The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1919-03-07

The Independent Voters Association
movement is growing very rapidly
these days and there, will be some
thing doing along political lines ID
she next ninety days.. This organiza,
ton was born for the express plfs
pose Of heading of this rank social
istic propoganda that has the state by
the throat and to organize SO that
when the legislature has gotten
through with it's work of passing
bills that will tax people to- the limit,
referendum petitions will be put in
circulation and if the tone of the
people continues along present lines
there is no question but what many
of these bills will be killed by the
peoples vote. There will be no trou-
BILE about getting fifteen thousand
signers to the petitions nor to getting
thirty thousand signers, because we
have no guarantee that If fifteen
thousand do sign they will be refer
ended, the governors promise: to- the
contrary Notwithstanding. The gov
ernor can easily make a promise but
when it came time to present the Pc
sitions with fifteen thousand signers
on them, we would be told that it was
unconstitutional and that the consti-
tuition requires thirty thousand, SO
you see the position we would be in.
/ The supreme court would hold with
the constitution in this case and then
che people would have to go out and
get thirty thousand signers and do it
all over again. Let's do it right from
the start then there will be no slipping
up on the matter. The people are in
no mood to stand excessive taxation
as proposed by the league bills and
they are ready to take vote on the
proposition most any time and when
they get chance believe us there
will be something doing. When the
time comes to circulate the petitions
for referendum sign them and let
the people rule.
Speaking about organizing and TAX
ing over these banks in various plac-
es in the state A. C. Townley says in
a letter published in the North Da-
kota Leader, that the league has
noting to do with any of these banks
and that anybody organizing the same
lin the name of the league are crooks
and should be prosecuted. Then we
read where Jack Hastings, one OF the
high finance experts, who has been
getting this rake off on bank organiza-
tions, and is prominently mentioned
as a5 a5candidate for the management Of
the Bank of North Dakota, says under
oath before the state banking board
at Bismarck that he was ordered sent sent
to Valley City to organize and take
over the American National Bank,
Now either Townley or Hastings is
Lying, which sis it? It%does not make
much difference who the liar is, We do
know that in every case where bank
1 has been purchased that the men who
have done the business are Mr.. Town
|ley,g aides and ASST and lad
|dition toS that We have conclnsiy seyi.
Hence that they are extra ssharp dnan..

Edent of friend ':Townley, the peoples
friend It appears that little Arthur
Was making speech in the twin cit
Eiea few days ago in the interest Of
Wilcox, Che nonpartisan candidate for
stat seaat tor, q special election being
fcaHsd the va aeancy. d During the
course, Of his brilliant socialist <ad-
dress, the. leader Of the North Dakota
farmers and the big, boss of North
Dakota made the statement that in
North Dakota the red flag or any flag
could be raised and unfurled in that
state. There were lot of returned
soldier boys in that audience and one
young patriot who had seen much SER
vice shouted out damn you, what is
the matter with the United States
flag, that is the only flag to fly in this
country" and other words to that ef-
feet. Other soldiers took up the bat
lie cry and from that time on Ar
hur G. Townley could not get word
n edgeways. 1t became bedlam and
the more the boys got worked up over
the matter the worse it got for this
great financier and champion of hu
man liberty at so much per, and he
had to beat it out of the back doc
Of the building and was escorted to a
onveyance by the police and q:
away from there as soon as possible.
t It is not safe to wave the red flag of
socialism in the face of the soldier
ooys and when they get back fro1
over there there will be differen
story to tell around these parts an,
don't you forget that. The North D.
kota legislature, dictated to and con
trolled by the brassiest bunch of Boil
shevikes that ever set foot on Unite
States soil, killed the bill to preven
the r;1ising of the red flag in thi
state be it said to the shame of those
members of the legislature who votet
to kill the bill The same bunch that
want the red flag of anarchy and dis
loyalty flying from the top of build
ings in this state are part and parcel
of the bunch Of get rich quick Walling-
fords who have been filching the peo-
pie of thousands Of dollars in wild
cat bank promotions, stores, etc.,
while they have been lining their own
pockets with the coin obtained under
the guise Of doing it under the label
of the nonpartisan league. 1t is need
less to say that the people of Mime
sofa elected the man opposed to the
league in that fight for the Minnesota
state senate. They don't want any
IBolshevikes in the Minnesota legls-
;lature Wish we could extend the
boundaries of North Dakota to take
in our ighboring state. e*%..s

We Can-But We Won't

We fed up on war; and Strikes and profiteerng,
and the other what-nos of the day.
We surfeited with the complaints and the gTiev-
ances of mankind
The milk of human kindness has curded and the
benevolence of charity has vanished.
We need change
We need little JOY in life.
We need to remember that there is right and a
wrong-a justice and an njusce-a straight and narrow
path and one crooked the hairy legs of the devil
What world this would be if we could all make
could dig out the Golden Rule and place its
tenets above avarice and greed above suspicion and
abuse.
We could bask in The sunshine of life and watch The
clouds roll haTnlessly by.
We could see people of supermen, guided by the
teachings of broherly love instead of by those of
quest and annexation.
And we could see the light of JOY in every heart in
every home.
We could-but we won't.
