portant point which might be ex-
touched upon. That is increased ef-
fciency Of labor and capital. Wages
per day or week may remain the same
and cost Of labor decrease if labor is
made more productive, whether by
training of the workers, by proper pro-
vision for their health, by giving them
an incentive to increase production by
proper treatment, or by better organ
ization of the plant. There is every
reason to believe that in all Of these
ways labor in the next few years will
be made much more effective than
ever before. Will prices, therefore,
not decline for this reason alone even
IL no reduction occurs for any other
reason? Not necessarily.
It Is not to be assumed that increased
efficiency Of labor will mean reduced
cost OF labor. Labor will doubtless de-
mand, and probably receive, even high
er daily wages in the next few years
tnan at present. 1t is easy to argue
that labor should be content with the
present money earnings and let any
increase in efficiency 20 toward cut
ting down cost Of production. which.
in turn, will reduce the cost Of living.
which, in effect, will amount to a rise
IN wages. But labor will see no plau-
sible reason for accepting this round
about and uncertain method of in
creasing it's real income instead of
driving at the more direct and imme
date method of higher money wages
for increased output. Of course to
obtain this increase labor must be in
a strong position and have voice
IN industrial management, but labor
Will be in strong position to demand
voice in industrial management,
since democracy has been too much
talked about during the war to be
easily forgotten in times of pence.
The New Price Level
But 1t may be asked will not the in
creased volume Of production upset the
present price equation by increasing
the quantity of commodities out Of
proportion to the volume of money and
credit? Probably not. As Professor
Irving Fisher has pointed out an ex-
Panslon Of world credit currency is to
be looked TOR in the future This ex-
panslon Is the more likely to occur If
me volume Of production increases
with heavy underlying costs Further
more, it may be added that if labor
in general becomes more efficient
labor IN gold mining industry will also
become more efficient, thus increasing
t s,:; output Of gold and making an ad-
ditional expansion of credit possible.
In paper entitled the New Price
REVOLUTION" written by Professor
Fisher, the leading authority on prices,
Tor the Department of Labor, his con-
clusion is summed up in this para
graph:
The fundamental practical question
the general level of prices is going to
fall: In my opinion it is not going
to fall much, II at all. We are on a
Our currency Is not inflated at the
present time relative to the new level
OF prices in the world which the war
mas brought about. The country's
volume Of money will have to be
judged In terms Of this new price
level, not In terms OF price level
that Is past"

prospect Of price reduction resulting
from q possible decrease in the coat

a double-pipe hot water system, with
magazine boiler which permits of
using half the boiler in moderate cold
weather, and the CRATES are so ar

Grasshoppers did an inSnense lot
of damage in some sections of North
Dakota last year, particularly in the
district between the two Missouri
rivers and in Bottineau and McHenry
county. The state spent $4,000 in
five North Dakota counties last year
fighting the pest. The government
has become interested and has sent
Stewart Lockwood, U. S. special field
agent in grasshopper control work, to
North Dakota. Mr.. Lockwood is
holding meetings in various sections
of the state giving addresses to edu-
cate the farmers in battling with this
pest. Mr.. Lockwood states that a
great deal of damage is certain to be
done by the grasshoppers next year
and it will pay the farmers to be on
their guard. Farmers can treat Is
acres with a formula consisting of
100 pounds of bran, four pounds of
arsenic, one to two dozen oranges or
lemons, two gallons of molasses and
IL gallons of water.

NOVEL THRESHING MACHINES
French Bind the Straw as Fast as
~ 1t Comes From Machine.

