COUNTY SCHOOL CENSUS COM
PLETE

All districts have now fled their
census of school children. The total
this year is ss41. This is twenty-one
less than last year. Upon the num-
Der Of school children in the different
districts is based the amount Of state
and county tuition they receive.
The amount of state tuition fund per
capita last year was $6.02. The
county tuition fund brought $5.S1 pee
child. Thus it will be noticed that
every child enumerated last year
brought $11 .83 to his district. The
reports this year have been checked
over carefully, and where too great
difference was seen over last year
they were sent over for recnecking.
The census for this year ana for
last year by district is given below:

PLEA FOR RAISED N. OAK
FREIGHT RATE OPPOSED

Bismarck, N. D.-Opposition to d
IS per cent INCREASE in state freight
rates asked by railroads was voiced
today at hearings opened by the state
railroad commission. The carriers
want the same increase in intrastate
rates as recently granted by the inter-
state commerce commission in inter-
state rates.
Shippers say any increase should be
based on the North Dakota state max
imum freight law, rather than on
present rates, asserting South Dakota
and Minnesota rates now discriminate
against North Dakota.
The railroads contend all state regu-
latory laws are nullified by the Esch-
Cummins act. Their position is be-
ing outlined by B.. W.. Scandrett, as
sistant general solicitor of the North
ern Pacific.

LINTON LOSES TO BISMARCK

The local base ball team journeyed
to Bismarck Tuesday per schedule
and according to reports played very
good game of ball. Owing to the
fact that we were short one man, and
had to use Bismarck fielder, the
boys came out on the short end of a
8 to 4 score, but we call that pretty
good considering the "jack" Bismarck
is putting up for her nine.

BITTER CONDEMNATION OF OWN
NEWSPAPER SCHEME VOICED
BY LEAGUE HEADS.
Brinton and Waters Are Accused of
Initiating Leaders System of Get
ting Corporation Control Without
Investment.

j. w. Brinton and j. R. Waters
are now accused Of seeking to initiate
the Nonpartisan league leaders meth
cd of organizing newspapers.
They are roundly condemned, too,
for the practice by which promoters
of newspapers obtain control of the
papers while the money is put up by
others.
The policy charged to Brinton and
Waters in today's edition Of the
Fargo Socialist paper is the same
policy that the league has pursued
for several years in the organization
Of county newspapers.
Briefly it is this:,
Preferred stock is sold at par
value Of 500.
Common stock is sold for about
81 q share. @
The voting power Of the pre-
ferred stock is specifically limit
ed in the corporation charter.
d Nothing is said Of the voting
power Of the common stock which
however, is fixed by law at one
vote for each share.
By the use. 81 this plan, promoters
get control of the corporation with
little or no investment, while the far
mers who put their money lack voice
in the management of the enterprise.
Thu policy was put into operation
by the league leaders in the organi-
zation Of their paper in McHenry
county originally, and it is duplicated
in the organization Of practically ev-

TOWNLEY LEAGUE OUT OF MA,
<TIONAL CAMPAIGN

Official announcement that the
>Nonpartisan league will take no par,
in the presidential campaign this year
was made today in pronunciamento
signed by A. c. Townley, F. B. Wood
and William Lemke, the 'tbig three
or executive committee Of the league.
They veto any agitation for a con-
vention to line up with the farmer
labor" party, and thus reject the over
lures Of the Committee of 48 and 9TH
ers for cooperation in the campaign.
The executive committee, they say
would have to call national meeting
before the league could take a hand in
the, presidential campaign, and '.the
time is not yet ripe" to break its prec.
edent Of noninterferance.

cry one Of the other papers controlled
by the league leaders.
Now they loudly condemn the prac.
tice, which they charge j. W. Waters
and j. w. Brinton are proposing ir
connection with the organization o1
publishing company.
Here is what the Fargo Courier.
News has to say Of the newspape,
organization policy the league ha.
employed for more than three years
maybe the league has not so
much autocratic control and
criminal management since they
(Brinton and Waters) left it,
and everyone surely admires the
democratic management which
they have provided for their new
venture, where $4,000 invest
ment gives them half as much
dividends and half as many votes
as $245.000 investment will give
the poor benighted people they
ara about to befriend.
,"God save US from such de-
mocracy."
In the case of the papers organ
lied by the league leaders along thi.
same line, they paid no money fo:
their common stock; they received i
as compensation for promotion ser
vices.
Commenting further on this schem,
of organization the Courier-New
says:
eve believe they (Brinton and
Waters) are in earnest; their
meal ticket has been taken from
them, and they want another;
they fully intend to get one and
to control it this time to the tune
of 1880 votes to $4,000 as against
2,450 scattered votes to $245,-
600.
"And just think! For their
5000 bucks they are going TO get
half as big a dividend meal tick
et' as the friends whom they in
vite in are going to get for $685.
