the poorest boy equal to that enjoyed
by the richest and under it the child

education as those in the towns. He
spoke of his early struggles without
such opportunity and asked that moth

SeafOrd News had an editorial attack
upon the school code nearly every

no light. He said what the people
needed was light, not denunciation.
DR.. Prettyman of Milford denounced
the code as autocratic, run by a crowd
OF men appointed by the governor. He
said 1t made taxes cOnfscatory, and
gave the people no better schools then
they had under the old laws.
EX-Sheriff Kirby, of Kent county
was called on. He said he didn't under
stand the Code and was glad he didn't.
because if he understood it he would
have a much poorer opinion of his
fellowmen. He said there is too much
education, and most of the wrongs
and troubles comet rom men who are
educated, rather than from the people
who are ignorant.
In conclusion he said the School
Code took away ali home rule, stifed
self government, and impoverished
the people by high taxes. He said if
those who framed it had deliberately
tried to write a bad law they couldn't
have written a worse one.
Senator John Carey Palmer, of Mil

School Legislation
The Governor has recommended that this special ses
legislation relieve the real estate of this
State of the great burden of taxation laid upon by the
added expense Of the maintenance Of public schools
Under the present laws OF this State real estate is bear
ing nequtabe and unjust share of county and school
expenses Other forms OF wealth pay little or part in
these expenses the of road
and school maintenance has increased the
tax real estate to unbearable amount.
Ninety per cent of the objection to the School
Code is based the increased taxation necessary for its
maintenance.
Schools of primary Importance school laws of
secondary Importance. School laws will make
good schools than laws will make good people. Good
school necessary, but the teacher is the main
in school life. competent teacher will make
successful school, anywhere be the school laws good
bad But the better equipment the teacher has the better
work that teacher will do
The teacher in any community has the biggest job in
that community. The principal in any special district has
the biggest job in that town The County Superintendent
who directs the education of several thousand children
any county has the biggest job in that county These

lives of boys and girls Day abOrers are receiving

than the principals Of schools and Rail
conductors than County Superintendents
Just what put into schools will get out of
them. If starve schools will starve the minis

price To get the best teachers pay the best sal
1t is question of money for schools. How
and where going to get it Repeating the School
Code will do it. Re-enactng the old school law will
not do it,
The Governor has suggested that larger amount of
the States money be apportioned for school purposes
This is the first time that Legislature in this State has
had opportunity to relieve real of of
burden of taxation The State of
come. Its income is large. Can it be expended more
wisely than for the benefit of schools? Their every
need thus be supplied and real estate
the great burden of taxation which now rests upon it.
The public realize and understand that if the
farmer is ted to feed them he be permitted to
make good living and receive fair the labor
and capital expended If he is taxed existence some
body will starve
We sincerely hope the members of the Legislature and
most particularly you of Sussex County, almost
purely agricultural County will seize this opportunity

md relieve real estate of its present nequtabe bur
len of taxation.

OAKEs IS AFTER GOOD ROADS
Commissioner Nelson Meets With
Local Commercial Club

Commissioner Ben. Nelson was the
guest Of the Oakes Commercial club
last Tuesday, at which time he ex-
pressed himself as in favor of taking
advantage of state and federal aid in
securing good roads for this county.
AS matter of fact he stated that
the commissioners had already made
application to the state highway COM
mission for this aid, and while the
commission does not seem to think
anything can be done about it this
year they believe we will get going
next spring. Good roads experts will
meet with our board at their next
meeting in May, at which time they
will be taken over the county and
given an opportunity to view the sit
uation at first hand. It is planned to
drive them over the federal roads in
Sargent county and an effort will be
made to get them to realize the im-
perative need of good highways over
here.
h. Mr.. Nelson believes that the pepole
of Dickey county may be able to in
f1uence the state highway commission
to get work started this year, and
this will be tried. Sixteen miles will
be built as a starter, though just
where this work will be done is not
known at this time.
Oakes and Ellendale each want a
share of the good things in the road
line, though it is very likely that
both towns will bury personal desires
in order to get the good work started.
What we need here worse than
anything else is road from Oakes
to the county seat passable at all
seasons of the year. But the high
way commission and government. rep
resentatives will have great deal to
say about the location of this inn
proyement and we will have to be sat-
isfied with their decision. Let's get
it started, anyway.

FARMER BOYS ENCAMPMENT
County Agent Wants Young Men to
Have Better Chance

County Agent Kuenning and a rep
resentative from Sargent county met
with tie Commercial club Tuesday
and sprung new proposition which
appeared to take root and start grow
ing Immediately. 1t is proposed to
hold farmer boys encampment in
Oakes the second week III June all
young men in Dickey and Sargent
counties between the ages of tour
teen and eighteen yea.s, whether
from the farms or towns, being eli
gfble. The city offers the use of Do
nation park and will furnish the
necessary tents.
It is planned to conduct the encamp-
ment somewhat along military lines.
The boys will be under the supervis-
ion Of competent men, will have reg
ular hours for rising and going to
bed, and certain parts Of the day will
be devoted to sports Of various kinds.
If weather permits, they will march
or be taken in automobiles to Bare
creek and go in swimming every day.
Cook cars will be provided and
IueS1IS WILL US SSEVSU OH tue KEOUuOS.
Each boy will be required to pay for
his board during the week. It is ex-
pected that this will cost about dol
lar day, as it will be necessary to
pay only the actual cost of the food
served.
This is something new for this
part Of the state, though encamp-
ments are general in other localities.
It is hore' by this means to give
farmer boys an opportunity to meet
boys from other neighborhoods, get
their views and thus acquire a broad
er view of life. We are product Of
our environment to a certain extent
and it is certain that boys who spend
the whole year at hard labor on the
farms do not have the chance they are
entitled to.
It is worthy movement, and the
men who are back of it deserve the
commendation and cooperation Of
everybody interested in the welfare
of our boys.

