The election is over and it was a
rather mixed victory. Both factions
in North Dakota claim a glorious vic
tory, so both ought to be we'll salts
fed. The Independents enacted their
five initiated measures, elected their
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
Secretary of State, State Treasurer,
one railroad commissioner, two Con-
gressmen, twenty-one official news
papers, enough members Of the house
of representatives to control that body
by about four votes and enough Sem
ators to come within one or two OF
tying the league candidates in that
body. The league appears to be sat
isfied with the thots Of controlling the
State Senate, and with electing their
governor, attorney general, secretary
Of agriculture, lieutenant governor, in
surance commissioner, auditor, a Con-
gresham, United States Senator and
two railroad commissioners. Just
what will the members Of the house
and the senate do when they convene
in Bismarck in January? They can
meet there and do absolutely nothing,
which is pretty apt to be the case, or
they can declare an armistice and get
down 20 business and do something
that is of real constructive natur.

subscribing dollar for each member
of the family, showed their economical
streak by coming across with a dollar

are always those who have hard
time making both ends meet who did
not feel like subscribing anything to

countered were the fellows with big
wages who positively refused to give
a cent, evidently because they were
not in sympathy with the movement.
Most everybody had given the question
some consideration. There was one
woman who refused to join because
she felt that she could put her dollar
to some better use. She didn't have
much use for the Red Cross because

the solicitor called again in the even

same. There were few who viewed
the solicitors with suspicion and look
ed at them as much as to say: "Just
how much commission are you getting

nine out of every ten solicited sub

who became subscribers to this Won

The State Bank of North Dakota
has notified the various North Dakota
banks to hold themselves in readiness
to return to the State Bank every cent
of money deposited by the state in
stitution in such banks. The Bank
Of North, Dakota fears that after the
initiated law becomes effective early
in December permitting the counties,
cities, school districts, townships, etc.
to deposit their funds in whatever
banks they may choose, millions Of
dollars will be drawn from the Bank
of North Dakota and naturally that
institution will need all of it's funds.
According to the last published state
ment, the Bank of North Dakota has
placed with the various North Dakota
banks more than nine millions of dol
lars. Much of the money has been
loaned to farmers of North Dakota
thru these various banks and if the
money is all called in at once, many Of
the banks Of the state will be COM
PEELED to close their doors and in con-
sequence, not only will the farmers
be made to suffer, but this would have
serious effect on business of every
nature in our state. The money de-
posted by the various municipal and
township organizations with the Bank
of North Dakota has in large meas
ure been returned to the various Sec
tons Of the state from whence it came
! to be loaned thru the banks to the
farmers. The Independent can, see
where it would be very unwise to make
wholesale demand on the Bank Of
North Dakota for these funds for were
this to be done, veritable panic
would most certainly ensue. A much
wiser plan would be to allow the
money that is not deposited with the
Bank of North Dakota to remain
where it is to be checked out gradually
and additional money could be deposit
ed with whatever banks may be select
ed. Unless we are very careful in
exercising our rights thru the ini-
tiated law, we may have to call in
considerable assistance to give US help
in letting loose Of this financial bear.

There's the good roads program for
instance. This is one question on
which the most radical league member
and the staunchest |. v. A. should
readily agree. There is talk Of ten
million dollar bond issue for perman-
ent good roads program and while the
Independent does not favor any pro-
gram which will make. taxes very
much higher in the near future, this
paper does believe that program
should be adopted which will stop
wasteful spending of our road funds
and insure our taxpayers that what
ever is spent will go into road work
of lasting nature. The program
recommended by the North Dakota
Good Roads Association which met
in Minot this week, deserves consider
alton.
The two legislative bodies being
divided, whatever new legislation is
enacted, must prove to be quite salts
factory to the people Of our state as q
whole. 1t is not expected that much
if any new legislation pertaining to
our state industries will be enacted.
The league passed considerable legis-
lation of this nature two years ago,
and will be satisfied to let it remain in
order that it may receive fair trial.
Prior to the election, the Independent
candidates claimed that they were not
so much dissatisfied with the league
program, in fact they protested to
favor part of it, but objected to the
dictation of Mr.. Townley. Now that
the league boss has been shorn OF
much of his power, perhaps there will
be clear sailing for that part of the
league program which will help the
farmers without interfering with other
legitimate lines of endeavor within the
state. The coming session Of the
legislature is certain to be of a great
deal of interest.

