The non-partisan leaders at Bis
marck are commencing to see the
light Of reason or are fearful of the
results if they do not put on the soft
pedal in regard to passing Of those
proposed radical measures. Several
important changes have taken place
at Bismarck recently in league cir
cles. One of the most important
steps taken by nonpartisan- leaders
lately is to drop the bill providing for
state ownership of land. The protest
against this radical and socialist
measure was assuming too great inn
petus over the state and farmers all
over were beginning to throw up their
hands and quit the league on account
Of such radicalism. Again, many
who resisted this alleged briber, re-
fuses to divulge> the mans name be-

members of the league were against
the putting on of the emergency
clause on league measures Wltnout
giving the people of the state square
deal, and the fact that Senators wei
ford and Mees, two nonpartlsan mem,
hers of the senate, absolutely refused
to vote for the emergency unless the
governor promised to give the people
q square deal brought the governor
and the leaders to their knees and the
white flag was run up overy the cap
itol building. Before the vote was
taken on the bills, especially the
emergency part Of it, Gov. Frazier
was invited into the senate chamber
TO state Just exactly what he would
do if petitions were presented to him
for a referendum election. Had the
emergency clause been tackled onto
these bills it would have required
thirty thousand signers to get spe-
cial election and this number was al
most prohibitive. The governor was
called on the carpet and told by these
two independent senators that they
would not stand for this and would not
vote for the emergency until a defin-
ite promise from the governor was
made that he would give the people an
opportunity to express their approval
or rejection of the measures. After
finding out that the emergency could
not pass without that promise the
governor capitulated and promised to
call special election if petition
containing the names of fifteen thous-
and voters from all walks Of life
both business men and farmers-was
presented to him. This was fair
enough and acting on the governors
word the bills were passed. 1t is not
to the credit of the governor by any
means that this is so. It is only be-
cause he knew he was licked If he did
not make that promise 50 We shall
have to give the credit to Senators
Mees and Wexford and let it go at
that. There will be a special cleo
ton all right on these bills because
before long more than fifteen thous-
and signers viii 60 on petitions and
these measures will have to be refer

The legislature at Bismarck is try
ing to put through an eight hour
working day for women placing them
on the same level as the men folks.
Well we approve Of that measure.
There is no reason on earth why a
woman should work in store, factory
or Office more hours a day than a man.
The woman generally works right
along when she is at her task and
does her work just as faithfully as
does her male friend who works in
similar places. Then why have any
distinction. Pass the bill and give
the women the same rights as the men.

was the go between for the "bribers"
and their victims. But whether they
open their columns to the opposition,
or not, The Forums columns will be
open as they always have been, from
now until referendum election is
held-for it doubtless will be held.
These senator's have played fair with
the voters, and made a referendum
possible. The Forum considers it now
has but one duty, and that is to get
the fullest possible information about
the bills to the public

1t is funny how so many people can
do the acrobatic stunt in these uncer-
tain political times. One day they
are on one side of the political fence,
then the next day after getting their
ear to the ground and listening to
where the most noise comes from,
they Immediately hop over onto the
other side of the political fence and
attempt to gain cushion on the VIC
torious band wagon. There is very
little settled conviction in the minds
of many only as that conviction affects
the pocket. If that newspaper. bill
goes through at Bismarck large
number of those fellows who thought
they were on the real band wagon are
going to pick themselves up in daz-
ed condition from a rough jolt they
got from this band wagon. This great
friend Of human endeavor who has
been saving the state and attempting
to save the nation and has succeeded
in hypnotizing these quill drivers or
caused them TO shrivel up from fear
of losing a dime or two will soon
wake up to find that this great friend
has proven "to be only broken reed"
Serves 'em right. They should have
a little nerve and speak out in meet
ing just what they think instead Of
crooking the knee to a bunch Of dis
poilers whose only object in life is
to put over a great socialist plan for
their own gains and whose work will
mean increased taxes and future dis
aster for the. state. What we need
among our newspapers is more con-
viction and less camoufage. Trying
to ride horses going in opposite d.
srections never gets anybody any
where. If you believe that the plan
that is now being steam rolled through
the state legislature is the right idea,
nail your flag to the masthead and
come out into the open. If you be-
lieve the opposite, nail the old rag
to your masthead and stay with it.
You can't please all the people, but
the people will respect you whole
lot more if they know that you are
sincere from conviction and principle
instead Of trying to ride into power
and prosperity by subterfuge. Why
bless your heart, lots of our political
enemies are sneaking over to the
neighbors and reading this old rag
every day to see what we are saying.
We glory in their good sense, but they
should come in and get their names
back on the subscription roll, then
they can read the paper without hav-
ing to jump at every sound and look
over their shoulder to see if anyone is
looking.

An entire legislative day was lost
last Saturday at Bismarck by the
house which was going through the
farce Of trying to get Representative
Caddell, Of Sioux county, to divulge
the name of the alleged briber who
had offered him $4,000 to vote against
one of the league measures and $500
for each member whose vote he could
influence to do likewise. The house
minority fought earnestly and hard to
get the league majority to get busy
and divulge the name of this alleged
briber, but it could not be done. The
majority leaders simply don't want
an investigation because they know
that the whole thing is put up job
to try and throw discredit on the min
ority and to work up feeling against
those opposed to the league. Repre-
sentative Caddell should be fired from
the house and get swift kick as he
departs. He knows, and everybody
else knows, that he was not approach
ed or any attempt made to bride him
by anybody or he would mighty quick
have said so, There would have been
no crocodile tears Of old time friend
ship shed you may rest assured.
Bribery is one Of the most contempt
bic crimes in the criminal calendar
and the offender should be punished

We have a communication in this
issue Of the paper relating to the
proposed building of new high
school in this city. The writer sug-
gests that perhaps an addition could
be built to the present high school
building So it could, but what would
we have when we got through with
it. 1t would cost thousands Of dol
lars to do this and then we would
have patched up building that would
not answer the purpose. Better wait
until we can build new building than
do this. It is our honest opinion that
Valley City can build new building
easily and without much trouble or
added taxes if the people want to.
Every time we suggest improvements
somebody is fearful that it is going
to cost too much. We need this school
building, let's build it. The editor of
the Times-Record is pleased to get
this communication and would like to
get more of them on the subject. This
IS peoples forum in which all peo-
pie can air their views on this subject
from whatever angle they choose to
view the proposed plan Of building
new school. There should be more in
terest taken in these things and more
open discussion by those interested.
Valley City has all the natural adj
vantages to make it one of the finest
cities in the state, has fine class of
people, but somehow or other when
new enterprises are suggested some
body throws sold water on the project
and we do not get where we should in

ton. Take an interest in it and get

of an unselfsh nature for the children
of others-and is willing to pay the
price.

That the alleged briber up at Bis

while Representative .Caddell hides
his bosom friend from the clutches OF
his indignant colleagues in the house,
men who have gray suits sneak into
