POLITICAL BUNK IN LARGE CHUNKS

The Nonpartisan league is expanding a large scale according to Walter Thomas Mills of Berkeley California, and T. P. Doyle of Min neapolis.
 The new political movement in California is to be financed by million dollar fund. Mills is state organizer and Doyle is national organizer of the league.
 At recent mass meeting in San Francisco, Mills said that no attempt would be made to in- terfere with the programs of the socialistic party or the farmer-labor party and that no can didates would be placed in the field in California by the Nonpartisan league until 100000 families had been pledged to league support in the state
 The leagues purpose, he said, lis to gather in single body the useful people through fed eration of agricultural, industrial, commercial, professional and other occupational self-govern- ing departments = body strong enough to get possession of the state government of Califor- mia and all it's political subdivisions in order to use it's public power and resources to protect and promote trade union activities public enterprises and cooperative undertakings
 Its membership shall not be deemed sufficient unless 40,OO0 of them shall be farmers and 40,- 900 wage earners."
 One of the main groups will be formed by housewives, Mills said, and after the next elec- tion he expects to train hundreds of women in regard to the theories of the Nonpartisan league and send them on house to house canvass throughout all California.
 This is wonderful program and should en- able MT. Mills and his solicitors to collect $10 from everyone of the useful people" whom the league approaches.
 To a man familiar with the workings of the nonpartison league, it is easy to discern behind this camouhage of words, the socialistic program of league leaders to socalize as far as possible, California, both politically and industrially.
 It is safe to say that the $500, ,000, 900 state power project scheme will secure the solid back ing of the league organization and will be one of its main arguments for securing contributions.
 The regretable feature of the situation is that the "single body of useful people" which will comprise the league cannot be left in California by themselves to finance their wonderful state ownership propositions, pay the tax bills thus created, and have all the pleasures and benefits which will result CPD from a socialized state such as they propose.
 Apparently these useful people" are not satis- field with the result of the experiments which have practically wrecked North Dakota and in- stead of living there, they wish to try the ex- pertinent again farther vest
 If these useful people" should be as success ful in establishing their reign of mismanagement along socialistic lines as they were in North Da- kota, the unfortunate citizens in California who are not useful people, and members of the league would find that after the fireworks were over they would be left to pay the bills for this experiment of the useful hundred thousand"
 It seems impossible to conceive that the voters of California can be fooled by the political bunk which professional league organizers hand out at $10 per member, especially when all these or ganizers can point to as testimonials is record of league failures, bankruptcies and political wrecks in every section and state where it has met with any temporary political control.
