ton Is Expected to Aid

The Committee on Federal Coop
Grafton of the National Association

committee is covered by a question
naire which Secretary Hoover has
prepared ard which President Hiett
has sent to every real estate board
ton. The -questionnaire covers
many. phases of the housing situa-
ton. 1t is from the answers to the
QUESTIONABLE that Secretary Hoover
cXnects to obtain information which
will assist him setting in motion
the machinery. to alleviate Ncondi-
tiOns which are at present militat-
ing against any solution of the
housing problem.
The QUESTIONABLE represents the
first request for definite service
from the National Association made
by this government department. 1t
is regarded as OF the utmost impOr-
lance that those who have been
designated to collect the informa-
ton in their respective communities
fill out the questIonnabre at the
earliest possible moment. All in
formation is to Be sent direct 10
Secretary Tom Ingersoll, 1890 Con-
suners Building, Chicago. and not

dent Hiett has sent a letter urging
the necessity for promptly return
ing the Information and outlining
the plan of organization which he
has worked outg
Each board has been inStructed to
appoint committee of three real
tors. which will be known as a
Committee on Federal Cooperation.
All these local committees, welded
together. become the National Com
mittee on Federal Cooperation and
1t Is this body which Is. expected to
be of such important service to Sec
rotary of Commerce Hoover.
The sending out of the question:
naire, is the first step which Secre-
tary Hoover has taken under the
program he outlined at the Chicago
convention when he stated that he

TAXPAYERS HAVE
SOME RIGHTS

For the past two or three days the
district court has been trying what
we might term the famous H'park"
case.p This is the case wherein the
park board some months ago was de-
termined to buy an extra park for the
city at cost of approximately eight
thousand dollars or something over
$500 per acre, the ground belonging to
the Northwest Nursery Company. A
number Of tax payers objected to the
purchase on the ground that we did
not need any additional parks at this
time and in order to prevent the sale
an injunction was secured from Judge
NJ, j. Englert restraining the board
from buying the park until the court
had heard and decided the question
After a trial in the court chambers
in which the case was threshed out
with Mayor Bonhus as the leading wit
ness in the case, assisted by many
others interested in the matter, the
court rendered his decision last night
making the temporary injunction per-
2manent. This settled the matter 50
far as buying this piece of property
in controversy is concerned or any
other property without putting 1t to
vote of the people. This issuing Of
thousands Of dollars worth, of bonds
without submitting it to the tax pay
ers is all wrong and the new law cor
reefs that evil. g&sf:GE2 ~

TRACTOR SHOW
CLOSES TODAY

The national tractor demonstration
at Fargo is coming to close today.
The demonstration was no doubt the
largest Of its kind ever held in the
northwest, the weather conditions
were good and hundreds of farmers
from all over the adjoining states
availed themselves Of the opportunity
to see this show. III g.
The show was not as elaborate as a
national show usually is the reason
for this was the absence Of the differ
Tent makes of tractors manufactures.
Reasons for this we presume is the
strenuous time that so many tractor
manufacturers have met with this last
year. Whereas there used to be some
hundred or more makes of tractors
manufactured there were about rs per
cent represented at this show.
h The show was somewhat of dis
appointment to the late visitors as the
field work was practically finished the
early part Of the second day. Each
tractor plowed, disced, packed and
seeded ten acres, close check was
kept of every tractor as to its time
and cost of operation. These reports
will be valuable information for every
farmer who is interested in tractor
farming. The tractor as whole were
all awarded for their efficiency in do
ing a complete job Of power farming.
There were ten six horse teams in
the blowing contests, owing to the
heavy gumbo soil and the hot weather
there were only three horse teams in
the contest at the end of the first day,
It is question if these teams will be
able to finish their ten acres work
before the close of the show. It is re-
ported that three of the teamsters had
the misfortune of losing horses that
succumbed under the extreme heavy
work and heat.
It is the. evidence from this show
that tractor farming is, here to stay
and that it is only a matter Of adj
justments in general conditions until
every farmer will have tractor Of
some kind in connection with his farm
equipment.

y condemnation, taxation otherwise
such land to. be organized as rapidly
as practically into socialism operated
farms. The governor also read from
the communist manifesto and from
statements of socialist leaders to
show that the aim Of Socialism is to
destroy both family relations and re-
ligious beliefs. He showed how this
socialistic program is being. put into
effect in Russia, how the right to pri-
vatess property is being abolished
there, how the family relations are
menaced and how the religious> beliefs
Of the people are being undermined
The socialist party and other socialis-
tic organizations in this country are
working to accomplish the same things
here. They are not, always advocat-
ing all these things openly or expect
ing to make the change all at once, but
! they are hoping by their insidious pro-
paganda to bring this country into q
state similar to that of Russia. You
pay too much for your pottage when
YOU trade your birthright Of private
property, religious freedom and sac
red ties of home for the impractic-
able visions of socialistic adventures.
Let us not despoil ourselves of our
heritage but let us cherish the insti-
buttons of our fathers. let US preserve
the republican form Of government in
stitured by our forefathers and per-
fected by ourselves. The commun-
lists manifesto issued by Carl Marx
and Friedrich Engels is the expression
of the doctrines of socialism jus: as
the Bible is the doctrine of christian
ity. Socialism is socialism whether you
find it in Russia, Minnesota or North
Dakota, as christianity is christianity list al1,y
have nothing in common. Let us stand
by the principles of christianity upon
which this nation is built and which
has brought more happiness to a
greater number Of peoples, than any
government experiment that has ever
been tried. l' ' "'.'a ''#<ty
