DRAKE CLINCHEs THE ARGUMENT

Three towns on the 500 line are asking for
the state mill, each one claiming superior points
of vantage and each believing that it will land
the state-owned institution. The three are
Kenmare, Minot and Drake, and each has it's
own claims to be considered.
Minot and Kenmare see in the mill and ele-
vator great possibilities for development. They
see in the mill and elevator project an oppor-
tunlty for expansion of their communities, SO
far as population is concerned, but, more i'm
portant, an extension of trade radius. If the
mill and elevator should employ 100 workmen
this would mean 500 more citizens each one of
whom would be a consumer. This would in
crease the amount of rents paid and add to the
real estate values.
More important than all this however the mill
and elevator would attract farmers from a wide
radius. 1t is said that farmers have hauled
wheat 40 miles to get it to Drake. They would
hau! as far to get it to Minot or Kenmare if one
OF these places had the mill and elevator.
All this of course is speculative. It is theory
of what would happen if Minot or Kenmare
were to get a mill and elevator. What of Drake?
Is it seeking to apply an abstract theory? Moth
ing OF the sort. Drake knows and it knows from
experience. It knows that the present mill at
Drake, small as it has been, a wonderful thing
Tor the town. 1t sees this in increased business
IN every line. One might wonder at the good
Judgment of Minot and Kenmare in asking fol.
a mill were it not for the fact that Drake also
is asking; but you cannot get away from the
fact that Drake seeks a mill and elevator out of
the fullness of it's experience.-Ward County

FARMERS UNDERSTAND

we have enjoyed a great number of visits
with farmer subscribers to this paper who have
come in the past week to pay their annual dues.
Some were in town paying taxes and admitted
they were high, but most of them understood
inc causes that make taxes high this year. One
man canned his school tax this year was almost
as much as his total tax last wear. His hill was
$3.50: He also had his crop insured against hail.
which cost him one hundred dollars. He also said
the township road tax was pretty steep and
when these items are all deducted, yes, even the
grasshopper levy, there isn't much that they
can blame onto the state administration.-Val-
ley City Peoples Opinion.

BIZ BUSINESS TRYING TO CAPTURE
FARMER MOVEMENTS

EV1dence is plllng up every day showing what
gigantic efforts big business is making to CAP
ture and annex the various farmer movements.
"A prominent League lecturer who was recently
IN the state of Washington says that the Cham
oers OF in various towns of that state
went the limit to get the farmers of their choice
elected delegates to the National Grange con-
ventlon. These farmers were conservatives and
reactionaries closely allied with the business
interests, said this speaker. If the same thing
happened in other states it is no wonder the
Grange convention was one of the most reac-
tlonary farmers meetings in the history of the
country.
Another case is the election of J. N. Title
more, president of the Equity in Wisconsin.
Tittemore is a confirmed reactionary. At the
Wilson Industrial conference he took sides with
big business to deny labor the right of collect
i've bargaining. This stand of big business, it
will be remembered, broke up the presidents
conference. With this exploit to his credit, it is
little wonder that every reactionary organ in
Wisconsin displayed unusual interest in irving
to get Tittemore placed at the head of the Equi-
ty in that state. The lying papers Of big bust
ness entirely misrepresented the attitude of the
progressive eement of the Equity and tried to
make it appear that the Nonpartisan League
was trying to capture the Equity. In this way
they stampeded enough votes to get Tittemore
elected by a bare majority.
Big business undoubtedly is making a SUI
preme effort to stop the drift of the farmers to-
ward labor and the cause of the common people
and turn it in the direction of the great inter-
ests. The profiteers know their position is in
defensible. Like all men of guilty. conscience
they are unduly alarmed and are fighting des-
perately to fool part of the common people into
supporting them. Without the farmers support
they know their power and their graft will not
last much longer.
The Canadian farmers political movement is sweep
IND Canada. "A. "A. Moore Of the United Farmers, has
lust been elected 70 the Alberta provincial parliament
over his reactionary opponent BY : majority Of 140.

