OF course anyone who had lived there
would know.
Gov. Murray kept oil people from
selling crude oil for less than $l.00 per
barrel, which was sensible. Would
that several Of the governors would
get together and dress up and play
Gov. Murray and forbid anyone to sell
cream for less than 28c per lb. butter
fat.
So why not have mercy on the ones
who can't pay for tag till fall. It's
pretty hard to get along at all with
butterfat 12c in the small towns.
The Grass Lake plan seems to be
another shot heard around the world.
This, with the tax payer association
activity, is the beginning of an Amer
lean movement to try to get square
deal for the common people. Be glad
it is a safe and sensible movement
and not the wild and woolly way they
adopted in Russia. The English YER
sion was when the people forced King
John to sign the Magma Charta.
Wish the Grass Lake board could
sit up another night and get us bet
ter price for our machinery.
Suppose We call this for the present
the Grass Lake plan. What might
this movement accomplish? When
any industry was out of line with its
prices, the government could start
making that product, some Of the
wealth which is not in proper use
could be conscripted and bulletin
boards placed in towns and cities so
that the public could see what raw
materials cost and let them judge as
whether they were charged more than
fair profit.
For instance. hides this spring were
lc per ID. and leather 55c per ID.
Wheat is less than 1c per h.. but just
wash and grind it and this whole
wheat sells fc- 81 per lb.
Abraham Lincoln might have said,
"A liltle Grass Lake plan now and
then is relished by the best of men,
How can the people expect the
schools to be kept up when they can't
pay their taxes? These common peo-
pie would pay their taxes If they
could. Some of the rich try to dodge
taxes. or raise their prices so that the
other fellow pays them. Perusing
Shakespeare they read: ITO thine own
self be true, and it shall follow as the
night the day, the great American
public shall all the taxes pay"
Perhaps there is too large a per-
centage of lawyers in our representa-.
tive government.
A business man speaking of this
picked up card of one of the partie;
and checked off just half Of those or
the party ticket as lawyers. No doubt
lawyers as a class are about the same
as other people and should have Their
share, but other classes should have
their share, too.
If there were less law and NOR
common sense We would be better off
The lawmakers have built up law or
law, building tower of Babel leading
! to confusion.

A PLAN FOR LICENSES
Wilton, N. D..
June 7, 1882.

June 7, 1882.
Editor, Tribune:
In regard to the automobile license
tags which are still delinquent, why
not find way to let these run over
till the first of October with the PEN
atty up to June added.
Some have perhaps bought a Ii
cense for one car or truck and haven't
money for the other.
Give them note to sign with a
Buffalo sticker for the windshield, not
that We buffaloed the licensing de-
partment but We, like the buffalo,
have to live off of what grows.
Or give them a moratorium till fall.
If you arrest some one and he has not
the money to buy his license wouldn't
that be Debtors Prison revived? He
couldn't settle that at so much a
day like a fine!
Mayor Cermack wouldn't charge
people for license last winter when
they sold apples, etc, on the streets to
make living. a man told me to whom
I lent a dollar to buy something to
SELL He seemed honest and had lived
in Minot for a while, though l didn't
know that would make one honest

WHERE CHARITY BEGINS
Kintyre, N. D.,
June 10, 1882.

Editor, Tribune:
Charity should begin at home is a
good old adage To that might be
added. Consistency should begin in
little things" Be consistent in little
things and Ill set you to rule over
bigger things, says the Lord.
We preach economy and diSarma-
ment but when it comes to disbanding
Fort Lincoln at Bismarck our editor
balks. Why? So do many other
worthy citizens of our good state. If
we want lower taxes and world peace
let us begin at Bismarck. Let Fl. Lin
coin be abandoned. Why should it
exist anyway? We voted the capital
to remain at Bismarck. A capital is
a necessity. 1t should be there. FIT.
Lincoln was a necessity III frontier
days but now is nothing but blot on
free state in free union of free
men and women. What profiteth a
man If he gains the whole world but
Injuries his soul?

