PLENTY OF WARNING

The complication which has come upon the state
with reference to the effect which certain provisions of
the seed loan law might have on the states credit and
the ability of farmers to borrow money on farm mort
cages from either the government or private sources did
not come without warning. The seed grain law was
thoroughly threshed out in the senate committee, and
one of the members of that onmittee, Senator Jacob
sen. called. the attention of the other members to this
feature, and pointed out the danger which lay in enact
ing the law in its present form. This feature was dis
cussed for hours, and Senator Jacobsen put forth every
possible effort to have the bill changed in such a man
ner as to avoid this complication In spite of his efforts
ne was gpowerless to secure the desired changes, and the
bill was reported and passed.
The difficulties which have arisen are exactly. those
which Mr.. Jacobsen foresaw, and against which he en-
deavored to provide. There is a clash between the seed
loan law and the general federal farm loan law and at
the present time it is possible for only those farmers
to borrow money from the federal land banks who do
not live in counties which are bonding in order 10 pro-
vide seed for the farmers. 1t is to be hoped that some
arrangement will be found possible which will permit
the privileges of the farm loan law to be enjoyed by
those who are likely to be most in need OF them. but
At this time no way out of the dilemma has been indi-
Gated.

AN INJURY TO STATE CREDIT

what cHect mas the agitation in favor Of unsound
economic legislation on the credit of North Dakota?
w. j. Pierce, land owner and business man of Grand
Forks, has been in correspondence with a firm at Wa
1erloo' Iowa, with reference to the sale of a piece OF
North Dakota farm land which he wishes to sell, and a
Few days ago he received from his Waterloo correspond
ent a letter which reads in part as follows:
''Have made some efforts to interest different peo-
PIE in your farm, and, say. the way everyone refers to
your state they call it a second Germany. What is afl
your state is controlled by this faction, and everyone is
scared to death Of it. The fact that such y pronosition
exists has everyone badly scared"
The prosperity Of North Dakota, which means the
prosperity of every citizen of the state, depends very
largely on the reputation which the state has abroad.
Among the many things that we need here is capital
Tor development. We have too few people and too little
money. We must have more of both.
Those who are already residents of the state, and
whose interests arc here, must make the best of the con-
ditions as they exist. and, if they do not approve of those
conditions, must take such steps as are possible to cnanse
them. But those who are not now residents of the state,
such necessity. They do not need to come here or to
they will not come. and they will not permit their money
TO be invested here, if they see evidence of a disposition
on the part of the state to follow the course that leads
to bankruptcy. Credit is something which takes a long
time to build, and which is quickly destroyed. 1t would
take a wise man to figure out how much the Townley
propaganda has cost North Dakota in the impairment
OF its credit in those sections where credit is especially
important.

JOHN REDMOND

The death of John Redmond removes from the Brit
ish parliament and from the field of Irish politics one
OF the foremost figures of the time, one of the strong
est advocates OF Irish home rule, and one Of the most
powerful forces in holding together for united action
the many discordant elements which at one. time or
another had figured in the home rule controversy.
Redmond was one of those men who are sometimes
called practical ideaNsts. He had a vision Of the things
that he wished to accomplish, but he had the shrewd-
ness to understand that unless he and others who thought
not quite as he did we're willing to- compromise on de-
tails the recognition: Of the main principle for which
he struggled was out Of the question. Therefore, while
he stood fast for home rule, he was willing to leave
justed, trusting to time to secure the working out OF. a
cured.
Redmond was one Of those who gave the lie to the
persistent German statements, founded undoubtedly on
the false German analysis Of Irish character, that Ire
land only awaited an attack on the British empire from
without to stab the empire from within. When the war
came he stood unconnpromiainsly for the support Of the
national cause. and he was willing that the disposition
Of Isish matters should await the coming OF a time when
Proper attention could be given 10 that subject without
endangering the security Of the empire or running the
risk that the empire and all It's parts might pass under
the baieful domination Of the German military clique.
Unlike some OF his fcountryInen, he was una Bile To. see
what advantage there would be in freeing. Ireland to

MILLION /.
AT STAKE in
BIG LAW SUIT.
Corporation Charges Mining
Company with Infringe
ment on Patents.

San Francisco. CAL, March g.
sixty million dollars were lat stake
today when arguments were begun in
the United States circuit court Of APP
meals on the appeal Of the suit Of the
Minerals Separation, Limited. against
the Butte and Superior Mining COM
many. in which the separation COR
poration charges the mining concern
with infringement of a patented pro-
cess for extracting ore by 1otation.
Great interest is attached to the
trial because of the large sum In
vo!ved and the possible effect h de-
cision will have on future mining
cases. Lindley M. Garrison, former
secretary OF war under President Will
son, is chief counsel for the Minerals
Senaration, Limited, and Thomas NJ.
Sheridan appeared for the Butte and
Superior corporation.
Exhibits will be introduced in the
course of the trial valued at $4,000.
They include a motion picture Aim
which depicts scenes in smelters In
which ore was extracted; samples Of
ores, and machines used In extracting
the ore.
The appeal on which arguments
were begun today was taken from the
decision of United States District
Judge G.. N. Bourquin of Montana by
the Butte and Superior corporation.
Judge Bourquin upheld the conten-
lions of the separation concern that
their patented process had been In
fringed upon granted an Injunction
ordering the mining concern to cease
utilizing the process, and gave the
separation corporation royalty dam
ages approxjmating ~$10.000,000.
If the appellate court afirms Judge
B%ouruuin's decision, h minerals
separation corporation will institute
similar proceedings against other min
ing concerns which are alleged to
have infringed upon its patented pro-
cases, will total more than %$60,000,-
900. officials of the company said to-
day.
The question of infringement Of
patented processes was decided by the
United States supreme court In the
Hyde, case, in December. 1916, in
which the owners of the process were
said to have gained a complete vic
tory. In that case it was decided that
a patent was held in the process which
called for use Of onc-tenth Of one per
cent Of oil. The Hyde decision played
a great part in the trial before Judge
Bourquin. as it was frequently cited
as authority.
Contentious Of the Butte and ST.
perior Mining company were that the
process they used vas not covered IN
the Hyde decision. because they were
using one per cent or more of oil, and
that since substantially the same re-
suits could be obtained with a fraction
Of one per cent. the supreme court
had been mistaken in it's opinion and
that the patent was void for lack Of
invention. Counsel for the Minerals
Separation corporation commended that
the supreme court has not imposed
any limitation on the amount of oil
that might be used. as has been as
serted by the defendants.
