it to the people of Bottineau County to
ask the w. C. T. U. Leaders in this
state if conditions have not been
changed so that Bismarck is as NOR
al a city during the legislature ses-
sions since the Farmers regime as any
other city in the state during the same
period. Furthermore what Legislation
did Mr.. Garden ever propose to cor
rect the evils that existed during his
period of office-None.
The Farmers Legislature passed
Sen. Bill No. 81, introduced by Sena-
tor Ward, which is an act defining
Prostitution, Lewdness and Assigna-

forceful law on immortality that is
written on the Statutes of any state
in our Union.

NOTED ATTORNEY
SCORES LANCER
BROTHER OF SECRETARY OF
NAVY SAYS PIKE MADE ONLY
PLEA FOR INDUSTRIES

Newspaper hostile to the admins
tration in North Dakota have chal-
lenged the authenticity of the reports
of the hearing before the United
States Supreme Court of the AZ tax
payers suit against thesindustrial pro-
gram of the. state of North Dakota.
C. C. Daniels, brother Of the Secretary
Of the Navy, and himself a prominent
New York lawyer was present at the
hearing. He wrote personal letter
to James Manahan telling the story
of the feeble defense of the state in
dustries by the representatives of the
Attorney Generals office.
Mr.. Daniels represented the federal
department of justice for three years.
He was engaged in investigating the
Indian land cases in Minnesota and the
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce. In
the course Of his Investigations he
familiarized himself with the grain
marketing situation in the Northwest
and this interest led him to follow the
suit against the state industries
Here is his version of the trial
New York City, April %, 1920.
James Manahan, Esq.
st. Paul, MINI.
Dear Manahan:
l spent Tuesday April twentieth in
Washington, and chanced to be in the
Supreme Court and heard part of the
argument in the two cases involving
the constitutionality Of the North Da-
kota laws. This of course was very in
terestng to me by reason of the fact
that when was in Minneapolis I was,
under the direction of the Department
of Justice, required to investigate the
grain situation Of the Northwest, and
in that way became very familiar with
the situation which brought about the
enactment Of the North Dakota laws.
LANCER Men Hog Time
heard only the argument Of those
who purported to represent the State
Of North Dakota, and who were pre-
sumably in the position Of endeavor-
ing to sustain the constitutionality of
the law. Attorney General LANCER was
present, and Mr.. w. S. Lauder, and
Mr.. S. i. Nuchols argued the case for
him while Mr.. F. s. Pike Of st. Paul,
argued the case for the Governor and
Mr.. William Lemke was present for
that purpose, but the time allotted was
so taken up by others, that he had no
opportunity to say anything. The time
allotted was two hours 70 each side,
and Mr.. Nuchols spoke first for the
defense, consuming forty-five minutes
Of the time. His argument was de-
voted to q discussion Of the technical
propositions that $4,000 was not in

Court Cannot Censor Popular Will
He argued that the question before


He argued that the question before
the Court was whether or not the
constitutional amendments had been
adopted in accordance with the law,
and that the Court had no power to
pass on the judgment Of the people
as to the wisdom of the constitutional
amendments and the laws made in ac-
cordance Herewith.
In discussing the argument ad-
vanced by the Plaintiffs, he said, that
the contentious that the laws passed
in accordance with these constitution
al amendments were in conflict with
the fourteenth amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States for that
private property was thereby taken
without due process of law, is not ten
able. Mr.. Pike said that to make that
argument to the Constitution avail
able, it would be necessary to write
into that amendment such a definition
Of "due process Of law" as was not
justified, and that would change the
entire meaning of that provision of
the Constitution.
Let me repeat that l have seldom
heard a stronger, more forceful and
effective presentation to any Court of
a serious question, than was made by
Mr. Pike in the few minutes that the
Attorney Generals representatives
left him to argue the case. Of course
I do not know what the intention of
the Attorney General and his repre-
sentatives was in the way in which
they presented this case, and the con-
sumption of so large portion of the
time allotted to the defendant, but it
is perfectly evident that of the argu-
ment presented by the Attorney Gen.
erals representatives prevails, that
the case will be dismissed without an
opinion by the Court drelative to the
issuance of bonds or the establishment
or carrying on Of the various agen-
cies provided for by the Legislature
under and by virtue of the Constitu
tional amendments adopted by the
people. I do not see what more the
plaintiffs could ask than to have the
Attorney Generals office succeed. Of
course, l would not for a moment in
innate that the Attorney General and
his counsel were not perfectly sincere
in pressing the technical objections
with view of accomplishing the dis
missal of these cases. However, the
emphasis that they place on the fact
that they differed with Mr.. Pike and
Mr.. Lernke was calculated whether so
intended or not, to divert the mind Of
the Court from the fundamental ques-
tion underlying these constitutional
amendments and the laws passed by
virtue thereof. It struck me however,
| that the Governor of North Dakota
was very wise in being represented by
somebody else than the Attorney Cen
eral and his counsel:
I thought you would be interested
in the impression that this argument
made on me, and I have, therefore,
written you my impression of the
same.
With sincere regards and best wish
es, | am,
Yours sincerely,
c.. c.. Daniels.

