The leaders of the Nonpartisan
league are apparently relying more
than ever on their ability to play on
the passions and prejudices of the
voters instead of convincing them by
reasoning. They are charging with
more vehemence than ever that the
Independent Voters association Il. V.
Az is maintained financially by some
corporation, individual or set of in-
lividuAls that are enemies of the
farmer and that the things that are
done by the l. V. A ARE suggested by
some sinister influence that has any
thing but the welfare of the common
people Of North Dakota at heart. The
leaders of the independent Voters as
sociaton have challenged the makers
of these charges time and again to
produce single fact to prove their
| charges but none has come and none
can be produced.
| The Independent Voters association
makes it's plea for financial support
open and above board. The support
comes in the form of membership fees
and voluntary donations and special
campaign fund apportiOnment among
those who are opposed to Townleyism
and willing to help to get the facts
.b0ut it to the average voter who has
been misled by people who have had
his confidence under the guise of be-
ing his friends.
Beginning Of |. v. A. "Siush Fund.-"
The first money for the Independent
Voters association came in the form
of a number of $500 payments made
by citizens from Steele and Griggs
counties. Later this was augmented
by the organization Of the association
for statewide campaign and the
establishment of two membership
fees A regular membership fee which
was $1,000, and included years sub
scription to The Independent. The
other was development membership
fee of $25.OO or more which included
Il subscription to The Independent tt
the member for the period Of hi
membership and six months sub
scription to one other person for eacl
$500 paid in the form of develop
| ment membership fee.
| In order to get the association
launched on statewide scale, loan
of $4,000 per individual were aske'
for in February 1919, among thos
who were already awakened to tn
dangers that lurked in Townleyisn
Eighty-five persons responded to thi
call for loans. These loans were pal
back by setting aside as loan repay
mcnt fund, $500 out of each develop
ment membership fee that was pai
until the amount so set aside was sui
ficient to pay back all such loans.

stayed at home, and much North Da-
kota wheat crossed the Red to get a
better market in Minnesota.
Such barefaced lies will come home
to roost. A gang that resorts to such
baldcrdash must be in the last ditch.
It's pity that Professor Ladd's name
should be used as a cloak for such
falsehoods.
Only the hope that a lie spread thick
enough will always leave some stick
ing. especially among those who either
do not read at all or do not read any
thing but the claims and arguments Of
one side, could give even the Townley-
ized with it's gall and nerve, courage
enough to put such fantastic and
untruthful claim in print.

Political Control Through Money


and more eQuipment)
Political Control Through Money
Control.
In the juggling of our tax system
to smuggle in single tax ideas. such
laws and rules have been made that |
many of our well-to-do school districts
are now compelled to operate largely
on outstanding warrants. The Hatton
school district. Traill county, one of
the richest school districts in the
state, will have between seven and
ten thousand dollars worth of its
paper on the market. In the state
bank. did someone say? No, sir 4!
Neither can the Hatton school district
borrow from it's local banks as it has
done for thirty years, without per-
mission from the Bank of North Da-
kOta. All of our public school money
is now placed in the hands OF the
Townley gang instead of remaining in
the hands of the people that raised
it by paying their taxes. Local bank
ers have always arranged to take care
of the schools during the short sea-
son. Not 80 with the Bank of North
Dakota, that now has charge of the
school funds. 1t evidently has friends
nearer and dearer that must be taken
care of.
Before any tax can be levied for
taking up outstanding warrants, these
must be registered at Bismarck in the
Bank of North Dakota. This places
the control of the school districts
financial affairs under the thumb of
the industrial commission and the po-
litical gang that controls our state
government. If the school board hap
pens to be 'friendly" one, a way can
perhaps be found to accommodate it.
If not, it will have to find its own way
with no credit ut the bank where it's
money must be deposited, and, Of
course. no credit at any bank with
which it can not do business without
|
the money.
Teachers Leavine-officers Resignina.
The best Of our teachers are leaving
the state because Of being compelled
to court favors from an unscrupulous
radical political gang. The best peo-
pie in every community are resigning
as school officers because of the un-
usual and unnecessary reports and
reports that are required by the Bank
of North Dakota in order to keep it's
accounts with the school district
straight.
Our public schol system is being
paralyzed because of the injection of
partisan politics. The people of each
school district who in thirty years
have been able to build up our schools
so that our state was rated as fifteenth
in the Union, cannot now be trusted
with the management Of their own
schools. The higher institutions are
being piloted into the seas of social.

