IA GOOD OBJECT LESSON

N Consider for a moment the case Of the Werner
Experimental creamery. and its operation under the
Nonpartisan League state administration. E.i3s4$
The creamery was established under a bill
passed by the Nonpartisan League legislature of
1919 which authorized and directed the state com
missioner of agriculture labor to contract for,
operate andmanage, state experimental creamery
and then continued; "The commissioner gof agri-
detailed record Of all operations and shall publish
at such intervals may be deemed proper, the re-
suits of such activities, experiments or investiga
tions undertaken" :4 g
The latter part of the law was never complied
with by the league administration, and when the
Independent administration took over the affairs Of
the state, no records showing that any experiments
state had ever been made.
Moreover it was found that the business meth
DDS of the creamery had been so spshod that they
had been condemned even by O. f. Lofthus, state
examiner under the Frazier administration. Many
records could not be found at ALL "A quantity Of
cancelled checks were found in box in the carpen-
ter room Of the capitol building. There were no
records to be found of cash receipts disbursements
sales, etc. Such the business methods" used
in running this establishment under the Nonpart-
sarr League administration.
What was the result of such methods?
The creamery was small affair for which the
state paid an annual rental of only 1915. 1t was in
active operation for only some months and
the volume of business was comparatively small the
entire expense of operation, including butter fat
purchases up to January l, 1921, amounting to $685.
OSS.sr
Nevertheless the loss incurred by the cream
cry on this amount of business under the League
administration was $15287.89. y
Think of it, loss of nearly rs per cent on the
amount OF business transacted. s.
And now the representatives of this same Non
partisan League, men who have put their approval
on the manner in which the former league admins
tration conducted this Werner cneamery, seek to
be placed in charge of the big $2,ooo,opo mill and
elevator nearing completion in Grand Forks.
Men who have given their approval to the con-
duct of small business in such slipshod way as
to constitute "a scandal and who represent the same
element as those who so conducted this establish
ment now ask to be given control over the biggest
business the state will have. '%@ l@e
-
Do the farmers of North Dakota want the
Grand Forks Mill and Elevator conducted in
the same way the Werner creamery was con-
Quoted with millions of dollars of loss to the
taxpayers resulting?
This is what the putting across Of th. NM
partisan League ticket may logically be expected
to mean. &"fm,

Section 80 of the state constitution OF North
Dakota reads follows:
'.No member of the legislative assembly
shall during the term for which he was elected
be appointed or elected to any civil office Ill
which shall have been created, or the emolu-
nent to which shall have been increased dur
ing the term for which he was elected.
That seems pretty clear.
But A. A. Lederbach member OF the
state legislature which created the state experl-
mental creamery at Werner, and the same a. a.
Lederbach was given job at that creamery, being
employed for three and onehalf months. at salary
of $2O8.3 per month. This took place under the
late unlamentcd Nonpartsan league administration.
Now while this would appear to be pretty d.
rect violation of the fundamental law of the state,
that in itself would hardly be worth commenting
on Little things like law violations didn't bother
anyone much under the FrazierLemkc regime.
They were too common. But the affair is interest
ing when it is considered in connection with the
present attempt of the Nonpartisan league to regain
control of the state government which means con-
troll and management of the state mill and elevator
at Grand Forks
The Werner creamery small affair so the
opportunity to place deserving leaguers in good
Jobs there was comparatively small, but just think
what glorious chance league administration
would have to reward the faithful with fat juicy po
sitions.
OF course this might be rather expensive for
the public. In operating the little Werner cream
cry for seven months the league administration
managed to lose over $4,000 Of the peoples money,
and with the Grand Forks plant the loss would
probably up into the hundreds of thousands in
the SANG length of time and with the methods
used, but what good league official would worry
about that when the deserving heeler is to be re-
warded?
Of course the farmers might not like it but the
league leaders showed pretty clearly how much they
cared for them when J. N. Hagan showed him
self in front of over 100 farmers in getting farm
loan to which he wasn't even entitled under the law.
SO if the farmers are willing to return them to
power after making that sort Of a. record why
should the league bosses worry?

CHAPTER xI.

A metamorphosed David-he hao
spent an hour at his flat in st. James
street-presented himself onathe fol
lowing Sunday afternoon before s
large but somewhat gloomy-looking
house at the top of Curzon street This
butler who admitted him was betrayed
into an expression OF melancholy sur.
prise. He usheredfthis unexpected vis-
itor into the hall, however, with a bow
of the deepest respect.
Madame is resting" he announced,
in low tone. Word shall be sent to
her." = A.gs -
David waited for few moments in
large apartment Upon the ground
floor. the walls of which were lined
to the ceiling with ancient volumes
The furniture was Victorian and much
used There was an odor OF decayed
leather which almost sufrocated him.
He was left alone, however, only for 9

He laughed back at her.

suspiciously. -

What you've got to say about this,
David You're just over from Amer
lea, aren't you? Are they all turning
Socialist over there. too, eh?"
- ''The atmosphere is distinctly dem
ocratic." David replied, "and i think
that in the course of the next few
years there will be great changes, On
the other hahd the relations between
labor and capital have, always been
on a sounder basis in the States, so
the need for reform is, in way, less

Mr.. Grumpy pinched his cigar and
dropped the ash.

said defiantly. l"for any change in the
relations between capital and labo-. in

THE LEGION CONVENTION.

The North Dakota department OF the American
Legion opens its annual convention today at Devils
Lake. This is the fourth state convention which
has been held by the North Dakota department
since the first gathering at Bismarck and that which
opens today have been marked by the growth of the
legion, from an experimental organization with
more or less doubtful prospects into thoroughly
organized and established institution which is be-
coming more and more factor in the life of the
state.
So far the Legion has been successful in sur
mounting the obstacles which it has encountered
What success it will have in the future depends on
the members themselves 1t has shown itself we'll
able to fend off all assaults from without Its
problems in the days to come will probably arise
within its own ranks If it meet these in the,
spirit of disinterested patriotic service which
animated its members during the great war in which
the organization had its genesis then its success is
assured, and as the years go by it will more and
more realize the ideal for which it was formed

1t was William H. Taft, later president of the
United States, as governor of the Philippine Islands,
who first put forth the theory, and then put the
theory into practice that the best method of bring
ing American civilization to the Filipinos was
through the introduction of the American school
teacher
That Mr. Taft's idea has stood the test of time
is indicated by the recent announcement that Cen

porting sixty new teachers for schools in the var
