The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1920-04-15

In this column last week there wa:
printed the nonpartisan leagues pro
gram for the state of Washington
This program is almost Identical tt
the one which brought the league into
political control in North Dakota
Critics of the league say that under
the control of A. C. Townley and other
socialistic dreamers and theorists, the
league has been carried far beyond
the original farmers prograH
and the state has been plunged into
an "orgy." of Socialism. In this con.
nection, the following comment re-
garding Walter Thomas Mills, nation
al league lecturer, who spoke in Ken
newick, is of interest:
In his book 'The struggle for Elk
istence," Mr.. Mills says: "The way
out is socialism. Under socialism.
society will own the land and there
will be no rent to pay. Under Soc
ialism society will own the tools OF
production and there will be no in
terest to pay" In the concluding par
agraph of his book he pleads: "Com-
rades, whatever other tasks await you
make your work for socialism the real
business of your daily life." In the
Appeal to Reason appeared the fol
lowing advertisement: "You can be-
come Trained Socialist, etc., Walter
Thomas Mills, orator-author will
teach YOU"
AS national lecturer for the non.
partisan league is Mr.. Mills making
socialism the real business Of his daily
life? Is he teaching the farmers to
become Grained socialists" so that
society will own the land?"
In its. issue of November "a, 1917
the Appeal to Reason carried the fol-
lowing advertisement:
The Farmers Nonpartisan League
Can use organizers in Minnesota
South Dakota, Colorado, Idaho, Wash
ington, Montana, Kansas, Oklahoma
Wisconsin, Texas, Nebraska and Iowa
GOOD PAY-steady work-splendid
opportunity for real work. Write the
Nonpartisan League, educational de-
partment, .Gifillan block, st. Paul
MINI.
If the nonpartisan league is

this advertisement inserted in one OF
more of the many farm journals, in
stead of the Appeal to Reason?

The Non-P artisan | League

practically no limitations on the char
acter of the business which may be
financed from the funds on deposit in
the institution. E#&
The language Of the bill says "The
Bank of North Dakota may transfer
funds to other departments, institu-
tions, utilities, enterprises or business
enterprises of the State" as
For all the limitations there are on
the commission handling the public
funds of North Dakota, the governor
and his two commissioners could en-
ter the sugar industry in Hawaii, the
tea trade in Ceylon or the sisal hemp
industry in Yucatan. The governor
could fit out a fleet of ships to bring
lumber, coal. and salmon from, Alaska
or he could take over mining camp
in Montana.
The Bank of North Dakota is per-
fectly free agent, functioning at the
will of one man.
The Bank of North Dakota may
loan money to any state institution
or to any county or city or school
district without the formalities of
bonds or mortgages, but it must, when
lending to individuals, take a first
mortgage on property.
It is quite simple to see what pow
er is conferred on one man under the
Townley system of handling the f.
nances of a great state. With the
entire financial strength of the state
modified in one central institution
it becomes the backbone of the whole
structure we call the State In the
hands Of one political party it be-
comes a fortress so formidable and
so impregnable that nothing short of
revolution could dislodge crowd of
schemers from the citadel Of power
in which law like that of the Bank
of North Dakota so firmly entrenches
them.
The state and private banks of
North Dakota are invited to affiliate
with the state bank; they are urged
to deposit their reserves with the gov
ernor and his commissioners. Those
which are tractable and accept the
kind invitation, will be on the pre-
ferred list. With such a club as the
governor holds, threatening them, it
is likely that majority of the pri-
vately owned banks will deem it to
their best advantage to affiliate.
In other words the central bank

The Bank of North Dakota

Last week we gave the leagues ar
guments in favor of North Dakota's
state bank law. Arguments against
the law are offered by the Montana
Loyalty League as follows:
Comment on the Bank of N. d.
House Bill No. 10
North Dakota has turned over to
one man, every dollar she possesses
to be invested as he pleases in any
sort Of business enterprise either
within or without the state, either
semi-public in nature or entirely pri-
vate
This is the result Of the passage
and approval of House Bill No. 18,
creating that remarkable institution
knownsas The Bank of North Dakota.
Lynn ]. Frazier, whom A. c..
Townley, president of the Nonparti-
san League, chose for Governor of
North Dakota, is thus made one of
the most powerful men in America.
He is practically the dictator of the
financial and industrial welfare of a
whole state-a veritable empire of re-
sources. He wields a power not APP
preached by any of the money kings
of this country and makes the remain
ing emperors, kaisers and autocrats
look like mere puppets.
The duty of operating the Bank of
North Dakota devolves on three men
the governor, attorney general and
secretary of agriculture and labor.
But the governor must approve of all
acts of this commission, and with this
power is really the dominating influ-
ence-the whole thing, of the COM
mission.
| Under the clever plan of making all
deposits in the Bank of North Dako-
ia tax free, and their safety guaran-
teed by the state, the bank thus es-
tablished by the Townley bill, will
naturally secure a large amount Of
deposits. The manager of the bank
is appointed by the governor.
Gall public funds" means the de-
posits of counties, cities, towns and
school districts. It must all be car
ried to Bismarck, the capital, to be
disposed Of at the discretion of the
manager and governor.
No bank which does not play with
the administration Of North Dakota
can hope to secure dollar of 'depos-
its.
But the Industrial Commission, in
the hands Of the governor, may also
take the money and invest it in eleva-
tors, flour mills, railroads, highways,
canals, bitches, grocery stores, pack
ing plants, stock yards, dry goods
stores or popcorn stands. Under the
broad language of this bill there is

