SEED CORN AND CORN IMPROVEMENT

It in this connection it is important to know
how mature corn must be in order to make
seed corn. In a trial at the IN. D. Experiment
Station it was found that seed corn selected
when in the dough stage grew fairly well, but
not nearly as well as the seed from mature corn.
A small percentage of the corn gathered IN the
strain should only get as far as the milk stare
1T could be saved, but it would not do for field
planting. The more immature the corn the
more care will be needed I'M curing iE.sN. D. Ax-

FARMERS CATSPAWS IN GRAIN GRAD
ING SUIT.

Attempts of I. V. A. publications to make it
appear that farmers near Emden, N. D., have
entered suit to have the North Dakota grain
grading laws set aside on the ground that they
are unavoidable and conflict with federal grain
grading laws have been exposed and found to be
the work of a small board of directors, the ma
.jority Of which were supporters of the l.. v. A.
the stockholders of the company, who are most
ly farmers, not having been consulted. J.
At a meeting of the Farmers Grain Company
at, Emden, Ern. Mares, a director in the Farm
ers' & Grain Dealers association, and also a
stakeholder in the Emden company, urged this
suit. The directors present at the meeting were
A. =. Luther, strong Nonpartisan; Paul Mar
schke, Nonpartisan; p. j.. Walburg, I. V. A.;
Fred Martin, I. V. A.; Milton Streck, I. v. "A.
The two Nonpartisans voted against starting
the suit; the three I. V. AS. voted for the suit.
It was agreed, however, that the Farmers &
Grain Dealers association should stand all the
expenses and losses connected with the action.
1t will be remembered that Secretary Gahlke Of
the Farmers and Grain Dealers association
started a suit against the grain grading law
some time ago and that letters were published
in Nonpartisan League dailies indicating that
the Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce was be-
hind this action. Getting no backing from the
farmers and little support from elevator men,
Gahlke let this suit lapse. It appears that the
same elements behind the former suit have cast
about in North Dakota to get a farmers or
ganization to sponsor another suit against the
new law.

FORD PLANS NEW FACTORIES

Detroit, Sept. 6.-Henry Ford, who is said to
be planning the erection Of several large auto
mobile and tractor plants and auxiliary factor
les in various parts Of the country, will oper-
ate them entirely by the hydro-electric system,
it has been announced by bis secretary, Ernest
G. Liebold.
Many municipalities situated on streams and
rivers that can be harnessed will, according to
Mr.. Liebold, eventually have Ford factories.
It is reported that Mr.. Ford and his enpin-
GERS have devised a new type Of generator which
IS a radical departure from designs now gener-
ally in use. 5.
1t is planned by Mr.. Ford to begin the erec-
lion Of a number Of auxiliary plants on the
streams Of Michigan shortly, manufacturing at
the source of the raw material and providing
labor for thousands Of men and women. Even
tlally, III is expected, the system will be extend,

including Mexico and Canada.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT ON THE STUFF
RAGE QUESTION .

To the wives of Nonpartisan League men,
bers and others interested along the lines of
Woman Suffrage:
I would like to ask you all the question Of:
Whom the Constitution Of the United States
Meant when it said, 1--WE the People of the
United States"
Do you not think that women were included
in the WEI" Then why should not we have
had the right to vote years ago, as well as man.
know Of many women who are more capable
of understanding politics and voting than many
of our male citizens. But still the men have al
ways kept us in the Diary when it came to giving
us the franchise.
Do the men who are against Woman Suffrage
really believe the women to be inferior beings
placed here as their servants with inferior men,
tai powers? If they do not, then why should
not the mothers Of the nation have a voice in
making the laws governing the land where
their children are growing up.
If we women as a class are too inferior men
tally, then we must be too inferior to raise the
boys and girls Of this land of ours. Some peo-
pie think that women have no time to study and
converse on politics, others, hat the homes may
be neglected.
I am Of the opinion that women have really
more time to study than men. Now, fellow
farm women, let us prepare for the day when
we shall have suffrage, for we are sure it will
come soon. We farm women should be as we'll
educated as the town women. We have just as
much right, so let's start at once and right
things that are wrong. I for one cannot see
why we should work harder and receive less for
our toll than town women. Let's get busy and
follow the slogan of our fellow farm men of
well Stick, Well VIM" and if we do not al
ready belong to the Woman's Auxiliary of the
Nonpartisan League by all means get busy and
either start a club or join one in your near
neighborhood. Do not wait for an organizer to
come to your house to sign up, for remember
one farmers wife is as busy as another and we
must not wait for our neighbor to come and ask
us to join, thereby neglecting her own house
duties, and push the education of our youths
and not say as I heard one man remark recently
that farmers should stay nome and work more
and read less and it would be better for them.
Education is just what the farmer needs to-
day. So, let us educate our! own class so that
we do not have to send bankers and lawyers
to make our laws, but shall have a little super
vision over them ourselves. Fellow farm wo-
men wake up and arise to the emergency and
when we get the full franchise the League pro-
gram will not be defeated by our carelessness
in not being at the poles to vote. In the mean
time we must study politics before the time ar
rives, which is only a year away.-By a member
of Club No. 10 of the Woman's Auxiliary of Ost-
by Township.

