n OUGHT TO ! BE CHEAP.

Cheap hail insurance" is the
claim on which Nonpartisan lea
que editor Of orator always falls
back, when he is cornered on every
other argument.
After every other plank in the
,so-called farmers platform" has
been debated, he always produces as
his trump card: "But look at the
cheap shail insurance we have given
the farmers" 5'.s.
Well it ought to be cheap.
In eight counties the 1919 losses
still are unpaid, and the state has
not yet begun to pay the 1920 losses.
Some warrants have been issued
for this years losses, but they will
not be paid until after the next tax
collection. More than $1,000, 900. in
unpaid losses for 1919 is still carried
on the books. That kind Of insur-
ance isn't worth much. Fargo

CASS COUNTY FARMERS
PROFIT BY KUBANkA,

Tower City.-Eleven Cass county
farmers made a profit of $4s,505.s2
by growing Kubanka Durum wheat
that they would not have made had
they planted hard red wheat on
their farms, according to E. A. Will
lard, the county agent.
The fourteen farmers secured a
total of $3.50 bushels of Kubanka
seed last spring, which was sown on
1908 acres >of land. Of these Ia
farmers, II kept records of their
operations on IA different fields.
The total gross return or value of
the Kubanka wheat above the value
of other wheat grown on similar
land and under similar .circumstan-
ces was 48,5O5.82.

THE LEGISLATURES

The North Dakota legislature
opened Tuesday with marked con-
trast of what it did two years ago.
That time the Townley political ma
chine was in. charge of both houses
with majorities sufficiently strong to
undue any Of the laws on the statute
books and to be able to amend the
constitution at will. It looked seri-
GUS to an outsider and it turned out
as serious as it looked.
What was done at that session is
a matter of record. The state was
plunged into an abyss of indebted
ness that will take years to settle.
But as we said at the time, we
had faith in the American people
and it would not be long before
there would be change. The
change came as soon as the people
were allowed to have say in the
matter. At the primaries last spring
the voters repudiated. every law that
was passed under direction of the
secret caucus that they had chance
to vote on. Then when the general
election came they placed the finish
ing touch on Townleyism. in this
state so effectively that Mr.. Townley
himself packed shis grip month
ago and said he was going else
where and he would leave the affairs
Of the state to others.
Mr.. Townley saw the handwriting
on theswall, and he did not want to
remain here to see the final windtp.
It was the act of a coward and not
"a statesman The captain Of the
ship is the last to desert the sinking
craft. But it was different with Mr..
Towhley. He preferred to be away
when the crash came.
This will be a stormy session with
out doubt. There will be little
doing on account Of the factions be-
ing evenly divided. But one thing
is certain and that is there will be
no legislation passed that will either
increase taxation or new offices
created to give pet politicians fat
Jobs, as there were two years ago.
Let us hope that the people we
elected will use good Judgment and
come together on issues that will
help us out Of the financial difficult
tiesswe have been plunged into.

SUSPENDED PUBLICATION

F The Grand Forks American and
the North Dakota Tidende, two Non
partisan newspapers, suspended pub
iication last Monday, thus, another
lot OF farmers" money that was
invested for the Nonpartisan cause
is probably a total loss. Two years
ago agents for Townleyism worked
this county very systematically and
a large number Of farmers took
shares ip the American, by giving
cash or their notes, or post-dated
checks. Big returns were promised
for it was about that time that the
leaders had in mind to pass the
famous Brinton newspaper bill that
was expected to place all these Nom
partisan newspapers on a paying
basis. Btt like number of the CO.
operative stores that people were
induced to invest their money in,
they proved ! loss to the investors.
A number Of these cooperative
stores are either closed or turned
over to somebody else and those
who invested in the venture lost
practically all they put in. In sew
eral instances people who bought
stock were assessed for more money
to meet the deficiency. How the
stock in the Grand Forks American
will pan out remains to be seen.
The Pioneer Express has repeat
|edly advised people to pass up all
these visionary schemes that you.
know nothing about; not because
they were promoted by Mr.. T6wnley
and his schemers, but because the
country is full Of promoters who.
are preyipg on the public with these
schemes. There is oil stock, mining
stock, Independent Harvester Com
pany stock, newspaper stock, Far
mers' Cooperative stock, Corpora
tion Security stock, and sundry
others that have been sold IN this
state, amounting to millions ot dol
lars the last few years that have
proved total loss to the investors.
Again we say, If You are farmer,
q merchant, q barber or a black
smith, do not yield to the smooth
talker who has something to sell
you, for he has no interest in you
but to get your money.

The Nonpartisan party have call
ed q convention to "reorganize" at
Bismarck on the 14th inst. The
county organizations will meet at the
county seats on the 11th inst. accor-
ding to the call, Among other things
y is stated that the party will be
made more democratic" than il
has been before. What is meant BY
being more democratic" is not
stated, but it is supposed to do
away with the welding Of the club
over the heads Of those who refused
to fall in line with their ideas. The
lesson taught at the recent election
was probably an effective one, hence
the change Of front.

