striving to find time, despite the
shortage of help, to classify and ar
range it's mailing list, but the fact
of the paper having merged into it's
circulation the mailing lists of both
the old Courier Democrat and the

a number of cases instances where
two or more papers have gone to the

DISGUSTING TACTICS

Of all the disgusting tactics of the
enemies of the farmer administration
of North Dakota none is more revolt
ing than the attempt to exploit the
murder of the Turtle Lake farmer
and his family. Governor Frazier
obtained the services of n of the
best detectives in the Northwest and
hasspared no effort to track the muir
derer. lie did not proclaim to the
world all that he was doing 80 his
political opponents by nasty insinua.
tions and open charges gave the un-
informed to understand that the state
was neglecting the case. After the
governor had announced a reward of
ST., 600 for the capture of the muir
derers of the Wolf family the Fargo
organ of the big business printed a
letter purporting to come from "A
citizen who was too cowardly to
sign his name. Here is an extract:
"About ten days have passed since
the Wolf family murdered and so
far our'' take it from Townley COVER
nor has not seen fit to offer a reward
so as the guilty ones might be appre-
hended. This is surely a fine exam
Pile for a governor of this great state
of North Dakota to show that he is a
friend of the farmer, when he will
not offer a reward for the arrest of
murderers of this farmers family.
Can it be possible that he will not
do anything to protect the most sac
red thing on this earth, the home
and lives of little children"

THE NON-PARTISAN LEAGUE
(By Louis F. Post, Assistant Secretary
of Labor, Washington, D.. c.

(By Louis F. Post, Assistant Secretary
of Labor, Washington, D. c.
Judged by its wise political me-
thuds and its achievements the Nom
partisan League is the most hopeful
political movement in America. I'm
der its influence the North Dakota
state government is c7rrying out the
only program that offers real relief
from the exactions of monopolized
profiteers. The measures of relief
adopted in North Dakota have the
double advantage of being effective
and of being so easily understood
that the people cannot be misled into
rejecting them. 1 am particularly
gratified that North Dakota has ad-
opted a sound and sensible taxation
program. By exempting farm i'm.
provements from taxation it has
ceased to penalize production and
shifted a fair share of the cost of
government onto the shoulders of
absentee spectators and others who
hold land out of use. This will tend
to check the rapid and dangerous in
crease of tenantry, and by the break.
ing up of great speculative holdings
will make it easier for men now land
less to till the soil. The pros
perity of a commonwealth in the
long u depends, not on the accu-
mutation Of great fortunes by a few
bankers, manufacturers or landlords,
but upon the progressive broadening
Of the base of industrial democracy
the placing Of every family within
the state in such circumstances as
will guarantee it's opportunity at a
time not merely to maintain it's mem.
bers in decent comfort, but to i'm
prove steadily its educational, re-
c%reational and spiritual standards.
Without this improvement there can
not be the proper virility in the life
blood of the commonwealth. North
Dakota is an agricultural state. Its
program of relief has been drawn to
remedy the inequitable features of
our system of crop production and
m arketing. Farm production every
where has suffered as a result OF
this exploitation and North Dakota
has done the nation a great patriotic
service by showing that the crucia'
problems of production and market.
ing can be solved here and now by
orderly, lawful processes.
