THE SQUARE ISSUE IN
SOCIALISM

There is general denial that the
North Dakota Nonpartisan League is
dragging the farmer into Socialism.
This denial is made by timid news
papers that for local support have
gone over TO the League-never by
the.'leaders
The Nonpartisan League has
thrown down the gauntlet in Nebras-
ka in the campaign for control OF the
forthcoming constitutional conven-
ton. The issue of its program is be-
fore Nebraska today
The first request which the Non
partisan league will make OF the Ne
braska constitutional convention will
be power of the state to issue unlim.
tied bonds, 10 incur unlimited indebt-
edness, inorder that the state may
engage in every sort of business
which may be claimed to be public
utility, a phrase expanded to include
elevators, flour mills. banks insur-
ance and what not. This is particu-
larry significant If coupled with the
demand for Single land tax"
which would make the land bear the
great part, II not all. the burdens OF
these greatly extended functions of
government.
Do the property owners OF Nebras-
ka-and most Of the people OF the
state are property owners in small II
not large degree-favor this social
istic program? viii the people OF
the country approve it, under the
guise OF a national party?

forth inducements in the way of reas-

positions, so that persons wishing to
enter the service as a career may do so
IN the hope Of securing such a position
and salary in the event they prove their
htnesS therefor We believe that the
ciasslned civil service should include all
positions not political in character, and
that these positions should be filed by
persons whose availability therefor has
been determined by the character of
service which has compelled their pro-
motion from time to time in the past.
Ihere can be no higher. no more
commendable ambition among nation

that the higher the positions obtain
apie the greater will be the zeal and
the energy exerted to obtain them,

has been turned over to that body in
the Department of Labor building was
placed in readiness for the hearings
Where Message sent.
The commissions message to the
operators was addressed to Thomas
T. Brewster of st. Louis. chairman of
the scale committee of the central
competitive field operators. and that
for the miners was sent to John l..

Plan Open Hearings.
With this data on hand the COM
mission will ask miners and operators
| to appear at series of open hear
ings covering each field affected.
Both sides will thus have opportunity
to present their arguments to the
! commi ssion- and to the public The
| situation in the central competitive
| field will be taken up first. but other
| fields over the country will be dealt
| with in a like manner. SO that the

| The coal operators who have pro-
! tested that they were not consulted
in the final negotiations that ended
\ the recent strike and provided for the
| commission have not signified wheth-
| er they will accept or oppose the find
ings of that body. but the govern
ment and the commission is going
ahead on the theory that the ope-

BULL FIGHTS NOT RESTORED.
Carranza Defeats Movement to Re-
sumo Sport in Federal District.

MEXICO CITY, Tuesday. December
3o.-The spirited fight between con-
gress and the executive depa rtment
relative to bull fighting in the fed
eral district ended today with vic
tory for President CarranZa, govern
ment adherents absenting themselves
from the senate and thus preventing
a vote on the bill which would permit
the conducting of fights.
Prohibited by presidential decree
several years ago, bull fighting seemed
likely to return when both houses
recently voted to rescind The decree.
President Carranza objected, however.
and returned the measure to congress.
The chamber of deputies again passed
it, but the senate failed because of
the lack of a quorum