Stain on Lenin

This acquaintance it is true not personal one, but
based exchange of letters But this acquaintance
ship made unforgettabe impression upon which has
not left during the whole of my Party activity At that
time living in Punishment in Siberia. Acquaintance
with the revolutionary activity of Lenn at the end of the

had to do with quite exceptional person. in him at
that time not the simple leader of Party but its actual
founder for he alone understood the inner nature and
qurements Of Party. When | compared him with the
other leaders of Party it always appeared to
Lenins colaborators- Marov, Axerod and
others-stood quite head below him. it, in comparison
with them, he not simply of the leaders, but lead
of higher type, eagle who stranger to all fear and
would couageousy lead the Party along the unknown paths
of the Russian revolutionary movement
This impression penetrated deeply into my soul that
felt the necessity to write to friend of mine who
at that time in exile in order to obtain his opinion After
some time-at that time already in Punishment in
Siberia towards the end of 1901 received the en-
thusiastc reply of my friend and simple, moving letter
from Lenn to whom my friend had given my letter to read
Lenin's letter comparatively short, but it gave
bold fearless criticism of the practice of Party and
surprisingly clear and compact presentation of the whole
plan OF work for the next period Only Lenn capable
of writing simply and clearly compactly and boldly

only speaks to the reader but also hits the bulls eye This
simple letter increased my conviction that before us

and suggestions on what further steps the coun-
Gil should take, the first meeting was adjourned.
On the day following the meeting of the
Unemployed Council, Comrade Kairsky' and |
went to Lenin to report to him what we had done
to organize the Unemployed Council vladimir
Ilyich heard what we had to say, and then said
he had some doubts as to whether the Unem-
ployed Council alone could fulfil its programme
by its own efforts.
The Employed Workers Must eB Drawn Into.
the Struggles of the Unemployed.
Through this organization alone" said
Lenin, you cannot influence the bourgeoisie;
you will not be strong enough, and the unem-
ployed workers themselves will not be able to
develop this work on a broad proletarian class
basis. Therefore you must Immediately extend
the Unemployed Council to include representa-
tives of those employed in all the factories and
mills Of st. Petersburg.
"You must now begin to agitate in the factories
and mills for this purpose and Immediately
arrange for the election of these representatives.
The Unemployed Council must consist not only
Of 80 representatives of the unemployed, but of
100 or $50 representatives from all districts from
all the factories and mills. This will provide the
unemployed with a genuine proletarian leading
body which will really be able to exert pressure
successfully on the City DIrma and on the
bourgeosie generally"
Delegates elected by the unemployed at general
meetings, one for every $50 workers, and from
factories and mill districts constituted the dis
trict councils

1t was only recently that the Petro-
grad report of the delegation from
the Donetz workers exposed the gen.
tlemen coal mine proprietors of the
Donetz, who are criminally disorgan-
iztng production, who are stopping
1t, who to safeguard their divine"
right to enormous profits are con-
dernning the workers to unemploy-
ment, the country to hunger, indus
try to a crisis because of the lack of
coal.
Today we received a telegram in
forming us of another equally brazen
attempt of criminal group of coal
mine proprietors in another part of
Russia. Here is the telegram sent to
the Soviet of Workers and Soldiers
Deputies and to three Ministers:
1.-THE Soviet of Soldiers Deputies
and the union of employees in Mix
nelson's Sudzhensk mines on May IL
removed nine persons from the ad-
ministration of the mines because of
their criminal and provoking man
ner of managing the business, which
might have led to the shutting down
Of the mines. The management has
placed in the hands of a council of
engineers a technical council under
the direct control of the Soviet of
Workers and Soldiers Deputies. A
commission of the leading Sudzhensk
organizations has, upon investigation,
approved our decision.
''Mikhelson, in a telegram dated
May "a, refused to settle with the
workers; we demand complete restor-
alton; restoration is impossible;
q the meaning is not clear. Does
the telegram aver. that, once the
mines are shut down, it would be
difficult to start again?) the mines
are threatened with anarchy, the
workers with misery. Take inme-
date measures by sending half
million rubles, determine the fate of
the mines, confiscate them. The
mines are working for national de-
Tense, the daily output is $4,000
poods-stoppage may imperil the
movement of trains, the functioning
of factories. So far the work is nor
NAL. Wages for March and April
have not been fully paid. (SigneO
Soviet Of Workers and Soldiers
Deputies, and the Union of En-
ployes."