volved in the Federal case, and there
fore, the case should be dismissed, and
that the suit in the state case was
practically a suit against the State,
and that since a citizen was not per-
mitted to sue the State, that the case
should be dismissed.
Justice Holmes said to Mr.. Nuchols
that it was incomprehensible to him
that anyone could come there and
claim that the Court ought to dismiss
the case that the highest court in the
state has entertained. He said: "That
Court tells us it has jurisdiction, and
it is our advisor in that respect" Mr..
Nuchols said sarcastically "You should
see that Court and you'd understand"
Emphasize Disagreement
Mr.. Lauder argued that if the Acts
under review provided for the exercise
of a public purpose, that the Acts
might be constitutional, but he left
the impression that it was for the Court
to say whether or not the purpose cf
the Act was public purpose. The en-
phasis Of his argument, however, ap-
peared to me to be devoted to the pur-
pose of impressing on the Court dis
agreement between the Attorney Cen
erals office that he represented, and
the other defendants represented by
Lemke and Pike. He said: "We dis
agree with the attorneys on the 9TH
eI' side-that is we disagree with the
attorneys who represent certain of
the defendants in this case. They con-
tend that the State of North Dakota
can go into any kind of business. That
is not the law, as has been decided by
all the cases in this Court and in the
State Courts"
Messrs. Nuchols and Lauder left
only twenty minutes of the two hours
allotted by the Court to the defendant,
for Lemke and Pike. For that reason
Mr.. Lemke has nothing to say, and the
Court extended Mr.. Pixies time five
minutes.
Pike Makes Real Argument
Mr.. Pixies argument, limited in
time as he was, was an exceptionally
able presentation of the States side
Of the controversy, and it appeared to
me to be the only serious presentation
of the states side Of the controversy.
Mr.. Pike argued that the people of
North Dakota had, through amend
ment to their Constitution, deter
mined what they wanted to do and
that under their sovereign power they
had the right to determine, and that
it was not a question for the Court
to pass on as to whether their decision
was wise or unwise.
He asserted that it was quite as re-
pugnant to the spirit Of our institu-
tions, and to the intent Of our Consti-
futon, that the Court should make a
public purpose private one, as that
the Legislature should make q private
purpose public one. /.
"It is q question" he said, TO be
determined by q higher authority than
either the Legislature or the Courts,
and the people Of North Dakota have
spoken. |"

THE NONPARTISAN LEAGUE
Stoto ~. z, Post, Assistant Secre.
tary 'of Soc'e .ngton, D. C)

Judged by the wise political meth
ods and its achievemnts the Nonparti-
san League is themost hopeful politi-
cal movement in America. Under its
influence the North Dakota state gov
ernment is carrying out the only pro-
gram that offers real relief from the
exactions of monopolistic profiteers.
The measures Of relief adopted in
North Dakota have the double advan-
tage of being effective and of being
so easily understood that the people
cannot be misled into rejecting them.
I am particularly gratified that
North Dakota has adopted a sound and
sensible taxation program. BY exempt
ing farm improvements 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 prosperity of commonwealth
must in the long run depend, not on
the accumulation Of great fortunes by
q few bankers, manufacturers or land.

ening Of the base of industrial democ-
