THE GRAB ACT.

Two of the five justices of the
declared the Brinton newspaper grab
act to be constitutional and since the
rather extraordinary law of the
state makes a four to one decision
Of the highest tribunal necessary to
i~nvalidate' any legislative act, the
decision of this minority apparently
brings to an end the attempt TO
nullify by legal steps the action of
the Townley majority in the state
legislature designed to throttle the
independent press of the state.
Throughout the whole controversy
h Townley press has carefully
avoided any reference to the most
obnoxious feature of the law, namely.
that permitting the state printing
commission to designate the official
paper in every county of the state
until the e general election and
has sought to create the impression
that the attack of the independent
press has been directed against that
part of the law which gives the vot-
ers of each county the right to des-
ignate such paper every two years
beginning next November.
These tactics are merely a part
OF. the campaign Of mis~representa-
ton with which the Socialist papers
hope to continue to fool the people of
North Dakota. and an understanding
of the r facts of the Situation is
rapidly spreading.
Thus it is highly probable that
many Of the Town1ey papers who
have been reaping a harvest from
legal and official advertising since
their designation by the printing
commission as official papers, may
find the law a boomerang when the
voters are given a chance to express
their own desires as to which paper
shall be so designated, at the polls in
November. !.

FOR AN INDUSTRIAL TRUCE.

Governor Harding of the Federal
Reserve Board, recently made the
statement that an industrial truce OF
six months would do more to bring
down prices than any other one
thing. This assertion is corroborated
by a statistical authority who has re-
Gently made a t%abulation of the cost
of strikes. .
In August and September there
were in this Country five hundred and
eighty strikes, which involved three
hundred and eighty thousand men
and caused three million, one hundred
and ninety Thousand days of idleness.
More than forty-one million dollars
were lost in wages to the workers, and
ore than four million dollars were
lost in profits to the employers.
n those are only the first costs
of strikes. The loss to employers
through the year amounts to more
than two million tons of coal, two
million pairs of shoes and thirty
seven million garments.
Recorded strikes have taken Mace
within the past year in ninety differ
ent trades, including coal mining,
metals and sheet industries, paper
and printing. building trades and ship
building, garments and hat industries.
canning, FURNITURE and lumber manu-
featuring. To the public this means
that there is actually less to consume
nj more to pay for what is con-
sumed.
1t is highly unfortunate that the
task of war reconstruction should
have been made, so much more diff
cult by the greatest strike epidemic in
our history.
Governor Harding Is right. We
need an industrial truce for six
months. and as much longer as nos
siblc. Every influence shout b.
brought to bear to induce employers
and employed to see their own inter
ests in proper perspective and to
work to gether in corporation to re-
alize their mutual welfare.-Minne-

CONSTRUCTING REAL PROGRESS.

Over in Minnesota the people arc
| to vote at the next election on the
proposed Babcock road law which
| provides for a complete system o.
J hard surfaced highways for the en-
tire state The carrying out of this
! plan would apparently be of grea'
benefit, especially to the farmers te
| whom, moro than n other class
perhaps. good roads are of vital i'm
portance. Incidentally the long end
/ Of the cost of the proposed work
will be borne by residents of the
cities.
In spite Of these facts the Mime
sofa organ Of the Nonpartisan
league is apparently doing its best
to give the farmers the impression
that the proposed law is some sort
of A Skin game which is being put
across by Big Biz" Just what the
nefarious plot is supposed to be is
not made clear, but every effort is
being made to create an atmosphere
of dark suspicion.
The only reason for this opposi-
ton that is visible to the naked eye
is the fact that Governor Burnquist
of Minnesota is said to be in favor
of the plan. The governor is usually
portrayed in the farmers press as
being fully equipped with horns,
hoofs and tail, and any plan, no mat
ter how excellent, of which he may
approve would probably be opposed
by Mr.. Townley and his followers.
The people of Minnesota are quito
capable Of managing their own af-
fairs without help from North Da-
kota, but it may be remarked with
out any imrnrtincnce, hat it will be
a very grea pity if this cry impor-
tant forward step is held up simply
because Mr.. Townley has not seen
fit to grace it with his approval.

PASSING THE BURDEN.

not be shifted BY those upon whom It
