TAKE YOUR SEAT"

"'We have been told by the speaker
and others that this auditing company
had to have it's money at the end Of
each week. I presume since we have
the report that it has been paid for"
"Who paid for it," barked out
Twitchell after he had interrupted
Maddox. "That's what I have been
trying to find out" came back Mad
dock.
Twitchell's plight became the OBJ
ject of the houses merriment. Repre-
sentative Patterson was three times
raped out of order by the angered
boss Of the majority, but before he
took his chair he put Twichell thru
the drill of again reciting his actions
in connection with the audit report.
"The house very conveniently took
a recess to permit it's speaker to go
down to Fargo and collect some money
and then take it down to st. Paul
to pay the Bishop, Brissman Com
pany," began Mr.. Patterson.
That's not so, and you know it,"
yelled Twichell.
"We had.a recess, didn't we ?" asked
Patterson. ~.
"Yes", was the surly answer.
"You went to st. Paul to get the re-
port, didn't you?" -s'4
~ did," '
"You collected the money to pay for
It didn't you?"
: 1T collected $2,700."
~ When Patterson again attempted to
continue his explanation, Twichell lost
his self-control completely and
screamed:
81 won't tolerate any such explana-
tions. You're out Of order. Take your
seat"
And there you have as clear an IL
l%ustration as could possibly be given
of Cass county democracy. Watching
Twichell's antics, these lines of a west
ern poet a thru our brain: .
"Take down your sign!"it should no
longer hang,
You locoed leader of a locoed
gang"

LEMKE PLACES RESPONSIBILITY

The beginning of the end of the
iron heel of would-be-boss Twichell
and the Cass county caucus was fore
casted in the house on the 26, when
more than a dozen Independents bolt
ed the Boss and the house, by a large
majority voted in favor Of printing
Attorney General Lemke's reprimand
of the l. V. A. bosses for refusing to
appropriate money to permit adequate
defense of the state in the railroad
tax case, the grain grading case and
other important litigation,
Bosses on Record
The Attorney General, declaring
that "every member of your house as
we'll as myself, took an oath to sup
port the constitution of the United
States and the constitution of North
Dakota and to faithfully discharge the
duties of our respective offices, &C
cording to the best Of our ability"
ends his communication to the house
with the following clearcut sentences:
Millions Endangered
you, charged with the duty of pro-
tecting the best interests of the state
Of North Dakota are refusing to ap-
propriate funds with which to defend
the state, tho you must know such &C
ton on your part may result in a loss
to the state of millions of dollars an
nually.
81 am merely addressing this COM
municatiOn to YOU in ordersthat a rec
ord may be made in such form that
you cannot in the future, if you persist
in your inaction, deny that you know
ingly and deliberately served the
causes Of the great railroad interests
and of those who would practice un-
fair methods in grain handling and Of
the financial enemies of your state by
hobbing and hampering the office of
your attorney general by denying to
him a dollar with which to travel to
appear in defense of your state; by
denying to him a single dollar with
which to print briefs and transcripts
in the cases pending against your
state.
"Take what action you will, I have
done my part. I have made clear to
you the facts, as they stand, and the
effects which result from your mac
ton and failure to live up to the real
meaning of your oath of office"
Jumbo Twichell fought madly to
keep this scathing truth out of the
record but in vain.

THE PRICE IN EUROPE

II the American farmer hoped to
find even the small consolation in
his heavy loss, that the hungry PEG.
pie of Europe would be able to buy
bread cheaper this winter-he is to be
denied even that.
There would have been some COM
fort in the thought that the world was
sharing it's burdens, that If we lost a
dollar a bushel on our wheat, sorely-
pressed Europe was the gamer.
But it was not to be.
The only middlemen in the world
are not to be found only between
North Dakota and Minneapolis. The
grain gamblers Of our acquaintance
are not the only grain gamblers.
Wherever it is profitable to twist
profits out of hungry and naked folk;
wherever there is a chance to coin
gold from the suffering of humanity
there you will find the grain gamb-
Ter and the milldleman.
Stagnant pools, decayed vegetation
and noisesome slime are the accepted
breeding grounds for Shiny wriggling
reptiles. Filth breeds it's own sort.
So from the stagnant nastiness of
greed, of avarice, of money-madness,
we grow everywhere over the world
those kind of creatures who profit
and live upon the needs and sufferings
of others.
We must not be surprised therefore
to learn that this year Europe paid
MORE for it's wheat than it did last
year, although the American farmer
got S1.OO less a bushel.
The Grain gambler between here
and Chicago took that dollar from the
price of your bushel, just as surely as
though he had met you and taken the
dollar from your pocket at the point
of a gun.
The grain gambler between Chicago
and Liverpool took almost another
dollar from the consumer in Europe
by hosting the price per bushel, this
year, about 60 cents over that of last
year.
It is a strange fact, which few have
SOIIAlIlCAltCu uPOIl, 'L4ldC tIC AlVCAPOOAs
price of wheat, nee regularly pub
lished in all our market pages, has
disappeared. We never see it, now.
Perhaps it is suppressed because,
did the American farmer see what the
folk in Europe rel paying for the
grain he got slips a bushel for, he
might go mad or die Of apoplexy.
Yet-not so many years ago we
were trained to believe that the Liver
pool price fixed. the price the Ameri-
ian farmer received. So quick do the
old gods fall, so soon do the old myths
die.
But the Liverpool price is still paid
and record of it's amount, while not
blazoned in the newspapers, may still
be dug out Of musty U. S. deports. It

