The tone qual- fly was excellent and tho roproduc- ion was a faithful one. T. might have been a music roll, for all we know. The lower, as well as the higher registered were reproduced in an excellent manner and as the strings were struck the tone record ed and held, dying out naturally, as any well bred tone should.

GOV. SORLIE OF
N. OAK. SPEAKS
FOR WHEAT POOL

The following statement for pub
LEGATION was received by the North
Dakota Wheat Growers Association,
from Governor A. G. Sorlie, in re-
Spouse to a letter asking the Gov
eTnor's attitude towards Commodity
Cooperative Wheat Marketing.
The statement is given in full:
"The Wheat-growing industry
needs proper marketing facilities the
same as other industries have for the
marketing of their commodities. 9th
er industries not only sell what their
people want but they create a de-
mand for their particular commodi-
ties. Through proper cooperative or
CARNATIONS a demand for wheat flour
can be created the same as the Cali
fOrnia raisin growers have created
a demand for their product, which
will make it possible to dispose of
the entire export surplus of wheat.
Whatever export surplus remained on
hand could then be handled in some
way similar to that employed by the
steel industry or the farm machine
~ industry. These two great indus
tries are so well organized that they
can sell their surplus stock to for
eign countries without in any way
disturbing their home market"
Since the wheat-growing industry
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1926-11-12

covers such a vast territory the pro-
ducers could not themselves well
handle their product, but through a
Cooperative Wheat Growers Associ-
alton, functioning in the same way
these other industries function, | be-
lieve it would be possible for them
to dispose of their surplus output.
When the surplus output, or the ex-
port surplus, can be taken care of,
the home market will regulate itself
to a great extent; at least to the ex-
tent that the cost of production can
be made from the wheat"
eve cannot look for much assist
ance from Washington in working
out our agricultural problems, but
the agricultural industry should be
able to work out its own problems,
so it is up to the wheat-grOwers to
work together through some cooper
ative agency, such as the North Da-
kota Wheat Growers Association"
tNorth Dakota is favored in hav-
ing monopoly on hard spring wheat
and we should be in a position to
get this hard spring wheat on the
market and create a widespread de-
mand for the superior flour that is
manufactured from our hard spring
wheat. We are also fortunate in
having a Terminal Grain Exchange
fully equipped to put out this kind
of wheat blended ready for milling
in any part of the United States east
! of US. 1t will be through the assist
ance of such organizations as the
North Dakota Wheat Growers Asso-
citation that we may expect any hell
in working this problem out, so lei
US all get busy so that we may lOol
forward to the time when we car
sell our wheat output for wheat it is
by creating a market for our superior
kind of four made from our higl
protein hard spring wheat"
Signed: A. G. SORLIE,
Governor.

Rail Profits Soar

ceeded by both September and Octo-
ber." The August profit was at the
annual rate of 6.2a6 on the a e
making valuation.
How railroad workers are cooper
ating to make these tremendous prof
its possible is shown in the fact that
while railroad receipts have increased
by 189,562,410 railroad expenses have
increased by only $82,934,128. The
ratio of expenses to revenues has
fallen from 1880 to 1880.
Labor Efficiency Swells Gains
Several roads are apparently secur-
ing large profits as a result of the in
creased efficiency of their shop fore
es. Santa Fe, with an increase of
about $8,600,O0O in business, has re-
duced the cost of equipment mainten-
ance by about 81 Az, 900. Baltimore
& Ohio, with an increase of more than
S10,000,000 in business is spending no
more for maintenance of equipment
than in 1925. And Norfolk & West

its, has handled S10,O0O,0OO or 1870

"HONEST" CAMPAIGN MILLIONS

The Chicago Tribune, discussing the Illinois
Senatorial campaign, editorially says:
Large amounts of money can be spent
honestly in campaign. In contested
election, particularly in primary eec-
ton, in a large state, it is difficult to win
without a large amount of money. A
large campaign fund in itself is not an
Indictment of the candidate for whom it
is spent. Some people think or pretend
to think it is. 1t is not the size but the
source of Smiths fund which proves him
unfit for the votes of the people who
have any regard for public recttude.
This is the unconscious proof of the hollowness
of political democracy under our economic class
division
Only those can win elections in large state,
who have large purses.
1t is at last frankly admitted that public offices
are the prizes for the rich to contend for, by thu
HONEST expenditure of immense campaign
funds
The poor are represented in such democrat!
by the fact that they take the money!

STRANGE BEDFELLOWS

Politics makes strange bedfellows"
The above truism never better demonstrat-
ed than in the past election.
In State politics, Wheeler along with Walsh.
was out campaigning with and for ex-Judge Com
er and ex-senator Myers. Conner opposed Wheel
er for Governor in 1920 when he was elected judge
of this district on the republican ticket after he
was defeated for the nomination on the democrat
ic ticket. Sen. Myers opposed Wheeler, the can
didate for Governor on the democratic ticket regu-
larly nominated in the primaries in 1920, even
taking the stump and campaigning for the re-
publican nominee, supported and elected by the
sush fund of the Anaconda company. Joe Dixon,
when he denounced Wheeler as a traitor advised
all good democrats it was their patriotic duty to
vote for the republican nominee
But this year both these men were travelling
with Wheeler, who was advising the citizens of
the State to vote for them.

the devil weep. No wonder the democrats were

The Ku Kluxers and a gang of Knight of Col
umbus members formed alliance against the
Farmer-Labor party Both appealed to the pa
triotism of the voters to remove the radicals The
Kluxers imported a foreigner named McLain to
speak for them: but he beat it after publicly
insulting Judge BOurquin, as wisdom dictated.
The Kluxers sent out two letters that have come
to the attention of the Producers News-one to
the Anglo Saxon protestants, showing that some
of the candidates on the farmer-labor ticket had
ROmanish connections and therefore dan
gerous; the other to Americans or American born
calling attention to the Scandinavian candidates
the farmer-labOr ticket, and urging the electors
to vote the republican ticket straight, as being
the American ticket.
On the republican ticket there were three can
didates of the Roman Catholic religious faith
John Palubicld, candidate for county treasurer;
Ernie Ryan, candidate for clerk & recorder; and
John HOLMAN, candidate for justice of the peace.
The rest of the republican ticket were kluxers or

the K C.s and voted against the Catholics almost
to a man.
