Farmer PROGRAM
DEPENDS ON THE.
INDUSTRIAL BODY
Consistency Of Candidates In
Support Of Farmers Interests
Should Be Deciding Factor.
BY L. J. siIjan.

A mast important part of the gov
e'Mnest of North Dakota is the In
dnstrial Commission. 1t consists of
three members, the governor, the at
1orneg general and the commissioner
at agriculture and labor. 1t is the
duty sf this commission Ito conduct
aud manage, on behalf of the state of
North Dakota. certain utilities. indus
tries, enterprises and business prof.
acts, ROW or hereafter established by
Jaw" In effect the governor is all
powe1fdi on the commission as he
like the autocratic monarchs of DID,
has ABSOLUTE veto power; the two
other members Of the commission cam
not do anything without the sanction
of the governor.
The issues of this campaign. as far
ns tlsey concern the original Farmers
s,rogrum", which seems to be entirely
forgotten by the league campaign
managers, center primarily around
sh;s commission, and it depends on

The attorney general is the third
member of the industrial commission.
Reinhart j. Kamplin is a comparative
ly young man (3l years old) but he
has the energy and the optimism of
the youth, the youths desire to make
good, and Is recognized as Il valuable
member of the North Dakota bar. He
pledges himself to support the pro-
gram laid down III the two Bismarck
platforms and as expressed by the
independent candidate for governor.
The greatest factor in the fight
against Townleyism--and that is as
far as the large majority OF the in
dependent voters Is concerned. not a
fight against the farmers, but for
,hem--is the Independent Voters as
sociation. The president Of this or
can!zatlon is Il. w. Everson. Of

this and talks volubly of IAN opposi-
ton controlled and financed by grain
gamblers and bankers" but somehow
the laughter does not sound natural
nor hearty.
On the question Of good faith the
Townley opposition has decidedly the
best Of the argument. The present
administration has shown bad faith in
several instances. Governor Frazier
is in many ways a likeable fellow but
he belongs to an era of politics when
the big boss stood beaming behind Il
bar and handed out drinks to the
boys. If he has any conception of
politics ut all. beyond the ideals of
Tammany Hall ward heeler. he has
failed to show 1t; and he is decidedly
lacking in back bone
His record on the elevator program
somewhat justly so, hue and cry In
this state when the fourteenth legisla-
ture IN 1915 refused to go ahead with
the terminal elevator program plead
ing that the $4,000 then at disposal
for this purpose was too small an
amount. In 1917 the senate passed Il
terminal elevator bill which nut $780,
GOO ut the disposal of the governor for
investigation or building purposes. but
tine league majority III the house voted
1t down under orders from the secret
caucus.
Under pressure from the minority,

of Grand Forks, practically the same
bill was reintroduced and unanimously
adopted. 1t died in infancy. however.
the governor refusing to sanction it,
giving as one reason that he did not
believe in taxing the people to the
tune uf two hundred thousand dollars.
(The elevator fund at the time
amounted TO about $1OO,OOO). He had
another streak of economy the same
year; he vetoed Il $1,000 appropriation
with which to stimulate immigration.
claiming it was eXtruvagant. In 1919
he signed Il $2OO.OtO appropriation for
the same purpose.
The governor is consistent only in
his inconsistency. In this respect he
is strongly supported by the league
members Of the fifteenth legislature
who wired the governor their con-
gratulations on his vetoing the eleva.
tor bill which they had voted for only
IL few weeks earlier.
Then take the record Of the leaders
Of the opposition. J. F. T. O'Connor.
candidate for governor who, when he
is elected, will he the head of the in
duStrial commission, has repeatedly
voted for the farmers program meas
ures. He voted for and spoke for
every terminal elevator measure which
was introduced while he was q mcln-
Der of the house. He voted for the
grain grading bill. the Bank Of North
Dakota bill. but against the political
industrial commission hill Instead
he supported II measure providing for
n nOl-puliticnl industrial commission.
He now pledges himself to see thar
the farmers program, including better
rural credits facilities through, the
Bank Of North Dakota, will ret the
fairest possible trial.
