DON'T TRY TO BEAT TRAIN TO
CROSSING.

The American Railroad association
is instituting a nation wide campaign
to save human life at railroad eros
sings. The slogan is "Cross Crossings
Cautiously" The association points
out that 1900 persons are killed on
railroad grade crossings annually and
5000 persons sustain painful and cripp-
ling injuries. About rs per cent of
the killed and injured are occupants
CT automobiles.
The association asks the public to
remember that a railroad crossing is
a place Of danger where no chances
should be taken whether it is protected
or not. 1t asks motorists not to at
tempt to cross before an approaching
train. 1t declares that:
Many lives have been snuffed out
because the driver of an automobile
thought that he could beat the train
to a crossing and the result has been
a tie. People don't take the time t.
insure their own safety. The old IA
miliar slogan, Stop, Look, and Listen
is about the best piece Of advice ever
written"

Democrats Not q nFnctOr.

n : Z
Progressiyes throughout the country
should be on guard against clever
propaganda disseminated by the re-
dictionary element; to defeat DR.. Hen
.ik Shipstead and Magnus Johnson,
progressive candidates on the Far
mer-Labor ticket for United States
Senator and governor respectively.
The purpose of the propaganda very
obviously is to confuse the public
mind as to who are the progressive
candidates for these Offices. It is a
very subtle and dangerous propaganda
# its purposes are not exposed. 8 9 q
The reactionary press of the state,
by inferences and implications, seek to
(screate the impression that the Demo
cratic candidates are backed by the
progressives. Considerable space is
given to their speeches in their col
umns, together with comment in
tones more or less friendly. The pur.
Pose is to make the public feel that
the real contest is between the Republi-
can and Democratic nominees, whereas
in reality it is between tie Republican
and Farmer-Labor nominees.
If the propaganda successful, many
progressive votes may be Weened away
from the progressive nominees in favor
Of the Democractic candidates.
The real progressive candidates are
entirely ignored in the reactionary press
or practically So. In this manner is
sought to create tae impression thai
TIE Farmer-Labor candidates do not
cut much Of figure in the election
Of course, any person who has fol
lowed politics in this state knows how
utterly preposterous, false and mis-
leading such an impression is. Neither
Mrs. Olson or Mr.. Indrehus present
any terrcrs for the reactionaries; the
number of votes they may receive is
not feared. But the reectionaries,
with Wisconsin,, Kansas and other
states in mind, do fear the Farmer
. . :.
Labor candidates, and hence, the Gle
yer and subtle propaganda to confuse
and deceive the public.
Indications, however, are that the
people are alive to the real issues in
the campaign and what the various
candidates stand for. Tie time for
o asi1v deceivinp tho reon1e is fast dis
appearing. The farmer; and workers
Fof the state, whose interests are iden-
tical despite what the kept press may
say, have been hit hard and often by
the financial interests Which control
the country and which element Kel-
!ogg and Freus represent, and their
eyes are open., Even the entire kept
press Of the state, powerful as it is,
assisted by magazines, Of tremendous
circulations, will not fool them.

Curb Public UNl1hes.

Mayor George E. Leach of Minnea-
polls has surprised the Republican
machine which placed him in power
by coming out fiat footed for control
of public utilities. On almost every
occasion Mayor Leach is declaring
that unless Minnesota retains control
of it's water powers it will come under
the domination of a powerful light and
power group which now has vast
properties extending from Maine to
California ..
While Mayor Leach's campaign is
directed primarily to saving the power
developed at the government high
dam for the residents of Minneapolis,
nevertheless, as he has pointed out
repeatedly, it has state wide interest.
For if private monopolies secure con-
troll of the government dam, there will
practically be no water power left in
the state which can be utilized to
break the rates trey choose to saddle
on the public. -
In this connection it is interesting
to note that South Dakota citizens will
have the opportunity this fall of vot-
ing upon the proposition of erecting q
$20,00O,000 hydro-electric plant at
Mobridge on the Missouri which will
supply $4,000 horse power and
100000 klowatt hours of current
per annum for the use of the people
of the state. +
This project is tie result of the
Nonpartisan league drive in South
Dakota two years ago which
forced the Republican party to adopt
public ownership program contain
ing many Of the same demands as the
league program. A Republican legis-
lature committed the voters of the
state to referendum vote on the
project. With the amount Of educa-
tion that has been conducted the
measure has. every prospect of T. be-
coming a law.
In every state where there is a
farmer-labor movement one of the
main purposes of the farmer-labcr pro-
gram is the, state ownership and de-
velopment Of power plants. Hydro
electric power is produced so cheaply
that there is no field where private
monopoly is stronger and makes greater
profits and no place where public owner
ship has such an opportunity to help
the people.

Calhun'S Prediction.

John C. Calhoun, famous statesman,
made the following prediction in 1884:
"Place the money power in the hands
of combination of a few individuals
and they. by expanding or contract
ing the currency, may raise or sink
prices at pleasure, and by purchasing
when at the greatest depression, and
selling when at the greatest elevation,
may command the whole property and
industry of the community and con-
troll it's fiscal operation. The banking
system concentrates and places this
power in the hands Of those who con-
troll it. Never was an engine invented
better calculated to place the destinies
of the many in the hands OF the few,
or less favorable to that equality
and independence which lies ct the
bottom of our free institutions

Bankers Oppose Branches.

Brown county bankers have gone
on record against the establishment of
branch banks which they feel threa ten
to undermine the independent exist
ence of banks over the United States.
Although common in foreign count
ries, branch banking has been practi-
cally unknown in the United States un-
til the present Comptroller of the Cur
rency embarked upon a course which
has given it the greatest impetus it has
received since the days of Andrew
Jackson
Canada, for example, has branch
banking. There are II parent banks
with headquarters at Toronto and
Montreal which have some 5000
branches scattered over the Dominion.
The independent banks have all but
been put OUT ofsexistence.

because he felt that it's power was

The National Banking system, when
it was established in 1868, was planned
as an order Of independent units, and,
as such, was subsequently used as a
model by the majority of the states in
devising or revising their own systems.

al is quoted as holding it unauthorized
by Minnesota laws. 1t is said that
Attorney General Hilton fears that
branch banking will result in the
opening Of many branches by the big
banks where existing small banks are
able to take care of the business. Such
a situation would inevitably result in
warfare between the large and small
banks, in place of each bank having
it's particular place as at present. The
competition would probably near

banking system, and the ultimate
destruction of the smaller institutions.

Progressive papers throughout the
state are giving publicity to an article
which is variously credited to the
Moorhead Press and the Wright Counta
Press. The account describes how
easy it would be to farm if farmers were
privileged to work under similar con-
ditions as that afforded the railroads
through the Esch- Cummins law. The
editorial is as follows:
Nov suppose you owned a farm Of
800 acres of land, and the actual val
ue Of your place was 500 per acre.
That would amount to an actual val
uation Of $4,000, but you have the
privilege of placing your own valua-
ton upon your land, so you call your
place worth 5000 per acre, which would
amount to s64.,0OO. Now go ahead
