FROM THE OUTSIDE

The general disposition to regard
the business crisis in North Dakota
as result of wildcat financing by
leaders of the Nonpartisan League
is at least a little exaggerated. North
Dakota would be in bad way Just
now, no matter what party was in
power and even though the grain
buyers and bankers of Minneapolis
were free, as of old, to dictate rates
and prices to the wheat-growing
farmers. Probably the State would
not be so deeply shaken as at pres
ent with the old regime function
ing, but 1t remains true beyond
doubt that the basic reason for the
crisis which may close 200 banks
are the fall in the market price of
wheat. business depression through
out the country, and the natural
enmity of former controlling inter-
ests toward the Townley-Lemke
group.
Over large. areas of North Dako-
ia farms are being deserted, land
