SPEAK WELL OF THE DEAD"

The obsequies Of the Nonpartisan
party in North Dakota is being con-
Quoted at the state capitol. The
cause Of death is being diagnosed by
the civil authorities, and those who
are responsible for the demise of the
once great political organization are
scampering in every direction to
evade the clutches of the law.
The rank and file of the members
of the organization, who supported
the leaders in good faith are amazed
at the crookedness of those whom
they had faith in. The few of the
"leaders" who are left to carry the
burden are hurting epithets through
the Courier-N News and the Nonparti-
san Leader condemning them for
what they have done.
Mr.. Leiderbach has assumed the
leadership that Mr.. Lemke held a
short time ago, and Mr.. Lemke is at
tending to business interests, he is
holding in Mexico, according to re-
ports from Fargo. The Courier
News, once owned and controlled by
Mr.. Lemke, printed columns denoun-
cling its former owner and the way
he left that paper and the party to
shift for themselves when he was
needed here to defend them in court,
and the Nonpartisan Leader is echo
ing the Courier-News.
J. J. Hastings, who was Mr.. Town.
.ty's first lieutenant in this state, in
the balmy days when the members
of the League shelled out the money
freely at the beck and call of the
bosses, is said to be in hiding in Sc
attic or some other place on the Pa
cific coast to evade arrest. He is
charged with purloini1g $4,000 from
the defunct Scandinavian American
Bank Of Fargo, of which he was vice
president.
Mr.. Cathro, who was manager of
the Bank of North Dakota at SAL
ary Of $4,000 year, with an addi-
tional $4,000 for expenses, has been
cited by Attorney General Svein-
bjorn Johnson, to show what he did
with the $4,000 collected from the
farmers to defend the Bank Of North
Dakota against "Big Biz"
It is said there is no record Of
what was done with $4,000 Of this
money and many Of the vouchers
showing what was done with the
rest Of the money are missing.
Thus the beginning Of the end of
the Nonpartisan League in this state
is ebbing to close, and the people
are beginning to open their eyes and
sec that they have been swindled ~
one Of the biggest political combina-
tions ever recorded in America.
Another of the leaders Of the Lea
que went to Norway q soon as he
was relieved from Office after election
and he is still there. We predict

the high points adopted in the con-
ference reports, while individual
members Of the farm group in Con-
gress have even gone step or two
farther, as in the case of the price,

Cooperative marketing bills have
already been advanced by Senator's
Capper and McC Cumber in the Senate
and by Representative Volstead in
the House.
Congressman Young has had bill
in committee calling for the estab-
ishment Of a system Of reporting
foreign markets in the past two
Congresses.
Representatives Sinclair of North
Dakota, and Christopherson. Of S. D.,
have both introduced price-fxing
bills.
The Young emergency tariff law
has given agriculture "the same
measure Of protection accorded labor
and capital in other industries" and
the farm bloc will fight to,keep the
status quo in the permanent bill.
@ The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence riv-
er project has had the momentum Of
the farm bloc behind it since its in
ception. i.
The meeting Of the conference in
Washington had certain publicity

New York City papers Il have given
the farm congressman everything
but horns and the returning states
men ought to be well worth seeing
when, they are home for their next
endorsement. -
A national system Of cooperative
marketing Of farm products would
be established under a bill introdu-
.ced by Senator McCumber Of North
Dakota, as substitute for the PEN
ding Capper-V r-Volstead bill. The Nc
Cumber bill, according to the North
Dakota senator, would be more COM
.prehensive than any of the measures
yet proposed, and go far toward the
solution Of the farm marketing pro-
blem.
In his speech before the Senate
Mr.. McCumber stated that there
are thre main causes for the pre-
sent suffering of the agricultural
class:
/ The general depression through
out the world. .
2 The overproduction of farm pro-
ducts which forces the American
farmer to dispose of his surplus in
foreign countries whose financial
stress and general poverty render it
impossible for them, to purchase
those products at reasonable prices.
8 The wide disparity, which has
steadily been growing greater for
half a century, between the earnongs
of the. trades and business in our
large cities, and the standard of liv-
ing therein, as compared with the
earnings and standard of living of
the farmer and his family.
'The whole effort of nations from
a national standpoint should be to
assist, So far as legislation can as
sist, in bringing about higher COM
pensation for the producers of farm
products" declared Senator McCum-
ber. "This can be done
First, by holding the American
market for the American farmer so
far as he is able to supply that mar
ket for reasonable compensation"
second, by assisting in every pos
s,-.ie way in. the distribution of farm
products, to the end that the farmer
shall receive a living price for the
things he produces. This latter re-
suit can be attained only through
the methods of cooperative market
ing"
In brief the McCumber bill would
create Federal cooperative market
ing board in Washington to super
wise and work through cooperative
marketing associations to be organi-
zed throughout the several states.
The proposed measure would in no
way interfere with existing coopera-
tive associations and such associa-
tions would be allowed membership
in, and the increased facilities of,
the national organization.

WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER.

Exclusive to the Pioneer Expressly
III the agricultural conference just
ended North Dakota men played a
leading part il conference debates
and in committee work. John N.
Hagan Of Deering, described the
plight Of the northwestern growers
IN vivid style in his opening address
as the spokesman for the wheat belt.
=. b. Page Of Leeds took the floor
On the second day advocating the re-
viyal Of the United States Grain Cor
poration, coupled with guaranteed
price for wheat. The marketing
committee, however, in its report,
side-stepped the price-fixing propos-
al, adopting 8 q resolution calling on
the President and Congress ia. take
steps to bring about fair exchange
value for farm products.
]. G. Wanamaker, president Of the
American Cotton Association, sup
ported by John M. Anderson of st.
Paul, endeavored to have adopted an
amendment calling for "stabiliza-
tion," which in effect would have
been an endorsement of price-fxing,
but failed. I.
The conference did however re-
commend the careful investigation of
the subject by Congress and thus the
way is still open for such policy to
be. pushed without the previous dis
approval Of the farm conference.
Representative Young, in recent
speech in the House, declared for i'm
mediate relief, either in form of a
governmental price-fixing, or some
sther equally drastic and effective
alternative. Congressman Sinclair,
author Of q price-fxing bill, has to-
ken . similar position. and while he
is not at all confident that his pro-
position will meet with general favor
he believes, in common with many
others, that Congress may yet be.
forced to accept his bill in principle
for want Of some relief legislation
which will assure the farmer Of a
iving-wage for his efforts.
