Judge Bingha1n's $
Decision Upheld;
La Follett Wins
Rider Attached to Salem Kings Products
Company Contracts Guaranteed Growers
Market Price, Is Ruling; Lower Court Re-
versed In Contempt Proceedings

The rider" attached to the
contracts made by the Salem
Kings Products company with io~
cranberry growers in this dist rict
guaranteed to the producers the
benefit of any increase in the price
of berries after the contract was
made, according to an opinion
handed down by the supreme
court this morning.
The opinion which is written by
Justice Harris affirms the decree
of Judge Bingham of the Marion
county circuit court in the case of
Salem Kings Products company, a
corporation, VS.. S. V. Ramp, Bruce
Cunningham, Britt Aspinwall, G. III.
Dencer, o. l.. Dencer, Clyde Har-
ris, August Lentz, l.. S. Murdick.
w. Howard Ramp and A. e. Har-
ris, loganberry growers.
Contracts Cancelled.
The lower court had cancelled
the contracts because of failure OF
the company to perform the same
except as construed by II, and had
ordered the distribution OF $23,-
365.11 between the grower-le-
PENDANTS in the case, representing
the difference between the five
and one-half cents pound con-
ceded by the company ana nine
cents a pound claimed by the
growers based on the price in the
open market which, they contend
ed, automatically regulated their
contract price under the terms OF
the rider"
Suit was brought in the lower
court by the Salem Kings Product
company for the purpose OF com-
pelling the growers of logarbcr-
ries to perform their respective
contracts to deliver berries to the
company under their four cent
contracts entered into in 1917
covering a period of ten years. In
order to encourage growers to en-
ter into contracts at that time on
basis of four cents a pound the
Salem company attached a rider to
their printed contracts which read
as follows;
Rider Cause Of Suit.
'1f Salem Kings Products COM
pany raise their buying price TO
other growers in 1918 or there
after this contract will automatic-
ally conform with that price"
When the price OF berries on the
open market went to nine cents
the growers held out for that
price under the terms of this rider.
The company, however. was Will
ing to concede only five and one
half cents on the contention that
no contracts had been entered in
to by them at a higher price.
i Under the decree of the lower
court as upheld by the supreme
court this morning the open mar

put end to it's pestferous interference with righteous
legitimate business" That great hit
with the five hundred business gathered around the
banquet table.

President He said the law of supply and demand s
dead New England salted mackerel."
That there is proper relation between pro-
ducton cost cost is constantly proved said
Mr. Crssinger "A farmer took 22 calf skins and
received for them the price of pair of shoes
and cash balance of s120.
"The farmer sells his fatted sheep at cents per
pound but you pay S150 at good hael for English
mutton chop weighing about six ounces.
Il know of retailer who bought fannels AZ cents
yard and sold them 60 cents-a reasonable profit
But later he bought the fannels at 20 cents
What did he do? He put sale offering these fannes
at so cents the yard
"On the first transaction he had margin of 18 cents,
but the latter made with the pretense that he
giving customers the benefit of great slash in prices he
the unconscionable profit of $50 per cent"
No right thinking wants the government to in
terfere with righteous legitimate business But the

