In other words, the Industrial Com

with Splitter, Rorick & Co., which
birds the state only and leaves all the
advantages to the brokerage firm.
When the Stutsman county tax
payers suit was brought before the
supreme court it was also discovered
that the state had sold bonds for only
100000 through it's own agents. in
stead Of the 100000 which were
announced by Mr.. Cathro in one of
the Bank bulletins lately. These sales
cost the state between twenty and
twenty-five per cent in salaries and
commissions to agents, not figuring
overhead charges.
This is just about the way in
which wildcate firms do business. Go

He Knows His FoIks.

Here are some random observations
OF man who has visited and studied
a good many small communities: II
you read your local paper you will
not miss much that is happening
around home. There Is no use saying
that you wish your town had paper
like one in the other town, for the
other fellow there is saying the same
thing. The man who reads his local
paper thoroughly is usually pretty
good citizen and has it all over the
fellow who does not. Local papers,
when all is said and done, do more to
uphold the institutions of this state
and country than any other known

A FINE OLD HOME PAPER

These magazines with gravures and
all these works OF art,
Are very well for city folks who live
by dint Of mart;
But give me first and foremost, hold
. it is the prime
That fine old home town paper-one
of the good old time.
The printin' isn't perfect. the inks
not uniform,
The type is set by hand perhaps,-
considerably overworn,
The dear old pre- 's-I know it we'll

But it prints that old home paper
one of the gold old time.
I look for 1t each week as regularly
it comes,
And when The postman brings it in, l
drop all other chums,
l drink it in, from start to fin, ridicu-
ous and sublime,
That fine old home town paper, one

the least detail by few selected
or self-appointed leaders. Whipptd
into line their followers are in
structed toobey orders even when
they know that by doing so they
court eventual wreck and ruin for
the institution they are supposed to
serve.
"Originally the league had adopt
ed plan and practical program in
line with principles advocater by
the Equity societies, the Equity Co.
operative Exchange and such farm
ers' organization. These vert prin-
ciples that We're practically agreed
on by most OF the people of the
state and they were weel under
stood. For this reason the farmers
joined the league, expecting grad
ual and progressive development.
CAS- we now know the record of
the league administration did not
come = up to these expectations
When the league leaders came into
powtr they Immediately set out to
rearTange the whole economic struc-
ture OF the state and in such radi-
cal and defiand manner that it of a.
necessity must result in bitter op-
position both within and outside the
state.
The gigantic and ambitious plan
of the league leaders made it nee
essary to get money much money
For this reason the Bank of North
Dakota and q number of smaller
league banks were organized. This
arrangement made other peoples
money easily available for the lead
.ers schemes.
1T was necessary to carry on an
intensive and expensive propaganda
to hold the voters in line, and the
result was !establisFig of farm
ers' papers in every county in the
state and big chief organs were
tramp editors were employed to do
the bidding of the bosses.
"ADd on top of all this there were
established a number of other en-
terprises like tht Cosumers stores,
the League Exchange and other cor
porations with interlocking director
ates for the purpose of moving the
farmers money into the league
leaders Golfers. Most Of these enter
prises have now failed and tht farm
ers are left to foot the bills.
But worst of ALL the original far
mers' program was forgotten; moth
ing was done for better marketing
conditions and the rural credit sys-
tenn through the Bank af North Da-
kota became farce. The league
leaders were too busy with thtir
personal get-rich-quick schemes to
worry much about the farmers in
terests.''
In conclusion the Fremtiden pre-
diets that the league administration
will suffer an ignoble defeat at the
hands OF the Independents on
october 2Sth, and it is deserved,

For Wounded Soldiers Home
Assemblyman Coon of Essex came
in for a knock when he opposed the
appropriation of $111,O00 for a home
for wounded soldiers at High Point,
Sussex county. He had objected on
the grounds that it was an unneces-
sary expense, as the government was
taking good care of wounded and
manned soldiers. Assemblyman COrie
of Atlantic in an attack on Mr.. Coon
said:
THE Essex assemblyman has been
most consistent in saving money for
the state and preaching economy. He
has voted down salary increasing bills
One moment, though, in voting for a
primary election that will cost the peo-
pie of Newark $4,000 this month";"
The bill passed easily, and after it
had half a dozen soldier members in
/ the house, who had opposed it at the
instance of the American Legion and
other organizations, changed their
votes to the affirmative.
Votes for Canal Inquiry
The Morris canal Investigation resO-
luton in the senate found Senator
Parry leading practically a lone fight
against its passage. He said all the
information sought by the resolution
could be obtained from a report of a
similar investigation committee pub
lished in 1912. Senator Simpson re-
minded the Essex senator that he CHR.
Parry had introduced bills earlier in
the session similar to the one under
discussion in the chamber and that he
hadn't been able to get them in posi-
ton for passage. The vote was IA
to 2.
Building Probe Approved
One of the measures which passed
the senate was house joint resolution
2, by Assemblyman Taylor of Essex,
with senate amendments, which pro-
vides for an investigation into the
prices of material and labor in the
j construction of buildings.

Majority Leader Rowland knew that
the senate would not pass an open
specifications bill even though the
house did, but he insisted that it was
a Republican party platform pledge
and that the house should e on rec
ord one way or the other. He blocked
all attempts to delay the bill and de-
manded that the members "unmask

he was talking word came that the
senate had defeated the Glover open
specifications bill and would not con-
slider any other legislation this year.

After considerable delay the house
finally got and voted f~av0rably upon

of Taxation the right to 60 into amy

The bill had beer held back i'll the
senate since early in the week. 1t

it die. This charge was strengthened
that at the request of manufacturers
he would hold Il hearing on the bill
before acting upon it.
The bill passed the upper branch of
the legislature March 30 and then dis
appeared until Friday afternoon,
when it was sen to the assembly.
Word then leaked out that the bill had
been held by Secretary William ii. AL
bright of the senate at the request of
Republican State Chairman Stokes.
An attempt to amend the measure III
the house failed. 1t passed in that
body by an Overwhelming vote. AS

senate Mr.. Albright Immediately sent
it to the governor for his cOnSidera-

bill, tried to nullify its intent, ASSEM-
blyman Pierson charged, by Offering
the amendment making it necessary
for the State Tax Board to notify i'll

municipality when the board intended

BRICK MANUFACTURE
IS AN ANCIENT TRADE

The Bible tells of the manufacture
and use of bricks. The most ancient
records contain references to this
building material. AZ early as the
year A. A. ID. the Romans used them
in England. The actual scientific and
mass production of bricks did not
begin until $50. when Alfred the
Great directed the bricks be manu-
factured under Government supervi-
sion. History does not tell OF another
ruler who became deeply Interested
in this industry until the reign OF
Charles T., who in 1925 thought "
necessary to regulate the size OF
bricks, so that transportation dim