A TRUCE WITH THE DEVIL

In the midst of the present worldwide trou-
BILE and unrest there is a desperate longing in
the hearts of the people for a return to indus
trial stability, security and peace. 1t is, there
fore, not surprising that hundreds of editors
of farmer and labor papers are being misled by
a specious propaganda favoring understanding
and harmony between the people and the great
private monopolists. Harmony and understand
ing sounds good to a world torn with strife and
enveloped in uncertainty.
But of all the confusing and dangerous doc
trines ever spread from an interested and pois-
oned source none is so confusing and dangerous
as the doctrine that the remedy for the present
trouble and unrest is understanding and har-
mony between the plutocracy which governs
the world and the great mass of farmers and
workers who serve this plutocracy.
If private monopoly and unconscionable pro-
fiteering in the means of life are right, then
understanding" and Harmony with these
things is right and editors of farmer and labor
papers who advocate such Harmony" are the
prophets of the New Day. But it should not be
FORGOTTEN that to place ones self in harmony
with a thing is to accept it, yield to it and be-
come a part of it. If we are ready to so place
ourselves in relation to the great interests that
have seized and are privately exploiting the re-
sources OF the world, we should patch up a
truce with them Immediately. By so doing we
will firmly establish them in acknowledged
servitude. We will not only assign ourselves to
industrial servitude, but will assign our Defense
less and helpless children to the same fate.
Some editors have in their confused heads
the idea that private monopoly can become
right by becoming kind, considerate and benev-
olent. They picture a condition of mutual con-
c~essions" and yielding on both sides. They talk
about "fair bosses" and Square deals" in in
dustries monopolized and exploited for the bene-
fit of a few. One might as we'll advocate benev-
olent feudalism or benevolent despotism as de-
sirable conditions for humanity, as to advocate
benevolent plutocracy or benevolent capitalism.
If our present system of private monopolists
and nonproducing middlemen is wrong there can
be no talk of patching up a truce with it. You
cannot make a truce with the devil or diptheria.
The only course is a sane, firm and constructive
movement to eliminate by the use of the ballot
and the machinery of legislation the wrong and
place men in a relation with each other where
there can be real understanding and harmony
Wlthous compromise with wrong. Cooperation
and public ownership offer a system of industry
where men can function as real brothers and he
who talks of harmony and compromise with
the plutocracy in the presence of these great
movements is either a willful agent of the pluto
cracy, or a dupe, or an ignoramus.

MACHINE MADE AMERTCANJSM

VIZ Il IlIllleu 10 Cne core by the announce
Inent That a league organized to promote Amer
icanism is calling for a million volunteers and
just as we are about to rally to the colors we dis
cover IN small type under the announcement,
the league is being organized by the manufac-
tuerers. Oh, pish! Machine made Americanism,
as it were.-Farmers Sentinel, Glendale, N. D.
Tax Commissioner Wallace has put the kibosh
on the L. V. A. stories about the state admins
tration "ruining' the farmer with high taxes.
Mr. Walace's report shows that the farmers are
paying only 81 to SIS more per quarter section
IN state taxes than they paid last year. If the
l. I. A. county administration had been as much
concerned about the farmers as they pretended,
they would not nave raised local taxes on the
farmers: Instead, they have increased local tax
es IN many instances beyond the LEGAL limit and
suits will be started against them. This is a fair
sample of 1. V. A. honesty and sincerity.
Judge Amidon's decision preventing the STAN
dard Oil Company from holding up the collec-
ton of $25O,O0O in taxes owes the state pending
the outcome of a suit testing the unconsttution-
typical methods of big business in it's dealings
win the people. After announcing it had raised
the price OF gasoline on account of the oil tax.
tn1s monopoly refuses to give the money up to
the state: If this is not wholesale tax lodging,
fraud, lying, cheating and stealing, what is it?
The Coal strike has ended in a victory for the
coal miners throughout the nation. It ended q
month ago in victory for the miners and the peo-
pie IN North Dakota. Labor crushing has proved
unsuccessful and costly to the nation. It could
have been avoided if the North Dakota method
OF justice to labor and the assertion of public
rights had been followed.
Inc l. v. A. has been shedding crocodile tears
Tor the taxpayers of North Dakota. That does
not prevent it, however, from prolonginp the
special session OF the legislature by a s~enseless
filibuster and then charging the bill up to the
same taxpayers. 1t is alright for the taxpayers
to be robbed as long as the money is used to
make political capital for the ]. v. "A.
The Fargo Forum which has been bowling
because books by Trotzky have been found in
the state library, is running a history of the
war by Ludendorf, the worst Kaiserist in the
world. This paper is not consistent in it's efforts
to treat the people like children and prevent
them from reading dangerous literature.
The high price of print paper threatens to
wine out every publication in America that is
fighting big business. Big business understands
this and is beginning to chuckle through it's
Kept papers. The people are waking up too late
to the fact that monopoly over production is a
monopoly on thought and expression.