ting expression than the one used by

The Executive Committee consisted Of three
Representatives from every district council three
representatives from the unemployed, and three
from the employed. The Executive Commit
ptee was to ke- in touch with the Duna bodies.
All questions which were TO be raised for dis

taken up by the Executive Committee which
was empowered to carry out the general decisions

The Unemployed Attack the St. Petersburg
City Dums
Under the direct leadership of the Bolshevik
Party, the st. Petersburg Unemployed Council
began to prepare for the first offensive on the
st. Petersburg City Duna.
A petition to the st. Petersburg City Duma
was drafted by the Unemployed Council, couched
i'll the most forceful Bolshevik- proletarian terms
The petition was discussed by the Unemployed
Council, adopted and sent to all the factories
and mills of st. Petersburg and it's vicinitieS to
be discussed by the workers and to get their
signatures to it. OF course, the discussion of our
petition in the factories was carried on at the
general factory meetings. But in addition, it
was discussed in our proletarian press, except in
the paper under the control of the Mensheviks.
The Menshevks q will prove this later on)
opposed the Unemployed Council most energetic
ally and hindered our work in organizing the
unemployed at every step. Our Council del
egates were to insist on reading the petition at
the meeting Of the City Duma before vote was
called for This petition read as follows

families are now without bread. The workers
do not want charity, or dOles. We demand
work. The masters refuse TO give work.

Lenin's Simplicity
His knowledge
of the Lumber
Industry
By NJ. CORK.

In the Autumn of 1918 asked q
worker from Sormova, Dmitry Paw
low, what he thought was Lenin's
most striking feature? He answered,
Simplicity. He is as simple as truth
itself" He said this as though it had
been thought out and decided long
ago. 1t is well known that ones
Severest critics are those who work
under one.
Lenin's chauffeur, Gill, a man of
great experience, said, 'Lenin is
quite unique. There are no others
like him Once I was driving him
along Myasnitsky st. when the traf-
fic was very heavy. I hardly moved
forward. I was afraid of the car
getting smashed and was sounding
the horn, feeling very worried. He
opened the door, reached me by
standing on the footboard, mean
while running the risk Of being
knocked down, and urged me to go
forward. ''Don't get worried, Gill,
go on like every one else. I am an
old chauffer. I know that nobody
else would do that"
It would be difficult to make the
reader realize how easily and natur-
ally all his impressions flowed in the
same channel With the invariabiity
of a compassionate his thoughts
turned in the direction of the class
interests Of the workers. One of our
free evenings in London small COM
pany of us went to the Music HALF
"a democratic theatre
| " I1yitch laughed gaily and infec-
tioUG'v at the clowns and comedians
and looked indifferently at the rest
He paid especial attention to the
Undertaking by the workers Of Bri-
fish Columbia.
The little scene at the back showed
a forest camp and on the ground in
front two young fellows hewed thru
the trunk Of tree about a metre in
thickness in the course of minute
''That's for the public, of course, ="
said Ilyitch. ''They couldn't work as
quickly as that in reality. But ap-
parently they use hatchets there also,
and cut up a lot of wood into useless
chips. There's English civilization
for you'll" He began to speak about
the anarchy in production under
capitalism, the great percentage of
