PROGRESSIVE OR REAcTIoNARv?

The. cleavage between the progress
sive and conservative forces is becom-
ing more distinct every year. Certain
people who have always had the dir.
ection OF political affairs throw up
their hands in horror over the pros
pect that this power is slipping away
from them. They can see nothing but
calamity ahead unless they control.
They dare not trust the good sense
Of the majority of the people. They
are afraid of "mobrule" when farmers
and householders unite to assert their
political power. The trouble is with
themselves. They are not willing to
concede that there is another legi-
innate side to politics but their own,
and lose the common touch. The po*
sition of fence-rider is going to be-
come very uncomfortable from now
on. Choose this day whom you will
serve. -

= = Troop No. 3, Boy Scouts Of Willmar,
completed their paper campaign last
Saturday II hen some thirteen tons of
magazines, newspapers and baled pa
per was shipped out OF town. The troop
consists of eighteen boys who in this
campaign worked diligently to secure
funds to aid them in the purchase Of
uniforms. Magazines, newspapers
were gathered from practically every
home and business place in every sec
ton of the city except the North side
and Sperryyille. The boys did not
have time to touch these localities
and in fact had very little time to
clean all the territory covered as tho
roly as they desired. The paper was
placed in the basement of the Tri-
bune building which the Tribune al
lowed the boys to use. Here the boys
worked evenings sorting out the pa
per, wrapping the magazines and news
papers in separate bundles of Is lbs
each. So me- five tons of magazines
were wrapped into bundles and some
4 tons of newspapers.
WeumsE lkjer" Company donated 8
bales of paper to- the Scouts, Johnson
& Johnson four bales and the Tribune
some 5 bales. The remaining bales
were purchased from Willmar firms:
Some four tons of baled paper was
thus sold by the Scouts.
= The entire campaign meant hard
work on the part of the boys and the
sum of $3.50 which they realized they
earned in every way.

FARMERS WIFE WRITES

Editor Willmar Tribune:
Have been watching the paper to see
what the reactionary politicians have
to say about North Dakota taxes this
year. Evidently the Minnesota taxes
are SO high, that they dare not men
ton the taxes of North Dakota dur
ing isI1campaign. Neither do we
hear SO much about radicals and So
cialists as before. What has happen
ed to the old Guard? think they have
feeling that Stuff like that will not
have the desired effect on the public
mind any longer.
but now they tell us how efficiently
Senator Kellogg has helped the farm
ers. Now if that is the truth that he
has helped the farmer then think it
is high tine~to ask Providence to pre-
serveaus from that kind of help.
Senator Norris from Nebraska brot
in bill to create a corporation of
500; 100000 capital, with authority to
buy the farmers surplus products to
Europe. No middleman was to profit
by this, or have their fingers in this
pie. This plan was not relished by
the grain gamblers and others of the
Old Guard so something had to be
done. And Kellogg seems to be the
one that came to the rescue. The War
Finance Corporation was revived
which during 1921 and up to the mid
die of August 1922, got $500, 100000 of
the governments money. $4,000, 900
bf this money went to cooperative
marketing associations. $50, 900 900
was used to finance exports, and over
5000 100000 went to banking and fin
ancial institutions, etc. Now can any
one tell who got the most benefit from
this War Finance corporation. The
Farmer or the Banker?
Still Kellogg claims to be a friend
OF the farmer.
No, my friends, if the farmers shall
get any help it must be from some
that are not in close touch with the
big fellows. We must cast our bal
lots for those that represent the COM
mon people. Let us cast our ballots
for Magnus Johnson, DR.. Shipstead,
Rev. Kvale and the others on the
Farmer-Labor tickets. 49,. ~
In 1920 there were 118,7W farms
in Minnesota that were operated by
their owners and 3s,463 that were
farmed by renters. Il am no seeress
but feel confident that the next cen
sus taken in the state Of Minnesota
will see an alarming increase in farm
tenantry. The land boom and also the
defation Of farm products will have
done their work. B Farmers cannot pay
when interest and payments come due
and foreclosure results. And you have
another landless farmer. :5S. s Ssz 81
In Illinois 40 per cent OF the farm
ers are tenants. Is Minnesota head

Editors note-1nasmuch as there
is but one county commissioner who
was nominated for re1 lection this

reflect on Com. Ole s. Reigstad OF the
Second District. In fairness to him
we would state that County Ditch No.
81 was established, contract let and
construction begun before Mr. Reig-
stad became commissioner this last
time. Also that commissioners Reig-
stad and Johnson are on record as vot-
ing against the final acceptance OF
this ditch. We are informed that it is
the intention that the additional sum
spent on the ditch is to be repaid to
the general fund from an additional
assessment. 49,: s.tn ~ ~:
