COMMITTEE OF ACTION GETS
INTO ACTION NEAR DACMAR

slickers always do, they kept on
Fostering him until they got him
to sign some papers of which he
says, 81 did not fully understand"
Two days later the slickers were
back again with a couple of farm
ers as prospective buyers. They
helped themselves to parts of the
tractor which were stored away
in the shack, and started off with
the tractor, going north.
Bill then realized that he was
going to lose his tractor and he
would have no way of putting il
his crop. He notified the Coun-
Gil Of Action of the United Farm
ers League that someone was get
ting away with his tractor.
In remarkably short time this
Council of Action got into action
and brought results. At the time
the tractor had moved eight miles
it was stopped by bunch of the
farmers and taken to Chris Hell
berg's yard where it was left over
night. The collectors beat it back
to GrehOra.
Decorated with a red flag the
tractor was taken back home next
morning by Bill Place. That is
the kind of results you get when
you have a Council of Action
ready to act.

A SMACK IN The FACE BY
JACK BENNETT AND CO.

while they work they must be paid
40 cents per hour as new relief
while they are doing the work.
In this manner a lot of work
could be done in the county with
out trouble and without costing
the county a penny. The amount
of hours person would be en-
titled to work could be regulated
by the amount of relief he needed
or had received the month before.
No doubt the county could get
more relief money than it is now
getting, which would then mean
more work in the county without
cost to the county, if it was prop
erly handled.
The 40 cents per hour should be
paid in cash, and there are many
good reasons for it. If l have the
cash l can buy more groceries, but
groceries are not the only things
need and others are fixed the
same as l am. The government

FROID FARMER
TAKES OWN LIFE

E. B. Bolen, pioneer farmer liv-
ing two and a half miles northeast
of Froid, committed suicide by
shooting himself thru the head
with .38 calibre revolver at the
farm home of John Lamar, a
bachelor, about two miles east of
Froid. Mr.. Bolen had been stay
ing there during the winter.
Shortly before M. Bolen took his
life he told Mr.. Lamar that he
was going outside for a short time.
Some time later Mr.. La Mar went
to several of the farm buildings
and In the barn he found the man
on pile of hay. He died within
few hours.
DIR. F. L. Darland and others
from Froid were summoned and
the coroner of Roosevelt county
was notified.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bolen left here late
in the fall of 1881 for his bow
hood home in Virginia, taking with
them their livestock, some farm
equipment and household effects

ley, N. D., and there are tw
brothers and two sisters in tn

(BY HANS RASMUSSEN

That the Jack Bennett relief
committee is handling the relief
funds in the most ignorant and
stubborn way that it could be
handled is plainly shown by the
result they are getting.
Sitting on top of the pile, MAX
ing the relief into chain gang
proposition and whipping the peo-
pie into line is the attitude this
committee is taking, and the result
Is that people all over the county
have gone on strike and no work
has been done outside of the city
of Plentywood.
when a committee, representing
the people from all over the coun-
ty, brought a fair offer before
Jack Bennett and his yes-men,
they were sneered at and ignored.
Now let us take a second look at
this proposition.
The demand was, that a person
working off his relief should be
paid at the rate of 80 cents per
hour, the 40 cents to 20 off on re-
lief already received, 40 cents to
be paid in cash as new relief, and
10 cents in cash per hour for each
horse.
The 80 cents per hour probably
makes it a little confusing, but SO
cents is not what a person is get
ting, he is only getting 40 cents
per hour while working. That q
person should go out and work fol
the relief he received during the
winter withiut getting paid while
working is not only unreasonable
but is also forced labor and is I'M
lawful.
| When people are poor they cal
not afford to give away their la
Dor power without getting poiC
while working. For that reason
the people thruout the county hav,
taken the stand that they are will
ling to work, but in order to liv

DOOLEY SCHOOL
BOARD REFUSES
TO SHOW BOOKS

School district records and books
are public records and supposed to
be open for inspection at any time.
That is the law and general rule
but not so in our little town of
DOoley. There the school board
makes their own rules, and if the
rest of the people don't like it
they can lump it.
There the school board high-hats
the people,, sits on top of the
books and refuses anybody taking
a look at them, claiming that look
ing is not advisable and will only
create trouble. Trouble for The
school board of course. Trouble is
what that board don't want, but
trouble is what it is creating,

In the U. S. 81 per cent of the

prosperity. 1t means only that
these wage cuts give the wage
earners less to buy with. Cutting
salaries is like taking water away
