questions. We had practically decld-
ed to answer Mr. Olsberg's letter yes
terday but figured that perhaps some
gas consumer might say something
about the matter, but this one does
ask some pertinent questions that
should be answered. The purchase OF
the gas plant is one of vital import
ance to the people of this city and all
the facts in the case should be made
public. Mr.. Olsberg admits that the
council and the council committee have
all the facts in the case. If this is SO
why don't they use a little printers
ink in putting the facts before the
people Of the city. The Times-Record
will not charge a cent for publishing
the facts so that the tax payers will
have no cost to pay in this direction.
If the city is not in shape to purchase
the plant, say so, in cold English, and
let's cut out this camoufage. If the
purchase of the plant would be a good
thing for the city it would be a good
thing for the people to know just

They advocate instead state owner

| necessitated such an unprecedented
boost in taxes has nothing to do with
| the industrial program" with which
the league has been dabbling since it
came into power three years ago.
The visible factors in this "indus-
trial program" are today the Bank of
North Dakota, which had at last re-
ports loaned about $4,000 to farm
ers and had charged them nearly half
as much for the appraisement of
loans; the home building association,
which has under way one $4,000 cot
tage, whose cost of supervision will al
most equal the cost of construction,
and the 125-barrel flour mill for which
the state paid $4,000 to be taken out
of $4,000 which Drake citizens will
subscribe for mill and elevator bonds.
Not a single million of the $19,-
500,000 worth Of state bonds which
the league proposes to issue has yet
been sold. These bonds, many of them
have not even been printed. The only
serious essay at selling any of these
securities was that made by the Bank
of North Dakota, which succeeded in
inducing state banks, under fear of
loss of prestige or patronage, to SUBJ
scribe for about $4,000 worth, and
these bends, we understand, have been
recalled.
So the doubling of state taxes has
no connection with the leagues indus
trial program. 1t has been rendered
necessary wholly by the reckless ex-
travagance of an administration which
has been forced to add 100000 per
annnum to the state pay roll in order
to make places for faithful henchmen,
from this or other states, and which
has never had enough experience in
any business. public or private to rec
ognize the value of dollar.
When the state begins paying in
terest on the 100000 worth of
bonds and when it commences the ac-
emulation of sinking fund, then we
will learn something of the direct cost
of the leagues industrial program:
which in taxes will amount to $780,
600 per annum, or an increase of about
so per cent over the $3,000,0O0 in state
taxes levied this year. In the mean
time we must not permit ourselves to
be deceived by believing that one dol
lar of our vastly increased state taxes
for 1919 is being invested in anything
that bears the least resemblance to
the farmers program out of which
the league is making its capital
