GOING
SLOW ON GREAT
ECONOMIC PLAN
to Make Schemes, in
" This State Alright to
Establish Precedent

Immediate action has not been ta-
ken toward making league bills EN-:
bodying the party's economic schemes
laws because. the party is anxious to
obtain advice on these subjects from
every possible angle and to act only
after the, most careful deliberation,
said Walter, J.. Maddox, chairman of
the house state affairs committee and
league floor leader. this morning. Rep.
Maddox stated that delay in any
event would have been required until
the league amendments were finally
ratified and approved by the govern
or, but that even had these prelimin-
aries been completed, there was no
disposition on the part of the league
to act precipitately. ....
League leaders appear to realize
the magnitude of the undertakings to
which they are about to commit the
state. There is an apparent desire
upon their part to so proceed that
applied socialism will prove a success
in North Dakota, in order that their
in other states may have
North Dakota to point to as a shining
example of the virtues and benefits
Of league rule Therefore. radical
as, the league plans are, efforts are
being made to tone them down to a
point where they will prove practical.

suppress any disorder but none was
prevalent The voting was conducted
quietly the only unusual feature be-
ing the participation Of the women,
Both the Centrist and Democratic