sTENQUIsT AGAINST JOHNSON
Former Oakes Resident Thinks Hoov.
er is the Man
Los Angeles, Cal,
April 6, 1920,

april xOSV.
Editors Oakes Times:
While sending in my subscription
for the coming year please allow me
to say just few words in reply to
letter by Ed Bond in your paper for
March 25. Mr.. Bond talks very loudly
of Hiram Johnson of California as
presidential timber that is pleasing
to the Dakotans. There is an old
saying that "No one is a prophet in
his own country" so maybe Mr.. John
son can fool the North Dakota farm
ers by his loud talking, his "Red" car
and his cowbells, asShe did us Cal
ifornians when he ran for governor,
but his cowbells won't fool the Cal
ifornians again, for California has
had enough Of Mr.. Johnson's states
manship. The writer is not repub-
lican but I confess l voted for johnson
because l thought he was the best
man, but l am ashamed of that vote
now. Mr.. Bond talks very loudly Of
Mr.. Johnson's Americanism and says
he hopes he will win for if he does he
will be president of the United States
and not of Europe. If that wouldn't
make dog laugh l don't know what
would. We all know that Mr.. John
sons principal Americanism consists
in helping to kill the league of ma
tions in the United States senate,
being one of the fifteen bitter enders
that did not hesitate to nullify the
victory our boys fought for and won
on the battle fields of France, and to
turn our victory into political
squabble that defeated the treaty and
gave Germany a diplomatic victory
after they had lost the war on the
battle field. But what is that to Mr..
Johnson if he could make political
capital from it that he hoped would
land him in the white house? But we
hope not. The American people will
see to it that they get a statesman
in the presidential chair and not !;
political weather vane of Mr.. john
sons type.
The people of California know Mr..
johnson better now and his cowbell
tactics will not work again with
them. Lincoln said "You can fool
some of the people some of the time
but you can't fool all the people all
the time," and California has got
wise SO if all signs don't miscarry
I think the republicans Of California
will send solid Hoover delegation
to the national convention. If the
North Dakota farmers are as wide
awake as they used to be when the
writer lived in your state they won't
let Mr.. Johnson pull his political wool
over their eyes by blowing hot Cali
fornia air into their faces.
Very respectfully ypurs,
L. c. Stenquist.

Drastic Action

Announcement of the government S

is expected soon from Attorney Cen
eral Palmer. Department of justice
agents throughout the country, who
have been watching every new devel-
opment in the rail crisis, have report
ed their findings for the informa-
tion of officials who will determine
the nature and course of federal ac-
tion and were understood to be seek

nection of the 1. w. W. with the strike
movement
Congressional action as to the
strike has been withheld pending Or
ganization of the labor board, provid-
ed for by the transportation act. Pres

The presidents railroad labor
board took the center of the stage in
the rail strike situation, it being
generally regarded as an important
factor in the effort to end the ''illegal'
strike that has spread over the coun-
try.
Railroad officials and brotherhood
leaders also were looking Monday for
the expected announcement by Attor-
ney General Palmer Of the govern
ment's attitude toward the strike.
Both railroad and union officials
have reiterated that the railroads are
powerless to raise wages until the
railroad board reviewed the requests
now pending. Appointment of the
board is expected to prove powerful
lever in getting the men to return to
work, and await the government IS
action.
The Pennsylvania and New York
Central railroads have been asked by
the department of justice to send the
names Of all their striking employees
and to indicate who of them were
leaders in the walkout.
The Pensylvania and New York

The lnterchurch group team put on
its program at Oakes, Thursday
evening and Friday morning, April
8 and 9. Though invitations had been
sent to every church in the county,
only the M. E. church of Glendale
was represented by delegate, out
side of the Oakes churches. An ap-
preciative audience Of Oakes people
attended the program for the evening
session. The Rev. E. A. Deake, lead
err of the team, outlined the work Of
the movement, the need of co-opera-
tive action, and the suggested plan of
procedure. Mrs. A. Rottweiler said in
part that the work of the churches
could be made effective through con-
sultation and cooperation. She spoke
of cooperation of women with wom-
en-, women with men, and church with
church. We must believe the task of
world evangelization can be done, and
united under one head, Jesus Christ,
obey the divine command with mill
tant precision. (This does not imply
organic union.) The world has one

Frank Atkinson of Darlington gave
an illustrated lecture, showing Ian

In the morning Rev. Atkinson out
lined the financial campaign plan. The
Interchurch budget is merely the sum
of the budgets of the thirty co-operat-
ing denominations. Rev. Walker, pro-
fessor Of psychology in Fargo col
lege, gave the principal address,
which was attended by body of the
high school students. He spoke of the
permanent feature of the movement
as being the fourfold emphasis on in
tercession, stewardship, life service,
and missionary education.
Rev. Deake emphasized the work of
the movement in the field of construc-
tive evangelism, and stated that while
there were times when special evan
gelistic meetings were valuable, the
main task of the church was con-
tinuous evangelism carried on through
the individual members of the church.
