and papers took up his defense,
however, that the University Of
Montana had to take him back.
Our state universities at least
ought to be freed from the special
interest taint. Their professors
ought to be free to teach the
truth and thus exert wholesome
influence on the general public. AS
it is now their professors are less
free than those Of private colleg-
es. The boards of trustees or
boards Of education are made nm
OF prominent large interest men
or lame ducks who have been de-
feated in election, and the Rookie
feller board working through the
department of agriculture brings
still further pressure against all
independent thought.
1t is not an accident that the ar
ricultural college of North d.
kota alone dares to champion the
farmers where there is conflict
with anti-farmer interests.

A Professors Union Now.

Those who have noted the way
our universities are being combed
by reactionary boards of trustees
to weed out men Of progressive
ideas, may find some satisfaction
in the fact that the professors of
the University Of Illinois have
formed a union. More than this
they have affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor.
If the rest Of our universities
do the same and if the people on
the outside give them the proper
support, there is still some chance
Of maintaining decent higher ed
ucation for our young men and
women. What the people outside
can do is well illustrated in the re-
cent case of DR.. Louis Levine. The
University of Montana fired him
for publishing q book which show
ed that the big copper companies
were not paying their fair share
of taxes. So many organizations

The Montana Nonpartisan.

Dear Sir: l saw in your paper
that the grafters and packers are
passing a Ia wthat they want us
farmers to let our grain she'll
while We vote in September, this
year, but I'll circulate a petition
against that. If you will send me
about four petitions, I'll pass
them along to others who would
be glad to spend a day to get the
right thing.
That was about the slickest
law, believe Montana has ever
tried before, but it is just like
the man said once, 'there are
tricks in all trades" and suppose
that is what it is.
l live only one mile from the
North Dakota line. SO you see
can visit good state often and
let us stick here in Montana so
that we can get Montana on the
map too. We will stick and we
will win.
Yours very truly,
r. S. Hope to get those petit
tiOns by return mail.

in the statement I wrote to Mr.. Mann
for such a lying article" Mr.. Guam
me declared heatedly. "They are try
ing to make me say that am against
the rural credit system of North Da-
kota. The article is misleading and
unfair. I merely gave statement of
the wsrk Of the federal land bank in
North Dakota.
II am not against the rural
credit system Of North Dakota.
I'm for it, and l want everybody
to know it. Of course, permitted
them to print my statement.
"There is nothing in the statement
that I wouldn't say again, but OBJ
ject strenuously to having such an in

the editor Of the Bismarck Tribune
put upon them.
"Need State System"
"North Dakota needs q rural
credit system. There are lots Of
farmers in the state that We can't
reach for one reason or another.
That is true of every farming
state. and I'd like to see rural
credits like North Dakota's estab-
lished in all those states.
"For instance, the federal land bank
doesn't lend money on unimproved
land. The farm must be a going con-
Germ before we are permitted to make
a loan. That is the place for the
state to step in. North Dakota needs
that sort of rural credits to help these
men get on their feet. When they
have got on their feet, and farm, as
we consider farms in the federal land

GREAT MEETING:
ON REFEREN NDUM
AT Mann HOUSE
Ferris & Krogman Talk

A rousing community meeting
was held at the Mann school house
about 20 miles northwest Of Great
Falls to protest against the action
Of the last legislature in trying
to take from the people Of the
state the Primary Law.
A number of striking speeches
were heard amongst which the ef-
forts of Col. J. G. Ferris command
er Of the Grand Army and Organ
izer Krogman of Miles City fame
stood out with sharp definition.
Colonel Ferris.
Colonel Ferris spoke at length
ON the political situation and
urged the farmers to get out and
sign the petitions For" said
he Democracy is in danger. The
thing we old fellows fought so
|stubbornly for years ago, and for
which so many young lives were
given, will be lost if we do not all
fight now. The Blue and Gray,
were enemies then, but today all
that is forgotten, we are all merg-
ed in one great army. The Grand
Army of the New Democracy. Now
the fight is on and like good sol
diers we must deploy our forces
in such manner that victory will
perch upon our banners. Let us
organize, let us be educated, let
us act!''
Krogman Speaks.
Organizer Krogman's remarks
were confined almost entirely to
organization and the necessity Of
registering but that did not pre-
vent him from developing a little
about the platform and principles
Of the League. He dwelt at some
length with the proposed storage
elevator at Great Falls and point
ed out how the thing was likely to
fizzle after all. Speaking along
the line Of the League Platform,
Krogman said, "The state must
own and control its flour mills,
elevators, packing plants and 9TH
er public utilities, before any
real relief can come from the eco
nomic troubles which afflict us. -

