WHY NOT?

i 1t was J. J. Farley of Valley City
who suggested to US that the best wa,
to restore harmony in North Dakota
and to save further vast expenditures
OF money is to turn over the indus
trial business now operated BY the
state to the largest and best organ
lied cooperative society of the stat
1t would have to be done either b,
referendum vote or by the legisla.
ture. If there were time to prepare
the petitions, and interest enough
aroused to have them circulated the
best way would be to submit the prop.
osition at the general election : No
vember.
. This industrial program has been
the cause of much trouble in the state
and has resulted in the division of the
people of the state into two palt:es
and has aroused bitter feelings. 1t
has made a barrier between the farm
ers and the business man of the town
to the detriment of both.
The success of the farmer is bound
up with the success of the business
man and vice versa. Modern society
has become much too complex to al
low one man or one class of men to
be sufficient Of themselves. Each man
needs the help of many and each man
has to extend help to many. Such is
the law Of modern business.
State operation of industrial enter
prises, not monopolistic in nature, ap-
pears to us to be unsound economic
ally, for the reason that no man will
work as hard nor give so much at
tention to the business of his neigh
Dor as he will do for himself.
This is the substance of the matter
the extra per cent of efficiency a
man gives his own business over that
he gives to the business of another
man. Aside from this is the advan-
tage he will take of the public bust
ness to further his own. This COM
bination is fatal to state owned en-
terprises.
North Dakota has now expended a
few million dollars in starting these
and unless these enter
prlses are made to pay there will be
continuous expenditure to keep them
going and some day they will have to
be scrapped.
1t is better to let the farmers scrap
their own movement than it is for anv
political party to do so.
A farmers organization ought to
have the interest of the movement
more at heart than a bunch of office
seekers and should be more proficient
N conducting the business, and having
invested these millions the citizens of
The state want to see some good come
rom them if possible.
If these enterprises are turned over
% the farmers they will have a fair
rial under favorable conditions and if
hey have any merit should flourish.
+ they are unsound economically they
must one day be scrapped-and by the
armers themselves.
And in the meantime the state will
ave the further expenditure of mil
ions.-State Democrat.

E. H. Briggs, who recently returned
from an auto trip in Illinois, says that
as ne was coming home, he stopped at
Lacrosse, Wis. Some tourists there,
asked him if he was going west and
ne said he was. The tourist then said.
"Well, whatever you do, stop at VAL

While the league leaders

While the league leaders are
haranguing about how much money
Truman Newberry spent in the pri-
mary election that placed him in the
senate it would be well to get state
ment from our league friends as to
how much of that one hundred and
seventeen thousand dollars was spent
in securing the nomination for Mr..
Frazier. Senator McCumber has filed
a statement that his expenses were
less than 81 500, which is very mod
crate sum, we will say.

The tariff fight in the United States
senate at Washington is boiling over
these days-not on account of the very
hot weather-but because the sena-
ators on both sides of the political
fence cannot get together on the bill
and pass it. 1t is not to be expected
that the bunch of democrats in the
senate will turn around and vote for a
republican tariff bill, because they are
not built that way, but the republicans
themselves cannot agree. The wool
and yarn schedules seem to be the
thorn in the flesh and about a dozen
senators on the republican side of the
chamber refuse to vote for those
schedules. This is great life-being
a United States senator.

Donald G. Fletcher, government
expert, comes out with a Statement
this morning saying that hot weather
will bring black rust in North Dako
ia. There is always somebody taking
the ioy out of life for the farmer
He no sooner commences to feel Sc
cure in getting a crop when some
body throws monkey wrench into his
dreams and causes him to sleep un-
soundly. What's the use of bringing
in these "ifs". If the wet weather
comes then it is good rust weather.
If we get some warm weather 1t Is
rust weather. land so on ad libitum
For ninety days following the placing
of his seed into the ground the farmer
is sitting on the ragged edge of un-
certainty as to whether or not he is
going to get a crop. And yet there
are people who envy the farmer.
T. F. Mccarthy, in the Devils Lake
Journal, very aptly says: "There is
another animal instinct about humans
that needs some attention, and that is
the habit of reasonably sensible peo-
pie jumping in front of moving auto
mobiles or worse yet, their refusal to
move off the road when cars are ap-
preaching. We have noticed, for in
stance, at the fair grounds how men
and women, and children initiate their
elders, appear and deliberately stand
in front of the path of automobiles
on the highways. If car hits one
of these people, up goes an awful
howl and the driver is probably invlt-
ed to a social lynching party. The
people who thus get in front OF NOV
ing vehicles and refuse to move at
the horns warning ought to be locked
up during fairs and other things
which bring crowds together. We
can excuse chicken or a COW when
either jumps in front Of an auto, be-
cause these have no brains that rea-
son; but human beings can offer no
such alibi, although we often think

Mr.. Frazier, who ran away with
the senatorial nomination on the 2Sth
of June last, has been exceedingly
busy lately giving out interviews of
what he proposes to do when he gets
down to the senate in Washington
Mr.. Frazier recently has said that he
will line up with Senator LaFollette.
This would mean that we would have
another demagogue in the senate in
the person of Mr.. Frazier. At any
rate he is not yet in the senate and
there is an old saying that there is
many a slip 'twixt cup and the lip,
and it would be we'll to keep that fact
we'll in mind before he plans on what
he is going to do in the United States
senate. This counting the chickens
before they are Matched sometimes re-
suits in the downfall of many am
bilious persons.

w. C. Forman, Jr., who for the
past twenty-three years has been at
the helm of the Hankinson News, has
sold out to Messrs. Harold H. Barker
and Edwin Rathje, of Elbow Lake,
MINI. Mr.. Forman has given the peo-
pie of Hankinson a good paper and
retires from the business with re-
gret from the boys of the newspaper
fraternity. He says he will enter
other lines of business but will re-
main at Hankinson. The new owners
have taken hold of the job and the
first editorial utterance is to the eff
feet that Mr. Frazier will be elected
next fall by larger majority than he
had over McCumber. They are tax

The leaders of the nonpartisan lea
que are not yet satisfied with the
drubbing they recently received at the
polls. A meeting is to be held at Bis
marck to thresh out a plan of contin-
ued operation, particularly along the
"shake-down" lines. The league owes
quarter of a million dollars for ac-
commodation notes given by farmers
and the leaders want the farmers to
come in again on new deal in men,
bership prices so that these obliga-
tons can be wiped out. There are
several ways this can be done accord
ing to the leaders. The state execu-
tive committee wants a reorganization
campaign basing the membership fees
on $12 good for two years. Mr.. Town
ley has plan whereby he would
make drive for membership at $3.50
for two years, throwing in the North
Dakota Leader and the Courier-News
as premiums. Secondly, he would
make a drive for funds with which to
retire outstanding obligations, and
third, he would make still another
