some QUESTIONS FOR A.C. T0WNIEY ET AL

WHY, Immediately following the arrival of President A. C.
Townley, should there be introduced a bill whose effect would be
to deprive of a voice in their government several thousand soldier
boys now preparing to lay down their lives for that government On

WHY should the league seek to remove from the independent

governor 10 treat three of his friends
to world joy-ride at the expense of the
state. The fact that the bill provid.
ed for such a commission was over
looked in the hurried first reading,
and few members of the house, except
those who had been let in ON the in
side, knew what the bill contained un-
til Tenneson of Cass demanded that
the bill be read again and be read
slowly and clearly. Then the joker
was brought out, and patriotic men,
bers Of the house turned loose. The
pressure was too great, and for the
first time since the league has domi-
mated the house of representatives,
the Towlyeites were forced by their
own house members to back up.
Reishus Makes Attack
"Can it be true" demanded Eeishus,
father of the two soldiers voting bills,
that this committee will deny the
soldiers of our state the right to- vote?
| can't conceive that this house, domi.
mated as it may be, will let this bill
gO'by the board because of the report
of a committee u%nfriendiy to Il sol
diers in France. I repeat the charge
that these two bills have been turned
down for political purposes by n com.
mittee unfriendly to our soldiers in
France"
Rep. A. M. Hagen Of Westhope rath-
err weakly refuted the charge, by de-
claring that his committee "believed
the commission idea more PRACTICAL"
The League Bill.
, House Bill No. II, introduced dur
ing the noon hour by Patterson of Rem
Vile, provides that the secretary of
state shall make a complete register
of all lei in foreign service; that he
shall prepare official war ballots, and
that a commission of three men, to be
named by the governor from the three
leading political parties of the state
shall take these registration cards and
these official ballots, and with $4,000
of the states money in their pockets,
or such portion of that amount as they
may deem necessary, journey to
France or to Hong Kong or Timbuc-
too, or such other portion Of the globe
as may contain North Dakota soldiers
and sailors in active service, and
there, by the permission of and in CO.
operation with the military author
tiles, proceed to conduct primary and
general elections. The personnel of
such board is to be changed after each
general election as a means of per
hitting more men to ride about the
world at state expense. 80
Patterson consented to having his
bill re-referred to the committee on
election privileges, but would not con-
sent to its going to a special committe
or into committe of the whole. La
throp o to insist that a public
hearing be held on the bill, but Mil
Ter choked him off with the previous
question. Another attempt from Rel
sinus to speak on the bill was declared
out Of order by Speaker Wood.

Secretary Remission of Commercial
Club Has Welcome News
From Washington.

Secretary Remission OF the Bismarck
COMMERCIAL club, has advices from
Washington that the senate has adopt
ed the conventions report eliminating
the sO.called Weeks amendment which
authorizes the secretary OF treasury to
purchase during the fiscal years OF
1918-19l9 $500, 5000 worth Of farm
loan bonds.
MI. Remission said: This is a hap
py disposition Of a matter Of great mo-
ment to the cereal growing states Of
the northwest, and this action Of con-
gross Is particularly fortunate in view
ofsthe fact that farmers will now find
funds available through the federal
farm loan banks.

welcome news to the honest and thrift
ty farmer who isa now in a, position

as he deems wise and profitable, and
at the same time take up any burden

nave plenty Ol HlUHey Will Ho AcCoo-
sary plea of Indulgence, and this re
cent act OF congress will cause the
stabilizing of the value Of federal farm
loan lands, insuring the farmer avail
able money at low rates.
Capitalists Waking Up.
1T Is altogether probable that the
government will not buy a. very large
amount Of these bonds because capital
lists, will, begin to realize that this Is
good. property bearing q good rate Of
interest and exempt from taxation.
"'I,also feel that the many interested
farmers of North Dakota who have
urged. the passage Of this measure
should be equally ready to write their
appreciation az they were to urge the
adoption. 1t all goes to show that
v during the war a just and fair
measure receives the same considera-
ton as during times Of peace, and
receives that consideration whether it
affects the laboring man, the capital
is or the producer"

their country in France and else.

that the three bills were identical, and
that the league bill which was to be
reported out merely provided a short
