1t is not so many years ago that

ers boot about the home people
whom they pretend to be so worried
about now. When the. matter of
building the terminal elevator (Which
the majority of bona fide citizens
of North Dakota endorsed with their
votes twice with large majorities)
was pressing them did the old gang
abide by the decision Of the home
people or did they go to the repre-
sentatives of the grain interests and
ask their advice as to the wisdom of
building the terminal elevator? The
same clique that fought the terminal
after the home people had expressed
themselves in favor it with their
ballots are the ones who have the
most to say in the I. v. A.

AMERICAS MOST REAC-
TInNADN nnNnn

Speaking from the viewpoint of
the interests the late reactionary
Congress, which is supposed to rep
resent the people, did we'll the bid
ding it's overseer, Big Business.
The record of the late Congress is
one which any of our many prof.
teers and their hangers on may feel
we'll pleased over. What is the re-
cord of this supposedly representa-
tive body of the people? Some Of it's
many achievements which are in the
interests of the great mass of Ameri-
cans are as follows:
Passed the Cummins-Esch rail-
road bill validating eight billion dol
lars of watered stock, guaranteeing
6 per cent dividends on good and bad
railroad securities, compelling in
creases of from twenty-five to fifty
per cent in freight rates.
Passed shipping bill providing for
the transfer of the nations magnifi-
cient merchant marine, which cost
three billion dollars of the peoples
money to the private interests. 1t is
estimated that the initial cost of the
billion dollars.

bill, which will enable monopolies
to grab the best coal and oil lands
ii owned by Uncle Sam. While
Congress was giving away the ma
ton oil land, the Navy Denart,r~
was finding it impossible to secure
an adequate supply of oil for its
warships at reasonable rates.
Passed the .waterpower bill which
presented the tremendous WATERFOWL
er sites of the public domain to the
private interests. The President kill
ed this bill on the last day Of the
session.
Such is the record Of the late Con.
gress. 1t can we'll be called the most
reactionary Congress this country
has rel had to represent it. Con.
gressmen Baer was one of the few
member of this Congress who refus'
ed to stand! by and see the common
people of this country robbed OF
their rightful goods without a pro
test. Such men as Baer are what is
needed to stop the pilfering Of this
countries natural wealth by the Big
Business interests.

Some of the opportunities which
the late Congress had for doing
something for the people, as p whole,
of this country are quite interesting
when reviewed. Laws could have
been passed dealing with the pref
teer but this was not done. Alec,
Congress refused to tax the billions
of excess war profits which were ,se-
vealed by official reports. Another
act which Congress refused to pass
which would have been Of great in
terest to the people as a whole was
the Kenyon-Hendrick hill to regulate
the packing trust. And no law was
passed which would have allowed
the taxing of stock dividends, this
permitting great corporations to
evade millions OF excess-profits tax.
