BANKERS AT BISMARCK
SMILE AT BACON'S TRADE

Bankers at Bismarck, cooperating
In the establishment Of the Bank of
North Dakota were amused at an at.
tack made on the new institution by
Jerry Bacon of Grand Forks. IF Mr.
Bacon wants the real facts, he a gel
them here" said one. "A trip to Bis
marck might open his eyes,"
F. W. Cathro, director general Of the
state bank, said he could not see any
intelligent criticism in Mr.. Bacon's
letter. 81.
"The honesty and integrity of this
state are not all wrapped up in Jerry
Bacon" said Mr.. Cathro, who is a
prominent citizen Of Bottineau. IF
he's going to call everyone a crook that
doesn't view public questions as he
does, he won't get very far"
Mr.. Cathro demolished Bacon's OBJ
lection to giving the industrial. com
mission the right Of eminent domain
for establishing new industries" The
railroads have always had the right of
eminent domain" he said. "The state
also has always had it, by a provision
Of the constitution. The provision in
the new laws giving the state board
the right of eminent domain was mere.
ly repetition, and not needed, for the
state has always had the right"
MI. Cathro spoke Of how private
elevators had been handicapped by not
being able, If the railroads were op.
posed to them, Of getting a site near
the tracks. The public plants cannot
be barred by such means from suitable
locations. He also pointed out that
the capitalization Of the bank at S..
600, 900 represented only 81 out OF
each thousand of the states resources
of $4,000, 100000. Mr. Bacon said the
bond liability might bankrupt the state

monopoly welcomes leglsla-
ton which makes Il more diff

"There 10 but ONE REMEDY

municipal, state and federal
control Of those things In
which all have q common In
terest; municipal control Of
public markets; state control
Of elevators, warehouses, cold
storage plants, flour mills,
packing plants and ~creameries,,
while the federal government
takes control Of all lines Of
transportation, terminal eleva-
tors and warehouses, and all
telegraph and telephone lines
and develops 4 banking system
to enable the farmer to secure
ready funds with which to con-
duct his farm operations at
reasonable rates, on short or
long terms, a. required"
This 10 Dr.. Ladd's remedy,
arrived at after a study Of cen
dItions for many years. It is
the remedy which the farmers
organization has put into law,

Of the state. The First National Bank

friendly to the farmers program or
'to be III line politically with the pres.
ent administration.
The people Of the state, regardless
Of party lines Or occupation, win
watch with interest the new day in
state government dawning, when men
are chosen for their fitness and effi-
cheney for service rather than for the
political principles they profess or
their friendliness or enmity to any
party platform. The farmers have
learned, first, that politics and bust
ness can not be mixed.

by members of the Normal School and

Districts Have Power to Limit.
I'm establishing this system Of cir
cults, it was absolutely necessary to
appoint three more Judges. This is on
account of the Uneven distribution Of
the judges under the old law. All Of
these hold over until the completion Of
their regular terms. Thus, it was Inn
possible properly to distribute the
judges in the new districts, and it
became necessary to appoint three adj
ditional judges. Any time q judicial
district wishes to reduce the number
of judges in its district, the people
have only to ask the legislature to
pass an act reducing the judges from
three to two or two to n as the case
may be.
District Judges Are Square.
"Takeh all in all, the judicial re-
districting bill will be Of great benefit
to the people Of the whole state. In
my opinion 1t certainly should be ap-
proved at the referendum election.
The district Judges are men Of q high
order Of ability and learning, and will
compare favorably with the judges of
any state in the union. This new law
is IN no way a reflection on their
merits or fairness as judges or men
But after all, Judges are only human
like the rest Of us, and here and there
some human weakness creeps in at
times. The new law gives judges and
itigants more freedom, and therefore
affords better opportunity to do justice
and to receive It."

the interest of true religion, but
always plotting and planning
to keep on the rich and popular
side. They swap and trade with
the money power just as the po-
litical parties do, and for the
same reason. Capital offers so
many million dollars for so many
meek and obedient slaves, and
orthodox churchanity is able to
fill the order. With the crack

their heads, the faithful dupes
are driven on to slave for the

TAKE NOTICE
THE FOOL-KILLER,
HEART-TO-HEART TALK.

Now, dear readers and friends
this is a personal letter to you. !
want you to regard it as just a.
personal and just as important aS
if | had written it direct on N!
typewriter and mailed it to you Il
a sealed envelope under a two
cent stamp.
What do you think Of the linz
If talk l am giving you this time i
If you believe my New Message
contains something that thepeoplt
,ught to read and think about
:hen I want you to appoint your
self as a missionary to help spread
it among your friends. Tote this
issue around in your pocket and
read it to people you meet and
ask them what they think about
it. You will find more people
thinking along these lines thar
you might suppose. And if you
happen to strike a few who have
not yet begun to think on thest
things, this paper will wake then
up and put them to thinking.
The whole human race today is
aware of the fact that this old
earth is passing through a great
crisis, and that SOMETHING OF
far-reaching consequence to the
people must be the result. The
human mind is in a questioning
attitude, wondering if this really
is the end, and the old cut-and-
dried conceptions of what is going
to happen in the wind-up are be
ing changed rapidly.
Hence the time is ipe for this
New Message, and [ want you tC
help me spread it into every nook
and corner Of this broad land. Ii
is going to take a great deal Of
money to run this thing under
present conditions. Print paper
costs about twice what it former
ly did, and some kind of war ta1
lin the form of postage or other
wise) is going to fall heavily OF
all publishers. And besides that
l am constantly needing to ado
new machinery and office equip
ment to handle the business. Yo,
folks hustle up the clubs and II
furnish the chin-music till every
thing goes easy.
