OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS ® IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE WHO STORES IT. = The federal reserve board, through its governor, has made a blunt statement to this effect. “We won’t lend any: money to farmers to help them carry their wheat until next spring, when the increased demand will naturally bring better prices, but we will lend them money to help move the crop to market. We ‘won’t help any agricultural industry hold its products for price raiges.” .And where will the market be, if_you .please, w}xen the grain is moved? Will gll the wheat immediately go into _wheat, which everyone knows there will 'be for many months, t or will it go into huge terminal elevators to be held by commission grain men who have never spent a cent or worked a day to produce it? Where does it actually go? It goes into the hands _of large ‘grain commission and elevator companies to be held until the present supply is exhausted and more most be pro- vided to meet the demand of the consumer, and then up go the prices, but not for the farmer’s benefit, he has had to get .rid of his wheat at the low prices long before. The ¢ommission man gets it. The real issue we are driving at is, where does the com- mission man and the terminal elevator man get his money to carry the wheat? From exactly the same source as the farmer would get it if he were permitted to borrow it. It seems to make a big difference though to the federal reserve board who ‘borrows the money.. The man who sweats to grow the wheat, cannot get it to help carry the sur] lus until it is needed by the consumer, but the middleman can. This is one of the real grievances of the farmer today, and will continue to be until either the financiers see the fallacy of their principle, or until the farmer gets so mad that he will suddenly waken up the financier to the fact that he may have to go hungry himself when the farmer gets tired growing wheat at a loss for the other fellow to eat and make a profit on. ; g REGISTER OCTOBER 26TH. ¢ Next Tuesday 48 registration day. The Tuesday following s election day. The largest vote ever polled in this country will‘be polled Tuesday, November 2. Women have striven for decades to get the franchise. It has been granted them. Many hard things have been said about men who did notfexercise their right of franchise. Will women leave themselvéd open to the .same criticism? Apparently some are going to. to take little or no interest in the elections of*November 2. Many women, in fact the majority of them, are going to do their duty., They are going to vote themselves and they are trying .to get the women of their community to vote and to understand ‘what they are voting for. Registration day will show fairly well how many women in Bemidji are going to vote. Those who register will in all “probability vote. Those who do not register should be hunted up between registration day and election day and urged to vote. This would naturally be the work of League of Women ‘Voters and undoubtedly they will do it. It will greatly facili- tate the voting if all register next Tuesday. The lists will then be almost complete and there will be less to do on election day. Be sure to register October 26. O JUDGE DIBELL'S RECORD GOOD. . Judge Homer B. Dibell, associate justice of the supreme court, will be a candidate for re-election on November 2. Under ‘the present law candidates appear near the bottom of the state white ballot without party designation, The law contemplates that the courts shall keep aloof from politics and for many years it has been the settled policy of the people to choose judges with reference to their fitness and not because of their political views. Judge Dibell has served for years on the supreme court and before that had fifteen years’ experience on the district ibench. No other candidate has such qualifications. Judge Dibell should be returned to his post and a vote to send him back will help maintain the integrity and keep up ‘the standard of the supreme court. - FROM THE PIONEER TWENTY YEARS AGO }l - -The people of the county shouldinot neglect comnion sense for politics -on election day. . They should not fail to vote on the proposition to bond the county for $10,000 to build a'mew court house. The county finances are in good shape, and it is entitled to a better building than the present one. “% < Col. A. A. Harris, of Duluth, will tell why he is no longer a democrat, at the city h.lll in Bemidji Saturday evening, November 3rd. Col. Harris has been a life long democrat. He has just returned from Kansas where, under the employ of the republican national committee, he has been helping to reedem the sunflower state from democratic control. A big meeting is planned for.
