J0SEPHGILBERT
HEADSLEAGUE'S
WEEKLY BUREAU
Name of Former Minnesota
Manager for Nonpartisan Ap-
pears on Press Literature >

Joseph Gilbert, former state man
ager for the Nonpartisan league in
Minnesota, and who is now codefend-
ant with President A. C. Townley in
criminal action alleging violation OF
the Gopher espionage laws, which re-
Gently was argued in the Minnesota
supreme court, appears as chief OF the
Nonpartisan' league newspaper bureau
in North Dakota in the articles Of in
corporation filed with the secretary or
state by the newest OF the leagues
Farmer Press organizations.
The new concern is the Ward COun-
ty Farmers Press, corporation which
purposes to establish a weekly news
paper at Minot to be made the Off
cial state, county and local legal Or
gan for Ward county and to become
recipient of some $4,000 per annum
in public patronage under the terms
of the Brinton newspaper bill
Plain Grab Covered Up.
Even more important changes than
the substitution Of the name OF Jo-
seph Gilbert for that of Job Wells
Brinton is a change in the new arti-
cles of Incorporation of these Farm
ers Press" league controlled weekly
newspapers which would give the
holders of preferred stock equal vot-
ing strength with the owners of the
common. Heretofore no holder of pre-
ferred stock has been entitled to more
than single vote, no matter how
many shares he may have possessed.
Under the amended articles of incor'
poratiOn holders of preferred are en-
titled to vote for each share the
same as the owners of common.
Old Plan Was Good.
Under the original plan all of the
common stock was held by the pro
moters, and its possession and the
right to vote every share separately
was cunningly devised to give them
control of the corporation, a fact
which ordinarily was not much dwelt
upon at the time the sale of preferred
stock was being conducted. This the
promoters, in addition to receiving a
commission of 10, Is or 20 per cent for
the sale of the preferred stock. which
has run all thefway from $40 to $685.
900 in the case of weekly newspapers
organized by the league, and to more
than 100000. in the case Of one daily
newspaper which the league has or
ganized on this basis, the promoters
W tilout expense to themselves, have
retained control of the company into
which the farmers have put their good
money. Apparently the untoward ac'
tivities of the blue sky commission in
Investigating other league enterprises
has resulted in a change which ap-
pears, on the surface, to give the
afrmer an even chance for his ante.