Joseph (Cecil) Hunt, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Joe Hunt, writes his father
an interesting letter describing in de-
tail the French methods Of rhreshing
grain. A North Dakotan wonders
how far the French would get with
such contraption as they use if
one of these rigs pulled out on a
section of grain here.

opposition does not attempt to crit
else, such as the hail insurance bill,
workman's compensation act, and the
bills that tend to give the farmers
better markets for their products
which are apt to prove boon to the
Northwest, but there are other meas
ures that have called forth the sever
est criticism from many and the ef-
feet Of these will be closely watched.
"Big Biz" is going to get mighty
hard blow, and at the same time there
are many engaged in "Little Biz" who
are apt to feel the effects of some OF
this legislation for some time to
come.
A prominent member of the Non
partisan League from near the city
ventured the opinion that the legisla-
tors were placing too much power
in the governors hands. II am not
afraid of the present program, for
that is just about what the men,
bers of the league have been fight
ing for, but I am looking ahead to the
time when there will be change
in administration. That time is
ahead of us. A change is bound to
come some time. have the utmost
faith in the honesty of Governor
Frazier, but with so much power in
the hands of the governor, it makes
me wonder what will happen when the
time does come for a change. / am
disappointed that the legislators have
not taken a recess so that they could
come home and talk over matters with
their constituents"
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1919-01-30

The Nonpartisan legislators are in
the saddle, all right, down at Bis
marck, and this week number of
their most important bills are due
to be passed. The program as
recommended by Governor Frazier in
his message is being carried out pref
ty thoroly, including the provision for
the state bank with its millions of
state funds; bills which will permit
the state to operate mills, packing
plants, terminal elevators or engage
in most any other kind of business
that the majority Of the people may
choose; state hail insurance act;
workman's compensation act and a
number of other bills of more or less
importance, all Of which will tend to
revolutionize the life of every man,
woman and child living in this great
state TO a considerable extent. One
Of the most important bills is that
providing for new method of taxa
ton which has been set forth in the
columns of the Independent. At this
time, It will do absolutely no good to
discuss the merits of the various bills.
As we said before, the Nonpartisan
legislators are in the saddle and they
are not going to get out of it until
they have put their complete program
in effect. President Townley is the
chief engineer and he is assisted by
VIM. Lemke, Walter Thomas Mills and
other men who are prominent in
League circles. The bills are all
threshed out in the Nonpartisan
league caucus and after they receive
the stamp of the leaders, they are GER
tain to become laws. The minority
has absolutely no power not even that
to debate the merits or dement's of
the proposed measures, for it is gen.
orally agreed that one opposed to a
Nonpartisan measure could speak I'M
til he is black in the face without
changing one vote. One has to hand
it to President Townley for his Won
derful organization ability and the
manner in which he has 'shog tied" the
opposition, whether one favors his
program completely or not. We will
soon feel the effects of this legis-
lation for practically every bill has
the emergency clause and it will not
be a great while before the people Of
North Dakota learn from actual ex-
perience whether or not the program
is a good one. If after fair trial,
any of the measures are found want
ing, the people Of North Dakota will
not be slow in expressing their dis
approval and of course they can in
time be remedied. It is hoped that
they will turn out better than many
predict, for so many millions of dol
lars are involved that should the pro-
gram prove visionary and imprac-
ticable, it would mean a staggering
financial loss to The state that would
require years to overcome. There is
much in the program that even the

Some joker started the report that
the name Of our state capital was
to be changed from Bismarck to
Townley. The rumor came about as
follows: In the Nonpartisan caucus
Representative Paul johnson sug-
gested that the name of the state
capital be changed to Roosevelt.
Speaker L. L. Stair is reported to
have declared that he was in favor
of the bill, except that he would
make an amendment by substituting
the name of Townley. Senator Ca
hill objected on the grounds that the
subject was one that did not call for
levity and he suggested that the
name be allowed to stand.

Food prices are due for a gradual
drop. Butter was the first to take
slide, the price of butterfat today
being quoted at As cents pound
The local stores are selling dairy but
ter at go cents a pound. Eggs were
also placed on the toboggan. Fresh
egs are selling in the local stores at
IS cents a dozen. It is predicted that
by April, butter will be selling in
Chicago at 40 cents pound and eggs
at 35 cents dozen. Other classes of
food will soon drop, the merchants as
sure us that the change will come
gradually.
