The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1919-03-28

for the reason that it is absolutely
NoNoPoLlSTlc, the very thing the
!, !,Nonpartisan league as a political or
ganization, is against. We don't be-
lieve in enacting into law any power
which will make it possible for any
lime of business men to monopolize the
present monopolists. What we want
is to break the monopolists and make
their, business ,usefuTI in the comm9fn
ity in which they, exist. =:
The Board of Administration
which empowers the elimination of The
board of control, board of regents and
other sister boards ,are creating ONE,
commission which will supeHYis1 plac-
ing all our: public schools the
same head AS the state pshitentiary,,
where criminals and outlaws are
guarded and reform schools where
wayward boys and girls are kept. Our
children are in cur public schools
from childhood, to maturity for edu-
cation, and we don't believe anNss
of otaoialsyAo matter how competent
they are, can look for the children's
best welfare while at the same time
keeping in mind the best things fd

The Morton County Farmers Press,
is strong supporter Of the original
Mpnpartisan principles. We still
maintain are ports = the sla
Ereaf Nonartisan cause, but these
measures which have been ""slipped'"
to the recent North Dakota legisla-
tive body and "steam-rollered" are not
in harmony with the Nonpartisan
FARMERS program. They never
were part Of the league program.
Every one of these bills are deep
rooted measures, They concern and
GREATLY concern every tax payer
and every. man or woman who has a
child in school, Attorney General
LANCER has termed them as un-Amer
lean and not democratic and The Nor
ton County Farmers Press believes
he is right.
TO EXPLAIN MEASURE
The Farmers Press will go into de-
tail week by week, explaining the laws
in fair and impartial manner
If you are approached and asked
to sign petitions, we would advise you
to sign such, as you think should be
referred or initiated.
We will be pleased to receive COM
munications on these questions and
will be more than glad to publish
them. =

Pay to Monkey With Langer's Band
Wagon, What?" the Morton County
Press in the same issue says editor
tally:
Attorney General William LANCER,
State Treasurer Olson, State Auditor !
Karl Kositzky and Secretary of State !!
Hall, are leaders in the opposition of |
the bills drafted and drawn for alleg-
ed personal privilege. The pictures
of these four prominent state officials |
appear in the st. Paul Dispatch,
paper very much opposed to the Non
partisan league. An extensive story
explains how these officials come out
flat-footed against the steam-rollered
bills. &c., s. -.
a The theory that-s"it doesn't pay to
monkey with the band wagon" is well
proved in this case. gain the states
attorney general comes before the
people in a big mission. He like his
state colleagues equired courage to-
cast aside the friendship and political
strength Of the leaders Of the Nom
partisan league who were personally
influential in bringing about such;
legislation. Mr.. LANCER travels with
the band wagon that plays Yankee
Doodle fright Justice and democrasyD&
all the time and we have. veto heaf !,
his band play out Of tune. Even tie

Tribune and the Fargo Forum and &
