The Record has no time for the dis
loyal, demagogue type of confidence
man of the Townley stripe. Neither
does it hold brief for the so-called
Big Biz. For instance, the packers
seem to be under fire right now. And
the Record welcomes thorough air
ing of the conditions surrounding
them.
We believe it is about time that
something was done to stop the pack.

unfinished products unreasonably, and
also to stop the killing and butchers
from striking for $1.1O per hour.

Sykeston News: Some day wher
we get our things together and dodge
our creditors we are going back tt
the good old U. S. A. A few months
ago we were in the army that was
supposed to be fighting for liberty
and democracy. 1t was and we behave
that it was. But the day came wher
the war was over. We. like 90 pei
cent Of the rest Of the boys, then had
happy dreams of getting out of thu
army and getting back to natural liv.
ing again.
Every boys eyes turned in just one
direction, that was toward his OLD
home, for he thought that was the
greatest spot on earth. There seems
to grow within everyone love for his
home state. We were no exception tc
that rule. And the name of North
Dakota sounded mighty good to us.
We had read great deal about the
terror of the bolsheviki in Russia and
in other European countries and how
the property Of the thrifty and pros.
porous had been conlscated by these
anarchists and given to the lazy and
shiftless. This made us glad that
home was in the good old u. S. A.,
the country that our forefathers
fought for that all might have the
right to Life, Liberty and Pursuit OF
Happiness. But when we got hons
we found things had changed. Thrift
mess and ambition were put under
bonds. Our own business had been
sonfiscated by the followers of bank
rupt socialist leader, who was under
going a trial for traitorous utter
ances in another state.
We found our own neck Of the
woods in a state Of chaos, legitimate
business in general being wrecked
and all the power of law being put
in the hands of few radical politi-
clans.
We believe that some day the state
will right itself and that the people
will become normal again. We feel it
our duty to stick by and help bring
that condition about. but the lure Of
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Hap
piness is strong to one who is just be-
ginning to live, so we have decided to
go back to the United States and
make another beginning. Whistler it
will be east, south or west we are not
sure, but the odds seem to be in favor
of west.

For some years, North Dakota's po-
litical king has been making the well
ken ring with howls against ''the mid
die man." The crooked bankers, the
retailers, ETC., were the monsters that
made unnecessary expense between
producer and consumer.
But, our good, old Bank of North
Dakota is exempt, it seems.
Townley told the people hare be-
fore election "that they could get all
the money they wanted" at Az to
Ak per cent from the new bank.
How about the facts?
We have before us copy of the
blank headed Appointment of Agent,
Real Estate Loan" sent out by the
Bank of North Dakota to applicants
for real estate loans. And, incidsn-
tally the bank can't make chattel
loans, which are the important sour
ces of trouble today.
Under the provisions Of this new
blank, before loan is made some
ordinary bank must be named as the
farmers agent to negotiate the loan,
prepare papers and collect interest,
etc. For this service fee Of S. in
cash and V per cant per annum on
the amount of loan unpaid must be
paid to the local bank. IS 8
Hence. the local banks become the
go-between for the Bank Of North
Dakota and the man wanting a loan
must do just as they have been doing
in the past for the eastern money.

The Record man is not a believer in
government ownership, but it is GER
tainty that this state is slated to try
1t out. The die is cast. We have done
what we honestly could to avoid the
situation. But there is no use in deny
ing the facts.
But to have government ownership
is one thing, and to have crooked
political machine bleeding the state
at the same time is another. 1t is un
to the thinking people of the state
to get together and divorce the one
from the other.
There are men in this state who
will not bow to Mr.. Townley's dicta-
tions. Yet, they will try to efficiently
try out the ownership program. Those
men are the hope of the state for the
next few years.
And. we believe that the last thing
the present gang will actually put
across is the main issue Of the past
campaigns, the mill and elevator as
ISOLATION. No, that is too valuable "a
campaign issue to lose. When it's in
operation, then there will be nothing
to hold the farmers in line for Town
ley. But, by sliding along for anoth-
er year, the league machine will have
the people who want the elevators
where they will be required to stand
for Townleyism in order to avoid pos
sibility of defeat Of the elevator
scheme.
