all are assured of that. With that

leaders to have the state Of North
Dakota take over the Equity Coop
erative Packing plant at Fargo.
This is to be done when it is de-
termined whether or not the league
can uphold the c%anvassing boards YER
dict on the public ownership and un-
limited indebtedness amendments.
Only a short time ago the Equity
Cooperative announced its determin-
alton to increase the capital stock of
the packing concern from 100000
to $4,000, 900.
If the Nonpartisan League state Of
ficials of North Dakota expect to I'M
load this plant onto the state, now
is certainly the time to increase the
capital stock. But why stop at three
millions, why not five or as high as
ten millions and then ask the state
to buy the common stock of the con-
Eel at par.
After viewing the North Dakota
situation, it is doubtful whether any
western state will want any of this
socialistic crowd in control Of their
institutions.

LEAGUE PAPER COMES OUT
SQUARE FOR TAKING
RACK LAND.

Here's the plain truth about what
A. C. Townley, president, and Arthur
LIE Sueur, executive secretary OF the
Nonpartisan League have in mind by
asking the farmers to vote with them
until their ultimate purpose is achlev-
ed.
Their ultimate purpose is the So
cialization of all property including
farm land. They mean to come as
near making socialistic dreams come
true as possible and they are being
unmasked every day by people who
are periodically opposed to the So
cialist party.
This editorial appears in 1.-THE Daily
Farm Journal" of Sioux Falls, N. u.
For more than a year L. j. Duncan,
former mayor of Butte, Mont, and
state manager of the Nonpartisan
League in South Dakota, has been
writing the editorials for this paper,
one of the official organs Of A. G.
Townley in that state. This editorial
is undoubtedly from the pen of Dun
can. This is his proposition:
"Our laws have all been made by
the direction of the robbing class,
which is the ruling class, and are SC
interpreted and enforced by our courts
of state and nation so as to protect
the malfactors and send their victims
away without redress.
"The only way out Of this is te
change the rules of the game; change
the laws. Abolish all special privil'
eyes. Take over by the state all the
banks, the money, the public utilities
the markets and all the enterprise:

concerned with service Of the public.
"Take back the land titles the val"
ues of which the labors of the people
have created. Take them all back in
the name of the people. in the n
body called the state, the nation.
"In other words democratize the in

duction of which fully IS per cent of
the people are directly engaged and
upon which all the people are depend
ent. Democratize them so that they
shall be the common property of all
the people-as our public roads are
and our public schools and our post
offices and our municipal lighting
plants. Democratize their control, so
that no one class nor clique shall be
able to use them for private gain,
but only for the public service and
| the public good. Democratize the dis
tribution of the product, so that each
, worker shall receive back from the
state in social goods a full equivalent
for the wealth his labor has produc-
ed"
There you are.
If you are ready for socialism, pure
and simple, support the Nonpartisan
League and the socialist leaders who
entered into a conspiracy to lead the
farmers in blindfolded for the bene-
fits of the socialist party which was
making little progress outside the
eastern cities, until A. c. Townley.
socialist organizer of North Dakota
conceived the idea of securing the
votes of the farmers by offering then
big things in exchange for their votes
which he fully intends to use to carr,
out the most radical planks of the So
cialist party platform.
