Dakota, a law which makes one
newspaper. taking all legal notices
from all the other papers, and giving
1t all to the league controlled news
paper.
There Is one statute upon the
books of North Dakota, which in my
Judgment is a. very dangerous one.
1t is the one known as the home
builders law" which authorizes the
use of the power of eminent domain
to take private property for private
use. In no other state in the union
will there be found statute which
enables the state In behalf OF Itself
or anyone else, to take private prop
erty except for public use. This law
makes 1t possible to take one mans
home away from him to give 1t to
another.
Poor Farmer Pays.
Another dangerous statute on the
books of North Dakota, is the law
relating to taxation of lands. The
law provides for the taxation OF
farm lands at full value and exempt
ing taxation of improvements there
on. The result Of this law Is that
the poor farmer who has small i'm
provements on his land must pay
relatively high taxes, while the rich
farmer who has large improvements
pays no more. The entire purpose
of this law is to gradually raise this
rate Of taxation on lands in such a
way as is taught us by Henry George
in his scheme of single taxation,
whereby it is proposed to tax the
land until the taxes are equal to the
rent thereon so that it shall be of
no value except to the tiller hereof.
This is not my fight for office, is
not the fight of any republican can
didate, it is the fight Of the honest,
! God fearing electorate of the state
of Minnesota to prevent the govern
ment and resources Of this state
from being exploited by professional
socialist agitators.
"You pay too much for your pottage
when you trade your birthright OF
private property, religious freedom
and sacred ties of home for the i'm
practicable visions of socialist ad-
ventures. Let us not despoil ourselves
of our heritage; let us cherish the
institutions of our fathers; let Us
preserve the republican form of gov
eminent Instituted by our forebears
and perfected by ourselves. Let us
still believe in God, still cherish our
love for mother and for wife, still be-
neve IN our American -lHSIltutlouS.
our families and our homes"

Jap Massacre Story

The cock and bull story of mas
sacrcs and other inhumanities on
which Japan justified her sending
of a naval force to operate off
Northern Siberia is completely ex-
ploded in a report yesterday from
U. S. Consul John X. Caldwell at
Eiadivostok.
The story was sent cut on the al
legged authority of an American citi-
zen, who was said to have arrived
at Vladivostok from Nikolaivesk,
the scene of the fictitious blood
shed.
Consul Caldwell states that lin
vestigation has failed to disclose the
arrival of any American at Vladi-
vostok from Nikolaivesk since the
alleged massacre and that there has
been no information of any kind on
the subject received at Vladivostok"
which was the origin of the propa-
