rights. Neither would we eouivocate
upon the principle that when human
rights and property rights come in
conflict then human rights have pre-
cedence in the thinking and action
of good Democrats. More than 100
years after Thomas Jefferson's day,
out Of our own middlewest came VIII
liam Jennings Bryan, another great
Democrat. In new terminology he
sounded in great Democratic gath
ering that first principle of true De-
mocracy, when he said, 'Thou shalt
not cruelty mankind upon q cross Of
gold; thou shalt not press down upon
the brow Of labor this crown Of
thorns."
Proud OF Democratic Humanism
We recall with pride the humanism
which ran throughout all the spoken
and printed thought Of that great
Democrat, Woodrow Wilson. And, in
this day, we thrill again to that old
principle Of Democracy as 1t was
voiced by Democracy's greatest lead
er Of this day. President Franklin De-
lano Roosevelt, when, In an interview
touching the principles Of the recent
" organized American Liberty league,
he said: Thou shalt love thy neigh
Dor as thyself."
Despite the sometime vicissitudes Of
selfish and unfortunate leadership this
fundamental principle Of Democracy
that human rights transcend all other
rights has endured from the day Of
Thomas Jefferson to the day Of Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt. It is today the
hope Of nation beset by grave prob
lens Of social and economic malad-
justment. They are to large extent
the price Of the pace Of progress.
They are problems which have been
superimposed upon q North Dakota

rivers. These rivers were the Red
the Sheyenne, the James, the Mouse
and the Missouri. Since that time
5000 Of these lakes have disappeared
In the current season and for several
years past four Of these rivers have
been intermittent. The Missouri has
been North Dakota's only con-
slant river. Under these conditions
the flood waters OF the Missouri
river become one Of the last unex-
plotted resources of this state. Diver
sion Of these flood waters must be
realized II under present conditions
the threat Of the desert shall be re-
moved from more than one-third Of
the area Of North Dakota. It is &C.
tual today under present conditions.
The state cannot do this alone. It
must have assistance from q national
government which continues to give
the most careful study and investiga-
ton to this great problem.
Must Have Soil Survey
North Dakota too must have = soil
survey and land classification to end
much tragic futility in large areas Of
this state where because of limited
rainfall and unfavorable soil condi-
tions hundreds Of our people are living
upon poverty level. An intelligent
land use program Is vital to the fu-
ture welfare Of our people and to the
development OF our state. This plan
will further be discussed and elabor-
ated throughout the Democratic cam
paign as it has been practically dem
onstrated In considerable areas Of
North Dakota.
Behind our vexed politics, behind
much Of our physical distress In this
state Is the fact that at this time per-
haps 70 per cent OF our people are
living upon poverty level. The pow
erty level Of living Is that level Of
living which does not provide q mini
mum Of the necessities for health and
decency. There is an actual yard
stick for measuring It. That yard
stick is income. The federal depart
ment Of agriculture declares that to
i've upon q poverty level q farm fam
ily Of five must have an income Of at
least $1,000 year. OF this amount
$500 may be In the products Of the
farm, milk, eggs, beef, pork, etc. Yet
the same department Of agriculture
shows that In 1923 more than so per
cent Of the people upon North Da-
kota farms in the western part Of this
state did not have q cash income Of
$500 q year. This means that so per
cent Of our people are living upon an
extreme poverty level, for conditions
have rather aggravated than improv-
ed since 1928. Poverty Is the most
ancient tragedy Of humankind. The
difficulty Of escape from It Is well
known and demonstrated. In this
situation Is the challenge Of today for
our leaders Of thought and action. To
combat this situation we must have
vision, we must have planning, we
must have the cooperation Of all our
people.
Defines Poverty Level
Three levels Of living are defined
by the sociologists under the Ameri-
can standard. They are the poverty
level, the comfort level and the riches
level. The comfort level Of living Is
that level which lies between riches
and poverty. To enjoy it the cash In
come on the farm for the average
family of five should be at least -, 400
a year. In the town and city it should
be at least $4,000 q year. The riches
level OF living Is said to begin with

