thave only been raised twice as much.
We wonder who is supporting big
business and how much more the
farmer is going to get for his land
now that his valuation has been rails
ed six times as much? In other words
lis the farmer going to be able to get
any more for his land4or is he simply
going to pay tax on six times the val
uation to help support this new day
that has been thrust upon him. We.
rather are inclined to the belief that
it is the latter. The only thing that
the farmer or the business man is
getting out Of this dawn of new day
is the satisfaction Of providing soft
berths for an army Of long haired
socialists who are boarding at the
best hotels, getting $3.50 rooms to
go to bed in, while the farmer and the
business man " is asked to give
this a trial. We are doing just this
giving it a trial and it is becoming
obnoxious and unsatisfactory. If a.
lot Of this money was given to our
home boys who, have been raised on
the prairies of the state instead Of go
ing to outsiders who have no interest
in the state only so long as their job
holds good, it would not be SO bad.
Yes, indeed, this is the> dawn of
new day-to a lot Of fellows who
never could earn meal ticket for
themselves until Mr.. Townley came
along and handed one to them.

"Valley City Citizen" He resembles
very much the devil fish who, in order

dirty inky substance that blackens
the water and apparently hides it from
view. So it is with one of these per-
sons who are too cowardly to sign
their names to a criticism of the
Times-Record. They throw out their
inky camoufage behind a monde
plume-just like the bunch which is
sowing the seeds Of discord and hat
red around the state under the guise
of state socialism. We don't care how
much they criticise US SO long as they
do it in the open. We do not like get
ting stabbed in the back without a

ley City Citizen, is a fellow, probably,
whose past will not bear too close a
scrutiny and he figures that it is bet.
ter to remain in the dark like thief
in the night than to get tangled up
in newspaper fight. He is wise in

his committee assignments, with the
exception Of the last season, when the
mon partisan league was in full con
troll, have always been the best, no
other member having any better. He
was first elected as progressive re-
publican and has not wavered since
that time. He has stood for the things
he believed to be right and passed
through the ordeal Of the 1917 SEES
sion, when the N. p. League used eve
ry device known to crafty politicians,
without blemish. His record is one
that his constituents as we'll as him-
self can feel proud Of. During his
years of service he has always been
safe and sane and was never found
chasing rainbows. His experience is
worth a great deal to Barnes county
in the troublesome times that will be

record proves that he has always been,
fair and for that reason many leag-
uers in the district, regardless Of their
political differences, will feel that
they can cast their votes for him and
have their interests safe guarded. He
has been mentioned as possible sue
cessor to Congressman Geo, M. Young
and others have been suggesting him
as candidate for governor against
the N. P. League. His varied bust
ness and legislative experience would
fit him for any office to which he might
