FRENZIED P~ROFiTEERING

Frenzied profiteering is the order of the day more
than eight months after the last shot was fired in the
great war. Shoes that have been retailing at $12 have
been suddenly advanced to $19.90. We are told that
this is not the end. Announcements were made from
New York recently that the price of clothing is to in
crease 100 per cent above the present prices this fall.
Suits now selling for $45 and $50, says the report, will
be selling in a few months for SIS to 800.
So much for prices charged by American %pro6teers
to Americans. Quite a different story is contained in
an article in a recent issue of the Journal Of Commerce
of New Nork. 1t tells what American ~proiteers are
charging foreigners for the purpose of capturing the
world market from alien competitors:
One export firm announces $4,000 pairs of shoes
for export, of this amount there are $4,000 mems
Russian calf shoes, costing FROM $3.25 to $4.25,
for $2.35 per pair" This is for export, not for the
home market. Another firm publishes a list of
100000 pairs of mems arctics and 10000 pairs of
mems shoes, ready for export direct from its own
factories. There are $4,000 pairs Of mems work
shoes for So; others at $18O, $2.25, $2.35 and $3.50
There are womeh's kid shoes for 1925 and welt OK
fords at $1.75. All for export.
Think of it! American patrioteers are preparing to
sell to Europeans, South Americans>and Asiatics shoes
for less than one-third the price they sell them to theil
own countrynlen. They are making a fleeing pen OF
America in order to fill their chests with loot to be used
in capturing foreign trade. 60
1t is unreasonable to assume that in selling shoes fol
So, So and 81 to the foreign trade, that they are losing
money. They are undoubtedly making normal profits
on these sales. This reveals to what extent Americans
are being skinned by Americans and to what extent the
]profiteers of this country have lied in accounting fol
the present outrageous prices.

LEAGUE NAY ENTER COUNTY PoLITIcs.

That the Nonparfisan League will 60 Into county
politics in the future to clean out the opposition gangs
in the various counties, is regarded as 9 foregone con-
clusion by prominent Leaguers.
The feeling that this has become q necessity has been
growing steadily as the county gangsters have contin-
ned to prostitute their offices and powers by resorting
to the most crooked kind Of practices to deceive the
voters and break the power of the Nonpartisan League
in the state.
The tax trick launched by practically every gang
ruled county administration in The state is one example
Of this misuse of public office. County assessors all
over the state spent most Of their time prior. to the
referendum election spreading among taxpayers gross
misstatements about the new tax laws. These lies
coming from tax officials carried great weight and
caused many friends of. the new laws to change their
votes.
Later the Infamous "eminent domain trick was
p~racticed in various counties. It consisted in county
officials serving illegal custer proceeding upon mis-
informed farmers in a pretended effort to enforce the
new home building law.
News this week to the effect that twenty gang county
administrations have decided to levy, or that they are
levying excessive taxes in order to dscredit the new
laws,> shows again that as long as the opposition holds
an office in the state it is bound to misuse it to further
its political power.
The cattle poisoning eases in Golden Valley county,
leading to the murder Of the victim, M. <. Bowen, a
strong Lacquer, by men ~deputized by county author
tiles belonging to the gang, after he had vainly plead
ed for protection Of life and property, is another devel-
opment that is convincing Leaguers that the organized
farmers must go into local politics next election and
thereafter, and that the state will not be safe for law,
order and democracy until every nest of g~angsters is
routed from local power.

N A POINTS THE WAY.

The Canadian government decided a few days ago
to buy the entire wheat crop of Canada this year and
sell it at world market prices, giving the farmers full
advantage of these prices minus the actual cost of
handling the crop. By the elimination of all middle
men and spectators. the farmers will receive a price
only slightly below what the consumers pay. This will
protect the consumers also from the %exactions and ex-
tortions of middlemen and gamblers.- 81
In doing this, Canada is following the lead of the
Australian government, which began the year, after the
war to buy and sell the wheat crop for the benefit of
the producers and consumers. By handling the wheat
and wheat products and livestock and meat in this way
the Australian government was; able to hold the price
Of bread and meat approximately one-half what the
consumers in the United States are paying. At the
same time the farmers and cattlemen were getting
top prices for their produce. The Australian govern
ment was able to do thislbecause il performed this ser
vice at cost and enabled the producers and consumers
to divide a large amount that had previously gone to
unnecessary middlemen and spectators.
This is the fundamental pricinple upon which the
Nonpartisan League is based, and the League program
of state-oWned elevators, f0ur mills, stockyards, ware.
houses, cold storage plants and other utilities is the
method adopted by the League to carry out this prin-
ciple Of public service at cost il the marketing Of the
staple food products. It will do away with the high
cost of living as nothing else will without cutting pric-
es on the farmers.
Rev. Ambrose Of Grand Forks, anti-farmef minister,
has broken out again. He says that prohibition is driv-
ing many workingnen in the east to radicalisn> and
that it is better for q worker to have his head full Of
booze than full Of such ideas. Rev. ambrose. speech

