Informative Articles
On page one Of today's Tribune Is
an important Informative article for
the readers Of this newspaper. It is
the first In . series contemplated
from time to time relative to the
state affairs Of North Dakota. The
Tribunes hope is to make these ar
ticles non-political in nature and
without bias.
This newspaper has for more than
sixty years sought to give construc-
tive help to the farmer and the city
folks alike. Within the last seventeen
months there has been an attempt on
the part Of clique Of politicians to
aTaign the farmers against the city
and to whip them into opposition
toward much the federal government
is trying to do for the rural section.
Rabble rousing self seekers are re-
sponsible for these attacks on all
relief moves.
Those on the hastings have re-
ferred without warrant OF truth to
North Dakota's daily newspapers as
being solely capitalistic in their ten
denotes and dominated by sinister In
terests 50 glibly referred to as big
Business" In fact, anyone who has
the temerity to challenge the lies and
SANDER of the politicians is referred
to Is the tool Of Wall Street or the
puppet OF those who would destroy
the farmer, tear the roof down about
his ears and throw him to the mer-
cies Of the wolves and the bears Of
predatory interests. Fair minded
farmers don't believe this. Too many,
uninformed. fall for the lies.
AS q matter Of fact, every daily
newspaper in the state, with one ex-
ception, Is locally owned and con-
trolled by residents Of North Dakota.
Their owners have their trials and
tribulations just as has the farmer,
but none OF the moratoria or other
alphabetical relief drives has brought
any added prosperity to the news
papers or their owners. Newspapers
and other businessmen must pay
their taxes-no five-year moratorium
shields them. It Is up to these same
owners to hustle the payroll each
week SO those employed can be fed
with the products Of the farm.
II all those businesses were driven
from the state which certain coterie
Of politicians damn in season and out
Of season, where would the markets
60? Where would the consumers be?
In other words, what really construc-
tive work has any Of the windjam-
mers on the stump done for the
North Dakota farmer-except farm
them consistently and persistently?
It is time for the farmers Of North
Dakota to challenge some Of the wild
statements, made viciously and with
out basis in fact, by those dema-
gogues who are always arousing class
prejudices and inflaming minds to
the end that they may more firmly
get their grip upon the great trust
funds Of the state and place plant
tools in high judicial places so that
their political control will neither be
disturbed nor challenged.
The farmers should appreciate that
all aids. justified or not as . matter
OF sound economy, have come from
the federal government under thu
Democratic banners. They (the farm
ersO owe little or no thanks to tn
state Republicans for any improve
ment In their status. It has been tn
federal. not the state government
which has been concerned with thet
lot.
It i Just Is well to keep the recor,
straight.
Read the articles. The facts can b
verified by going to the official roc
ord.
FOR the next few months the voter
Of the state should discriminate be
tween the impotency Of the state I'd
ministration to do anything for th
farmer and place the credit where
belongs and support the men who CO
ret the ear Of those IN power I
Washington.
Just remember the gift bag =
the hands Of the Democrats and vi
b for the next three years. Il woul
doubtless b . fine piece Of politics
strategy Tor the voters Of the stat
especially the farmers, Just to r
