UP TO TOWNS TO LIMIT
LOADS IN MUD TINE

State Highway Commissioner 1. W.
Dix has made preparations to do the
highway departments part in the
protection OF roads in accordance with
General Laws, No. 130 Of the statutes
of 1921 by preparing notices Any
action under this statute now awaits
the application of selectmen OF the
towns. Commissioner Dix states.
The notices read as follows: mo
automobile or motor vehicle having
weight, including vehicle and load ex-
ceeding 300 pounds per inch OF tire
width on any wheel shall be operated
on the--road so-called leading from
- TO -- in the town Of
during any period when the ground IS
soft or when frost is coming out or
after heavy rains. By order OF the
State Highway Board, T. W. Dix, com
missioner"
In proceeding under the statute re-
ferred to, the selectmen must first ap-
nlv TO the State highway commissioner
in regard to posting stretch Of road.
The district highway commissioner for
that district then investigates the road
and reports to the State Highway
Board. If it is decided that the road
needs protection, the notices are post
I'd al each end Of the road. One IS
displayed in a newspaper circulating
in and in the vicinity Of the town N
which the road is located. Notices are
also TO be filed with the selectmen of

Vote ''No'' on Grain
Grading Law

It is proper that the voters should
understand what the Lemke Grain
Grading Law, which will be voted on
Nov. 7th, involves. The law is known
as the Lenke law, because Mr.. Lemkc
wrote it and insisted on it being init
ated. 1t even has the support Of many
of the leaders Of the Nonpartisan
League.
The law is so drawn that it provides
for the appointment of chief by the
Railroad Commission instead of by the
governor and the senate, which is the
customary way of making such ap-
pointmcnts. BY means Of this law, the
man who is appointed chief inspector,
can have a political army of upwards
Of one hundred. The cost of main
tanning that despotic bureau, will be a
hundred thousand or more dollars every
year and nothing can be accomplished
by means of that law which cannot be
done under the grain grading laws we
now have with some slight additions
and changes that can be taken care of
when the legislature meets, which will
be within sixty days after the elec-
tion. 1t should also be remembered
that if this law is approved, no legis-
lative body can make even the slight
est change in it without less than two
thirds vote of both houses, thus max
ing it easy for small clique controlled
either by Lemke or someone else, to
maintain this political agency at the
expense of the farmer elevators and
grain growers of the state.
The wise voter will vote emo" on
this law and let the legislature take
care of what needs to be done. The
legislature will be so evenly divided
between Nonpartisans and I. V. AS
that the people can depend on it that
any laws that are needed in this mat
ter will be enacted without the build
ing Of political fences for anybody.

that the Working Peoples Nonpartisan

This confirms the contention that has
been maintained on the part of the
I. V. AS that if labor unions give
any aid or comfort to the I. w. w.

destroyed in a short time. Mr.. Flem-
ing's letter follows in full: "Glad

Whispering Campaign was started by
those various League leaders that ore
under indictment. They dare not be
noisy about it but if they can sue
ced in defeating O'Connor and get
their own man in the Governor chair
and their own judges on the bench
they would be in good shape to let
these cases go to the Supreme Court.
There is motive in their madness. But
the people Of North Dakota believe
that a square deal is a square deaf no
matter who it hurts or helps and they
know that men who are under indict-
mcnt are not the proper men to be
elected to prosecute themselves, there
fore they are going to vote for Shafer
instead of Lcmkc' 8 man.

With these disclosures there can be
no question but what to re-elcct either
Frazier or Lemke in North Dakota
would be to approve of the ravages
that have been perpctrated by the
I. w. w. in this and other states. In
the light of these facts, no farmer who

harvest his crop in peace, can find any
reason for voting for either Frazier

Naturally Lemke would like to be Gov
crnor when these trials get past the
District Court. Sveinbjorn johnson
and Shafer made an effort to get these
cases set for trial in October this
year but Mcssrs. Lemke and his
friends prevailed on the court to post
pone their trials until the day after
election.
Apparently Lemke is fighting to
keep himself out Of the pcnitcntiary
and undoubtedly they feel that these
trials would bring out evidence that
would involve other League leaders.
Frazier would naturally also be re-
quired to disclose more about what
he knows about these cases. The
