MasurJ, "in going up a hill, particular
~ one paved with asphaltic concrete,
that the surface on the righ.hand side
Of the road is wavy and rough, while
that or the left-hand side is smooth?
well, the a is this: The ex-
ira traction required to climb the hill
wears and. tears the surface, while
there is little or no traction down hill.
Another thing, the right-hand track
Of the road in either direction is the
one which is worn most. This Is be-
cause Of the arched surface of the
road which throws the greater weight
and strain on the right-hand side of
the vehicle and consequently the right
hand side Of the roadway. Truck
builders and wagon makers have ever
adjusted their axles and springs so as
to withstand the greater strain on the
rfght-hand side of the vehicle.

The extent to which federal aid has

their federal appointments IN de-

the Eastern states. This is due to the
fact that the trails In the Eastern
states had already been improved to q

HOW LIARS FIGURE

1t is said that Figures never lie
but liars often figure" AS an illus
tration: VIM. B. Donahue Of Ransom
county who visited the Capitol recent
ly, tells the following humorous story
Of how the Iva press watered q loan
he was supposed to have secured from
the Bank Of North Dakota.
ssDue to the financial stringency
brought on by the initiated laws" said
Nj. Donahue, 1.-THE Bank could not
make the loan Iswanted, $4,000. How
ever, this did not phase the local Iva
press. They soon had it that / had
borrowed $4,000 from the Bank, and
by the time the story got to the Far

Hows that for high financing, farm
ers? Almost equals the rapid increase
in the price Of Bill Lemke's house in 9

One Of the great evils brot
on u state by the present adj
rninistration Isl the disposition to
measure the value Of every legis-
lative or administrative act. ev-
cry appointment and every ex-
penditure, by its political effect.
g Il that were true, which it
most certainly is not as the record Of
the League administration will prove,
Nestos is certainly in no position to
criticize.
For he is the nominee Of the gang
that openly and brazenly refused to
vote Attorney General Lemke the
funds, absolutely necessary for an
efficient prosecution Of the railroad
rate and grain grading suits, the po-
itical effects of which act they are
now trying desperately to get away
from.
Also he is the nominee of the same
gang that openly boasted that the
main purpose Of their recall election
was to sabotage and prevent the sale
Of the states bonds.
You are in no position to throw
stones, Mr.. Nestos.
As to your silly charge that Messrs.
Cahill, Totten, Townley, Lemke, Ha-
gan and Frazier have been 'profitting'
by the League, you remind us of the
young gosling lieutenant who chal-
lenged General Nathaniel Greene, the
great Revolutionary hero, to a duel,
which the General, of course, refused
to accept.
Thereupon, the young lieutenant
wrote General Greene that if he did
not accept he. would post him as a
p~oltroon and a coward"
Go ahead, replied the veteran,
"and when you do you will post your
self as a liar and a fool. for no man
will believe you."
IN the position of that young lieu
tenant, MI. Nestos, is exactly where
you place yourself when you falsify
about the League leaders as you do.
If the farmers, workers and liber-
al business men of this state ever
turn down a man like Frazier for a
lawyer like you. all we have to say is
that they will deserve all your. Wall
Street friends will do to them, and

Interests opposed to the North Da-
kota program have raised the alarm
that it is "socialistic."
"Why tamper with anything so
dangerous" it is asked. "when you
can get all you want through coopera-
ton anyhow
But the farmers who had tried to
establish cooperative marketing were
the first to demand state ownership of
marketing facilities. Why? Because,
with all terminals owned or controlled
by private corporations, co-operatives
could not i've. The farmers wanted
state owned marketing facilities and
the means of financing them, so as to
assure their cooperative enterprises
a square deal.
With state-owned marketing facil-
tiles, and fair laws giving coopera-
tive organizations equal protection
with private enterprises, the rights
of all will be amply secured. Market
ing facilities, equally with transporta-
ton facilities, are public \ utilities.
Public utilities should be controlled
and operated in such a way as to
serve all producers and all consumers
with absolute equity. Thereby, individ-
ual, corporate and cooperative enter
prises with all have a square deal
each will be able to prove it's worth,
and will find its proper place in the
industrial and economic system.
Instead of the North Dakota plan
of s~tate-owned marketing facilities
being "socialistic", it is the one thing
most necessary to save private enter
prise from destruction.
In it is to be found the reconcilia-
ton between the advocates of public
ownership and the advocates of coop
Grafton. All present indications point
to the conclusion that the final solu-
ton of marketing problem lies in
cooperative marketing through public
markets.

THE FARMERS KNOW BETTER

wen ana women VINO i've VA ~. ~
farms where a man has at least q
chance to do some natural thinking
now and then, should know exactly
what the Country Gentleman-Whlch
does all it's farming from a skyscraper
in Philadelphia, was driving at, divlde
and conquer-when n OF its editors
penned the following lines:
Not only have the farmers
been the chief victims Of high
rates financially but they have
been heavy loosers in good will,
for many thoughless consumers
blame farmers for high prices
when responsibility really rests
with the Increased railroad rate
and the high wages behind it.
To see the falsity Of these asser-
tions, all that is necessary is to re-
member that it was this very same
press that led the "thoughtless con-
sumers" into blaming the farmers for
high prices, which is now turning
round and seeking to lead the farmers
into believing that "high wages" are
behind high freight rates.
This is manifestly false for the rea-
son that freight rates advanced far
faster and in far greater ratio than
did railroad wages.
Further, these same wages, which
yer used by the railway managers
and financiers to scare the American
people into granting the present high
freight rates, are now being taken
away from the workers.
Not satisfied however, with the
gross distortion of truth uttered in the
above quotation, the Country Gentle
man goes on to support ~falsehood
with falsehood as witness this cheap
attempt to get the farmers and rail-
road workers to fighting each other.
Says the "Gentleman."
Herein lies the great injustice.
No class has worked longer hours
than have the farmers. They
have put into food 10, IL and IA
hours a day; and have added graf
is the labor of their families;
have not struck or soldiered on
p the job; have produced abundant
crops; and have seen their cheap
food reach consumer piled high
with transportation costs.
From all of which we get the I'M
comfortable feeling that the farmers
r being praised by the plutocrats
for just the same virtues as distin-
tinguished a "good niger" from a
bad niger in the eyes Of the old
slave-holding aristocracy. Especially
is this feeling born in on US when we
reach the "Gentleman's" attack on the
railroad workers, as follows:
Meanwhile railway workers
were shaping the farmers on the
other cheek by tying up freight
service, insisting on hours Of
work that would starve the world
if applied to farming, and hedp-
ing jack up freight rates.
z All three of which assertions r
utterly false.
It is false that the railway workers
were "tying up freight SERVICE" for
despite bitter provacation, they have
not yet struck the roads. It is false
that the hours of work demanded by
the rail workers "would starve the
world if applied to farming" and it is
brazenly false that the railway work.
ers were "helping to jack up freight
rates."
