Eve. day makes it seem more GER
tain that Lynn j. Frazier and VIM.
LANCER will be the contending can
didates for the republican nomination
for governor Of North Dakota next
June.
The leaguers don't dare to go into
thu fight with any other candidate
than Frazier. The -Townleyites
have been favored by providence in
such an ideal candidate as LANCER
LANCER has the dope on the league
bosses. He has exposed much of their
rotten tricks, and he has much more
on them to deliver.
Some have complained that LANCER
was too young to be governor. These
people should remember that LANCER
has pitted himself against ak the
money and brains of the Townley
crew-and he has whipped them at
every turn of the road.
Their isn't a better fighter in the
state than the present attorney gener-
al of North Dakota.
With LANCER leading the fight, it
will be "back to the farm" for "Em-
peror" Lynn j., and "off for greenar
pastures" for Townley and his galaxy
of blood-suckers.

The law should have provided for
supervision in the us of the poison.
1t certainly did no good to have one
farmer use the poison if his neighbor
did not. Either it should have been
used generally, or not at all.
And did the results warrant the ex-
penditure? This question is the most
generally argued today. Some who
have used it claim that it did the bust
ness. Others claim that :nere were
enough grasshoprers left to ruin the
Grain, inspite of the use of the poison.
There is no way of definitely deter
mining this point. But, if the poison
did do the business, the proof could
be determined unquestionably if users
were forced to pay the cost price in
the future. Any efficient farmer, if
he believed in the efficiency Of the
stuff, would use it just as quickly if
paying for what he used.
The law has been amended some
"udC, CHc NlOSG ilpO1 CdIlC pO1uI NC
ing that the poison must be mixed
and prepared before being given away.
Lemonad for the family and bran
for the chickens will be less comon in
the futuref. The remark was often
r'ada nv applicants last summer:
swell, I'll have to pay my share of the
tax so I might as we'll get what can
of the stuff"
Whether or not the bran will effect
lively rid US of the grasshopper pest,
if rightly used, it is certain that no
such expenditures should be made an
other year as in the case of last sea-
son. sit would be just as sensible to
try to brand 'em or to put neckties on
the little pests. ...
Nearly forty thousand dollars went
to the grasshoppers, or was supposed
to have been so used, last summer
That amount of money would have
paid the army of hungry hangers-on
of the new state administration.
Grasshoppers and the "New Day.
are causing hundreds of taxpayers
to squirm right now when they inter-
view the county treasurer.

Poor old Fay Harding. To think
that after he has been 50 faithful to
the Townley crew that his reward
should be snatched from him just at
time when he thought he had it
safely in his grasp.
It must be heart-breaking to be
placed on a select committee of five
of the faithful with $25, 900 fund for
expense money, and suddenly see the
whole thing blow up in smoke.
But that's just what has happened.
When the supreme court gave H. B.
60 black eye, it kicked the props
out from under the notorious SMELL
ing committee and their $4,000 fol-
expenses. Whatever pussyfooting Fay
may do for Townley in the coming pri.
mary election, he must do at his own
expense or on the league payroll
The state funds will be beyond his
reach until after the big fight is over

other system of distribution, which
was suggested to US by an Glendale
soldier who returned from France this
summer. "Since it is impossible to
pay all the soldiers at once," that man
said, "why not give the fellows who
were in the service the longest period,
the first payment?
And we heartily agree with him.
It seems only fair that the fellows
who were in the service, and therefore
away from their civil life positions,
the longest, should be shown the first
consideration. The men who filed their
applications first were, as a general
thing, the mn who returned home
soonest, and it looks as though the
system of paying according to the
date of filing applications rather gives
the fellows who got home first the
benefit, and penalties those who were
in the service the longest.
AS we understand the law, the en-
tire handling of this bonus matter
rests with the Adjutant General. We
do not know tina he has irrevocably
committed himself to the plan of pay
ing in the order of filing. We do not
even say that the new plan has not
been considered, or that it is practical.
Thse questions would necessarily have
to be decided by Adiutant General
Fraser. But we do believe that our
plan is fairer to the soldiers of the
state, and is worthy of his serious con-
sideration; an6 with that in mind, we
submit it.

Expenditures for grasshopper poi
son during the season of 1919 proved
to be one of the heaviest items in the
matter of county taxes.
The history of this grasshopper bus
mess has been written. 1t is possible
to arrive at few conclusions, at least,
in this matter. Let us see whether or
not it was a needless expense, or
whether or not there was unnecessary
expense.
First of all, how did this expenditure
come about? It was done by the
county commissioners in complying
with petition of ten per cent of the
voters of the county. The regular
session of the legislature made sur
provision.

MEAT PRICES COMING DOWN


Meat prices are coming down.
Subnormal rates of foreign ex-
change precipitated the tumble, and
It was predicted by the best authori-
ties that 1t would be permanent.
For, while the exchange rates
may go back to normal shortly, the
permanency of low priced meats will
have been made secure by then thru
resumption of pre-war meat indus
tries in foreign countries.
Hence housewives may expect by
summertime to be paying pre-war
prices for their meats and packing
honse by-products-lard etc.
The beginning of the end of the
butchers war prices was seen in a
statement issued by the Institute of
American Meat Packers, which in
cludes in its membership small indie
pendents as well as the big Five"
packers.
The statement showed that Eng
land, for instance, has on hand sew
en- months supply of bacon and that
its future needs are amply provided
for from other than American cour-
ces.
This means that American bacon,
hitherto exported to England. must
find its market in this country. The
surplus thus created in the United
States must force down the price of
bacon here.
The statement further shows that
exports of all American packing
house products to Germany, Bel
GUM, France, Scandinavia, Italy
and Holland have practically ceas-
ed, and that in Holland American
Packers agents are recommending
the return to this country of many
stores that are now held there.

aos DEATHS on HIGHWAYS

Iowans to the number Of 203 were
killed in accidents on the state high
ways during 1919. There were a
total of 2809 accidents and 270S
people suffered injuries comprising
broken bones and badly cut and
bruised bodies. These reports are
compiled by the State Highway Com
mission and are based entirely upon
newspaper clippings.
1t is interesting to note that the
total number of accidents has been
showing slight decline during the
past three years. In 1917 there were
PSI deaths with 237 in 1918. There
were a total number of 500 acct
dents IN 1917 with total of 3027 in
1918. In 1917, sos people were
seriously hurt with 3450 in 1918.
Sixty-two were killed In railroad
crossings in 1917 and the same num-
Der in 1918. In 1919 the total
crossing victims were so. These
figures might seem to indicate that
Iowans are driving more carefully,
probably shocked into saner driving
by total Of 721 deaths in three
years and a total of 1926 serious
accidents in the, same period with
over 1900 people picked up from
the highways with broken bones and
mangled bodies.