The farmers of North Dakota who
have succeeded the best, are the ones
who have paid the least attention to
straight wheat farming and more to
Investigation. The Independent
has made this statement so many
times, that we fear our readers will
grow weary of reading it, yet to US
it seems the all important thing to
the future success Of the farming in
dustry in North Dakota. We can
point to so many successful farmers
who have grown rich by diversifying,
while we can point to so much larger
number who have gotten hopelessly
in debt by sticking to wheat year after
year. If wheat were the only thing
that could be grown here, it would be
different, but most any other crop
can be raised so much more success
fully than wheat. A great many of
cur farmers have grown well-tO-do
raising potatoes. The price of this
commodity may be little low at pres
ent, but this has been alb ig paying
crop, considering the average price
received for a number of years. And
then there is corn. During the past
two years, North Dakota corn has
matured perfectly. There's the sun
flower crop for the silos, wonderful
feed; sweet clover, bronze grass, Wes-
tern rye grass, millet, Soudan grass.
all big paying feed crops. And now
the farmers are starting in to growing
sugar cane on small scale. Thirty
farmers in one community near Min0t
are going to raise small tracts OF
sugar cane next year. This commun-
ity has done some experimenting with
the crop which requires thirty days
less than corn~to mature. There Isl
already talk Of cane mill. Mime
sofa farmers are growing cane suc-
cessfully and the Independent predicts
that the North Dakota farmers will
do as we'll. A barrel of sorghum mo-
lasses in the cellar on many North
Dakota farm is our prediction.

There was no scrimmaging during the
afternoon except upon University Field,
where two teams of scrubs fought II out
for while. Scheerer, Wittmer and
Lourie opened the session with some
punting practice, and IL is now pretty
sure that the last named will be de-

By DANIEL.

Interest in the football games sched-
uled for this afternoon-the second OF
the season for many OF the elevens bu,
the first for the vast majority of them
naturally centres in the debuts OF the
Yale and Princeton teams. But the
traditional rivals together with Har-
ward. which opened its Campaign last
Saturday, do not overshadow the early
season programme as was their wont in
the old days. There will be a lot of
good and interesting football to-day on
gridirons outside of New Haven. Prince
ton and Cambridge
Yale. which had disastrous expert
ence last fall, Will start anew this after
noon against Carnegie Tech. There viii
be new head coach behind the Ellis
Tad Jones. There will be a new system.
a new spirit and a new'hope. Whether
this combination OF lot OF new things
and something old in the way o" veteran
material will send Yale off on a season
OF happiness is not likely to be discerned
this afternoon. But tine Yale method OF
proceeding against the engineers from
Pittsburg may give us q line on what to
look for on the succeeding Saturdays Of
the season.
The Ellis have almost an all veteran
team. Jones is having some worry in
assigning the men to their jobs. For
instance. he is trying to make up for the
loss of both ends of 1919 by converting
Walker and Munger tackles of last year,
into wings. That he is able to spare
such stalwarts from the tackles speaks
well for the general situation as regards
the line.

STATE COLLEGE Pa, Oct. Coach
Bezdek refuses to disclose the lineup
that he will send against Gettysburg to-
morrow and from the number of shifts
that have been made during the past few
days it is practically impossible TO
even venture n guess. The Blue and
White coach has been so dissatisfied
with the work OF some of his players
that he has decided to send more or less
of reconstructed lineup against the
Battlefield boys. Killinger, the Harris
burg boy, will probably call the signals
for Penn State, while Schuster may be
given a chance in Baer's position at
tackle. the latter having injured his
hip in practice. Gettysburg is being
coached by Bill Wood, captain of the
1915 team at Penn State, and is reported
to have good team.
