SENATOR LADD's WORK

A short time ago, Joseph Kitchen, l. v. A..
candidate for commissioner of agriculture and
labor gave an interview declaring that all the
work United States Senator E. F. Ladd. had
done for the state in the matter of grain grades
Investigations was "bunk."
Now comes the great state Of Minnesota and
duplicates the most important of Senator Ladd's
work in North Dakota. It has just been an
nounced by the agricultural department of
Minnesota that it's experimental flour mill at
the state university in Minneapolis has begun
operations. '-'. ~ -.,--.~
According to the announcement, this will
cost the state $4,000 to build and it will grind
flour which is to be sold at cost to all the state
institutions. However, this latter feature is
merely incidental, the chief purpose of the mill
being the carrying on of experiments into the
milling value of all kinds of wheat.

in southeastern Minnesota. Should Humboldt
farmers decide to start creamery there, it will

WHY THE BELLOWING?

Reactionary politicians have made the dis
covery that the interest is past due on some Of
the farm loans made by the state. Straight
away it is announced to the world that many of
these loans are in default and probably will not
be paid. While it is fact that the interest on
number of these loans are past due, this, un-
der the law does not make the borrower in de-
fault. The farm loan law provides that when
ever bad crop failure strikes the time may be
extended automatically. Why the believing
about unpaid interest - are there any banks
holding paper that won't be paid this fall in
addition to the Bank of North Dakota? S#
Farmers protesting high freight rates COM
plain bitterly that they are simply slaves for
the railroads There are number Of Senator'S
and Representatives who are in the same fix,

WHY NOT PROSECUTION? /?

If the recall is to be held merely to punish
law violators why not dispense with the courts
entirely in the punishment of crime perpetrat-
ed by public servants?
Is it necessary to embroil the state in recall
election to remove law violators?
The Joint Campaign committee in Fargo
bases it's action for recall upon law violations
Editorially in the Forum demand is made for
the arrest of the officers and directors of the
Bank of North Dakota at Bismarck, on the
criminal charge of receiving deposits in an in
solvent bank
= If the bank is inso1vent; if the officers and d.
rectors are criminals and if any state law, civil
or criminal has been broken, why does the
states attorney of Burleigh county ignore the
fact? What are the two district judges doing
in the presence of such fragrant crimes and high
misdemeanors? What are the citizens doing
that petitions have not been circulated for a
grand jury in Burleigh county to receive these
l. V. A. charges?
Action through some of these various arms
of the law would be less costly and more direct
than the questionable route of bitter recall
election. If the charges Of the l. V. A. have
not substance to pass muster in grand jury
room or before a jury of twelve men, can they
pass muster before the voters?
Why not recall the states attorney charged
with law enforcement if so much crime and so
many violations of the civil laws have been
committed that even the courts are powerless
and there must be direct appeal to the peo-
pie?
Why have no charges been filed with Bur.
leigh county peace officers?
}, Why has no grand jury been called to con.
slider the high crimes and misdemeanors?
Are recall elections to supplant the courts
and legal procedure where the acts Of public
officials are concerned bismarck Tribune
