Richard, go out and try to

Money today is worth &c,

Loaned money is credit. In

charge for credit are trying to
give something for nothing.
1t can't be done. Money, like
goods, must be paid for. Some

Official paper of New Ulm, MINI.
Is Mr.. Barnes Testing?

The Mankato Free Press says, edi-
torially, that julius H. Barnes, the wheat
director, talked like an optimist' when
he, in an address before conference of
administrative heads of the government
and chairmen of the agricultural COM
mittees of Congress, ''swept from the con-
sumer's horizon forty dollar flour and a
twenty-five cent loaf Of bread" This
conference was held at Washington, d.
c., to discuss the future OF the wheat
market after the termination OF govern
ment control on June /. The Free Press
goes on to state that Mr.. Barnes also set
at rest the housewives panicky fears
about Americas outlook for bread sup
plies and held out the glittering hope
that "the wheat crop in the United
States promises to far exceed the average
yeild, unless nature proves more than
normally unkind, while the importing
countries of Europe now have crop
prospects larger than last year"
Just like a bolt of lightning from a
clear sky comes a price increase in flour
which tumbles Mr.. Barnes beautiful
castle built of cards into tangled mass
of debris. In view of this fact, we are
at loss to know whether he was only
testing, when he promised to sweep
from the consumers horizon forty dollar
-four and a twenty-five cent loaf OF
bread. -
1t is barely possible, however, that Mr..
Barnes desired to prepare the farmer for
a big slump in the price of wheat at just
about the time this years crop is har-
vested

Voter Can Choose OaUn Party.

The following timely editorial is clipped
from the Minnesota Leader. 1t should
be given the widest possible publicity
prior to the primary election, which will
be held Monday, June Fl.
The attempts of the press hostile to
the progressive Republican candidates
Endorsed by the Nonpartisan League and
Workers league, to read voters out of the
Republican party because they do not
pass the test of Republicanism advanced
by the steel trust and mill and elevator
combine, would not be made unless the
anti-farmer, anti-labor press assumed the
voters of Minnesota are ignorant and do
not know the law.
a.. On the front page of this issue we
publish legal opinion regarding the
determination of the party voter be-
longs to. The law provides very plainly
that voter can affiliate with ANY
PARTY HE WANTS TO and only
the voter himself has the right to de-
termine whether he is Republican OF
a member of any other party. Not even
election judges can go back OF the oath
of a voter who declares himself a Re-
publican and calls for a Republican
ballot.
This opinion should be read carefully
by all persons intending to vote at the
primaries. Cut out the opinion on the
front page of this issue and keep it by
you until you vote. No voter should
permit anybody, not even election judges,
to deprive him of the right to vote any
ticket he wants, providing the voter has,
on being challenged, made out the affi-
davit required bv law. The election
officials are compelled by law to give the
voter the party ballot he calls for on
making out this affidavit, if anybody
challenges the voters right to any party
ballot.
Cut out the opinion and keep it by you
You may need it in an emergency.

While man alleged to be radical
was being tried in the court of Federal
Judge Anderson of Boston it developed
that although the prisoner had been ar.

The agent of the department of justice

LETTERS CONCEAL
FACTS ON TAXES
HOSTILE WRITERS GIVE TOTALS
RATHER THAN STATE LEVY.
A TYPICAL CASE.
EXPOSE OF SEMI-TRUTHS CIR
cULATED AGAINST N. D.
ADMINISTRATION.

Reports of those who have sounded
the alarm about the great increase OF
taxes in North Dakota because of the
Socialist" state government do not
stand up under investigation at county
auditor offices.
The case of H. G. Holtz, who wrote
the following letter to the St. Paul Daily.
News, is typical:
Editor Daily News: The following
is tax list on property owned by me
at Flaxton, Burke county, N. D. If
you want to pay taxes like the follow.
ing statement, vote for ToWnleyism.
This shows my taxes for three years:
1915 245.01.
1913 $29184.
1913 $621O8 under the Townley
regime.
TO the voters of Minnesota: beg
of you not to allow A. G.. Townley to
rule your state as he is ruling North
Dakota. 1t is a one-man government.
Yours for square deal,
IA. Il. HOLIL,
'Flaxton, N. D."
Records show his figures for total
taxes correct, but that nearly all the in.
crease is in county, township and school
taxes, over which neither the Nonpartisan
League nor state officials have any con-
troll.
State Taxes Are $55.04.
In 1917 Mr.. Holtz paid $26.03 in
states taxes In 1918 he paid $26.03 in
state taxes. In 1918 he paid only 81
cents more, or $26.64; and in 1919 he
paid $55.04. The increase in his state
taxes was thus 106 per cent, as COM
pared with an increase Of 1876 per cent
levied on general property for state pur-
poses in Minnesota.
The one point on which Mr.. Holtz
might be considered to have any COM
plant at all as compared with the farmer
enjoying" different kind of state
government such as Minnesota has,
would be the compulsory hail insurance
tax of cents an acre. This cost him a
total of $40 in 1919.
If he had taken advantage Of the state
hail insurance he could have secured in
surance of 81 an acre for only rs cents
an acre more, instead of for 70 cents or
more, which he would have. had to pay
for private company insurance. And if
he. had done this the saving of at least
$126 on 800 acres would have paid all
his state taxes, including the flat hail tax,
and left him with $4096 which he might
have regarded as reward for political in
dependence.
The ratio Of the state taxes paid by
Mr.. Holtz in 1919 to his total taxes OF
1876 cents on the dollar, shows the farmer
government can not be held responsible
as he intimates, for high,taxes.

A "Weopon of Tyronny".

In view of the renewed tendency mani
tested by the British government in send
ing thousands of fresh troops to Ireland
to restore order" it is more than interest
ing to listen to what the Daily Herald,
the English labor paper, has to say about
this policy. The advice of this paper is:
Bring the English Army Out of Ireland.
1T is the symbol as we'll as the weapon
of tyranny. 1t is an insuperable barrier
to settlement. 1t is a perpetual reminder
to Irishmen of Mr.. Lloyd Georges in
effable boast (surely the most pitiable
remark ever made by any human being)
that Great Britain, the vastest and
strongest power in the world, with navies,
armies, air fleets, tanks, artillery, gas.
is prepared to fight little unarmed Ire
land with determination" and resolve .
In an air polluted by this Incompatible
baseness no 1rishman can breathe with
out rage, and no Englishman without
shame. Ill
But it lies with labor, which has the
power, if it has the will, to insist On the
withdrawal Of the English Army Of
Occupation from Ireland. That will be
the first step to the British commons
wealth, and hence to the Federation Of
the World
