into operation, which in the beginning
consisted of but FIVE laws, state own

dockage-all that went into the ele,
vator mans. pocket, and amounted an
nually to a'sum not to be sneezed al
by any means. That was the system
that caused so much friction and
which gave rise to the desire for d
state owned terminal elevator, be
cause it was thought in this way the
people would be able, to some extent
at least. to curtail the activities of
grain buyers, and the dishonest grad
ing at the local elevators, which had
for so many years enhanced the pro-
fits of the Minneapolis grain buyers.
The agitation for a state owned terml-
nal elevator began many years ago
and the people voted the proposition
by a large majority three different
times but for reasons unknown to my
self the desires of the people were
disregarded and nothing ever came
of it. The producers felt the milling
interests of the Twin Cities, Mime
apolis and St. Paul, were horn-SWOg-
Cling them on grades, and there Is no
doubt whatever but that they have
been the recipients of some very raw
deals in that regard. However, time
and space will not permit Of any
elaboration upon the feature of the
subject. 1t was also generally felt
that the markets were being manipu-
lated at the will and pleasure of the
So-called grain gamblers, the men
who are to the grain market what
the future men are, or used be, to
the cotton market, and regarding this
latter complaint l am free in saying
the producers had, and still have, an
enormous kick coming. Then there
was the complaint against the bank
ers-the bankers were charging ex-
cessive rates of interest because they
were dominated by the bankers of
the Twin Cities and had to dance to
the tune of big Biz. Those were
the chief complaints of the producers
and they we're loud and oft-repeated.
Then from out of the tumult and
brought about by these I'M
conditions, that had been
gradually gaining impetus for many
years, emerged the figures of the self
guardian angel and heroic
of the rights of the peepul,
A. C. Townley, defunct farmer and
of a score or more of shattered
dreams, who, perceiving the portent
in the heavens, set himself diligently
to the task of leading the sorely
and long oppressed masses out
of the bondage into which they had
been cast by the nefariouS machina-
of big Biz. He went the
and breadth of the state and,
using words for brushes, painted a
of a giant octopus. whose
head was Wall Street, body the Twin
City grain gamblers and talOns the
elevators, railroads and local bankers,

ar down into the quagmire Of abject
poverty, and proclaiming himself with

ton Of writing on the Nonpartisar
League for the reason that | do not
feel capable of doing the subject
justice-not that | feel my observa-

because of my inability to marshal

true picture Of all the many and con

inception and subsequent success
for a time. of one of the most amaz-
ing political satires ever saddled upon
the people of an American state.
However, since you made the request,
fully realizing my limitations. | shall
proceed to give you a somewhat alb
brevlated description of a movement
whose counterpart in Kansas some
years ago was described as "A relig-
ions revival, a crusade, a pentecOst of
politics in which a tongue of flame
sat upon every man"
The first manifestations of discon-
tent, which gave rise to the League,
became apparent away back in 1898,
so the books say, and by 1915 politi-
cal and marketing conditions, which
/ viii detail more fully later, over a
period of years had created in the
minds of the people, and rightfully
so, a spirit of unrest and disaffection
and a desire for a complete change

eaton along lines that would give the
people a greater and more direct
share in handling the affairs of state
and in marketing the products of the
soil, as well as rid the state of BOSS

actionaries", and bring about a state
sure every man the full rewards of
his toll and usher in an era of peace
and harmony, the chief strength and
support of all well regulated institu-
tons.
The marketing conditions were the
chief source of irritation. North
Dakota is strictly a grain state. just
as Mississippi is chiefly a cotton
state, and elevators and flour mills
are to US what the gins, oil mills and
congresses are to the people of Miss
iSsippi. When grain is threshed it is
hauled to the elevator where it is
graded according to variety, weight
and freedom from trash. foreign
kernels and the like. such as volun-
teer rye or oats in the wheat, r wheat
in the rye, and so on. 1t is then put
through a cleaning process which re-
the foreign kernels and trash,
called dockage, and the producer is
paid the market price for the real
thing, the dockage being retained
by the elevator and ground up and
solo for feed. Mind you the producer
gets no returns whatever from this

CONSTANCE B|NNEY
 1T COLUMBIA TODAY

From a tottering throne in a tiny European kingdom to the office of an American meat magnate was a queer Journey for Such a Little Queen" feature film play starring Constance Binney, which opens a two day stay at Mauk's Columbia theater today. Eddie Talbert, lyric tenor of Chicago, will appear in character songs as an added feature today and Wednesday.
 "Such Little Queen" is an adap-. tation of Charming Pol1ock's stage success which made" Elsie Fergu- son. The play deals with the for- tunes of the queen of a petty king dom somewhere in Europe who, when her throne totters, flees to America and after starving in royal dignity in a Harlem flat for a few months, goes to work heroically in a Wall street office, where she meets a man who is real prince and loves her. but does not quite succeed in banfshing from her thoughts the young king to whom she was betrothed just on the eve of the revolution.
 MT. Talbert has arranged a pro- gram of character song numbers that will give Columbia patrons an op- portunity to hear him in an entirely new role. This is his first appear ance in such a role in Phoensx.

 De Mile, accustomed though the picture world had become to his won- derful pictures, unloosed a thunder bolt when he announced his plans for .sThe Affairs of Anatol." He stated he would produce a picture more elaborate. more massively beautiful more elegantly costumed and more spectacular in the display of finery and settings than anything the world had ever seen. He likewise announced his cast would surpass not only in sheer talent, but in reputation, any assemblage of players ever collected for a motion picture.
 Then he went to work on "The Affairs of Anatol," and the public waited. When the personnel of the cast was announced. it was conceded everywhere that the forthcoming pro-

 Tears and laughter fight for mas tery in Turn to the Right" the com edy presented by the Bainbridge- Karns stock company this week at the Elks theater, but there is one big moment in the play when the two give way to hushed silence. Tears flow when the silence is broken. but for the moment the audience is held dry eyed and rigid.
 This is the scene wherein Joe Bas- com suddenly reappears in the home that he left as a young boy seven years before. So far as the manu- script is concerned there is no scene at all, for not a word is spoken, and yet it is the one incident of the play that fingers longest in the minds of the audience.
 The scene is laid in the kitchen of Mrs. Bascnm's little farm house and Mrs. Bascom is reading her Bible. seeking to prove to herself that her boy must return in answer to her prayers. Betty. the daughter, has placed in the window the lamp that for seven years has shown nightly. He stands gazing at the little moth 1 CT bent over her Bible, while Betty. who does not recognize the intruder, stares at him.
 Suddenly old Mrs. Bascom's face 1 is raised as if in response to some 1 whispered call and her tired old eyes gaze into those of her son whose re- turn she has just been praying. For a moment neither stirs. Then the old lady glides forward and takes the boy in her arms. For what seems minutes because of the tenseness of | the situation, the two stand in each others embrace while Betty looks on in amazement.