INCREASE LESS THAN IN MANY OTHER
STATES STORIES OF OPP
POSITION BASELESS =

The wild stories given out to the opposition
press by. State Auditor Kositzky that the COM
ing tax levy would be enormous and would
amount to not less than $5,O OO,O 600, were eff
fectually laid to rest by a report just issued by
Tax Commission, George E. Wallace, announc-
ing the total amount that will have to be raised
by the state as So, lao.
This amount, says Mr.. Wallace, will be raised
on 9 total valuation of property in the state of
$i,6OO,OOO 900. The state levy will be fixed at
a rate that will bring in the required $685.
lao.
The state tax ordinarily amounts to only 8 per
Dakota. This year the state tax will be Is per
cent of all the taxes the people will pay. The
other IS per cent will be levied and spent by
city and county officials. It is this z per cent
Increase in actual taxes that the opposition
says is going to bankrupt the state and ruin
the citizens.
This increase is not unusual. It is much less
than in many states that have no new program
Of industrial reforms like North Dakota and
the main reason is the increased cost Of govern
1nent, accustomed by increased prices. In Min
nesota, which has attempted nothing new in re-
form legislature, the states share of the taxes
has increased 300 per cent, while in North Da-
kota the increase was about 100 per cent. In
the /. v. "A. centers where such 4 howl has rome
u1, city and county taxes have increased SO per
cent. M9t5
The increase Of state taxes was made to pay
for the soldiers fund, for the states new share
in keeping up the schools, for repair of public
buildings rund own during the war and to start
the new public industries until the time when
bonds are sold and they begin to pay for them
selves, when this money will be returned to the
state.

FRAZIER ENDORSED BY LABOR LEAGUE

Governor Frazier's candidacy for president
OF the United States was indorsed at the con-
ventlon of the North Dakota Workers Nom
partisan Political Alliance in the following res
olution:
WHEREAS, the growth Of the National Labor
Party of America since it's inception early in
the year 1919 has been so rapid and of such a
scope to indicate that this party of workers
and producers of the things useful to. the peo-
pie OF this nation will be a determining factor
in the general election for president of the
United States in 1920; and
WHEREAS, the question of a standard bear
er for the campaign of 1920 is one of the most
vital Importance to the toilers of the cities and
the toilers of the farms, inasmuch as a man
who has proven his fidelity and worth to the
common masses should be chosen therefore be
RESOLVED, by the delegates of "Labors
Political Party" of North Dakota, in conven-
ton assembled at Fargo on August 81, 1919.
that we enthusiastically. and unqualifiedly re-
commend to the National Labor party Of Amer
lea the name Of North Dakota's fearless and
faithful governor Hon. Lynn j. Frazier, as one
who has proven by his square stand in behalf
Of the workers Of our state to be big enough,
broad enough, and great enough to lead the or
ganized workers Of the nation to victory at the
polls in the presidential election of 1920.
Belt FURTHER RESOLVED that this con-
vention go on record as endorsing the national
Frazier for president" movement started by
the organized workers and farmers Of our sister
state Of Minnesota, and that copies Of this res.
oluti0n be sent to the secretary Of the National
Labor Party, Max Hayes, of Cleveland, Ohio,
and to the secretary Of the FRAZIER for pres
ident movement, Clint Ashmun, Of Olivia, MINI.

In the discussion over the question Of what.
name to call the new organization, there was.
some division, a minority desiring to organize
an independent labor party cooperating with
the Nonpartisan League and the majority de-
slr1ng q nonpartisan league of labor similar to
the farmers nonpartisan league. When the
latter element prevailed, it was decided to use
the name alliance instead Of league, as meaning
the same thing.
The following resolutions were adopted. II
ENDORSING Frazier for president; Endorsing
League program and pledging political co-opera-
the Plumb plan Of public ownership of rail-
roads; 4-Resolution of coincidence over the
death Of father of two delegates; 5-thanking
Knights OF Columbus for hall, City Of Fargo
and entertainment committee for hospitality,
Grand Forks band for services and convention
stenographer for faithfulness 6asking for the
withdrawal of U. S.. troops from Russian before
winter and that no more arms and supplies be
shipped to the Observation-Disclosures in Russia.
The matter of soliciting delegates for the
convention of the National Labor Party in Chi
cage September 20 was left to the state central
commlttee. Grand Forks was selected as the
meeting place of the next convention of the
North Dakota Labor Alliance, time to cores
pond with the meeting of the North Dakota
Federation Of Labor. It was decided to set both
meetings forward to March, 1920, so as to give
sufficient time to choose the labor candidates
and conduct the political campaign next year.
These candidates will supplement farmer cam
didates' and work in cooperation with them.
The officers follow: It,

ident, N. T: O'Connell, Bismarck; Secretary and
