The Pembina Pioneer Express has this analyo
sis of the Nonpartisan newspaper situation:
According to articles Of incorporation
filed with the secretary Of state, the Nom
partisan party Of North Dakota owns or
controls IS newspapers in the state. Every
body knows that these papers were pur-
chased through money subscribed by farmers
in different localities where these papers
circulate, save the daily which is to be
launched at Grand Forks, which is being fl
nanced by farmers all over the state. Con-
siderable Of this stock is being held by farm
ers Of this county II ,r q.
THE average weekly newspaper incorpora-
ton Is for $11, 400. The stock is divided into
$50 shares common at 50 EACH and 1850
shares of preferred at $40 each.
THE articles stipulate: That the common
stock shall have vote per share.
THAT the preferred stock shall carry one
vote. to each holder of stock, irrespective Of
the amount he holds.
THAT the common stock shall be restricted
to issuance to the promoters and organizers
in payment for their services.
1.-The league promo ters-it has now a corps
of them-get $50 shares of stock with $50
votes for the league.
But there would have to be $50 preferred
stockholders to balance the leagues voting
power. AS there are $1O,500 in preferred
stock, the average sale Of preferred stock
is the small of $42. 1t is obvious that
the number Of preferred stockholders only
under extraordinary conditions reaches a
number sufficient to balance the leagues
voting power and to all intents and pur-
poses the leagues control is absolute and
without a cent OF cost except travelling .ex-
penses and pay for solicitation.
But the league goes further in organizing
these newspapers in order to maintain
troll. The directors the small paper num-
Der three. named in the articles and always
solid league men, often connected with the
ST. Paul headquarters. Sometimes they
ordinary organizers, with one and sometimes
two local directors. These, however, are also
tested men, The articles Of Incorporation
say:
THAT at any time, with without cause,
a majority of the board Of directors may re-
move any officer or director.
Thus absolute control of the paper is
vested in two men-and the league has those
two men. A recalcitrant farmer or deserter
of the Big Boss may be summarily dismissed
justly or unjustly.
But, further still, and here's the exact
language:
Article S7-To guard against litigation by
entrenched wealth, the directors may buy the
stock of any stakeholder by rendering him
the par value thereof, and accrued dividends
with 10 per cent premium; and such stock
holder shall cease to have any further inter-
est in the corporation.

The Mouse River Farmers Press holds III
Towner as an example, in this fashion:
Did you ever find yourself surrounded by
a lot of people who seemed as though the
great master had touched them with magic
wand and everyone was longing to do that
which would help build up a community,
undivided and prosperous? A community
where every heart throbbed with human in
terest and brotherly love? There Is that
psychological condition in Towner, there is
that sentiment that we feel and it stirs us
at times almost to the point Of forgetting
barriers that are so small that they will not
bear aralizing, even to ourselves. ToWner

of great Importance as any in North Da-
kota and it will be If we get together on the
right lines"

'In all OF these states he is trying to line
up union labor and the farmers into one

can SEQ reason why union labor and the
farmers cannot be in the same political
party but we cannot see how the laboring

lieve that they are striving after the same
economic cures.
