ALIENS MESSAGE

Gov. Allen has some mighty good
ideas in his message, especially sug.
gestions for combining some of the
departments. He should 70 farthe,
and combine the whole collection
and make real state government,
II does not require any constitution
al convention to DO that, The max.
Ing Of another utility board Is un.
necessary. The Industrial court has
had in a year only about 20 indus.
trial cases and several Of them took
but half an hour to settle. It will
have no labor troubles for a long
time-jobs are more numerous than
men and strikes are going to be
few. To have one court making
rules for wages and another court fix-
ing rates Ii poor economy-it should
all be under one head. Besides why
add to the number OF boards? The
farm tenantry plan to raise a million
dollars is probably too extravag CANT
Tor starter. A fourth Of that sum
would give the first planning a
chance. Let the legislature use sense
md caution and 1t will have the
'tate's approval.

SOUND STATE FINANCING

The closing Of Governor Lowden's
administration as executive of iii.
nois Is marked by a most remarkable
record Of accomplishment as shown
In his biennial address. He de.
scribes how the states Civil Admin
istrative Code abolished 1875 boards
and commissions. members of all of
which were drawing salaries and ex-
penses. and put the state under nine
departments, each with head d.
rectly under the governor. A budget
system was introduced and economy
End efficiency put into government.
AS result while in Kansas and
other states taxes were increasing
and expenses climbing, Illinois cut
its state expense 33 per cent, the
only state in the union to do So
and secured better results.
The state tax in Kansas, accord.
ing to the report Of the auditor lust
issued, shows an increase from So
SSO,O11 in 1917 to $e,O49,849 in
1920. In Illinois the tax rate which
was 30 cents on 500 in 1917 was
reduced to rs cents In 1918 and in
1919 and 1920 to go cents, a reduc-
ton Of one third.
Governor LOwden says: "Practi-
cal administration for four years
has strongly confirmed my views as
to the inutility Of boards and COM
missions. Where duties are purely
or largely ministerial, experience
has shown that 1t is a man, not a |
body of men, who gets results. There
are some who have assumed that
large responsibility could be more
safely vested In a body Of men than
IN an individual. Experience has
not justified this. Where the re-
'ponsibility is upon the individual, he
cannot shirk 1t. Where 1t is placed
n body Of men, the individual can
ind shelter behind that body when
allied to account for the manner in
which he has executed his power"
Kansas is board ridden. It's state
uditor calls attention to instances
where thousands of dollars are being
wasted, in one instance over $4,000
spent uselessly. And the chances
re that more boards will be added
t the current legislative session.
Kansas has talked for years about !
more efficient system Of govern
,ent-at least we did hear consid-
rable about It few years ago but
OF much Of late. 1t ought to send {
,r Governor Lowden and get some q
Ointers Of efficiency. In his address !

DICKINSON KNOWS

Dickinson county passed It's yer.
dict on the Nom Partisan League
last summer. It will be remember.
ed that through tha efforts Of a paid
organizer who worked here for a
year or more It tried to nominate
nve Democrats on the Republican
ticket and instructed its members TO
vote as Republicans at the primary
regardless Of their politics. Some
were challenged and refused to Der.
jure themselves but mostly they
voted a. told. The result was that
the picked candidates were over
whelmingly defeated. The Demo-
Gratis tried to round up the same vote
for part Of their ticket in Novem-
Der and the result speaks for itself.
Dickinson knows the N. p. L. already
and that is why 1t is hard work pick
ing mp those $1s checks for the easy
living crew Of paid organizers to

Many. Land Owners Wish to Cancel
Their Leases Now
Many Of the land owners In this
county who leased land to oil drill
ers now wish to cancel their leases
as the year Is up and there are no
indications of more rental money
being paid. On account Of the great
oil fields In Kansas the state legis-
lature a few years ago made special
laws that must be compiled with to
secure the canceling Of a lease and
this set Of laws must be followed IL
thte land owner wishes his leases
cancelled.
During the past few years many
Of the leases taken have been sold
to parties who are unknown to the
land owner and 1t is only through
the courts that the lease can be can
celed.
A notice Of publication must be
made, and the matter taken through
the courts, and 1t even takes some
time for the proceeding.

LET. EN- COME

SO, as far as The Times il con
cerned the Non Partisan League ca
home to Clay county any time |
wants to. OF course they woul,
bring a lot Of smooth organizers an,
many farmers would get talked on
Of the Joining fee, which we under
stand is $18.
There is still considerable none,
In Clay county. They would sta,
around for while, spread their pro
paganda, do no work but use theil
wits and talk large number Of
farmers into joining the League BY
telling them that the Non Partisan
League will solve all farming diff
culties. When they had talked all
they could into Joining the League
THEY would go to other counties.
They would leave some money here
some Of the follows who are suscept-
ible to that sort Of thing would join
up with them and travel around with
them as c0me-on men at 500 or $25
a day. or something like that. They
might do some advertising under the
guise Of pure reading. Possibly
there would be some new printing
equipment purchased in town. The
hotels and boarding houses would
have a little spell of prosperity.
Yes. they would do some good. And
hen the organizers would go on, TAX
ing lot more money with them than
they would leave.
Within little while many of the
farmers who Joined would begin to
ask themselves, what good is the
League doing me? What am getting
out Of It? What return is there for
my money!" All the answers to the
questions would be unsatisfactory
and those who Joined would begin to
1rOp out Of the League. Pretty soon
here would be but a handful of
left in the county and then
{ would be all over. The League
organizers and officers would have |
lutte a little more money and would |
AVE prolonged their easy life by
heir wits that much longer and the
)lay county farmers would be out
heir money. No good would have
'een accomplished except for the
Ulcers and organizers, and no great
arm done. It would pass away as
ust another little incident in life.
Before Joining, however, here are
few questions that every farmer
hOuld ask himself: Did any farmer,
nywhere-in North Dakota or any
there else-ever get any ultimate
God for his $18 joining fee? Does
farmers $18 joining fee buy him
nything? What is there in It by
lining? Does anybody make any
ling out of 1t except Mr.. Townley
nd his organizers? Why do the or
anizers come to you, total
ranger, and ask you to put up $1S?
or your or the. organizers pocket &
,ok? Ask yourself these questions, ,
zen If you wish to give some total '
ranger $18 for the privilege of be- i

on for few years, go ahead. But a

Vienna, Jan. 12.-In Vienna just
now there is as great a craze fol-
knitting as there was in England
during the war. This revival is due
to Major Bateman, the American
Red Cross commissioner, because it
was cheaper for America to furnish
wool than to furnish garments for
the people Of Austria. He organized
a band Of Volunteer Knitters"
whose number has now grown to
10000 women and 100000 children.
The yarn with which they work is
free and the finished gar
ments, most Of which are for the