PARALYz|NG our SCHOOLS

In their effort to befog issues and to
mislead and misrepresent for the
purpose of gaining and keeping poll
tical control, the leaders of the Nom
partisan League have applied these
tactics not only to the grown people
of our day. They have set out de-
1iberately to mold the minds Of the
coming generation In their favor by
Nmeans Of our public school system.
Truths that the children should
know are kept away from them.
Claims of achievement under huzy
economic theories are being put for
ward as facts. When the mind is
given falsehoods for facts we are in a
bad way. No one can arrive at sound
conclusions If he reasons from false
premise.
Tyrants Fear Honest Education.
The government which we now have
In North Dakota is tyrannical gov
Z ernment, not democracy. Unlimited
concentration Of unusual power in the
hands Of public officials is tyranny.
1t matters not whether such powers
are voted into the hands of elective
or appointive officers or If they are
arrogated by the rules themselves.
Tyrants have always recognized en-
lightenment and education as their
mortal enemy. The political gang in
control of our state government also
recognizes that just as soon as the
people get the facts with reference to
all the League claims and theories
there will be wholesale desertion from
the Townley ranks.
Regulation, Control and Pollution.
An honest effort has always been
made to teach facts and how to get
at facts in our schools. The leaders
of the Nonpartisan League realize, of
course, that political control based on
Misrepresentation and misinforma-
ton cannot last long with our public
school system and educational institu-
tions functioning normally. Therefore,
the schools must be gotten at some
how in order to attain the desired
end. Political regulation, control and
pollution has been resorted to. Teach.
ers' certificates are issued by ap-
pointees Of the gang instead of by
the elected superintendent of public
instruction. School boards are put in
such positions that they must be
"friends" of the administration or be
embarrassed financially in the hand
; ling Of the schools In their charge
Our school libraries are being filled
with books and magazines that pro
pound the doctrines of socialism
syndicalism. anarchy and radicalism
in all forms. The books that defend
the fundamental principles Of popular
government are thrown out and maga
zines of the same type are stopped
from coming to the reading rooms
Local school boards are prohibited by
a 20 per cent limit law from svyinl
enough taxes to take care of necessar,
current expenses. (Everything tha

chalk to cost of teachers, has in

ZEBRA, A THESP|AN
ARTIST BELIEVES IN
REDUCING EXERCISE

Zelvo performing zebra coming to
Ardmore with Yankee Robinson wild
animal circus Wednesday, Oct. 13,
is under strenuous training to reduce
the girth Of his waistline.
No one ever saw a thespian artist
with a heavy waistlne so when Zelyo
decided to become hula dancer he
was handicapped not only with a
heavy waistline but stripes that ac-
centuated his girth.
However his trainer who had been
reduced to sylph like slimness through
MS army training decided to give
Zelvo a tryout. A course Of fright
over left and cleft over right" ex-
ercises full and half squats inter-
sperced with deep breathing is the
morning exercises this African wild
horse goes through.
After the afternoon performance
each day Zelvo is given course of
leg extension" and "hip movements
that would make a hula dancer jeal-
Gus.
Although Zelvo has been under
training less than a month he is de-
veloping a slender waistline and will
soon be placed among the unusual
animals that are winning favor in
the eyes of the public by their novel
and unusual abilities as real perform
ers.
A parade will be given showday
morning scheduled to leave the circus
grounds at 1890 a. m. Doors to the
big show open at ! and p. m.

indications at this time are that the
term will be short one as there ap-
pear to be but few cases that will
require any considerable length of
time for trial. However, all calcu-
lations upon the length OF time re-
quired for trials are purely specu-
lative as frequently cases which seem
comparatively easy of settlement de-
yelop features that make them long
drawn out.
