FUSION IN MlNlDOkA.

In Minidoka county a fusion ticket
has been named by Republicans and
Democrats to combat the Non-Parti-
san League. The Republicans were
given two of the three county COM
missioners, representative, assessor,
treasurer, school superintendent and
probate Judge, the Democrats the
other positions excepting surveyor
and attorney, for which Republicans
are to be named. This Is purely
local contest, however, and has no
state significance, although the bitter
feeling among the Democrats there
against the Non-Partisan League lead
ers. it is expected, will be reflected in
a marked Democratic vote for Re
publican State candidates in case the
lcaguers carry off the Democratic pri-
maries.

Help the Red Cross
No Cause for Complaint.

Charles ]. Brand, Chief Of Bureau
of Markets Of the U. S. Dept. of Agri
culture in his bulletin of May 81 en-
titled "Have the Farmers Been Given
Square Deal in the Federal Stand
ards for Hard Red Spring Wheat?'
answers in no uncertain manner the
complaints of Commissioner of Agri-
culture of North Dakota who said Il
also fear that the wheat producers
believe that they have not received a
fair deal in the grading" The North
Dakota commissioner went on with
many complaints which intimated
that the government was unfair in its
dealings with the farmers and his
complaint was probably lodged with
the Department of Agriculture as
part of the propaganda of the Non
Partisan league to discredit the
Washington government and all gov
ernment and show the farmers of
North Dakota what wonderful work
the league is doing to secure special
privileges for its members.
Chief Brand answered the COM
munication of the North Dakota gen.
tlemen in no uncertain manner and
he showed that the farmers of North
Dakota and other States had been CIV
en- every advantage IN the govern
ment grading regulations and further
more that the farmers themselves had
attended the public hearing in more
than. 20 Locations for the purpose OF
helping arrive at the figure aodpted.
The whole complaint of the North
Dakota commissioner Is the result OF
en- organized effort on the part Of the
so-called Non-Partisan league to Sc
cure special privileges for its mem
bers at the expense of the balance OF
the nation.
The government Is not interested in
such movements but is interested in
seeing that both the farmers and the
public are treated fairly.
The Non-Partisan league which is
active in this State appeals to class
and attempts to discredit
existing forms of government in its
effort to secure control of govern
ment functions for a special class.
This one incident well illustrates
the danger of permitting such a con-
fition of affairs to exist.
The American government is for the
protection of all the people and not a
privileged few.

TRIBUTE PAID INSURANCE IN

Insurance companies are to be con-
graduated for the conservative eau
ton which has enabled them to keep
clear OF the entanglements Of politics
and the constant exactions OF party
support Here Is at least one depart
ment Of trade which has asked but
few favors, and has not been greatly
bothered by labor problems. Yet to
quote figures Of the volume Of finance
transacted in insurance would be to
compile data comparable only to the
budgets of the Government when 1t
war. II this far paternalism has not
reached out to bring ownership and
operation of insurance under Federal
auguries 1t is the insurance man him
self who is to be congratulated.
Can it be the insurance companies
show better Judgment and greater
capacity in the organization Of large
STATS Of operatives than is manifest
ed in other lines of enterprise? Why
is 1t that there are no insurance bank
ruptcies or receiverships to speak OF,
no mutual recrimination between
and private management,
no strikes and no demand for public
ownership? Is it because the mana
cement of these companies approach
es details and difficulties with the
sole desire of unaided. unsubsidized

PRUSSIANISM OR
AMERICANISM
Whip the Hun

That is the sole issue in the tide
Of Socialism sweeping over our coun-
try-which shall it be, prussianiza-
ton or stay American?
With all the alleged mistakes, blum
ders and imperfections of the Ameri-
can political system, for fifty years a
hundred million people prospered
We enjoyed greater opportunities
and achieved greater happiness and
made more progress to the square
inch per individual than any nation.
Paternalism and socialism read
well and talk well, but the American
system that which they attack, has
always worked well.
Bolshevikism viewed through the
tortoise-shell trimmed glasses of some i,
soft-handed and often soft-headed
theorist is a nostrum
It is a name for the highest flower
ing of rampant Socialism that open
ed the door for kaiser kultur and is
not making the people happier
Prussianism is despotism by the alA
highest. Bolshevikism is despotism
by the all-lowest. American demo
cracy means opportunity for all.
Democracy is the only system on
trial today that is intelligently plan
ned and fitted to the needs of the
