From various parts of the county
come word that people are coming in
to hear Attorney General William
LANCER next Tuesday night and we are
very much afraid that there will be at
least twenty-five and the editor pres
ent on that night. The burning ques-
ton of the hour is what we are going
to do with the big crowd that will be
present. Bill LANCER is one of the
fighters who never lays down on his
job and all the laws to gag him or try
to close his mouth will avail nothing.
We look for some hot stuff from the
attorney general. Come early and
avoid the rush.

The democratic state central COM

did not mince words when it came
down to passing it's resolutions. 1t
favored the appointment of Former
Governor John Burke for appoint ment
to the position vacated by Secretary
resoluted strongly against bolshevism
and l. W. WIS and sat down hard on
the present reign Of socialism that is
gripping North Dakota. The demo-
Gratis have courage and conviction ard
we are glad to see them standing pat
for real Americansm. Of course the
resolutions adopted will not suit the
league press and will no doubt be-
come the target Of the league press
bureau. But they should worry.

That farmers are commencing 10
read both sides of the political Ques-
ton and are quietly thinking Tor
themselves, is evidenced by the tact
that other papers than the Nonpa:tl-
san Leader and other league papers
are not the only papers now to be
found in the homes of the farmers OF
North Dakota Their tax receipts
have convinced them that it is time
to investigate for themselves and do
their own thinking They are reading
both sides now while year ago they
would not talk to you or read any
other but league papers. Concrete
facts are coming to the fore all the
time now and as they do come to the
front these same farmers are COM
mencing to find out that all those WHO
are opposed to this state socialism
are not prevaricators--in fact many
of the opposition papers have told
the farmers the truth and they know
it. We know it hurts to have idols
shattered and ones pride is apt to be
denied when acknowledging that your
side was wrong, but many OF our good
farmer friends are doing just this
acknowledging that their leaders have
double crossed them in regard to tax
matters, and all the camoufaged eX-
plantations the league press gives them
cannot rub out the tax figures as
handed to them by the county treasur-
or who has to do his sole duty in this
matter as the law requires. Neither
the county treasurer or county audi
tor has anything to do with taxes out
side of figuring them out according
to the assessments made by the coun-
tV and state boards.

When Alex Mckenzie was boss Of
North Dakota a few years ago he was
credited with looking after the rail
roads and in seeing that they were
not hurt in the way of taNation-he
did. That was why the people of this
state voted the gang in power at that
time out. The same Alex. Mckenzie is
now running the league machine and it
might be we'll for the over taxed
farmer to remember that while he has
been raised in taxation six times the
railroads have been raised only twice.
The railroads will be returned to their
original owners after January first
and so far as taxation in this state is
concerned Alex has looked after their
interests right WELL

According to league papers the con-
viction of Comrade Townley by jury
composed exclusively Of farmers at
Jackson, Mimi, was case of persecu-
ton and nothing but political frame
up. The same pack of hounds, on
which Townley and Comrade Brinton
hold the leash, are now yelping in
chorus that the conviction Of Hagan
by Cass County jury, more than half
Of whom were farmers, is ''traverty
on justice" and another political
frame up. According to these prec-
ious speaking tubes for the Bismarck
bunch Of political highbinders, a
league leader can do no wrong, but

league, becomes TRAITOR" and a
Crook" How long will honest men
and self respecting, law abiding citi-
zens, of which the league member
not the leaders, largely composed.

State Senator Drown. of Cass coun-
ty, IS being talked of as a candidate
for congress from the First district.
He is a nonpartisan and will run on
that ticket if he decides to become a
now of that class-and that is enough.
Mr.. Drown better forget it. The first
district is going to elect a real con-
gresham next year who is in har-
mony with the better element of the
state and against state socialism. Mr.
Drown has been hand and glove with
the bunch in power, has helped to pile
the burden of taxes on the farmer
and if he is wise man he will throw
his congressional aspirations down a
deep well-if he has any-and forget
them. He has no chance.

CONSOLIDATED
RAILWAY PLAN
CALLED UNFAIR

NEW YORK, July 12-(By Asso-
c;ated Consolidation OF all
tbe railroads of the United States
into a few large systems-from II
to 25-as a possible solution of the
nations railroad problems, is oppos-
cd bv Robert S. Lovett, president
of the Union Pacific railroad, IN a
memorandum to members OF con-
gress made public here today
For a considerable period of the
var. Judge Lovett was director OF
the division of Capital Expenditures
of the government railroad admins
tration under William G. McAdoo,
as director general. In this position
from which he has since resigned,
Judge Lovett had charge of all I'M
progements and extensions.
The effect of the proposed consoli-
dation would be in his opinion "to
impair the credit of the strong road,
instead of improving the credit of the
weak road. The inevitable effect
would be to reduce the average OF
the credit of all the railroads.
Denies Congress Right
Congress-" he asserted, has no
right to compel one railroad to con
solidiate with another. II may give
one the right to acquire the property
of the other by condemnation but 1t
