League is seeking to make personali-

ton. The issue is too great and too
clean cut to consist of such a thing
as personalities. Despite the talk of
the opposition, despite the chatter of
the opposition press the issue is one
that every farmer and every business
man. whose prosperity depends upon
the farmers should study thoroughly.
During the period between Septem-

sue of the coming election is: Shall
the old system by which the farmer
in particular and the public in gene
raj is sandbagged, as shown by the
above figures, be allowed to continue
or shall it not. The farmers of the
Non-Partisan League say that the
old system shall be abolished and {
new and fairer system be established

PRINTING LAW is UPHELD

The state printing commission law
which provides for the designation
of one official paper in each county
instead of three was declared con-
stitutional by the state supreme
court. The decision was a reversal of
the one rendered by Judge Crawford
several months ago.. In the decision
of the caes the amendment added
to the constitution at the 1918 gene.
raj election, providing that no law
shall be declared unconstitutional ex-
cept by a vote of four of the five su-
preme court judges came into action
for the first time since its enactment.
Justices Birdsell and Christensen,
who did not agree as to the validity
Of the law, voted for the reversal
of the Crawford decision in the lower
court since Justices Grace and Robin
son had held the law to be unconsti-
tutional. All four judges c%oncurred
in the opinion that the law does not
violate the fourteenth amendment tc
the federal constitution, prohibiting
the taking of public property with.
out due process of law. The question
of the constitutionality of the mea'
ure then rested on alleged techni-
calities, declared to have crept in dur
ing the process of enacting the mea
sure as a law. The opinions of JUS
tice Robinson and Justice Grace that
the measure was valid prevailed

 Tt is in the orderly processes of constitutional government, that is, a government of iaw---with power so adjusted as to secure protection from capr1cious and arbitrary action---in the putting of principles and rules sanctioned by the people in the place of tyranny, that we find the security Of liberty.
