LIBERTY OF THE 1875 BRAND

The people reap what they SOW. If
they install bad leadership they reap
The harvest of bad laws and high tax
es.
The people pay the price of in
competent leadership and all kinds
of business and industries suffer from
them.
But for intelligence applied TO
government the world would lapse
into anarchy and perhaps into bar
barism.
The state or the nation, nay ev-
en- the city or county, rise no higher
than the character of their leaders.
The county and its industries and
development depend on sound per-
| manent policies and honest leader
ship.
The county is watching the expert
| ment in state socialism in North Da-
kota under the guise of farmers
| movement
We tried some of the same expert
ments in 1892 under the name of the
Populist movement led by Sockless
Jerry Simpson.
We have the rule of the BOlshevik
in Russia and the l. w. w. pleads for
| one union and the characterization
of industries.
We had the Knights of Labor and
the Farmers Alliance and the Dennis
KS,rney Sandlot party in the past &c
years.
But they have all gone their way
and the mournful procession of false
prophets. quack doctors and the
demagogs reappears.
But Liberty and free institutions
of the 1776 brand survive and tn,
noble statue in-her honor still light!

THE CALL TO SERVICE

There is much talk soing in the
country now by seers and others who
are preaching radical changes in gov
ernment What is the matter with
our present government? Our consti-
tuition gives us inalienable, inviolable
rights of personal security. personal
liberty and private property. To
change II. as advocated by some,
would be to disregard these splendid
privileges, no matter how pure a
theory some forms of government,
such as Socialism, may be based upon
History has taught rs that the admin
istration of these is not American In
the fact that Russia and the !. w.
WIS of America are one and the same
thing-all disregarding rights OF
property, personal security and per-
sonal liberty. To what lengths they
have gone in Russia in the disregard
of personal security and liberty Is
well known. There Is nothing Amer
lean in this. The American people
do not need new form OF govern
ment, but rather they do need tC
awake to the true signs of the times
namely, the call to service in the
highest sense OF the word.-R. II
Ballard of Los Angeles.

FREE VACCINE FOR
TYPHOID INNOCULATION
BY DR.. A. r. LEWIS,
State Health Commissioner

state ftealtn commissioner.
No man is infallible. We all make
mistakes. The state department of
nublic health may be erring in its
drive to stop typhoid fever in this
state by innoculating our citizens
free OF charge, but l don't think So
The reason for this bulletin is
that I have received few com
plants. mostly from doctors. against
spending the states monev to in
noculate the people of the state
against ore of the most ravaging dis
eases known to man. Our offer in
this drive is that to those Who are
unable to pay their physicians TO
have the vaccine administered the
state will protect them from sickness
and death for two or three years free
of charge.
Now I want 20 ask. in all kindness
and fairness, what these friendly
critics can offer as a better substi-
tute way of spending the few cents
that each treatment costs? Can they
not realize that for every case of
tvphoid fever we prevent diiiny ard
after this drive that the state is saw
ing hundreds of dollars in loss of
labor cost of treatment, etc?
And do they not believe that there
's no hotter wav that / can spend a
varv small portion of the money al
lotted to my department than in
helping the man of meagre means
| to save himself and his wife and
babies from disease and death? That
's NV view. at least, and I am going
- hew - that mark as long as
am commissioner.
Tho typhoid innoculation cam
paign will continue through August.
You owe 1t to yourself. your family
your town. your state to avail your
se'f Of the states offer. / am
pleased and honored to be at your
service in this matter and I am sure
that vast majority Of our citizenry
Is with me.

county health commissioner for
Beaver county. Ask him concerning
the free typhoid innoculation.

NATIONAL THRIFT CAMPAIGN
WHAT CAN WE DO WITHOUT?

When the savings division of the
'reasurv department appointed DR.. j.
Stanley Brown. of Joliet, Illinois. in
charge of a thrift campaign in the
schools organizations throughout the
country began to formulate independ-
ent campaigns through other chan
neIs.
In Chicago a Do-With-Out club OF
national scope has been formed to
further the savings habit. and is fur
nishing free membership buttons
and pledges to those in any part OF
the country who wish to join and
save money for some definite pur-
pose. and who send stained addressed
envelopes to headquarters, 634-635
40 South Michigan avenue. Chicago
for return literature. There are nc
membership dues and no expense tc

Mrs. Roy Dickey. former editor
of one of the national magazines, or

| the war as part of her work in con
nection with the woman's committee

UTILITY RsTrS AND BREAD
PRICES

The question of just rates for pub
lie utility companies is of absorbing
interest to every community In the U.
s. today
In Denver the mayor was recent
iy elected to office on the pledge
that he would reduce car fare from
6 cents to 5 cents. He did. and the
company was forced to reduce wages
to what they were when the cent
fare was in effect This lasted but
few days and fares were increased
In San Francisco the municipal
street railways must increase fares to
6 cents to meet increased payroll or
,axpayers make up losses.
In Boston, under municipal man
agemcnt. the Boston Elevated has
had its rates raised from cents to
10 cents by successive stages in the
hone of meeting the growing deficit.
Yet In Kansas City the authorities
refuse to grant a cent fare to meet
the greatly increased cost of operation
and the working people and other
citizens threaten violence If the
slight advance is granted
II Is hard to understand such rea-
soning. No public official would dare
run for office on the promise that IL
elected he would reduce wages to
nre-war scale, neither would he dare
intimate that cost of farm products
and manufactured goods be reduced
to pre-war prices.
Political control and starvation
rates and regulations brought the
railroads to the verge of bankruptcy.
nl 90
ton is accomplishing a like result
with utilities.
Plain horse sense tells anybody
that increased utility rates follow in
creased wages and material costs lust
as surely as increased bread prices
follow increased wheat prices.

