VIEWS ON THE REPORT

plans for the investigation of the
state industries under the report OF
Bishop, Brissman and company, were
discussed at meeting of the COM
mittee of nine in the courthouse this
morning.
I'VE will begin the hearings as soon
as the attorneys have had an oppor'
tunity to study and thoroughly under
stand the voluminous report, sad
Chairman Grangaard. An accounting
report is not easily understandable by
a layman, and we have no disposition
to act hastily"
Peoples Industries.
In outlining the committe plan at
the conference today Mr.. Grangaard
in addressing the attorneys, said:
"You gentlemen were selected by
this committee because of the fact that
you had not been recommended to us
as being men of impartial minds and
unprejudiced. up to this time having
taken no active part in the factional
strife that has been SO prevalent in
North Dakota for the last few years.
The idea in the minds of all members
of this committee, realizing the I'm"
portance of the work before us-the
one and sole idea is that we are here
representing the house of representa-
tives of the state Of North Dakota, not
representing any one faction or set or
men, but representing all Of the people
The industries that have been examined
and the industries upon which this
audit report is based, which we are
called upon to decipher, are the In
dustries of the people Of North Da-
kota. We, as the members of the
committee to make this investigation
and report, realize and want you to
know that we are sitting here as an
unprejudiced, unbiased committee. We
have no desire to prosecute, no de-
sire to whitewash; we only desire to
get an unbiased and truthful report.
Our report will be exactly what the
audit shows.
Cautious Fairness.
"In conducting this examination,
gentlemen, we want you to bear IN
mind these facts as stated that there
y is no inclination on the part of any
member of the committee to have any
factiQnal feeling enter. This is not
a prosecuting committee. 1t is not
defense; You have been engaged for
the purpose of conducting the investi-~
cation. You have been engaged to
analyze the report Of the auditors, and
the committee is willing that you have
such support and held as will enable
you to do that work in fair, com"
plete and proper manner"

Legislature for Remedial

Topeka, Kan. Jan. 26.-Maurice Nc
Auliffe, president Of the Kansas Farm

Russian Minister Says Peasants
,Rebelled Against Lenine
Order =
MANY ARE NOW STARVING
Rev. Mr.. Frey Scores Present
Government of the
Country

Russia was >as nearly ideal as any
country could be, while it was un-
der control of the Kercnsky regime.
Before there was little freedom. Since
there has been none.
Thus did Rev. John Alexander Frey
of Riga, Latvia, Russia, minister, au-
thor and statesman, epitOmize the
the three regimes that have recently
had control of the European country.
Rev. Mr.. Frey said that he didn't
believe the czars will ever come back
but that under the Bolshevist control
the people were not working, property
was being confiscated and many were
starving. '"@s
Lenfne Enters.
He was in Petersburg when Lenine
first came to that city from Switzer-
land, where he had been studying the
communist ideas.
"Lenine never gives long speeches.
He said, I'll give you peace and I'll
give you bread &""
The people said this is Just what
we need and he is the man we want
for our leader
Didn't Get It.
Rev. Mr.. Frey said that Lenine has
not given them what they wanted and
that he could not @ ...
Meaning that all property had been
stolen Lenine told them to "stell
what is stole" and now everything is
being stolen, gold, silver, jewels and
everything that is not secreted.
People Starye.
He declares that the Communists
went out to the farmers and told them
that the farms and stock and every
thing belonged to the government and
that the government would take every
thing that was produced and give
them in return everything they need
cd. The peasants rebelled at this ani
would not work and therefore the peo-
ple in towns starved and times became
very hard
Lenine, he said, then tried to buy
grain and stock from the farmers with
paper money he had printed, but
the peasants refused to accept this
and about the only way which sup
plies can be obtained now is through
the exchange of jewels, clothing and
other articles.
Sent to Prison.
Rev. Mr.. Frey said he had been sent
to prison at Riga, because the powers
that be in Russia had no use for
preachers and charged that they were
making the people stupid by their ser
mons.
He will speak again Thursday night
at the German Baptist church.