burdened by drouth and crop fail
ure. In this situation in North Da.
kota we have a challenge to our visior
and our leadership as well as chal-
lenge to the cooperation we may and
must give to the most human national
administration we have ever had.
Would Shun Demagoguery
Let us be constructive. Let us face
1acts. Let us shun demagoguery. AS
Democrats let us strive to serve the
people Of our state In q crisis in its
economic history. And in its further
development along those lines direct
ed by the experience Of North Da-
kota just emerging from the pioneer
era into that period OF greater destiny.
There are two North Dakotas to-
day. There Is the North Dakota Of
this rich Red River valley where the
grain tanks are back on the highway.
where the elevators are open until
long after midnight and where the
worlds choicest milling wheat is be-
ing marketed at q price Of more than
500 = bushel. Then, there Is the
North Dakota which begins from six
to 60 miles west Of the valley, where
in 70 per cent Of our entire area our
people have neither feed for livestock
nor crops Of any kind. Here we have
the North Dakota that you old tim
ers knew and loved, the North Da-
kota to which you gave your lives
and your labor, q land Of plenty.
There you have q North Dakota
where the spirit Of the people is to-
day about the last remaining asset
until good crops and bountiful har-
vests come again, which they will.
Pioneer Spirit Survives
In sections OF western North Da-
kota for five years our people have
lived upon the sheer spirit. It Is
that spirit which came up the old
Texas trail with the riders who trail
gra0ed the milling longhoFns from
the Texas panhandle to the sweet
grass reaches Of the greatest pasture
in world. Where more than so
per cent Of all the people are depend
ent upon grass. It Is the spirit Of
the old time lumberjack, that mighty
man who came to US from the woods
and rivers Of Minnesota, Michigan
and Wisconsin with two brawny fists,
high hope and enduring faith to toll
Il. the business Of building . new
empire In q prairie wilderness. It
Is the most inspiring thing In North
Dakota today for It meets the grim
challenge Of these unusual times
with that same hope and faith which
It. brought into this good broad land
trudging beside yoked oxen and q
prairie schooner. The pioneer spirit
today remains one Of North Dakota1
greatest assets.
Yet sheer spirit is not enough to
meet our problems. We must have
vision and planning, q experience
points the way and q the research
OF our learned men dictates the place
Of beginning for individual effort and
cooperative labor In meeting the
problems Of these times.
Two Main Objectives
There are two main objectives In
this state we must understand as we
move to help ourselves In this time
OF grave crisis. North Dakota must
have an Intelligent and planned wa
ter conservation program. When the
government survey Of this state was
made In the late 70's and early eos 1t

than one-half Of one per cent Of ou,

last level of living. I call your at.
tention to these levels so that you
may understand just how far the
great majority Of our people in North
Dakota are from either the comfort
or the riches levels Of living.
In our political thinking and action
In North Dakota too often poverty
has been exploited. It Is to end this
sort Of thing that constructive plan
ming and action must be directed to-
day.
Civil Service for Employees
In the Democratic platform you will
find a declaration that Democrats
favor civil service for state employees.
In this campaign we have more than
. political situation. We have q chal-
lenge to good citizenship to rebuke
political racketeering and the exploi-
tation Of thousands OF our people who
are compelled to live upon q poverty
level. do not know. who instituted
the 5 per cent political racket in this
state. I am pledging you here and
now that II ever I am elected gov
ernor Of North Dakota the s per cent
political racket will be ended. no mat
ter by whom it was conceived or by
whom 1t is attempted to be carried
out. No political striker has . right
to collect from the employees Of this
state 8 per cent Of their salaries for
the purpose Of building up q political
machine and articulating in our poll
tics those forces Of corruption whose
effects have often been demonstrated
in American politics. We do not need
political machines in North Dakota.
We do need unselfish leadership With
vision directed to our problems. Te
end political racketeering Democrats
must have the cooperation OF every
ht-thinking voter In this state and
1t Is being given as this campaign
progresses to q most satisfactory and
appreciated degree.
Favors Legal Nloeatorium
You will find in the Democratic
platform q declaration for q legal
moratorium. It means just what 1t
says. In these times Of emergency
no honest man or woman in this state
IN town or country must lose his or
her home. Where would our people
60? What would they do? Democrats
emphatically endorse and approve q
legal moratorium which shall assure
our people that those people shall not
lose their homes during these emer.
gency conditions. The need TOR .
moratorium was first sensed in this
state by the Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union. It>proposed q bill
which was passed by both houses Of
the legislature. Subsequently 1t was
vetoed by william LANCER as govern
OF. Later Mr.. Langer made the mora
torium . political football. and with
the cotfsummate ego that has ever
characterized the man he appeared
before the people as q saviour and
miracle man, when the fact Is the
principle came first from one Of our
largest co-operatives and which at
that time was displeasing to Mr..
LANCER, else he would not have vetoed
1t.
Relief Not Political Issue
The relief situation in this state Is
such that there are counties where 90
per cent Of our people must have re-
lief during the coming winter. note
