i RED { CROSS $65

After securing judgment for dam
ages amounting to $500, Charles Whit
mer, business man and farmer at Yuc-
ca. donated $65 of the amount to the
Red Cross society.
A hearing was held before Judge
Pennett at Center at which time Vic
tor Koch was arraigned to answer to
a complaint brought against him Ivy
Mr.. Whitmer for cutting trees on his
land. Many witnesses were examined
and after the evidence was given
Judge Bennett assessed Koch $500
damages and-cost Of the. action.
Mr.. Whitmer, who is thorough pa
riot, decided that the best place to
put the money, now that the damages
was already done to his timber land
and money would not replace the
trees, was in the Red Cross. =

If the fight against Townleyism is left to those
who deny that the farmers have grievances and
that the farmers have right to organize to re-
dress them and whose only tactics are abuse of
the organization and POLITICAL agitation to defeat
it, not only will these manifest evils go incurred,
but inevitably the state will be thrown into the
hands of Townleyism to play with as it's eccentric
fancy may dictate.
The man who is working best for the interests
of Minnesota and everybody in it is not wasting
breath in abusing the Nonpartisan league. He is
trying to find out just what is wrong that it
should be possible for so unappealing bunch as
the Townley junta to herd the farmers of the
northwest and just how to cure that wrong with
out adopting the methods Of Bolshevikism or the
]. w. w. Such man. if there is such man in
Minnesota is the deadliest enemy of Townleyism.
Those whose efforts are confined to abuse and a
hot output Of rhetoric are Townleyism's best
ffieu andsare hspmg to turn the staterewsg to
agrarian Bolshevikism

NEVER SAY DIE. JOHN!

When that item about Rockefeller's giving up
so tons of coal came roaring over the wires from
the east, that time during the fuel shortage it
fairly knocked us out of our chair and we broke a
perfectly good No. 2 lead pencil scratching our
head with it for the idea
When man like Uncle John D. spends good
part of a century saving the pennies, as success
policy, he doesn't suddenly cough up SO tons of
COAL unless he's boiling with big idea, internally
It now appears that John claims that he gave up
the coal with the understanding that he be paid
$8.75 per ton for it, while the local fuel admins
traitor declares that the price agreed upon was
STAB.
John, till the last dogs hung!

COUNTY SEED BONDS.

At meeting of the county dads OF
Oliver county held the fore part OF
this week it was decided to bond the
county for $4,000 to finance the pur
chase of seed grain for needy farmers
in that county.
In Morton county the commission
,ers will not bond the district but a
few days ago passed resolution auth
orizing the count" yauditor to issue
warrants to applicants for seed grain
who furnish evidence Of their ABSOLUTE
need of county assistance. 1t was de-
cided to place limit for the amount
of seed to be given to any individual
at so bushels OF any one kind OF
grain. Only first class security will
be considered by the Morton county
commissioners to guarantee the pay
1ment of the money borrowed for seed
grain.

The Towney league, which is seeking national
control as we'll as control of the granger states, is
busy in Nebraska. The Omaha World-Herald,
after an independent study of the league and its
plans and it's leadership, seems to have come to
precisely the same conclusion as The Herald:
In a recent issue the World-Herald published
letter from a practical farmer active in the
affairs of the Farmers Union-NOT Towney
organzation-in which these sensible things were
said:
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1918-03-09

Now whether this proposal IS delllllte ehouec
or sound enough it would be wrong to Judge OIL
hand. The point is that the league, under the
Townley leadership, comes offering most elab0r-
ate program of state socialism; and that it must be
met not by abuse, but by constructive, practlcal
program that will meet the need and meet 1t pet
ter. The right way to fight the Townley organlza-
ton is not by abuse, but by finding out what is
wrong in the marketing system Of this country
bv finding out what substance there is to the
grievances of the farmers-and then curing these
evils. Cooperating marketing has met the neeo
in Denmark; it has fully met the need OF the Call
forna growers of citrus fruits, OF the west coast
growers of apples, of the grape-growers OF Mlcnl,
gan, and elsewhere. If the farmers want to try II
and they might far better do that than folio"
the hare-brained schemes of the Townley crowd
all legal obstacles ought to be cleared out OF the
way and every possible assistance given by la"
and otherwise
= Abuses DO exist. On the whole, our marketing
system is atrocious; it robs both producer: ane
consumer and feeds horde Of needless protlteers
| Shutting our eyes to that fact while we throw
bricks at the Nonpartisan league will get US no
where and will merely fatten the league.
The World Herald is entirely right when /

