And let it pull him out of debt.
A car saves time and helps pile,
Besides, it adds a lot of style.

No wonder his old farms wreck.

One rapidly growing organization

The insurance company evidently
promises to fight the strikers and
pay all damages in return for a fat

The politicians and newspapers,
who are regularly and long-establish-

Outlook Always Leads

The community known as the Out
look territory is probably one of the
most progressive communities in the
northwest.
That community is fast learning
the benefits of community efforts
lit has learned that the things used
bv the community are best owned by
the community.
The people in that territory have
long been keen and active students
of cooperation and that cooperation
is constructive, while competition, in
stead of being the life, is the death
of any thing or institution.
Many people still believe this old
gag: many people who never think
or observe and only parrot. what
some one else has said.
Many good things in life are in the
aasv reach of the people of any
Community if those people will only
learn how to work together.

about Knocked Out

Under decisions yesterday from
the federal district and the state su-
preme court, the l. V. AS legal fight
against the farmers program, suffered
as singing and complete defeat as
its political fight will receive on
June 26.
Judge Amidon's decision in Fargo
was more than an affirmation of the
constitutionality of the farmers pub
lie ownership program. The emin-
ent jurist in his decision set forth the
rights of the public in such a states
manlike manner that his decision
amount in effect to a magma charta
of industrial democracy. It is safe
to assert, both that it will be upheld
by higher courts to which doubtless
the I. v. A. will carry it, and that it
viii be quoted from again and again
during the next few years in the
fight for real democracy that will
engage all other states besides North
Dakota.
AS for the state supreme court, it
has effectively ended the last hope Of
the old gang to block the creation of

CONSPIRACY TO ROB

Detroit, Mich. June 18.-An alleged

Indictment charges Vt conspiracy
have been returned by the United

the Bank of North Dakota for
there is no member of the old gang
so deluded as to imagaine even for
a moment that the bank act will be
defeated on June 26. There was new
er any merit in Secretary of State
Halls contention that the bonds were
unconstitutional. The sole reason
for his refusal to sign was his desire
to delay the organization of the
bank, and to create distrust among
intending investors.
Yesterday was a great day for the
farmers of North Dakota. Thanks
to Judge Amidon and to the majority
justices of the supreme court, many
cunningly contrived legal obstacles
were swept aside, as they deserved
to be. The court will not stand in
the way of the carrying out of the
peoples will. It remains now only
for the people to register their will
once more on June rs, and more ov-
erwheImingly than ever before, and
the actual carrying into effect of the
long-desired program will become a
reaIity.-Courier News.

Wall around North Dakota

They're building a wall around
North DakOta"-is the new slogan
or better, the complaint of the tin.
horn drummers who go up and down
Nortn Dakota selling pFunes and
CARVING anti-farmer propaganda as
a side line. J.
They talk. in fact, of little else in
the hotels and on the trains but this
side line.
While they merely peddle the an
tl-tarmer propaganda as it is given
to them by the politicians, just as
they peddle prunes or patent medi-
cine after the home office has told
them what the talking points are,
there is some basis to the complaint
about "the wall around North Dake-
ta."
The farmers are not planning a
wall, however, but home substitutes
for business now done long way
east Of North Dakota.
These substitutes will make it no
longer necessary for many drummers
from New York, Pittsburg, Chicago
and the Twin Cities to "cover" that
state and add the cost of their travel
ing to the goods consumed there.
Not only will the state of North
Dakota soon produce flour, meat and
number of other products for its
citizens, but the new laws passed and
to be passed by future legislatures
responsible to the people there will
make possible a great development

Some one might explain to the I'M
believers, who are growing so num-
erous these days how. absolute
domination of the oil industry by old
man Rockefeller promotes individual
initiative and efficiency, whereas gov
eminent ownership of the oil re-
sources would destroy these things.
We confess to being too ignorant to
understand how monopoly contributes
to the initiative of any one, not. even
of the monopolist. If the opponents
of government ownership fondly be-
live that American business new en-
joys a state of blissful freedom, then
it is our turn to supply the essential
information.

frame-up and run to Jail or assault
leaders of farmer and labor organi-
cations. thrive as never before.
The German spies clever enough to
escape detection here, and now
thrown out of their regular jobs, are
finding profitable employment for
their talents.
So far as these feas bled the spe-
cial interests of their ill-gotten wal
profits, few probably would feel any
concern, but the public danger from
them. in fact, is great.
Their profits depend on the fears
of special privilege.
Consequently they have a strong
motive for increasing this fear.
Their business demands that they
concoct bomb plots, imaginary revo.
lutions by violence, and destruction
of property, when they can not dis.
cover isolated crack-brained individu
ais here and there foolish enough to
! advocate these things.
The two bomb plots recently dis.
covered may easily have been sprung
to shake a few more millions out Of
special privilege.
And when Congressman BlantOn oil
Texas tries to connect these outrages
with organized labor he is simply a
flea endeavoring to get special priv.
lege attention politically and finan.
cially.

of private and cooperative business
Manufacturing will be brought
close to the raw materials and to the
consumers, and thus made cheaper to
the consumers.
Local storage will be another great
cost-reducing factor.
The whole nation, in fact, suffers
greatly from this burden of overspe-
cialization of certain industries in a
few centers.
It is not the result of efficiency in
production, but of the railroad desire
for long rail hauls and the desire of
monopolists to have their business
under as few roofs as possible.
Why, for instance, should Mime
apolis hides go to Boston to be
made into shoes, and then come all
the way back to Minnesota to be
worn?
Why ship live cattle from North
akota and Montana to St. Paul and
Chicago and then ship the products
back to these states.
Why should these states ship
wheat to the Twin Cities and then
ship the products back?
The only affirmative answer to
these and similar questions is the
profits of the few.
Quite naturally, then, when North
Dakota takes up the profits and the
prosperity of the many, she prepares
to change the absurd and vicious
business conditions.
