Financiers DO
Make Mistakes
HyORTH DAKOTA had the au-
dacity to organize a Non
~ Partisan I aa oua tho idaa heinp

W manage the oIdJe ana ltS re-
sources for the benefit of farmers
and other producers, instead of al
lowing the State to be exploited en-
tirely on private ownership basis.
The State determined to own its
banks, grain elevators, railroads;
BUT-such things require money.
Money is borrowed from banks,
banks are owned and ruled by great
financiers. Great fnanciers don t
LIKE presumptuous States to man
age and own their resources. That
"checks opportunity"
North Dakota needs six million
dollars, offers to sell State bonds,
perfectly good, and is willing to pay
per cent interest, if she must. 1t
is great temptation, for buyers of
the bonds would get their 9 per cent
and not pay a penny income tax to
the Government, State bonds being
free of tax. South Dakota can sell
her 6 per cent bonds above par to
the prosperous tax dodgers. North
Dakota can't borrow a dollar.
South Dakota is dreaming no pub
lie ownership dreams; therefore,
plenty of money to lend her.
Boycotted financially, North Da-
kota tries to borrow six million from
the American Federation of Labor.
Four million Union men could easily
lend the money-it would be only
dollar and half each. But things
are not done in that way. For six
million, you must go to banks.
The result will show whether
North Dakota really means self
government or is yet too backward
and needs to be ruled by it's betters,
like the other States.
If some new plague began eating
the North Dakota crops, if wild In
dians rose from their graves and
went marauding, and if six millions
would save the crops or kill the In
dians, the six millions would be
found quickly enough. Human
beings get about as good a govern
ment as they deserve, and get only
that for which they are willing to
PAY, in money or blood or both.
Doesn't it impress the average
reader as interesting that the gov
ernment of a sovereign State is con-
sidered presumptuous when it pre-
tends to do for itself and for the
profit of every citizen what private
individuals do for themselves and
for their profit.
Private INDIVIDUALS own
grain elevators, banks and railroads.
But the people of State must not
combine to do the same things, for
that, dearly beloved, is combina-
ton of Bolshevism, Socialism and
Anarchy, with perhaps a dash of
"free love" and atheism thrown in.
Sixty years ago, it was a crime
for slave owner to teach his slave
how to read and write. That is
ended now, the slave owners lost
their grip.
Today, it is a financial crime for
the people of State to try to learn
how to govern themselves and con-
troll their own resources. But that
also will end. The private owners
of public monopoly and public prop
erty will lose their grip just as
the slave owners did. 1t is to be
hoped that the operation of letting
go will be less painful and less
expensive than the experience of
1865.

on charge OF housebreaking, Is
another of the alleged conspirators
to escape. Clancy is one of the six
men, who three years ago, escaped
from a Jail van while being brought
from Police Court to the Jail. lie was
later captured.
Captain Peake is making an inves-
tigation to ascertain how the saws
were brought into the Jail. Several OF
the men implicated in the plot were In
court last week, and 1t is believed that
one of them was suppertiously handed
the package of saws and hid them in
his pockets until reaching the Jail.
When the prisoners reached the jail
from court they were thoroughly
searched, being forced to take off their
shoes. neckties and collars. Then their
clothing also was thoroughly search
ed. 1t is Captain Peake's opinion that
the prisoned who brought the package
of saws, threw 1t to a point OF vantage
before he was searched and later when
being taken to cell picked 1t up.
The trusty who informed Captain
Peake of the planned jail delivery de-
clared that the prisoners believed the
guards would not shoot to kill and
that II would be easy for them TO make
a getaway.
That's where they were wrong"
said Captain Peake. Orders have
heen given to guards to shoot to kill
any prisoners caught trying to make
a getaway"