FEW PLAIN FACTS
ABOUT NORTH DOKOTA
By u. Z. Burdick

Usher l.. Burdick, state president
of the North Dakota Farm Bureau
Federation and member of the board
|of directors of the United States
Grain Growers. Inc, declared on his
return from Chicago that he found it
necessary in the Chicago conference
to speak plainly about the situation
in North Dakota.
There were SO many knocks at
North Dakota by members of our own
committee, who were ignorant of con-
ditions there, and simply took their
views from unfriendly newspapers"
said Mr.. Burdick, shat at last 1
asked for permission to speak for 15
minutes, and have my remarks incor-
porated in the minutes. Permission
was granted and had my say.
II told them was not Nonparti-
san. 1 told them had been fought
by the Nonpartisans when ran for
governor. But l told them that we
have constitution in this state l
told them that under that constitu-
tain rights. One of these rights is to
say exactly how the state shall be
governed.
Il told them that again and again
the people had declared in favor of a
state mill and elevator. I showed
that it will take only s2,Oo0,00O to
build this mill and elevator, and that
when it is completed it will hold
100000 bushels of wheat and will be
able to clean and forward $50 cars of
wheat per day. l showed that this
mill and elevator will fit exactly into
the plan of our national sales agency.
Il told them it was all rot about
North Dakota being bankrupt. told
them there is one national bank in
my town of 5000 population that has
a larger debt than the whole state of
North Dakota. / told them we have
2S0.000 quarter sections of land, with
a debt against each of only a few
cents. l told them we have S75,000,-
600 invested in our public institu-
tions, l said we have only God knows
how many billion dollars worth of
coal lands, I said that, instead of be-
ing bankrupt, there isn't state in
the Union so far from bankruptcy as
North Dakota"
That Mr.. Burdick's defense of
North Dakota bore fruit is proved by
an item in the weekly news service
of the National Farm Bureau Fedora
tion, dated April 81, in which it is
stated that the Mill and Elevator
bonds will be sold as the result of his
endorsement and activities.
Interviewed concerning the enter
prise, Mr.. Burdick said: ''The state
of North Dakota has already expend-
ed S1,00O,O00 on the plant at Grand
Forks, which will have one of the
best planned terminals in the coun-
try. When finished, farmers can ship
in l5O carloads of grain per day and
the facilities will permit of its being
cleaned, dried and shipped out the
same day. The wheat growers of
North Dakota are anxious to have the
mill and elevator completed. They
look upon the sale Of the bonds as an

economic and not a political measure.
The rank and file of our wheat grow
ers are behind the plan to sell the
mill and elevator bonds, and there is
no question but that they will be
quickly absorbed"

MAKES GREAT DIFFERENCE WHO SAYS IT
A. c. Townley Said This in 1917

a. IOWnley
Following is the statement of Mr.. Townley in his
speech Glencoe, Mimi, June 81 1917 in favor of
conscription of wealth This portion of his speech
used by the prosecution at Jackson to prove"
that Mr.. Townley was 'disoyal:"
don't believe it is right for to to war. put the
nation billions of dollars in debt and then when the
is ask these boys to back and off the
war debt
should pay after the is billions of dollars
to proteers when sending boys to die
Let's whether this is rgth, to take surplus
wealth to finance the The rich is not going to
give the biggest sacrifice make-ther lives.
Hundreds of thousands millions of the best boys
have will be sacrificed; they will lose their and legs
their sight and hearing and back to their fathers
mothers, sisters and sweethearts The government will
give back what is left and When the is
you will only that dreary that what
mains of your boy you may have.
So propose that there is a God in heaven
not going to permit these to back to pay off
this debt. We will not shoulder their backs great
burden after the sacrifice they have made We propose
that this nation shall take much of the surplus wealth
of our nation and it and when the is
give back much of the wealth left and more
W. G. Harding Says This in 1921
Following is the portion of President Hardings
inaugural address, Washington D. c.. March A.
1921 dealing with the subject, and showing that
President Harding takes the ground that
Mr. Towney took four years ago:
If * is again forced upon us, earnestly hope
way may be found which will unity individual and
collective strength and consecrate all America materially
and spiritually body and SOUL to national defense
vision the ideal republic where every and
called under the flag for assignment duty for what
service, military civic, the individual is best fit
ted where may call universal service every plant
agency facility all in the sublime sacrifice for country
and not penny of profit shall nure to the benefit
of private individual corporation combination but all
above the shall flow into the defense chest the
nation There is something Inherently something
with the ideals representative democracy
when portion of citizenship turns its activity
private gain amid defensive while another is fight
ing sacrificing dying for national preservation
Out of such universal service will come unity
of spirit and purpose, confidence and
which would make defense mpregnable triumph
assured Then should have little dsorganization
of economic industrial and commercial systems at
home, staggering debts swollen fortunes to
