If some of you farmers and bust
ness men think. that the post dated
check system of fnanceering is good
business try to pay off your farm help
with checks payable ninety days from
date and see what the help says to
you. What is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander, they say.

Funny isn't it. In the last two
campaigns the nonpartisan league has
been putting up the cry that govern
ment by injunction is all wrong and
condemned loudly those who favored
that method of doing business. Now
that their banks are being investigated
in order to stop investigation they
themselves turn to government by in
junction and have applied to the courts
to get injunctions restraining LANCER
from going ahead>with the investiga-
tons. It seems to matter whose OK
is gored. Anyway it shows the insin-
cerity of the leaders of the league
they do not practice what they preach.
-BUY ". S. s.
The post dated check newspaper of
the non-partisan league at Fargo, Ia
ments the fact that there is no recall
in this state so that Mr.. LANCER and
one or two other state officials cannot
be recalled. 1t is the best thing that
ever happened to the present state adj
ministration that there is no recall
if there was there would be very few
of the present state officers left on the
Job after the people had chance to
vote on their recall and they would
start chopping the heads off at the
head of the ticket. When that special
session of the legislature is called let
the bunch pass a recall law that can
go into effect Immediately and then
let them start up a recall election. We
can promise that post dated check
dawn of new day lot of financial
artists run for their money.

The league organs have now dis
covered that State Auditor kosltszky
is short some twenty thousand dollars
on his bond according to the Courier
News and this fact is played up IN
the morning issue of the Townleyized
organ today. Of course this is another
camouflage to try and hide the dis
tressing state of affairs that is both
ering the state administration in re-
gard to these over padded banks. II
the state auditor is short that much
on his bond the officials Of the state
have been very lax in their duty al
lowing him to handle millions of dol
lars without a proper bond, and II ne
is short now he must have been short
for all the time he has been holding
the Office, and if so why has not this
fact been made known before this.
The work of the kept press is too
coarse to be swallowed by a fair
minded public.

If either the republican party or
democratic party had attempted to
put over a campaign OF ruthless ana
exorbitant taxation like the present
administration has done to the people
of the state, there would not be room
in Bismarck to hold the thousands OF
indignant farmers and business men
who would 60 there to mop Ine- staVe
house and demand clearing out OF
the rottenness that exists financially
and politically. There would nave
been a revolution-the farmers who
voted for this program would nave
heen the loudest in their condemnation
of the work of the administration un-
der the above caption that would run
tho state that way. Now they allow
a bunch of imported non-tax paying
socialists to come here, grab off all
the big jobs created by benehcent
legislature owned and controlled by
the bunch to legislate new jobs for
them, to impair the credit and finan-
cial status of the state and accept
post dated checks as collateral to
run the business.
