isn't it possible that in fu-

CATION?
For years it has been the principle
of government that u state constitu-

should be stable, that only long and
sustained public opinion should make
possible alterations The sooner the
people quit believing that all other
officials have been politicians" and
that the present Lawmakers are not
politicians" the sooner these dangers
will be overcome

The editor Of the Record took occa-

new constitution when it was given its
first reading in the house. The actu-
al changes are comparatively few, but
three of those changes are absolutely
revolutionary in character. The most

adopted, the new constitution would
provide for amendments at any gen

being the anchor of the state by which

pliable and easier to alter than even