TIME FOR THE FARMER TO
THINK

Does the average farmer really
want government operation of pack
ing houses. stock yards, refrigerator
cars and marketing of his farm pro
ducts. as proposed by the Federal
Trade Commission and legislation
now before Congress?
Has any class of property in
creased in value as much as farms In
the past ten years, and has any oc-
cupation been more profitable than
farming in the past FIVE years?
An item from Chilicothe. Missouri
states that farms in that section that
sold for s125 an acre two months age
are selling for $3.50 to s175 per acre
This state of affairs is practically
true of the entire agricultural area oi
the west.
We had government operation oi
railroads for year and a half. Have
their values as property increased In
value like farms?
The fact is railroad bonds and
stocks which represent the property
have shrunk in values in sums reach
ing into billions while farm mort
cages command premiums at low
rates of interest.
Does the farmer want government
operation of the manufacturing ant
distributing end of agricultural pro
duction, such as marketing live stocl
and other farm products?

SCHOOL. DAyS

Soon your boys and girls will be
tripping off to school again. For
nine months they will reap the ad-
vantages and face the dangers of
school life. For there are dangers
galore.
The principal one is from conta-
gious diseases. When children are
packed into crowded room and one
gets disease. the others are apt to
contract it. Influenza is one of the
chief things to guard against this
autumn.
The best thing l can suggest is that
every teacher in the state shall see
to it that every window in her school
room is open all the time during the
mild weather of autumn and that the
pupils are urged to have their bed
room windows the same way. Moth
ers must see to it that the children
are well and sanely fed before they
leave in the morning Plenty to eat
and plenty of fresh air will keep
the children in the pink of condition
and make them less open to the at
tacks of the influenza which undoubt-
edly will recur this fall.
Keep the little ones dry and clean
and they'll avoid colds, which lead to
influence an -neumonia. Dry feet
clean bodies. nlentv % eat and plenty
of fresh air-.hat's easy enough, isn't
it? 1t MAJ save your child's life

Health Commissioner.

BACON, FLOUR AND EGGS IN
NORTH DAKOTA

The Nom Partisan League now has
full control of North Dakota, lock,
stock and barrel.
1t is quietly carrying on its organ
ization plans in other states from
Nebraska to Nevada and Washington.
The League capitalizes unsettled
conditions, labor agitation and high
cost of living to further its socialistic
plans for class control of government
in the interest of a privileged few
at expense of general taxpayer.
There is no attempt made to lower
cost of living for the consumer, but
merely to increase profits of producer
by having the state furnish large
part of the business machinery nee
essary for handling farm crops.
The direct result of its activities
will be greatly increased taxation
burdens and multiply state govern
ment overhead expense.
| The farmers of North Dakota will
charge Just as much for hogs and
Just as much for grain in addition to
receiving special privileges from
state, not granted TO other lines of
industry.
The public, or the down trodden
masses, as the league leaders like
to call them, will pay just as much
for bacon, flour and eggs in North
Dakota as elsewhere, and in addition
they will dig up the millions in taxes
necessary to maintain a class con-
trolled state government.
Other states can afford to tread easy
on this proposition.

THE DUMB" PLAN OF CONTROL

The so-called Plumb plan, or what
might more appropriately be called
tho "dumb" plan, for railroad control
is as brazen in point of selfishness as
it is stupid in point of acumen.
In one breath we are told that the
railroads "should be run for service
and not for profit" and in the very
next breath that "the profits should
be divided among the employees, the
operators and the public"
In other words, the brotherhoods
demand that the public put up $20,-
O0,0O0, 900 and buy the railroads and
in turn the brotherhoods will "put up"
onc-third of the directors, and conde-
scendingly take one-third of the prof
its in addition to their wages, a one
sided bargain to say the least.
What would happen the public, the
railroads, the revenue, the rates and
the service after that is not vouch-
safed, but it is easy to guess.
1t would be just as reasonable for
the packing house employees, for the
miners, for employees in the factories
and workshops and on the farms of
this country, to demand that the pub
lie put up the money, buy the pack
ing houses, mines, factories and farms
VI tIt OIltcu otdttS siiiu VI
bolshevize them, as for railroad men
to ask that this be done for them.
The public already owns the post.
Offices and postal service and why not
the postmasters, postal clerks, mail
carriers and other attaches or en-
ployes of the postal department band
themselves together and demand that
they. be allowed to name one-third OF
the directors" of that department
and grab one-third of the profits in
addition to their wages! What is the
difference between this and the
''dumb plan?
The public is not going to be
caught in any such trap. If the time
shall come when the people desire tc
exercise ownership and control of the
railroads they will enter upon that
plan with intent of full control ano
there will be no more partnership thar
there is about ownership and opera.
ton of the postal system. Until sucl
time. the people will continue the eX
ercise of their sovereign right to reg
ulate and control railroad service foi
the public good.
The distinguishing aspects of th'
"dumb" plan are selfishness, stupid
ity and impudence.
