A MODEL TOWNSHIP

In New Jersey, 35 miles from
New York City. and in the COM
muting zone, lies Boonton town
ship, with a population of 10000.
1t is like other suburbs of the
great city in all respects but one.
which is indeed remarkable. With
good roads and schools, low as
sessed valuation and no bonded in
debtedness. its total tax budget was
only s5.4S5 in 1922, and is $4,331
for 1923, for acalaries, highways
and all ether township purposes.
This is less than one-half of l per
cent of its assessed valuation.
New York has other suburbs at
similar distances where taxes run
to 4 and per cent, thanks to poll
tical parasites who subsist off the
taxpayers.
But Boonton township is an ex-
ample Of what wise public econo-
mics can do to lower the cost of
home-owning with no decrease in
necessary functions of good gov.

ing within forty miles Of great

FARMING AND PROFITS

move easily and quietly into more
ideal conditions, or will entrenched
privilege fight every foot Of pro-
gress until only Il disastrous con-
vulsion results? 1t is up to our law
makers. The wars of the past have
resulted from the wiles of the pro-
'fiteers and from the inability of the
statesmen or politicians to meet the
emergencies. Such crisis have too
often been attended with violence.
Only once that recall was burd-
encd and oppressed portion of peo-
pie allowed to Fold up its tents as
the Arabs, and silently steal away"
as did the Israelites out of Egypt.
The overburdened farmer and the
underpaid laborer have no such op-
portunity. They are poor, disorgan-
lied and weak. The function of gov
eminent in human society is like the
function of man in the home. 1t is
to protect the weak and helpless and
to provide for those who cannot pro-
vide for themselves. Is it possible
that our government may be consti.
tuted that it is used to protect the
strong and the powerful in their en-
croachments on the weak? We need
patriotism and Christianity and
idealism to meet the emergency.

would be needed during the period
to match the federal aid, and to
carry out obligations undertaken in
the inspection of numerous herds of
dairy cattle.
The board asked that the appro-
priation of $4,000 for the last pi-
ennium be increased to $3.50, 900 for
the next biennium. The budget board
recommended $4,000 for the next
biennium.
ION motion of Senator Bond the
courtesy of the floor was extended
to Francis Murphy of Minot.
As it appears in the senate jour
nal it reads Just like any other Of
a dozen routine resolutions Of the
same nature which are introduced
every day in the senate. 1t went
through without dissenting vote.
But to those who were in the
senate on the last night of the ses-
sion of 1921 it meant far more. 1t
was on that night that the hatred
engendered of four years Of party
warfare came to head in open con-
flict 1t was on that night that the
real elemental man appeared and set
tied his quarrel with his bare hands
and last but not least it was the
night on which two Irishman stood
before a raging maj ority of the sea-
ate and divided that honorable body
as never before and in way that
will never be forgotten by any one
who saw the melodrama played there.
1t was on that night that the
Nonpartisan League majority of the
senate ordered the arrest of Francis
Murphy and John Sullivan, the two
men who had investigated leaders of
the league.
They, had been out-generalled,
when Murphy was released for a
moment, and realizing his oppor-
tunity walked out of the senate
chamber.
AS he left there rang out the de-
fiant shout Of John Sullivan who
declared 81 made up my mind be-
fore l came up here and all the
Nonpartisans from Hudson's Bay TO
He'll can't make me change it,"
Then pandemonium broke loose.
Nearly two years has passed.
Party quarrels have been forg ot-
ten, in a mutual desire to serve the
state.
So it is without a dissenting vote:
"On motion of Senator Bond the
courtesy of the floor was extended
to Francis Murphy of Minot."

BY Sen. o. C. Gross, Grant CO..

Is there not fallacy in the idea
that farmers may possibly be given
cost of production plus a reasonable
profit?
Commercial, manufacturing and
banking business may be conducted
on the plan of that idea. They are
players in the worlds financial game
md may each win profits but these
profits must of necessity come from
some source and that source can only
be productive labor. Such labor be-
ing the source of all wealth must
furnish the profits. In a game all
cannot be winners. If some win 9TH
ers must lose. The centralized win
ming business world cannot possibly
continue to make profits on the pres
ent scale and allow the farmer ecu al
change to get operating expenses
plus profits. 1t is a case of "They
will be damned if they do' and "They
will be damned if they DON'T. To
continue the game after the situa-
ton is clearly seen is to confess re-
lation to the pirates and robber
knights of the Middle Ages, and to
support such a system without real
honest effort to change it and re-
tain the name Christian is amusing.

ing of the ways. Shall we advance
toward peace or war? Will it be an
honest effort to correct what is

BILLS INTRODUCED

S. Z. 28, Gross, Grant (N)- Re-
duces the maximum levy possible in
counties for road building from four
totwo mills. The present law allows
a levy range from one quarter mill
to four mills and some counties says

is an act to empower cities, villages
or towns to purchase, sell, construct,
rent, lease, extend, connect or erect
high tension electric transmission
lines. The bill, according to the au-
thor "has nothing to do with Ed
Hughes, nor the fight over public
utilities at the state capital city. 1t
is designed to fit the needs of nine
or ten small places around Valley
City who receive electric current ov-
er high tension lines from the plant
at Valley City. Some Of these towns
and villages seek the right to pur-
chase the high tension lines within
their corporate limits and operate
the same as public owned enterpri-
ses, (Cities and Municipal Affairs.)
S. B. 20, Ployhar (by request)--
Provides for elections to empower
cities and villages to levy not to ex-
