nationwide drive nov being made
by the forces OF special privilege
to have congress repeal excess pro-
fits taxes and lower the taxes on
large incomes, and shift the burden
OF taxes to the consumer by means
of sales taxes or special commodity
taxes. We are unfalteringly OPP
posed to any attempt thus to trans
fer taxes, now borne by the profit
GERS and idle rich, to the common
people.
Armament Cut Demanded
Eighth-lnasmuch as 80 per cent
of our present national taxes go to
meet the expenses of past wars and
preparation for future wars. We be-
lieve that the way to lower taxes
is to reduce military and naval ex-
penditures. Our present race Of
ornaments con only lead us to war
IL 1t is continued. Great Britain and
Japan are willing to enter into ne
gotiati0ns for a naval holiday and
IS per cent of the people Of the Unit
ed States demand that our govern
ment should take a clear-cut stand
for peace.
Ninth-The -Cummins rail-
road law has proved . failure. In
spite OF unprecedented increases in
railroad rates the railroads have
been looted Of much of their reven-
ues by graft and are now about to
demand further increases. We urge
the repeal of the Esch- Cummins law
and the operotion Of the railroads
by the government. II this cannot
be brought about Immediately, the
interstate commerce commission
should at least be deprived Of its
dual capacity OF acting as fiscal
agent Of the railroads, on one hand,
and as . court in the rate cases.
Reserve Policy Condemned
Tenth.-We condemn the policy
Of the federal reserve board which
has brought financial disaster on our
country, first, by pursuing . policy
Of imitation for the benefit OF war
and postwar profiteers. and then by
pursuing policy Of sudden defla-
ton. which has forced the farmers
OF America to sell their products
at prices far below the cost OF pro-
ductton. thus causing financial de-
preston throughout the nation and
more than doubling the burden of
debt.
Eleventh.-We congratulate the
women OF America upon having won
the ballot and call upon them to
take their rightful place on the side
of the common people seeking fur
their industrial and political demo-
cracy. We especially commend the
progressive work OF the Women's
Nonpartisan clubs in interesting the
women OF the farms in lettering
conditions.
| Twelfth.-Organized workers of
the cities and the organized farm
ers have a common cause ind COM
mon enemy. We thank organized
labor for it's cooperation and assist
ance in our political struggles and
express our hope that they may be
successful in their fight against the
interests that would destroy their
organizations and we pledge support
to them in their struggles with spe-
ctal privilege and for industrial
democracy.

to their trust and have done their
utmost to bring about the compile
ton Of the industrial program
which has been ratified by the peo-
pie at nine different elections.
State Bank Commended
Third-We commend especially
the achievements of the Bank Of
North Dakota. In spite of conspir-
acy to destroy its credit and bring
about it's ruin that would have prov
en- disastrous to any private bank
ing institution, this bank of the peo-
pie has stood like a rock Of Gibral-
tar.
Nourth-The attitude of the fin
ancial powers of the country, in
placing boycott upon the state Of
North Dakota and in refusing to
buy securities unless the state
would give up its sovereignty, can
only be answered by the action Of
the common people Of the country.
We invite honest men and women
everywhere to examine the affairs
of North Dakota and to lend their
support in preventing Wall street
from becoming q political dictator.
We urge our members to invest
their savings in North Dakota
bonds. The validity of these bonds
has been sustained by the supreme
court of the United States. They are
secured by resources amounting to
$9,OOO,0OO,OOO and the taxing
power of the state. These bonds are
exempt from taxation by the nation
al government and the states. An
investment in these bonds is abso-
lutely safe and will insure the sue
cess of the most important indus
trial program in existence in this OF
any other country.
Wisconsin Is CONGRATULATED
Fifth-Through the cooperation

city workers and progressives gen.
orally, Wisconsin now has in Gov
ernor John ]. Blaine a state official
and his associates upon the ticket
who truly represent the common
people in their struggle for demo-
cracy and better conditions. We con-
graduate the people Of Wisconsin
for their achievement in the cause
Of honest and popular government.
Sixth-We congratulate the peo-
pie Of North Dakota in sending TO
the United States senate DIR. e. f..
Ladd. For the first time the organ
lied farmers, not only Of North Da-
kota, but Of the entire nation. will
be represented in the highest de-
Lucrative body of our country and
our program will become not mere

States to Keep Books
The state Organization will keep
the detailed books and accounts
which formerly have been kept ut
the national office, and the nation
al headquarters only a summary
of the books Of the states.
States will have complete auton-
omy in the matter Of platforms and
programs for nomination Of candid
ates and will decide for themselves
the political parties in which to run
their candidates, or whether they
will run as independents or third
party candidates. The national Of
fee retains merely a supervisory au-
thority in regard to organization in
the various states.
The state committees of farmers
have complete charge in the states
except that the national once re-
tains veto power in the matter of
appointment Of state managers, and
the national Office papers in regard
to national matters and questions
leaving the policy Of the papers re-
garding local state affairs to the

Construction of the southwest

the blue prints for the structure. 1t

approval of the building commission,
OF which Col. Kutz is a member, at

itself to contribution OF not less

Headquarters Favers.
It was brought out that officials at
the Franklin School. headquarters OF
Supt. Frank w. Baliou and the board
OF education, are thoroughly in ac-
cord with the wishes of Tech regard
ing q new building. The school au-
thorities, realizing the handicap un-
der which Tech is laboring. included
in their estimates to the District
Commissioners a recommendation that
the school be awarded site for q
new building.
1t is understood that the Commits
sioners agreed with the school au-
thorities as to the need for this ap-
propriation. and members Of the
greater Tech committee last night ex-
pressed hope, bordering on conf1dence
that the estimates as received by
federal budget officials contained an
item covering the building site as
recommended from the Franklin
School.
That budget officials will not allow
the Tech provision. II such there is
to come under the ECONOMY knife
when the actual emergency confront
ing the school is known was the be-
lief Of the Tech committee. 1t was to
acquaint these officials, thought to be
holding in their hands the fate OF the
Tech appropriation. with the facts as
emphasized at the general school as
sembly yesterday that the publicity
drive was decided on.
Those attending the conference last
night included Principal Daniel, Louis

plans for an intensive campaign for

History Of Movement.
The movement for a new building
for Mckinley was launched by the
committee of faculty members and
alumni some time ago, following
complete abandonment. of the initial
plan of asking that an addition to
the school be erected on the present
site. Phenomenal increase in enroll
ment, and the fact that the present
structure Is in the midst of a well
built-up residential and business
community, precluding future ex-
pansion, led to the switch in plans. it
was pointed out.