The Bismarck IN. d. Tribune and
other anti-farmer papers have been
printing recently stories intimating
that E. G. Quamme, president Of the
Federal Land bank Of St. Paul, has
been attacking the Bank Of North Da-
kota, established through the action
of the recent North Dakota legisla-
ture.
These newspaper stories have borne
heads like EARN Bank Replies to
Attacks on Farm Loan Bank" etc.
Shown one of these articles last
week by a representative of the Min
nesota Leader, Mr.. Quamme said:
'"There is absolutely no founda-
ton for such q lying article and
such misleading heads. They are
trying to make me say that am
against the rural credit system Of
North Dakota. I am not against
the rural credit system Of North
Dakota. l am for it and / want
every one to know it"
Explains the Plot
Mr.. Quamme went on to explain
how the Bismarck Tribune, which
originated the story and spread it to
other anti-farmer papers, tried to
draw him into trap and got him to
give purported "interview'' which
then was to be twisted into an attack
upon the North Dakota bank plan.
George Mann, publisher Of the Bis
marck Tribune, first wrote letter to
Mr.. Quamme, asking the latter to ex-
plain the amount of loans made to
North Dakota farmers, the rates
charged for loans and other questions
having to do with the federal land
bank system. Mr.. Mann intimated
that the fedaral land bank was criti-
cized somewhat for not having loaned
more money.
Mr.. Quamme, in letter, gave the
information desired, showing that
$14,O00,000 had been loaned to North
Dakota farmers at and 5h per cent
interest and stating that this progress
of the federal land bank system should
be considered satisfactory and not
slow, as Mr.. Quinn intimated.
Mr.. Quamme got another letter
from Mr.. Quinn requesting permis-
sion to print the information Mr..
Quamme had given. This permission
was given.
Trap Is Sprung.
Then Mann sprung his trap. He
picked up a portion Of an editorial
from the Fargo Courier-News. The
Courier-News pointed out what is true
that the $4,000, 900 loaned by the
federal farm loan bank has only
reached about per cent Of the bor-
rowers Of North Dakota, that the
Bank Of North Dakota will be enabled
to make rules more liberal than the
governments rules and that the state
bank will thus reach borrowers that
can not get the benefit Of the cheap
government money.
Mann printed portion Of the
Courier News editorial and then
printed Mr.. Quamme's statement,
stating In black type above Mr.. Guam
mes statement: "Quamme Makes
Reply to carry out the impression
that the federal land bank president
was replying to the Courier News edi-
torial. Then an attack, written by the
editor, on the Bank Of North Dakota,
was added at the end of Mr.. Guam
mes statement, to make it appear
that Mr.. Quamme was attacking the
state bank.
When a representative Of the Min
nesota Leader called upon Mr.. Guam
me he had copies Of the Bismarck
Tribune article lying on his desk.

Mighty gatherings these cen
trail picnics will be, places where
thousands Of farmers will get to-
gether to hear the referendum ex-
planned and be informed as to all
the requirements for registering
and signing the petitions. Hun
|dreds Of petitions will be circu-
lated by a corps of volu nteer
workers and those who have not
already signed will get a good
chance to do so there. No one
will be overlooked( either in the
way Of hearing the message or of
having a chance to defeat the
gang it is planned.
Spread the Light.
The picnic plan arose out Of an
earnest desire on the part Of the
Leaguers throughout the state to
have everybody understand just
what it was all about. The
League wants no one to sign or
vote who does not know what he
or she is signing or voting. Lea
|guers say, let us spread the light,
therefore send us literature and
speakers, and the State Office is
standing up to the task as best it
may. In every case where a pic
mic is being arranged it is at the
express wish of some reside1l It's of
the locality, so much in ca rnest
are they all to have the matter
aired.
Noted Speakers.
Speakers from outside points
are being arranged for but a COM
|petent staff Of local men also will
assist. A number of prom inent
publicists, attorneys and profes-
sional men have banded hem
selves together to help defeat the
gang and there will take the
stump against the infamous mea-
sure, amongst whom the names
of B. K. Wheeler, Attorney Gen
eral Ford, w. f. Dunn and many
others are prominent.