THREE SHOT DOWN WHEN
YECCS TRY SAFE ROBBERY

JAMESTOWN, n. Y. Nov. A.
Three men were in the general hos
pital here today as a result of a re-
volver battle between police and al
legged burglars, who attempted to rob
the safe in the Winter Garden
Theater here.
Police Sergeant Albert Harrison
was In a serious condition with a
bullet near his heart. Chester Chase
and John Nowak. OF Detroit, accused
of the attempted robbery, each were
suffering from several bullet wounds.
Nowak was expected to recover but
physicians said Chase would not live.

will not be submitted, since the Ameri
cans have stepped in and put then
proposal publicly before the whole
world.
May Ask Notifications.
That certain conditions and reser
vations will be made is not unlikely
That is the point being most busily
debated in tho British and japanese
quarters today, not only among tho
naval advisers, but among the boss
statesmen themselves.
They are trying to do two things
not easy to work out together. One
il to modify certain details of the
Hughes proposal. The other is 70
avoid giving the public the idea they
are stalling.
Mr.. Hughes announced with some
vigor Saturday that our Government
would not stand for plausible pretexts
or delay.
The modification that seems most
to the front is expressed I'm comment
on the clause that lit be agreed that
the first replacement tonnage shall
not be laid down until ten years from
the date OF agreement"
Amendment Considered.
The argument Is that in this decade
all naval construction plans would fall
into disuse and the highly skilled arsi
sans would become absorbed In other
industries. The amendment being con
sidered is that, while the scale laid
down by us is accepted. the replace,
ment might be extended over ten
years sufficiently TO keep some plants
In operation.
There are those in British circles
who wish the prime minister was
here. They feel that he, the most
agile of politicians, would not remain
on the defensive, or run any risk OF
seeming lukewarm. but would find
a way of seeming to go even further
than the Americans.
Nobody, these Englishmen say, is
so quick as Lloyd George at chang
ing an embarrassment into an OPP
portunity. Nobody Is so prompt al
recognizing the inevitable, which the
American Government. in this case
has written in large letters on the
wall.
Japanese Are Prepared.
The Japanese. TO tell the simple
underlying truth, are not worrying
at all about the Hughes program
They smelt something of the sort
tOIiiiiS anu p'edu W pfepdte tntii
people for it weeks ago. They will
decker a little, perhaps. but they will
give the impression Of generous ac'
ceptance.
What they are putting their real
work on is the other half of the
agenda of this meeting. They are
wondering what the American Gov
eminent has in it's hip pocket about
China and the Far East.
If the Japanese can prevent an
agreement between the United States
and Great Britain that will end or
strictly limit special privileges in
China they will have won what they
came over here for.
They care less about armament. be
cause they know that 1t is extremely
unlikely that either Japan or the
United States can successfully attack
the other across the Pacific ocean. L.
war should came II would in any case
be struggle of diplomacy for one
or the other belligerent to attach to
its side the remaining of the three
naval powers.
That brings them always right up

United States is not In a strong po-
sition as regards Pacific bases.
The bases at Pearl Harbor, and in
the Philippines are still undeveloped
for war purposes on a large scale
and would not be sufficient to care
for a battle fleet in operation.
The general board of the navy has
complete plans for the development
of land bases in the Pacific, which
call for extensive operations in the
Philippines. Guam, and Hawaii.
Whether these plans are ever carried
out probably rests with the interna-
tional parley now In session here.
Prepared for Contest.
Japan has kept her eye upon the
developments made by the United
States in the Pacific and her delega.
ton came to the armament confer
ence with frank admittance that they
expected the matter of land bases i'm
the Pacific to be discussed. 1t has
been plainly indicated in high Jap
anese circles that the Nipponese
delegates will be unable to finally
accept any proposals for naval dis
armament which do not include I'M
derstandin8s relative 10 ueVeiopHnehl
of land bases.
American naval experts have esti-
mated that under present conditions
1t would take the United States three
WARS to prepare sufficient base facili-
ties to wage a successful naval war
fare against any Far Eastern power.
Japan's naval experts are cognizant
of this situation. and they do not pro-
pose to scrap their ships unless the
United States agrees to abandon any
plans it may have for building dry
docks, coal stations, and submarine
and aerial bases in the Pacific.