Pembtna has come down to tri-
weekly freight service. The freight
arrives from the south Mondays,
Wednesdays and Saturdays, and re-
turns the following days. There is
considerable wheat coming across
the line at the present time but cat
tie shipments have stopped. From
Octobsr 1st TO Christmas there ware
fifteen hundred cars Of stock ship
peds through this port, with an aver
age Of thirty head to the car making
total Of four hundred and fifty
Thousand head. This is the heav-
lest shipment Of stock that has ever
passed through the port Of Pembina
in tho same length Of time. It is
expected that daily freight service
win Be restored IN short time. BIZ.

believes is headed for the rocks.
With the Bank Of North Dakota

Delleyesf 10 headed Tor the rocks.
With the Bank Of North Dakota
refusing to. honor checks upon it by
its depositors; with work suspended
on the state mill and elevator; with
work suspended by the homebuild-
iers' department; and with the hail
insurance ll department a year be-
hind in paying its claims, it would
seem that it might be necessary to
take the farmers program out Of
politics. or do something to it.
But before deciding just what
should be done with it, might it not
be well to; await the report of the
auditors now investigating the
books Of the bank, the state mill and
the homebuilders' department? OF
course, among theoretical Socialists,
whep practical difficulties are en-
countered, they revise their theories
or consult Karl Marx to see where
they have erred. But plain, every
day citizens, when they see they are
pouring good money into a rathole,
stop, take stock, and try to figure
just what the final outcome is to be.
That is what we must do here in
North Dakota with our 'sfarmers'
program" It is in a deplorable
mess at present nobody knows yet
just how had the mess is-and the
problem on which all good citizens
should concentrate their efforts is
to get the greatest possible amount
OF salvage out Of the .wreckage, and
pull the state out Of the hole with
the smallest possible loss.-Fargo

The Nonpartisans undoubtedly
knew what they were talking about
when they told US that the Bank of
North Dakota would be fine place
to keep all the public. funds. It
seems to be darned sight easier
to keep" them there than it is to
get them back.

The sundry civil appropriation
bill, the first Of the great supply
measures, is now before the house
for debate. Of particular interest
to the general public is the denial
by the Appropriations Committee
of $147,ooo,ooo to the shipping
board for the use Of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation.
Z In denouncing the business meth
ods employed by the shipping board,
Chairman Good Of the committee,
said: eve are not going to appro-
pirate, if I can prevent it, a single
penny for this board that does not
know it's business, that is wasting
the peoples money, and if it is go
ing to get any money it must get it
out Of the salvage of it's plant"
The sundry civil bill includes
large appropriations for the war
risk insurance bureau and for the
board for vocational training both
Of which are for the benefit Of the
disabled service men.
"Uncle Joe" Cannon, the famous
ex-speaker of the house, on Thurs
day broke all records for length Of
service in congress by passing the
record Of the late Senator Morrill, Of
Vermont, who served in the house
and the senate for period Of forty
three years, nine months, and twen-
ty-four days, and the house pa ,sed
in its work to felicitate the veteran
legislator upon his remarkable
achievement. Speeches were made
by Champ Clark, General Sherwood
of Ohio, and others, after which Mr..
Cannon took the floor in acknow-
ledgement Of the sentiments express
sed by his colleagues and stated
that it was his hope now to live
past the. century mark in order to
beat Gladstones' record Of fifty
three years in the British Parlia-
ment.
Representative Cannon will be 85
years old on May 7th, and was re-
Gently reelected to the house for his
twenty-third term. He was defeat
ed for congress- upon two occasions.

WILL SOUND DAVIS
AS TO NEW LEAGUE
HUGHES PLANS TO GET VIEWS
OF RETIRING AMBASSADOR
AT CONFERENCE.
ASSOCIATION IS PLANNED
Ambassador Davis Is Expected to De-
clare America Should Remain
With Allies in Execution
of Versailles Pact.

Misunderstanding Of State
Hughes soon will get the views OF
John w. Davis, retiring ambassador to
Great Britain, on the advisability of
attempting to create new association
OF nations, to replace the present
league of nations.
The explanation here was that Davis
will advise Hughes that this country
should cooperate with other nations
in adherence to the Versailles treaty,
even though in greatly modified form
Davis is known to be a strong league
of nations advocate.
The conference between Davis and
Hughes is expected this week, when
the retiring ambassador calls at the
State Department to resign formally.
Equally with the discussion of the
Versailles treaty, the league of nations
and new association, Davis coming
conference with Hughes is expected to
be important in dealing with direct
relations between the United States
and Great Britain. Davis is known to
have enjoyed the high regard of the
British government, and is prepared
to tell Hughes the British attitude on
pending questions, among which are:
One-Disarmament agreement be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, the leading sea powers of the
world, as bearing on the rapid strides
Of this country, which threatens Brit
aims traditional supremacy of the
seas.
Two-The final disposition OF the |
staggering war debt of $4,000, OOO, 900 |
'wed by the allies to the United |
States.
>Three-The issues between the
United States and Great Britain in
Tolving American rights in former
'nemy territories and resources sur
endered as the result of the war
which the Harding administration has
ct it be known will be vigorously up
eld.
The principal issue of this character
the fight to protect American rights
the oil resources of Mesopotamia,
mich is under British mandatory.
