A PROPHECY OF 1895.

The Dassel Dispatch has succeeded in
smoking out the Willmar Tribune on its
position towards the Non-Partisan
League and it's socialistic program.
The Tribune editor has succeeded ad-
mirably in keeping on the fence for the
past year or so but there should not be
any doubt now but what he is a devoted
follower of Townley.-Clara City Herald.
Doesn't it beat all, how dense the
understanding OF some of these neigh
boring editors are? OF all the editor
ial brethren of these parts, Berghuis
is one of those whom we would least
expect TO echo the rot dished up by
the Dassel Dispatch. Honestly now.
hasn't the Tribune editor believed in
and advocated the PRINCIPLES now es-
poused by the Non-Partisan League
as long back as you have known him?
In the very first number of the VIII
mar Tribune, issued Feb. 49,, 1895,
statement was made, which while not
written by the present editor still had
his approval at that time. Is it not
a remarkable prophecy of what is now
| actually taking place. Commenting on
the defeat of w. D. Washburn for the
U. S. Senate, attributed to the sinf1u-
ence of the labor unions, the Willmar
| Tribune said twenty-five years ago
this month:
Suppose the farmers were or
gained and united all over the
state. Then they could down
not only one of the plutocrats, but
all of them. Let the farmers learn
wisdom from the labor unions and
organize for their own protection
in similar manner to the laborers,
and then they will do something.
In no other way will the farmer
ever get justice as compared with
the other classes. Suppose the
farmers and laborers were eraan-
ized-it's coming to that-then,
| there will be change"

REMARK ABLECASE
BATTLES DOCTORS
Mis-. Rudy Distressed for Nine
Days with Continued

Verna Rudy, the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Hugh Ruddy of W11lmar,
age 16, has been the victim of most
curious malady during the last nine
days. It is that of an unceasing and
unrelentdng seige of sneedng, the
cause and the cure of which has baff-
led the doctors.
The sneezing began a week ago last
Monday and the only rest that the
unfortunate young lady has had dur
ing that time has been when opiates
have been administered.
Last Friday a specialist from Min
neapolis was sent for but was unable
to do anything to relieve the girl,
having stated, we understand, that
no similar case had ever come to his
notice.
Monday as a final resort a nasal
operation was performed at the Davi-
son Hospital, but the sneezing con-
tinued. Yesterday, however, the
sneezing abated and the patients re-
cOvery is now almost assured

cy. He will assume his new duties as

SENATOR FLECKTEN OFN.D.
INTERVIEWED BY TRIBUNE

State Senator John E. Fleckten of
Kenmare, N. OAK, visited the past
week with his brother and other rela-
tives and friends in this city and
vicinity.
He expressed himself as greatly
amused at the absurd reports found
in the daily press of the Twin Cities
and many other papers in Minnesota,
about the farmers movement in North
Dakota. For instance the free love-
hoax. 4 member of the legislature,
not a league member, introduced a
free love- BILL The farmers do not
believe in that kind of rot. They sat
down on it so quickly it never got
to it's third reading. The authors
explained it was all for a joke, but
the farmers did not believe in joking
with such things. However, now it
transpires that this bill was not in
troduced for joke, but for the SIMS
ter purpose OF being used to defame
the good name Of North Dakota.
AS to the great hulabaloo about
Ellen Keys books. They are, in the
first place not free love" books, and
in the second place but one of the five
books of Ellen Key in the state lib
rary was bought during the present
administration, the four were bought
by the old regime.
He says sthe@> State Bank Of North
Dakota IL a success and has returned
to the. state treasury already the
funds appropriated for its establish
ment.
When asked about State Taxes and
their relation to the League program,
Senator Fleckten gave an analysis of
the taxes on his own quarter section
farm in Ward county, which we cop
Tod.

CONCRETE ROAD ISSUE

The County Board will open
bids next Monday for the CON
struction Of eleven miles of addi-
t1onal hard surface road, which,
II the contract Is let, will involve
the issuance of another block of
county bonds. There is a wide
spread feeling among the people
OF the county that there should
be less haste in this important
matter, in view of present abnor-
NAL conditions, when both labor
and material are at a high prem
ium, and until the people have a
chance to express their approval
at the ballot box next fall. Much
criticism has been directed
against the officials for authoriz-
ing the first bond issue, but there
was also a feeling that a stretch
of such federal road laid at an
early date might prove of value
as an object lesson. AS the mat
ter stands, The Tribune doubts
the wisdom of mourning addition
al obligations against the county
at this time.

S32.68


The exact amount of the 1919 state
taxes attributed to the soldiers bon
is is $40, leaving the increase for
other purposes at $1.S6. In contrast to
the above Senator Fleckten found that
the Minnesota state taxes on the old
home farm in Kandiyohi county have
increased from $22.18 in 1918 to $51.34
in the tax now payable.
The 1913 state taxes does not in
clude the state hail insurance. But
it does include the soldiers bonus.
The farmers legislature of North
Dakota was the first in the Union to
pass a soldiers bonus law and they
expect to tax themselves for it. There
is no other way to do it. No good
citizen will kick on the North Dako-
ia tax for that purpose except that
it may be too small.
The state hail insurance is a great
thing, and will be adopted eventually
by all the agricultural states Of the
west.
