Notwithstanding the efforts at

Restoring Constitution

Two years ago the republicans and
democrats Joined in taking the con.
troll Of the state lands and the state
school funds out of the state land
board, consisting Of the governor, the
attorney-general, the secretary OF
state and the superintendent Of pub
lie instruction and state treasurer
and placing those matters Of tremend-
GUS Importance to the people Of the
state, exclusively under the control OF
the local agent Of the political trust,
who then and now happened and hap
pens to be Governor Stewart.
The state constitution declares that
those two departments shall be un-
der control Of the state land board,
but "what's the constitution between
friends" when the bipartisan politi.
cal machine needs the plunder? A.

purpose is to establish and make pro-
vision for a voluntary peace reserve
in Montana, inaddition to the policy
provided by law, and carries an ap-
preparation Of $4,000. But it is made
clear that this is merely to pay the Of
ficers.
The fact that the measure if ad-
opted violates the fundamental prin-
ciples Of the constitution, state and
federal, should not be taken serious
ly, for after all what is a mere scrap
Of paper like the constitution, between
friends.
It is really too bad that the gentle
man from Cascade is unable to see
anything sinister in placing the peace
and liberties Of the people of the
state, and the rights Of the various
departments Of the state to function,
at the tender mercies of man like

there should be no question as to our
authority to undertake every task
here outlined.
We have the authority. We realize
the responsibility. We shall UNDER
take these tasks. The only persons
who could object to the doing Of these
things are the great private interests,
and the only reason why they object
is because they do not wish to lose
their unearned advantages so long
enjoyed by them and so long endured
by US.
It is not our wish to do any person
any injustice. We shall ask for moth
ing for which we are not ready to pay.
Heretofore, political machine,
with its headquarters in Minneapolis,
and its hired agents in our places Of
business, and its spokesmen in the
state offices, in the legislature and in
the courts Of North Dakota, has been
using the power of our own citizenship
in robbing us Of our own earnings.
We shall not seek to avenge old
wrongs. Nothing could be gained by
such effort, but we realize that we are
now responsible for our own affairs.
We shall insist that these wrongs
must stop.
Cooperation Asked For.
We know that the tasks we are un-
dertaking here must also be UNDER
taken in every other state and in the
end must be supported by the joint
action Of all the states if the full
fruitage of our endeavors is ever real
lied. We know that this cannot be
accomplished without the co-opera-
tion Of organized labor.
We therefore make our appeal to
all useful people engaged in all the
industries of our country for all are
victims of the same sort of wrongs as
those from which we seek deliver
ance.
For this reason, we ask our fellow
citizens everywhere to be interested
in our proceedings, to be informed as
to the measures we shall adopt and
SO far as they shall be deemed wise,
to aid in their adoption elsewhere.
The Montana nonpartisan., 1919-02-15

storage plants, stock yards, packing
houses and flour mills within or with
out our state in order to escape from
the extortion Of private monopoly in
storing, in manufacturing, and in car
rying our products to the consumers
Of the world.
We propose, as far as the consum-
ers within our own state are con-
cerned, to establish markets through
which our citizens can exchange their
products among themselves, adding
to the prices which the farmers get
only the cost Of transportation, stor-
age and delivery in getting these
products to the people of the cities
and towns.
Light, Heat and Power.
A large share of the state has
most valuable coal deposits. The fuel
monopoly has been able, SO far, to
leave these resources undeveloped and
to charge most unfair prices for the
use of these "gifts of nature" lying
undisturbed under our own feet.
We propose to use the authority
and credit Of the state to make avail
able for our own use these vast de-
posits. We propose to provide bet
ter terms Of employment and certain
ly better housing conditions for the
workers who dig this coal out Of the
ground. We propose to add to the
price which the workers get, only the
cost of transportation and delivery
and in that way to have for our own
use our own fuel and at that price.
If the conclusions already arrived
at by our School of Mines shall be con-
firmed by further experiments in the
production of Ignite briquettes with
gas as a by-product and the gas used
in the production Of power, we shall
be able to provide light, heat and
power for our homes and factories
more abundantly and at lower cost
than is now done anywhere in Amer
lea.
The Responsibility Is Ours.
In the last general election, we car
ried by a very large majority the

failure in large portions of this state
during the current year, there has not
been one default, even to the amount
of one single dollar, in all this busi-
ness. The Federal Farm Loan Bank
of St. Paul is making five hundred
dollars day clear profit, which in the
end will be credited as part payments
on the farmers loans while loaning
money to the farmers and charging
them only one half of one per cent
more than the bank is paying for the
money it lends. We propose that these
vast savings shall be retained in the
hands Of the useful people Of North
Dakota not only on the twelve mil
lions Of dollars Of farm loans provid-
ed for through the Federal Farm
Loan bank, but also on the three hum
dred nine millions of dollars of out
standing farm mortgages, and we fur
ther propose to render the same sort
of service for home builders and own
ers in the cities and towns of this
state.
Our state produces and sends out
of the state each year something like
three hundred millions Of dollars
worth Of products, North Dakota
leads every other state in America
in the production of wheat, flax and
barley, while six hundred billions of
tons Of coal are in its available coal
deposits. That is the basis Of our
credit. With this as the foundation
of our business, we propose to use
this credit through our state govern
ment, in such way that the working
people in the towns and the farmers
in the country will be able to secure
credit at exactly what it costs the
state to provide it.
In doing this, we shall add to the
prosperity Of our state and enormous
ly benefit the real lenders of money,
for with these added advantages to
our borrowers, payments will be made
easier and more certain, thus adding
to the value of North Dakota farm
mortgages held as security by these
money lenders.
Elevators and Flour Mills.
We propose to establish elevators,

Taxation.
A notable hearing before the joint

had an opportunity to express their