You point out the dangers involved in
the program of the league without offering
a constructive program in it's place: There
is danger in state socialism. And beIleve
that the majority Of the farmers who are
members of the league are willing to ellml-
nate the socialstic features from the pro.
gram. AS substitute for a program OF
state socialism, believe that farmers
should espouse measures to keep the ways
to business open," as President Wilson has
expressed it, so that the injustices which
now abound in our marketing system may
be overcome by voluntary cooperation, by
both producers and consumers. We should
break down all monopoies and destroy all
special privileges; then every enterprise
would have to win on it's merits, measured
by the service performed. Extortionate
margins between producers and consumers
could then be eliminated by cooperative
buying and selling. In establishing cooper
ative marketing the farmers should be met
half way.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1918-03-09

san league The danger is that OF state
socialism. It would give us not merely
state-owned public utilities but state
financed businesses Of many kinds, lnclud-
ing elevators, mills, stockyards, packing
plants and wholesale and retail general
stores. Such system, growing by what
it fed on, would give us a colossus to be-
stride the country. 1t would wipe out prl--
vate initiative, destroy individualism, and
give US, in the end, just such goosestep-
ping Prussianism as has brought Germany
economic efficiency at the cost of nearly
everything else that humanity holds dear.
The farmers themselves would eventually
be the worse sufferers. They are today
the most economically independent class OF
our population. But they are also MINOR
ity at the ballot box, taking the country as
whole. And the day would come when
the movement the farmers had started tor
their own class advantage would pass from
their control, and instead of being its bene-
ficiaries they would become it's victims.
1t will not do to denounce the Nonpar-
tisan league program without offering
constructive program in its place. 1here
are in existence grave evils from which the
farmers as we'll as the consumers suffer
greatly. If sane and helpful remedies are not
presented Bolshevikism will come forward
with remedies of it's own. Denunciatory
eloquence directed against the Nonpartisan
league may feed our self-conceit and charm
our ears with it's music, but it will get US
nowhere We must have constructive
remedial program that is sound, workable
and just, or we are likely to see our whole
social and industrial organization thrown
into confusion by unsound and un-American
programs that will bring disaster.
1t can only be by the inconceivable
folly of men who should be progressive
leaders that the farmers can be driven to
socialisms lethal embrace.
Every word CT that is sound sense.

So great is the faith of the American
Red Cross in the American people that
no quotas have been assigned to Red
Cross Chapters for the enrolment Of
members in the Red Cross Christmas
Roll Call. Universal membership is
the goal. Chapters are limited only
by the number of people in their ju-
risdictions. The Roll Call will be fin
ished only when every available per-
son, without regard to age or sex, has
been enrolled. Children may join only
through the Junior Red Cross Auxilia-
ries, and their membership dues are
twenty-five cents a year. The chief
aim In enrolling is not to. raise money
but to increase the membership. Spe-
cial emphasis is laid upon the regular
membership at $1.00 per year, but priv
flege will be given to enroll as a Con-
tribVting Member at $500, Sustaining
Member at $1,000, Life Member at
$4,000 or Patron at $4,000.

Europeans. The spectacle of people
Of wealth and culture enduring the in
dignities and discomforts of existence
in hired quarters in a crowded city is
to them the proof Of this, says a writer
in New York Sun.
But we are learning. The pioneers
from the city to the suburbs have
gradually created the things they
needed to make life livable from a So
cial as well as from a material stand
point, and now life in any up-to-date
suburban locality is as full and COM
plete as in the most favored city.
Take my own locality. We have
golf, tennis and squash clubs. We
have literary. musical and art socie-
ties. We have churches Of the leading
denominations. We have assembly
rooms for public and semipublic meet
ings. During the year there are nu-
merous public entertainments - O
certs, lectures, amateur theatricals,
where the audiences are like one large
family gathering, and for the idle eve
nings we have the inevitable moving
picture house. We are 80 minutes
from the subway station at Grand
Central, the heart Of the club and
amusement district of New York. We
get trains in or out every few minutes
during the busy hours-less frequent
~ but still sufficient at other times,
The rent which we pay to ourselves as
landlord (and we insist upon paying
ourselves 6 per cent net on our cash
inVested) Is less than one-half of what
we would pay for the same living
space In the city, in addition to which
we have light, air, space and that free.
dom which money cannot purchase In
