IT CAN BE MADE TO WIN

Hasty critics, eager to discredit and
to destroy; declare that the home
building law is a failure. They are
positive that it has been proven, un-
der test, to be unavoidable and they
demand its abandonment .
There is a little tincture of some
thing other than good citizenship in
this attitude. The evident hurry to
chase it off the scene has something
behind it. 1t leaves the thought that
the hurry to get the law discredited
and abandoned has behind it the fear
that, if it be tried under fairer con-
ditions, it may be more Of a success
than it's opponents would wish to see
it.
Private business is ever anxious to
discredit any law that may interfere
with private profits. If the home
Quilting law eve thretened the rev.
enues of any person or corporation
that would be signal enough for con-
demning it, even without trial and GER

gould be given it.

act is one of the most beneficient laws
enacted in this or any other state. We
insist that it insures the encourage
ment of saving habits. We insist that
it is the opposite of the Socialism that

STATE BAR BOARD OBJECTS
TO ROBINSON'S REMARKS

A communication has recently been
received by some of the leading dali
les of the state signed by a majority
of the State Board Of North Dakota,
stating that Judge Robinson's "Sat-
urday Evening Letter" of Dec.t Sd,
1921 state that: "To evade the Con-
stitution in 1919 laws we're passed
levying taxes on most everything
a state tax on poor lawyers of $500
to be squandered by an appointive bar
board". The protest signed, by a ma
jority of the State Bar Board, further
says that the article is false, scurril-
Gus and deflamatory and is malicious
ly designated and intended to expose
the members of said Board to public
hatred and to deprive them of public
confidence. The occasion for the pro-
test was the printing in the James
tomn Daily Alert, of Robinson's Sat-
urday Evening Letter of Dec. Sd. The
Alert FASTENED to excuse itself for any
responsibility for the Judges ramb-
lings. The protest was written by At
torney Ellsworth Of jamestown, a well
known attorney and member Of the
Board.

CAPITOL NOTES

Gov. Nestos appears to have ap-
pointed as his personal representative,
Mr.. Ed. Hughes, Public Utilities Mag
nate of Bismarck. Local papers recent
ly carried an announcement to the eff
feet that Mr.. Hughes was engaged in
entertaining the Governor. Shortly
after, Mr.. Cox, who is Public Utili-
ties lawyer for Mr.. Hughes, was ap-
pointed to succeed Mr.. N. A. Mason
as Secretary to the Governor. This is
the same Hughes who was defended so
ably on the floor of the house last
winter, by Twitchel who, when a bill
was presented enabling the people to
control Public Utilities, exclaimed,
"Where will we get money for the re-
call if this bill is passed." It was not
passed, and Mr.. Hughes continued to
function as North Dakota's greatest
Public Utility magnate. He is also
owner of the Beaulah Coal Mining
Company. The largest scab, or nom
union mine; in North Dakota, located
at Beaulah, N. D. This mine has been
threatened with condemnation several
times by the State Mine Inspection de-
partment and could not operate if
union conditions were demanded. It
will be remembered that Mr.. Nestos'
first official act was to hold a. con-
ference with the Fargo bankers, his
later acts have been such as to con-
firm him to be exactly what the Lea
que told the people he was-a servant
of Big Business and the Bankers.

Iva. PRESS SEEKS TO MISIN.
FORM PEOPLE REGARDING
FARM LOANS

l.. V. A. papers thruout the state
have carried or will carry articles to
the effect that the Manager Denault,
Iva. head of the Farm Loan Dept.
Of the Bank Of North Dakota, has dis
covered that outside borrowers were
given farm loans before farmer resi-
dents of this state could secure theirs.
This is the same sort Of lie that was
peddled about John Hagan. The fact
that certain individuals secured farm
loans of a lower number than their
application simply shows that they
secured the necessary abstracts, and
placed their holdings in position to
secure a loan before others did so.
Many farmers applied almost at once
for a farm loan but failed to fulfill
the necessary requirements, which
under the law must be fulfilled before
a loan a be made, for some time as
a result, loans were made ahead of
theirs. this is the fact. that the I. V.
A. press seek to capitalize and misin-
form the people upon.

It's administration so far has been a
series of blunders that left the home
seekers dissatisfied and the state a
loser.
We do not hold that the officials
were wholly to blame for the debacle.
The time when the law was tried out
was such as to make the chances ten
to n against it's success. When the
buildings were contracted for, mater
ial and labor at peak prices, a
condition that vas followed almost i'm
mediately by a fall in prices that
would have embarrassed the most ef-
ficient administration. Then there
were changes permitted in the plans
accepted which increased the cost of
the homes.
In other words we hold that the
law is good and the management both
unfortunate and inefficient. Yet, in
the same period, we have seer thous-
ands of private business failures un-
