OTHERS SHOULD DO LIKEWISE

THE National Biscuit Company has
l. recently made a cut of ten per
cent. in prices, making total cut OF
forty per cent. since last September.
There is nothing strange in this. 1t
is simply conforming its prices to the
times.
But what is strange is that other
manufacturers of food and other COM
modities do not dc likewise. Only re-
Gently it was announced that the-iron
trade was attempting to boost its
prices, and all men know that iron
commodities are out of reach, even
Though the war was ended in 1918.
The high price of iron products is al
most killing the building business
The profiteering in other lines is keep
ing business at standstill. And so II
goes. The greed Of men in position tt
control the market prices is paralyzine
the business of the country, and in the
long run they will suffer with the
others.

How Better Than Pills !?

The question has been asked. In
what way are Chamberlain's Tablets
snnerior to the ordinary cathartic and
liver pills +? Our answer is, they are
easier and more pleasant to take and
their effect is so gentle that one hardly
realizes that it, is produced by medi-
cine. Then, they not only move the
bowels but improve the appetite and

MAKING LEAGUERS

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I had
80 acres of flax, $1.50 per acre to cut
it, 20 cents per bushel to thresh it
and $1.25 per bushel when I sold it,
and the whole thing didn't pay for the
seed. Wheat cost $4.25 for seed and
when I went to sell my wheat it was
$1.30 per bushel, 3 cents dockage.
Saturday night before the. election
Mr.. Belden, from Lewistown, came to
Winifred and told the people in his
speech that if they voted the Nonpar-|
tisan league ticket they would be
closed out-the eastern capital would
not stand for anything like that, and
he simply scared the people, for it was
pretty skittish time.
told several of them to let them
close, as they had the money and the
power with it, and told them if we
could only get the power we would
soon fix things, but they were afraid
they were going to lose their ranches.
Mr.. Belden is president of one of the
big banks in Lewistown and also has
large holdings in Butte. .
Now they are striking oil here very
fast and three of my neighbors have

Mr.. Belden doesn't have any money

SAYS LANCER SPEECH
HELPED THE LEAGUE

So finally he began his windjam-
ming and mud singing, but it didn't
seem to make much impression on his
audience, for it was small compared
with all the publicity he was given by
the kept press and county papers. The
audience consisted of few bankers, a
few business men and the rest were
farmers and laborers. Of course it
didn't make much difference to them.
They have been humbugged so much
they don't pay any attention to such
windjamming. Ibelieve it was bene-
fit to the Nonpartisan league to have
Mr.. LANCER speak here. They all seem
to have one point in mind and that is,
"Why does Mr.. LANCER speak in Ne
braska, in Kansas and Oklahoma, and
who is paying his way?" Mr.. LANCER
didn't explain that part of it. Further
more, it doesn't take an intelligent
man to know who is paying his way.
That reminds me of story read
about a miller when was a little boy.

How They Introduced Mr.. LANCER
Oklahoma Farmers Give Proper Greeting to Traitor
Who Pays His Expenses

A little boy by the name of Johnny
came to the mill one day and the miller
said, "Johnny, they tell me you don't
know very much" "Well," said John
ny, "some things I know and some
things I don't know" "Well," said
the miller, "Johnny, what do you
know" Johnny replied, "I know
millers have fat hogs, but I don't
know whose corn they eat" And that
is the way with Mr.. LANCER. We are
not supposed to know who is paying
his way.

ing of square deal for everybody, I

important new issue arises. If the
government officials who advocate this
new issue are returned to Office they
have clear mandate from the people
to go ahead with their plans.
When Premier Theodore found,
therefore, that the Queensland gov
ernment loan was blocked in London,
he Immediately called a new election.
Going before the people and asking re-
election, he promised that if reelected
he would levy compulsory loan" in
Queensland.
Theodore and the other candidates
on the Labor ticket were reelected.
They are now putting their compul-
sorry loan into effect. All residents of
Queensland with more than $4,000 an
nual income are to take portion of
the loan. 1t is the same principle ap-
piled in this country in income taxes,
only instead Of taking the money as
taxes the government issues interest
bearing securities which go to the
capitalists who contribute. e

ed to speak in our beautiful city of
Enid, Okla AS you know, it is CUSTOM
ary for some prominent man to in
troduce the speaker. Of course that
left our side out, as usual, as you know
the farmers and laboring men have no
say in introducing the speaker to the
farmers and laborers. But I had 300
copies of your letter printed, of which
I am going to send you a copy. Just
before the meeting was called to order
we handed them out and in order to
slight none we handed them to every
body, business men, bankers, farmers
and laborers, and I don't know
whether it was by mistake or not but
one of the boys handed Mr.. LANCER

and the Labor party government. The
Queensland government needed to float
bonds to provide for additional public
enterprises. Mr.. Theodore went to
London to sell the bonds. Unfriendly

Proposals Still in Prelimi-

Counsel; Nothing Definite
Done So Far, He Asserts

REPORTS OF merger of leading inde-
pendent steel companies took more def.
mite form yesterday when it became
known that meetings were held this
week at which tentative terms of con-
solidation were discussed Thomas L..
Chadbourne, whose Arm, Chadbourne,
9abbitt & Wallace, acts as general
counsel for the Midvale Steel and Ord
nance Company, admitted that plans
were being considered for arriving at
q possible basis Of consolidation in the
formal statement: 4
I'm reply to inquiries and newspaper
comment, Mr.. Chadbourne stated that il
was true that several Of the indepent-
dent steel companies were considering q
plan for arriving at q possible basis FOR
consolidation; that he was working
with the companies upon such plan
but that Vhe matter was in a prelim-
mary stage and there was nothing def
mite to be said about it at this time"
Although no formal statement was
made regarding the personnel of the
companies involved in the present ne
gotiations, it was learned that they in
clude the Midvale Steel and Ordinance
Company, the Republic Iron and Steel
Company, the Lackawanna Steel Com
pany, Youngstown Sheet and Tube
Company, Brier Hill Steel Company,
Inland Steel Company and the Steel
and Tube Company Of America.
In the cyent that terms of the pro-
posed consolidation are agreed upon II
is understood that Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
will act rs the bankers In whatever
financing that may be undertaken.
Bankers said yesterday they under
stood that the if the different com
panies named go into the consolidation
it will be on the basis Of physical
valuation of their properties rather
than any market valuation of the Sc
curities. A valuation committee is
working on this phase of the work

tiations.
Talk Of merger Of independent
steel companies second only in size to
the United States Steel Corporation
has been heard in Wall Street since
1919, when for time it seemed GER
tain that all the details would be
agreed upon. At the last minute, how
ever, some Of the companies baked at
the valuations placed on their prop
critics and the consolidation was
abandoned.
Officials of independents admit the
advantages that would result from n
great combination that would be able
TO compete more advantageousIy with
the Steel Corporation than under OK
listing conditions. The seven companies
represented at the meetings in New
York this week have plants ut .Phila-
delphia, Coatesville, Buffalo, in the
Youngstown district and at Chicago
They also own great reserves Of iron
ore, coal and limestone.
The seven companies mentioned have
developed producing capacity OF
100000 tons of steel and an aggre-
gate present capitalization Of $467.-
100000. The total capitalization of
the Steel Corporation is approximately
one billion dollars, Of which $b08, ,3O2,-
500 is common stock.