WHY RAILROADS SEEK RECALL

The amount Of taxes paid by the
railroads in North Dakota for the
five year period 1915-1919 will give
some idea Of why their inside men
are working so hard to engineer a re-
call of the League administration and
three of the supreme court judges. The
figures speak for themselves.

In addition the League administra-
ton has just compelled the railroads
to pay $1,233,SSO in taxes for 1917
and 1918 which. the roads had dis
puted.
This compelling the corporations to
bear their fair share of the tax bur-
den, together with the fact that At
torney General Lemke is bringing the
railroads to taw on their unjust dis
elimination against North Dakota
shippers in the matter Of freight rates
is what is hurting the Cass county
crowd SO badly and driving them to
pull off stunts in the House that would
make the Prussian Kaiser in his palm
lest days turn green with envy.

B. B. co. BLAME THE
INITIATED LAWS

Bishop, Brissman & Co. in their re-
port on the Bank of North Dakota go
out Of their way to give the state some
free advice of the theory Of banking.
This advice while unexpected, as Bish-
op Brissman have not heretofore been
known az banking experts, contains a
surprise for the Cass county caucus
as it proves the contention Of the Lea
que that the initiated laws were great
~ responsible for the credit blockade
in North Dakota.
After remarking on the "liquidity of
assets" etc. ETC., Bishop Brissman say:
ut is therefore significant, as ap-
pears herein, on November 81, 1920,
the Bank apparently found it neces-
sary or advisable to draw upon its
redeposits of public funds in local
banks to the amount of $1,390,000. It
is apparent that this could only ef-
feet an increased stringency, and de-
crease the ability of the local banks
to assist the local merchant and farm
er at the tipe of their greatest need"
In plain language the experts Of
the I. v. A.. bosses admit and prove
just what the League press. said all
along about the evil effect of the in
itiated laws on the credit situation.
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1921-02-10
ROTTEN RULES

That the I. V. A. bosses have no in
tention of being "fair" to the people
or anybody else is borne witness to
by the secret caucus rules they have
adopted for the committee that is Gin
vestigating" the Bishop, Brissman re-
port. That rottener rules were seldom
ever adopted is shown by the follow
ing three beauties:
~ No attorneys may appear to
represent witnesses or minority mem
bers of the committee.
(2) No member of the committee
may ask a witness any question unless
the chairman first decides it is peril
nent. The Chairman is Twichell's man,
and the committee has six I. v. AS
to three Leaguers.
81 The committee may go into Sc
cret session at any time.
Such rules place. the whole conduct
Of the inquiry absolutely in the hands
of two bitterly partisan / v. A. at
torneys, Francis Murphy Of Minot
and John Sullivan Of Mandan.
All the indications are that the, re-
port will be reported on for the sole
purpose of manufacturing Big Biz
propaganda at the expense of the tax
payers Of North Dakota, first, and,
second, for the purpose Of discrediting
the great Bank of North Dakota and
the state industries, with a desperate
effort to stop work on the splendid
mill and elevator at Grand Forks, as
Big Biz fears the effect Of the com
pletion and operation of this mighty
mill on it's ill-gotten gains. Let the
people think.
Senator W. J. Church, Lacquer, in
troduced a bill to establish a state
owned coal mine to supply the state
industries and institutions with fuel
It is proposed to appropriate 100000
for this purpose. Senator Church
showed that such a mine would save
the state large sums Of money, which
will, however, very probably be thu
very reason why the Cass county eau
Gus will fight the Church bill.