FARMER MOORE
GAINED 81 LBS
All Troubles Overcome BY Taking
Tanlac-Had Suffered Eight
Years

II suffered for eight long years be-
fore I found a medicine that would
do me any good, but since taking Tan
lac I have gained exactly thirty-seven
pounds, and all my troubles have been
completely overcome" said John n.
Moore, a we'll known and prosperous
farmer who lives on R. F. D. No. a.
Empire, ILL.,, while in Shorthouse's
drug store the other day.
! "When / commenced taking Tam
lac" he continued, 81 had reached the
point where / couldn't do any work
at all, and was forced to hire q hand
to take my place on the farm. had
suffered so much and SO long with
stomach trouble, I was just about
down and out SO far as health and
strength was concerned. During all
these years my appetite was very poor
and what little I did manage to eat
would give me worlds of suffering.
Gas would form on my stomach SO bad
that I could hardly get my breath, and
I would have the worst sort Of cramp-
ing spells. I finally got. to where I was
hardly ever able to retain what ate,
and would actually get nauseated ev-
cry time / looked at anything to eat.
I had fallen off so much, and was SO
low in health that all my friends were
talking about the awful condition !
was in. I was very nervous all the
time and v knew, what a good
nights sleep was.
ri heard about Tanlac, then, and I
thought l would give it a trial. Well,
sir, my friends and neighbors are
talking differently now. They r ask
ing me what in the world have I been
taking to make such a big improve
ment in my condition, and it just does
my heart good to tell them that Tanlac
did it. It is wonderful the way I have
gained in weight and strength. I can
go to the field now and do as much
hard work as any hand on the farm.
My stomach seems to be in perfect
condition, and I never have indigestion
and am not bothered with gas forming
after meals. I have the best appetite
I ever had in my life, and can eat
just anything I want. I am free from
all that nervousness, too, and l sleep
just like a boy every night. Tanlac
has done all that for me, and I am as
we'll and hearty now as / yer was in
my life, and as long as I live / will
pass the good word along to others
who suffer as I did"
Tanlac is sold in Bottineau by Sig
uardson's Pharmacy, in Westhope by
The Westhope Drug Co., in Gardena
by Ben H. Boltz, in Willow City by
Willow City DRUG & Jewelry Co., and
in Antler by Antler Drug & Jewelry

It took six months of the hardest kind of pressure
from the public to cause the government to release at
cost 341,0O0,000 pounds of ~foodstuffs at a time when
the food trust had stored the largest food hoard in the
history of the, nation and the release of the army food
might interfer with the packers corner on the food sup
ply. Whether the food is now being released because
the packers are ready, or whether we have just escap-
ed q dictorship of ~profteers, has not been made public.

The only League state was first to rush to the res
cue of the farmers of the drouth stricken regions. Con-
gresham Sinclair with his bill for Sc, 100000 to help
the farmers and the North Dakota administration with
its state bank and farm loan act and it's law to obtain
county appropriations shows what it means to have the
representatives of farmers on the job. Then, besides,
there is Commissioner Hagan with his efforts to find
jobs for the ruined farmers through the state employ
ment service and the various land leasing efforts to
help the western farmers.

Denver is catching on to the Nonpartisan League
idea OF having the public help to bring down the cost of
living. The city owned and operated a coal yard last
winter and it proved such a success that it is to be
greatly enlarged this winter. Now they are going much
farther. A general food, meat and fuel market is to
be established for the purpose Of supplying the con-
sumers with these necessaries at cost. This may. hurt
certain big interests, but it will help the people.
