BY RODNEY BUTCHER

Washington, Oct. 25.-Here in
the effete east, where almost any
one from west of Chicago is re-
garded as radical, many persons
regard Senator Burton X Wheeler
of Montana as radical who will
bear watching.
Especially in the SNUG national
capital, it is felt that if Wheeler
isn't a radical there isn't one in the
Senate.
But out in Montana, one learns
with astonishment, Wheeler is be-
ing panned as reactionary. Some
of the voters out there are much
more radical t!.an Wheeler and if
there were enough of them, as there
aren't, Wheeler might be defeated
in his campaign for rejection next
year.
The Wheeler feeling centers
in Sheridan county, in the northeast
section of Montana, along the Cana
dian border and North Dakota.
Experts say that you can't find q
more radical section in the country
than Sheridan county. The folks
out there boast o. it, too. And it's
peculiar in more ways than that.
By electing farmer-labor county
tickets each year, these radicals
control the county. From all re-
ports they do good job or rum
ming it. They drov a small-time
crooked regime out Of office when
they stepped in.
Sheridan is altogether a farm
county and is run in the interests
Of the farmer. The state law pre-
vents any chang in the form Of
county government, but the Sheri-
danites don't mind that. They have
just the kind of a government they
want.
The dominant force in Sheridan
county is the United Farmers, a
secret agrarian organization. which
has also made heatway in Wash
ington stat, Minnesota an1 North
Dakota. This group is organized
both for economic and political
action. It's numbers and member
ship lists are kept secret~and when
it endorses a candidate for office
the fact is kept secret so that if
perchance it takes a political lick
ing the. fact remains unknown.
Meanwhile, it arrange with local
merchants to give all card-carrying
members a discount when they
come to town for purchases.

Let North Dakota Climb
(MinneapOliS .TollrnaN


Add to the other evidence of North Dakota
comeback, the testimony of Rex E. Willard,
farm economist of the North Dakota state agri-
cultural college.
In Minneapolis to testify at the Interstate
Commerce Commissions grain rate hearing.
Mr.. Willard made the point that the North Da-
kota farmer, emerging from the slough of de-
preston, and with his feet once more on the
upgrade, is manifesting an ability to elmo
that grade, if the powers that rule will only re-
frain from tripping him.
Give him his chance, and this agricultural
lists return up the hill to prosperity will pro-
coed without interruption. Trip him now with
higher freight rates, which must be paid out
Of the margin of profit on his produce, and he
may 60 tumbling back.
Mr. Wizards stand is sound, his point well
taken. With the farming once more looking
up, but with the farmer needing encouragement
and in no condition to bear new load of dis
enlargement, there could be no worse time than
the present, or the near future, to increase
freight charges on grain in the Dakotas and
Minnesota.
Here is what the North Dakota farmer, by
his own hard work, is just now accomplishing,
according to Mr. Willard:
The volume Of farm production per man
has been increased at least twenty per cent,
in the last ten years. through better or
ganization of the farm business, use of
more labor-saving machinery, and elimina-
ton of waste.
There are fewer bank failures than
around 1923.
Deposits in state banks have held fairly
constant now for two or three years.
The number of farm foreclosures has
been greatly reduced.
Land sales for delinquent taxes in 1926
were less than half the total for 1923.
The number Of farm bankruptcies has
decreased by more than half since 1924.
Here, then, are all the symptoms of a North
Dakota steadily and surely convalescing from
9 serious agricultural depression. North Da-
kota now pleads that this convalescence be not
menaced by new freight rate burdens.
And North DakQta's plea should be Needed
Here is large territory, which, when it re-
gains completely the prosperity to which it is
entitled, will furnish the railroads, in increased
business. ten dollars Of net revenues for every
dollar that could be squeezed out Of agriculture
by any increase in rates.
