NEWSPAPERS OF THE STATE ON
TPTAJ

The newspapers Of North Dakots
have asked nothing of the Legislative
assemblies for many years. They go1
nothing and were left alone. Thi;
time they got something that they die
not ask for.
On July !, unless the people of the
state in special election, decide 9th
erwise, the printing commission Of
North Dakota will designate one news
paper in each county, as the medium
for the publication of legal notices OF
every nature, from legal processes tc
commissioners proceedings, and the
other $50 newspapers of the state
that are justly entitled to share OF
this patronage under the old laws, will
get nothing. Such is the verdict OF
the recent legislative assembly.
If the newspapers are wrong IN pre-
supposing that they have been Of some
service to their communities or OF
some value to their government in
such a crisis as we have Just come
thru, they will find it out when the
vote are counted at the special cleo
ton.
On the other hand, if publishing is
considered to be legitimate business
and one printer has just as good a
right to live as another, and if the PEG.
pie feel that it is worth something tc
a community to have a newspaper
numbered among its enterprises, they
will so state by their ballots.
No other trade, profession or call
ing in North Dakota can boast of the
opportunity of getting first hand in
formation from the people as tc
whether or not it is essential. Mer
continue at their work day after day
not knowing, beyond the dictates OF
their own consciences, whether or not
they are performing a service to
humanity or whether or 11bt they arc

TOWNLEY THROWS DOWN THE
= GAUNTLET.

Mr.. Townley has thrown down the
gauntlet and he is now due for a
mighty interesting battle with such
we'll known league leaders as Tom
Hall. Bill" LANCER, Auditor kositzky
and State Treasurer Olson, and there
can be only one outcome-Mr. Town
ley must relinquish his leadership to
leaders who will conduct the affairs
of this wonderful organization in q
safe and sane manner. TOwnley has
been of much service to the league.
AS an organizer, the country has per-
haps never produced one with half as
much ability. He has been a marvel
for organization and has succeeded in
building up one Of the strongest farm
ers' organizations in the history of
the United States, but months ago, it
was seen that the same ability that
he displayed as an organizer would
prove his undoing as leader. And
now such prominent men in the league
as Hall, LANCER, Kositzky and Olson,
to say nothing of the hundreds of
other members of the league of consid-
cradle prominence, see that if the
league is to continue to function, Mr..
Townley and the men who seek to
the state must be thrown into the dis
card. The nonpartisan league prin-
ciples are all right. The league ought
to continue to function and the farm
ers should become the beneficiaries Of
many reforms which they have long
needed. The Independent believes in
farmers organizations and in the pur-
poses of the nonpartisan league, but
we never have believed in some Of Mr..
Townley's wildcat schemes which he
has attempted to foist upon the people
of our state. This paper has said time
and again that the North Dakota
farmers can be trusted to go not very
far wrong. This is an agricultural
state mainly and the farmers have
more at stake here than any other
class of people We do not look for
the downfall of the league just be-
cause our state officials have asserted
their independence Of the Townley
yoke. The league is certain to clean
its own house and ought to come out
of this present muddle stronger than
ever. There are mighty few North
Dakotans, whether they live in the
country or in towns, who can find any
reason for not supporting the league
program, the aim of which is to foster
the agricultural industry, but the
members Of the league themselves
will hardly stand for the educational
bill, the board Of administration bill,
the commissioner of immigration bill,
the redistricting judicial bill and the
newspaper bill, which Mr.. Townley
sought to foist upon the people. These
are not league measures in any sense
of the word and we are glad to see
that such men at Hall, LANCER, Ko-
sticky and Olson have the dependence
to assert themselves.

A VITAL QUESTION.

Were we really worth fighting for :?
1t will be we'll for each of us to
ponder that question before the open
ing of the Victory Loan on April 21st.
The answer will be the size of our
subscription to that loan, not in dollars
but in proportion to our financial abil-
ity.
Over and over the story comes to
us from those who are now coming
back of how in the mud and suffering
of the trenches; in the long she'll
shattered silence of the night watches;
in the short, sharp struggles; in the
endless monotony of training and
waiting and working; in the shell
holes and on the hospital cots, the one
cheerful, sustaining thought was Of
the folks at home.
Service Of country and for an ideal
meant to the average only protection
and service for the ''home folks" Gal
liant performances were easy because
they would please the dear ones across
the Atlantic. Over and above and
through all the heroism ran the thot
of doing credit to those whom they
were fighting for and were willing to
die for
With childish eagerness, strong men
waited for and devoured news from
home. With high strung nerves they
listened to reports of the progress of
former Liberty Loan drives and when
they heard how the "home folks" went
cover the top" those boys went back
to their grim business of war with re-
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1919-03-27
worth fighting for?
The history of the .'ictory Liberty
Loan will record the answer.

Steel has dropped to the extent of
from fifteen to twenty per cent. Steel
has always served as basis for figur-
ing prices on other commodities, SO it
IS reasonable to expect that there will
be sharp drop in many other lines.
The drop in the price of steel ought
to stimulate building activities notice
ably. Those who have been planning
on building, ought to bring their mon
ey out from cover and start opera
tlons. Presuming that one might
build little cheaper in another year
or so, one ought to consider that in
the meantime he will be losing what
profits he might be making from his
building. Labor ought to unite with
capital and encourage building opera
lions. The main thing now is to get
work started and then after operations
are well under way, there is always
time to talk Of an advance in wages if
an advance is justified and capital is
able to meet the demand. There are
any number of large building projects
under consideration in Minot, which
if carried out would make business
good in all lines. The Second Nation
al Bank is contemplating a six or
eight story block. The Grams bak-
cry has the foundation completed for
q splendid new block The contract
for the new city reservoir is about to
be let to Minot concern for nearly
100000. A large number of new resi-
dences will be constructed during the
coming summer. With thousands Of
soldiers returning to the state, there
ought to be no scarcity Of labor and it
appears that the present year is an
excellent time to build.

every commitment made in order to
win the war;" We will not be honor
ably discharged until we have loaned
our government the money it must
