When one stops to think of the mil
lions of dollars filched by Townley and
his crew from the farmers of this
state, we are led to wonder whether
or not the Chamber of Commerce has
ever had anything on him for getting
the coin. What have they given US
that is beneficial? The Consumers
Store was a frost. The Emmons
County Farmers Press corporation
was worse. These things, and the
league membership dues, count into
real money. The Bank of North Da-
kota has raised Ned with things in
general. Real estate loans promised
in such glowing terms, have not ma
terialized. The BODYBUILDING law
hasn't provided single home in En-
mons county. The construction work
on the mill and elevator at Grand
Forks has been stopped for lack of
funds. Higher prices for wheat have
been promised, and the market is the
worst in years. Taxes on farm lands
have shot skyward. Townley prompt
ly explained the higher taxes followed
from high prices. But town home
owners aren't paying one-third as
much = they did before. Why not?
A buncn of tramp socialists and shift
less farmers Of the Fritz Argast type
have made some easy money organic
ing. A lot of new high-salaried state
jobs have been created. And now
the league has lost control of the
house of representatives and has
practically an. even break in the SEN
ate. Townley has "fiew the COOP
and is shaking down the Kansas far
mers. Lemke has become a new die
tator. In the meantime, Roy Yeater
and some Of the rest are trying to dig
w money to pay the indebtedness
against thir defeated league news
paper.
Gentlemen, of the nonpartisan
league, isn't it about time to put
away the hickory club? Isn't it about
time to see if the brains on both sides
of the political fence can be used to-
gether to solve some of the problems
that confront US? The independents
in Emmons county will be glad to
meet you half way.

We are told that the managers of
the leagues various newspaper enter
prises were called to secret meeting
at Bismarck last week to devise ways
and means of making the "ghost
walk" They are said to have "reso-
luted" that the local business houses
should Cooperate" with the farm
owned newspapers. We presume that
they would agree to quit calling the
bankers money huns" under such con-
ditions. And we .opine that would be
more diplomatic than they have been
in the past when they informed
the world that said business men were
drinking the farmers milk and suck
ing the farmers eggs"
It may be true that the business
men have been prone to drink said
milk and eat said eggs occasionally,
but it is reported on good authority
that once in a while the said business
men provide the wherewithal of. a
good feed once in a while, and some-
times wait a reasonably long time for
their pay. All of which tends to
show that our interests are really
somewhat in common. "There is so
much good in the worst Of US, and so
much bad in the best of us; it hardly
behooves any Of US to talk i'll of the
rest Of us. e

THE NEW YEAR

Oh, white are the years, the gald
New Years,
Washed with the rain of repentant
tears
For the evil deed and the evil thought,
For the impulse good which nothing
wrought,
For the kindly word which YVES never
said, ...
And the task undone while the bright
hours Sped.
For these we weep, and the New Year
comes
With plumes washed white, to our
waiting homes;
We welcome him in, while the joy
bells chime
Hopes sweetest songs of a happier
time,
When our Grant feet shall never
stray
From Duty's paths to a wider way.
But dark are the Years, the sad Old
Years,
When the tale is told of their griefs
and fears;
They bear the burden of hopes laid
low,
Of the high. resolve and the hearts
pure glow
Trailed low in the dust; and with
bitter cry,
And sullied plumage, the Years go
by.
o heart, my heart, the Years grow
old!
Hopes brightest beams are strangely
cold;
Watch thou the hours which pass on
wings,
Do thou the duty each one brings;
So shall the years be still thy friend,
And pass dnsullied at the end.

ducing organization of farmers. His
plan provides that the growers will
contract to sell to their organization
their entire Observation-Disclosures it
may be-without any specified price.
The selling organization-with suf-
ficient capital to handle the business
will contract with the millers and
exporters to furnish the amount of
grain wanted-also without a set
price. Then, the, organization will
guarantee to determine the just figure
of producing and selling expense.
They will then add to that figure a
legitimate proft-and the price de-
manded for the product with the price
thus arrived at. In this manner, the
consumer will get the product at the
lowest price conformable with rea-
sonable profit for the grower and
handler. The farmer will be assured
in advance that he will have a sure
and certain profit from his labor.
The fiuctuation of prices will be elm
mated, if this plan works. and all the
hullabaloo about "Big Biz" and kin
dred hate-producing campaigns will
fall fiat.
The plan outlined above is brief
resume of the plan proposed. The
Record is securing information on the
subject and will go into details in fu-
ture issues.
It isn't necessary to "fall' for every
hair-brained political dogma that may
be presented in order to be "friend
of the farmer. "And it will not be long
now until the average farmer will
have discovered that it does no good
to attempt to fly from one unsatis-
factory condition to some ether vision
airy scheme which shows no evidence
Of either being safe nor even proposed
in good faith.
North Dakota has already suffered
much from suspicion. and hatred
among it's people. Let US hope that
the next year will see the healing of
many of the wounds caused, and, at
the same time, some reasonable i'm.
provement in the condition of the ag-
riculturist. This isn't politics; it's
business. Politics are another mat
ter. 1ncompetents in public office; po.
litical buccaneers should be weeded
out, whether they are found in the
ranks of the Nonpartisan League, the
I. v. A., or any other political fac
ton. To that end the Record stands
ready and willing at all times to ded-
icate it's efforts.
Let us examine into each others
grievances in a spirit of friendship
and fellowship. And the less hard
names handled back and forth among
nieghbors, the better.
Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1920-12-30

With this issue of the Record an
other year is practically at close.
1920 has been a year of ups and
downs for the people of the North
west. After several years of poor
to bad crops, reasonable yield was
received, only to find a market smash
ed to pieces. A fifty per cent drop
turned prosperity into serious finan-
cial trouble. Unlimited credit ex-
tended by banks and stores reacted
both on those institutions and on the
persons receiving the credit. Many
financial institutions have been on the
ragged edge, and a numbershave gone
under. All these things, coupled
with bitter warfare waged between
neighbor and neighbor, have helped to
make things look pretty blue. How
ever, it is not the first time that ad-
verse conditions have been met and
conquered by the home-builders Of the
Northwest. And Emmons county
generally compares well with the rest
of the state and with adjoining states.
The Westfield country is~in especially
good condition, due primarily to pol
icy of corn and hogs rather than
embarrassing. The Hazelton neigh
borhood seems to be the hardest hit,
as large amount of wheat acreage
was sown in that part of the county,
and the farmers nearly all failed to
sell when the price was good, having
been advised to hold for So.
Little wheat is being sold, and col
lections are poor. Business concerns
that have advanced considerable credit
are unable to collect, and their credi-
tors are pushing them from the other
side. However, there is every indi-
cation that most of the people will
come through in fair shape, and prob
ably \ year from now, when adjust
ments have been made, they will again
be on the highway to prosperity.
Emmons county has gone through
hard times, and has come out all right.
The prospects are far from hopeless.
