way Commission, that the Highway
Commission would take over and COM
plete the Newport-Corvallis highway

The troubles of North Dakota as n
result Of Non-Partisan league rule and
its scheme Of socializing industry, are
being well aired before the public.
Every public Official in that state Is
trying to lay the blame onto his neigh
bor hut that doesn't remedy matters.
The cold facts are that radical poll
teal leaders have made failure OF
state management In North Dakota
just as they previously did i'm the man
agement of their own private business.
The Non-Partisan league has simply
run the state into debt and left the
taxpayers TO foot the bill while its lead
crs have sought new fields of cxploita-
tons. which seems ever green. Several
states have been chosen aS good pas
lures and organizers are at work along
the old line.
