Articles Filed.
Articles of incorporation of the
Fremtiden Publishing company were
recently filed with the secretary of
state, the company being capitalized
at $4,000, shares being placed at the
par value of $50 each. The incorpor-
ators are all well-known League and
Equity men.
The first board of directors consists
of Claristen Arneson, Murdoch, Mimi;
E. P. Skaiem, Audubon, Mimi; Lars
Olson, Candy, Mimi, all League men,

John Gran, Spring Grove, Minn.,
prominent in Equity and League cir
cles in southern Minnesota, and Doc
tor Henrik Shipstead, Glenwood,
Minn., League candidate for congress
in the last primary election.
"Fremtiden" is launched in order to
meet the demand for newspaper in
the Norwegian language that will give
a fair editorial consideration of the
farmers organizations, a field that
has in the past been sadly neglected.

all educational authority in a cabinet
member at Washington. Bishop Rice's
protest against the measure came in the
shape of letter read Sunday at st.
Mary's Cathedral and in all Catholic
churches in Vermont. Bishop Rice also
wrote at some length on the league of
nations and the attitude people should
have toward it.
Bishop Rice condemned the Smith bill,
which already has invoked protests from
leading national educators. on the
grounds that it took the control of edu-
cation from the state and thus inter
fered with the rights of parents to have
their children educated as they saw fit.
According to the provisions of the bill,
there is to be a cabinet member who is
to arrange the system of education for
the entire United States. He will have
the right of telling private institutions
what they shall teach. All teachers
must be picked according to his dictates
and all branches of studies arranged to
his satisfaction.
Bishop Rice stated that by the Smith
bill education would be brought into the
maelstrom of politics and subjected to
the varying changes of administration,
etc. He urged the people to look into
the matter carefully and if it did not
meet with their satisfaction to make
known their desires to the congressman
and senators from Vermont.
The letter from Bishop Rice, who has
proved himself in the past to be a
learned scholar and sharp student of
modern conditions, explained the Smith
bill in some detail. The distinguished
prelate compared the conditions that
might be caused by the new bill to the
autocratic measures used in Germany
by which an intelligent people were 50
educated from the Prussian stronghold
in Berlin to forget their natural in
kultur. In Germany, said the bishop
the people could not say how their chill
dren were being educated. The govern
ment, which could never hope to be
come familiar with the peculiar need
of each community, dictated an auto.
cratic system of education and the
Smith bill. if passed, will bring about
somewhat similar situation in the
United States.
Another issue on which the head of
the Catholic diocese in Vermont took
a decided stand was the proposed
league of nations. In his letter he ar
gued for a closer individual study of the
covenant so that the people of Vermont
might, with an intelligent grasp of the
problem, notify their representatives.
I'M Washington how they felt in regard
to the matter.

The Real
Causes of
Poverty

arthur Ellt Hungerford in Leslie's.)
Amazing facts have been brought:
to light as to the apparent causes OF
poverty and misery in the city OF
Baltimore as the result of study
means of municipal appropriation.
They know into a cooked hat many
of the heretofore generally accepted
"chief causes of poverty"
IT has been found that disease
sickness or other physical handicaps
were the chief cause in forty-seven
per cent of the cases studied. Mora!
handicaps, or wickedness as some
choose to call them came second
with a record Of 25 IS per cent. The
two together make up nearly three
quarters OF the entire number Of
families considered,
Economic handicaps, old age and
large families play rather smali
part of the troubles of those studied,
Approximately sixty per cent OF those
needing help we're comparatively
young, that is between eighteen and
forty years, Drunkenness and heavy
drinking play a much smaller part
than was heretofore thought. The
report shows that in only l4s Eases
were they reported as the chief cause
But few large families sank below
the poverty line. The average size
of the 1868 families studied was three
persons.
The brains, experience and science
of the efficiency engineer, the ac-
countant, the business men, the col
lege professor, the trained social
worker and the experience of the in
digent themselves, were called into
play in this effort to get at the things
which cause men and women and en-
tire families to lose their independ-
ence. In addition, use was made of
the latest mechanical equipment for
tabulating the figures and facts gath
cred. The idea was to get at the
causes of poverty and misery, and by
removing them to make Baltimore a
better, happier city.
As far as is known, it is the most
elaborate and comprehensive study
ever made along these lines in the
United States. 1t is believed to cover
the largest number Of cases. It is
probably the first time a municipal
appropriation was granted for such q
purpose.
Small families are more conducive
