CARSON PRESS TO OPPOSE
TOWNLEY PRESS

At a recent meeting of the indepen-
dent newspaper editors of Grant coun-
ty, the coming newspaper election
was discussed. It was decided unan-
imously that only one newspaper
should oppose the Townley organ at
the Nvember election.
It was decided to draw straws and
the lucky one was to have the com.
bined support of the others. It was
also agreed that the newspaper tina,
won, if elected, would furnish the
others with the commissioners pro-
.ceedings at minimum, rate.
The Carson Press won out and will
go on the ballot in opposition to the
Townley kept sheet.
The Press is the oldest newspaper
in Grant county, and is ably and fear
lessly edited by j. C.. Bell, who mas
stood the gaff of the Townleyites
the past four years without a quives.
Shields Enterprise. {,
Mr.. Bell is brother-in-law of Mrs.
Enders, of this city, and visited hers

liminary reports made public today
by the National Education Associa-

sections of the United States. These
reports show thai in places wher.
teachers salaries have been increased

situation is nearly always satisfae.
tory. But such places are compars-
lively few, and in localities where
salaries have been increased fifty per
|cent or less the teacher shortage is
commonly greater than year ago.
Rural communities are hardest hit.
Signed reports from superintendents
of many counties indicate that third
of their rural schools cannot open fo1
want of teachers. Tens of thousands
of schools will be in charge of teach.
ers who have had no professional
preparation and whose academic
training barely exceeds that OF Tie
children they teach"
In the face of criticism of many
we started almost year ago to nut
squarely before the people of this
county the necessity of raising sala-
ries or of closing the schools. Tie
way school boards and patrons hav.
co-operated has enabled US to ge:
enough teachers.
Oar annual report to the state .su-
p 'r::1a enGent went in this week on
time. The splendid way the differ
ent school officers got in 'he:r reports
enabled US to do this. Itl,s always
much easier to get th:ngs done in
time than to let them go.
Some items from the annual re-
pO1C. AdSI year CItSro were ,1S :.
schools; this year 1862. Thirteen new
school houses were built last year;
eleven this year. Last year fifty.
nine schools did not have seven
months of school as required. This
year twenty-six failed to meet the
requirement. Only eleven schools
had permit teachers this year. Last
year we had thirty-three permit

in the county was 1920; this yea,
3058. Last year we had 81 eighth
grade graduates; this year 103. The
average length of term in rura.

CAPITAL NEWS BUREAu

j. F. T. O'Connor, now actively
stumping the state in his campaipn
against Townleyism, has been greet
Cd by big audiences and by attentive
audiences everywhere he has spoken
in the past ten days.
Speaking in his inimitabiy charac-
teristic manner, he has been using
simple logic and admitted facts to
impress his hearers with the sincerity
of purpose and the truth of the CAM
paign issues.
Here the other day he said: "1,os
wears the farmers wanted a terminal
elevator, but Governor Frazier vetoed
the terminal elevator bill in 1917. Tie
gave as an excuse that the bill caller
for 100000 appropriation, and woulc
be paid by direct taxation. There
was 100000 in the terminal fund a.
the time" The orgy of spending,
this year calling for s3,s93, 1876. 90 to
! run the state. had not yet startcl.
I'm 1919." said O'Connor, "the gov
ernor signed bill appropriatine
100000 for immigration by direcr
taxation. Was immigration more inn
portant than a terminal?"
Or would not Townley and the
Townley papers have had nothing to
promise and continue to promise the
farmers if the elevator had been pro-
vided at that time ?-the elusive rain
bow to chase down its roots in a pot
of gold. Nor has anyone in all these
years found it.
O'Connor said "Mr. Townley says
the farmers did wrong in finding out
from the courts whether the federal
or state grain law controlled. Each
law provided a Jail sentence for its
violation and fine. If Mr.. Town.
ley had consulted some good lawyer
and learned more about our laws he
would not have been convicted for
disloyalty and sedition by a farmers.
jury in Minnesota. The difference
between Townley and the farmers Is
that the former does not believe in
law while the latter 'obeys the law.
"Townley ran for the legislature IN
Golden Valley on the Socialist ticket.
The Socialist platform advocated
state ownership Of land. Walter
Thomas Mills believes the same. Do
the farmers want the state to own
their land? One more increase like
the last one and the state will own
the land"

paper to the league bosses and ac-
cepted the position of editor for them,
he has done his best to keep that idea
before his readers. /.
The Record has no apology to make
! for it stand on these matters. We
havs always considered it duty to
do what we can to give the reading
public chance to see some Of the
things that the hired emplyes Of
Townley fail to tell them. And we
want our readers to know that such
a policy has COST US MONEY.
The Townley gang would make yor
believe that we have been getting
paid for our opposition to the socialist
plunderbund. Such is not the case.
We have never received pay from any
source. It may be hard for some
persons to believe that persons will
stand up for what they believe to be
honest and square unless they get a
drag" out of it. It is common
thing to hear people say, ooh, he
wouldn't do SO and SO if he wasn't
getting paid for it." We wish to
inform such persons that we have
spoken from the public platform and
have worked through the columns Of
the Record to head off the Townley
machine without any pay whatsoever
from any source. And, that isn't ali.
We once upon time spent twenty
months in the service Of this govern
ment, and no one provided US any
"slush funds" for thus neglecting our
business affairs. And that service
in the army cost US several thousanc
dollars in business mismanagemen.
and loss Of business of. the Record.
The Record has hoped to be of some
benefit to the, people of this county
and state. We have been sure we
were right, and we have gone ahead
to the best Of our ability,
We have never hssitated to back UP
our arguments any place and any
time. We have opposed the nonpa--
tisan league for various reasons, such
as the following:
It is not bona fide farmers or
ganization run by farmers. Instead,
it was organized and managed by a
bunch Of resident and nonresident So
cialist agitators.
There is plenty Of proof for that
statement. Townley, its president,
was former socialist organizer and
ran for the legislature on the so,
cialist ticket in Golden Valley coun-
ty in 1914.
Charles Edward Russell, first editor
of the Nonpartisan Leader, was a
member Of the national executive
committee to the socialist party, and
has stood with the socialist party and
nonpartisan league on every issue en-.