Eagles Celebrate
With Guests,

The local Aerie of Eagles, Thibo-
1aux Aerie, No 1911, held lively and
interesting session at their quarters in
this town on last Wednesday evening,
the occasion being smoker and lunch
given by the organization for its mem
bers. Each member was allowed one
guest, and a few guests accompanied
the members.
The lunch consisted of cold meats,
rich delicacies, and cold drinks, pre-
pared by Mine Host, Louis Schneider,
member of the Aerie and to whom is
always delegated the task of getting
the table covered The manner in which
all accepted and handled the lay out
left no doubt as to the opinion enter
tanned of the meal.
Among the visitors was Mr.. K; C.
Banefeld, Deputy of Baton Rouge,
who paid an official visit to the Aerie,
with a view of boosting its member
ship. The Aerie pays sick benefits of
seven and a half dollars per week, and
pays funeral benefit of Seventy-five
Dollars. Recently insurance was added
as one of the features.

The Company asks to earn only such profits
as are necessary to protect the rights of the
public.
The public needs and demands adequate and
efficient service, now and in the future.
To furnish this service, additional facilities,
costing many million dollars must be con-
structed
This money must be gotten from the invest
ing public
Investors will not put their money into an
established business unless they are sure Of
fair and adequate return upon their invest
ment.
They cannot receive fair and adequate
return upon their investment unless the buSi-
ness earns fair and Just profit.
The investor is guided by the profits earned
in the past, and the prospects of profits to be
earned in the future.
When the Company's profits are such as will
enable it to obtain from the investing public
the money needed to furnish adequate faeilf-
ties to supply the demand for service, Its earn
ings will be fair and reasonable
A fair and reasonable profit is as necessary
for the protection Of the rights of the public
as 1t is for the protection of the property rights
of the Company.
What return is a fair and just profit de-
pends upon general economic conditions.
What was a fair and just profit in 1914 is
not a fair and just profit in 1920
The investor is entitled to, and demands,
the same return upon his money invested in
the telephone business as he receives on
money invested in other businesses.
The profits earned in other businesses de-
termine what profits the telephone business
must earn.

The Facts of the Telephone
Situation in Louisiana
By
TELEGRAPH
What The Company Asks
'v J. EPPs BROWN, President.

The available supply of money for invest
ments is limited The opportunity and de-
mand for new capital is unprecedented.
The telephone business must compete with
all other businesses, public and private, for
this money.
The investor will put his money in the en-
teFprise which assures him the best return.
To protect the rights of the public to receive
adequate service, the profits of the Telephone
Company must be sufficient to attract the in
vesting public.
To do this the Company must earn as much
as ten per cent upon its investment
The Company's investment is all physical
property poles, wires and equipment exclu-
sively used in furnishing telephone service. No
franchise, going value or any intangibles are
included. nor is there any bonds, stocks Or
other forms of capitalization involved.
The amount of the Companys investment Is
what it originally cost to construct its physi-
cal property; the bare bones of its telephone
plant Practically all of the plant was con-
structed at low pre-war prices.
It's present value today is much greater than
Its original cost.
To reproduce the Company's plant at today's
prices, after making full allowance for its pres-
ent condition, would cost so per cent more than
the investment
Ten per cent return upon the investment is
less than per cent upon the UGlue Of the Conn
pany's property
No one questions the right of the Company
to earn fair and reasonable return upon the
Uatue of its property
Measured by the profits earned today in other
business in Louisiana, the return the Com
pany is asking to earn is fair and Just profit.

Special Election
Tuesday Next,

On nextTuesday there will be spe-
cial election for the proposed special
tax, to be used exclusively for the
building of that stretch of road from
the point where the present gravelling
contract ends in the Bruslee Guilloit
to the Chacahoula railroad station,
over private property. The rights of
way have been promised or secured
and the road will be built as soon as
the bonds predicated upon the proposed
tax can be disposed of and the con-
tract to gravel advertised for and CIV
en- Assurance, on the part of those
who can assure, is that none of the
money will be used ,and in fact none
will be used for the bayou road. as
enough IS on hand to finish the con-
tract as stipulated and no other money
is required, so that the present sum to
be raised from the special tax, seventy
i've thousand, will be used exclusively
for the stretch from the Bruslee to
Chacahoula.

went down in defeat, being caisomin-

errors, the locals playing good ball
in measure, but making many err
rors Curren walking quit a few. It is
said by some who saw the game, that
1t was hard luck that prevented the To-

Last Appeal For
Campaign Funds,

Lafourche Parish has not contributed
towards the National Democratic Cam
paign fund, the amount it was rightful
~ expected it should contribute. There
is little time left, and if there be any
more contributions availably they
should be made at once. There is no
time to lose. There has been contribu-
ted in so far as as we have been advis-
ed $50, $40 sent in byDr. Stark to the
Picayune, as having been from Thibo-
daux Democrats, and $40, sent in by
US, contributed by one subscriber. Sure
ly this is not all that is to be expected,
unless those who are in honor bound.
and who owe the party their political
past and expect from it their future
political honors have contributed IL
berally and through unknown me-
diums. We make this last appeal for
funds needed at once. Surely Lafour-
che is not going to refuse, and Lafour-
che is not going to vote Republican, as
is now being currently reported. We
give the report for what it is worth,
so that those who desire may save the
parish, if the report be anything like
true, which we hope is not the case.
Send us contributions.
