in the cities may have something
to add to the program. They
may say "the state has taken

to take over the farms" Why
not? Let's think it over. The
nonpartisan league program in
North Dakota calls for state
ownership and operation of all
industries and utilities. OF
course the farmers have no in
tention of letting the state own
and operate their farms and as

Corns and Bunions

~AYBE it's just a foolish
wv fancy, maybe it's because
we are just childish enough to
find delight in fairy tales, but
for some reason or other the
more we consider the activities
of the nonpartisan league in this
state the more we are reminded
of Cinderella and her golden
slipper. ".Then her mother gave
her a knife and said, cut the toe
off; when thou are queen thou
wilt have no more need to 60 on
foot The maiden cut the toe
off; when thou art queen thou
swallowed the pain, and went out
to the Kings SON." But she fail
ed to make good and returned.
The amputating program was
practiced on the younger daugh-
ter's heel with no more satisfac-
tory results. But we are told
the slipper fitted the foot of
Cinderella like a glove.
The nonpartisan league lays
its claim for the favor of Wash
ington farmers upon it's record
of achievements in North OAK
ota. Ask a member of the league
why he believes it will prove a
success and he answers: "It
worked in North Dakota THE
slipper fitted Cinderella. The
more we study the causes which
brought the league into being,
and the physical, economic, and
political conditions which exist
ed in North Dakota at the time
of it's organization and contrast
those conditions with those of
our own state, the more we are
convinced that fitting the North

class legislation was peoples
legislation, and class rule, peo-
peoples rule. IF not only all the
farmers of this state, but all of
the rural population, including
the village merchant, lawyer doc
tor, and country editor were to
organize they could muster a
strength of only forty-seven
per cent. Fifty-three per cent of
Washington's population lives in
the cities. In three cities of
Seattle, Spokane and Tacoma
there are as many people as
there are in the whole of North
Dakota, and there are practical
ly as many registered voters in
the city of Seattle today as there
are voters in North Dakota.
Washington has an urban class,
and an urban problem. North
Dakota has none. North Dako-
ia is a single-industry state,
Washington is not. North Dako-
ia is exclusively a wheat farm
ing state; Washington is not.
Washington has a great lumber
ing industry, a great ship-build-
ing industry, a great fisheries in
dustry, a great mineral industry,
North Dakota has not. Wash
ington has a great and growing
foreign shipping trade. North
Dakota has not. In 1914 Wash
ington had more than a quarter
billion dollars invested in manu-
featuring and the value of its
manufactured products was
greater than the value of North
Dakota's entire farm crop-yes
greater than Washington's en-
tire farm crop.

what are we going to do with
these industries-these big toes
and protruding heels? Lop 'em
off? just where are we going
to start and where stop? After
we have built state-owned ele-

owned cold storages and by-pro-
ducts plants for the fruit farm

dIIucIS grievances were OuC.
standing, definite and specific;
where the government was con-
Quoted in open and continued de-
fiance of the oft repeated de-
mands of the farmers. Prior to
1914 the statute books of North
Dakota showed not a single rec
ord of progressive or so-called re-
form legislation, with the excep-
ton of a direct primary
and a prohibition law. We are
told that for twelve long
years the people, the 80 per cent
had been clamoring to no avail
for a square deal and a redress of
their wrongs. Their rights were
submerged in the political man.
euvering of the grain trust
which owned the elevators, grad
ed the wheat, fixed the price, and
determined the rate of interest
the farmer was to pay for bor-
rowed money, which was the
highest rate paid by farmers III
any state in the Union.
Then came the nonpartisan
league. What was it? Was it an
organized movement which pro-
posed to lead the way along new
and unblazed trails Of govern
mental and political reform? 1t
was not. It was an eleventh
hour rally of the farmers of
North Dakota to secure for
themselves those things which
were already enjoyed by the peo-
pie in the more progressive
states of the union. It was fore
ed into existence by definite
specific abuses and to succeed it
had to but proceed along a single
track toward a single goal. It
copied the political reforms of
other states-Washington in
cluded-and sought to secure by
constitutional amendment and
legislative enactment certain &C.
onOmic reforms which had long
been in operation in other states
as cooperative enterprises.
Now the nonpartisan league
of North Dakota comes to the
state of Washington, what for?
We have asked this question Of
several farmers who are men,
bers of the league. Their ans
wer has been, the league has
saved the farmers of North OAK
ota hundreds of thousands of
dollars through the operation of
the hail insurance law, the rural
credits law and broken trust rule
through the enactment of initia-
tive, referendum and recall, has
protected the farmer by the state
bank guaranty law, and protect
ed the laborer by means Of the
workman's compensation act,
etc. Good enough! And right
here's the rub. The nonpartisan
league is finding favor among
the farmers of this state today
because of what it has done in
North Dakota and not because
of what it can and will do in the
state of Washington. If we are
going to be nonpartisan leaguers
because the league gave North
Dakota hail insurance, rural
credits and bank guarantees.
Why shouldn't we be republic
cans or democrats? The republic
cans and democrats gave South
Dakota all Of these years before
the nonpartisan league came
into existance, and we are told
by Governor Norbeck of South
Dakota, that North Dakota's
farm loan lazy is a failure COM
pared with South Dakota's law
which has been in successful
Operation for years. If we are
going to be nonpartisan leaguers

pie of North Dakota the initia-
