TO AMEND SECTION 185 IN ARTICLE 12 as! amended’by ARTICLE 18 of amendments to read | as follows: “THE STATE, ANY COUNTY OR) CITY MAY MAKE INTERNAL IMPROVE-) MENTS AND MAY ENGAGE IN ANY INDUS- | TRY, ENTERPRISE OR BUSINESS NOT PRO-| HIBITED BY ARTICLE 20 OF THE CONSTITU- TION, BUT NEITHER THE STATE NOR ANY) POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF SHALL OTHERWISE LOAN OR GIVE ITS CREDIT OR MAKE DONATIONS TO OR IN AID OF ANY IN-| DIVIDUAL, ASSOCIATION OR CORPORATION, | EXCEPT FOR REASONABLE SUPPORT OF! THE POOR, NOR SUBSCRIBE TO OR BECOME, THE OWNER OF CAPITAL STOCK IN ANY} ASSOCIATION OR CORPORATION. * kOe The league’s proposed amendment eliminates; from Sec. 185, Article XII, the saving clause: “Nor, shall the state engage in any work of internal im-| provement unless authorized by a two-thirds vote} of the people.” | The proposed amendment would enable the} state, or any county, township, town or village to! “Joan, or give its credit or make donations to” any individual, association or corporation who might “be in favor with the current administration for the] furtherance of any scheme with which this fav- ored one might be obsessed. , The only business prohibited by Article XX of, the constitution is the manufacture of intoxicat-; ing liquor. : j Mr. Townley and his associates already are en- gaged in this state in the publication of news- papers, the organization of publishing companies, | the organization and operation of banks, in the} operation of mortgage and loan businesses, in the} operation of a chain of mercantile establishments | and in a half-dozen other more or less closely re-' lated enterprises. i With a state administration;and a legislature | favorable to Mr. Townley and his associates, there! is nothing to prevent their unloading, at their own price, any or all of these enterprises on the good} people of North Dakota. “The sky is the limit”) as to the amvint which the state may invest in; such schemes through the guaranteeing of bonds, | up to 100 per cent of the capitalized value. | Pe the best faith in the world in “surrendering”. to the state the various schemes with which they} Socialists, as they are, | have amused themselves. they do not believe in private initiative, in indiv- idualism or competition. They are advocates of a state monopoly not only of property but of all the! agencies by which property can be produced or | west front. Mr. Townley and fellow socialists might act in| plete failure has been the result. Townley is only trying to do the thing on a bigger scale. And it is for the farmer to say, ‘when he enters his voting booth November 5, whether Mr. Townley shall have his way, for it is the farmer’s property above everything else that Mr. Townley covets for his plan. Vote bonds, guarantee the investment in endless state-owned industries and: enterprises ; vote more bonds to pay for. the mistakes attend- ant upon political operation of these state-owned institutions; stagger along for a while under an overwhelming burden of debt—then the deluge. | That, in brief. is the Genesis of Townleyism. | Prevent it by voting no on all amendments. | NOT TOO LATE TO HELP. | If you are one of the many who found your| quota of the Fourth Liberty loan apportioned at jabout half what you expected to take, and who; decided to let well enough alone, and did not boost | your subscription at the time you signed up, and if i jyou have had little-prickings of consciende now , | and then as a result, cheer up—it isn’t yet too late! ‘for you to line up wtih the 100 per cent Americans | | who have gone the limit in this loag. soa | Just drop into your bank bright and early to-! imorrow morning, call for a subscription card, fill it ; out for the balance which you can, by squeezing a! little here and there, add to this great victory loan i | i |to your United States, make out a check for your! jinitial ten per cent payment, a=] walk out, feeling | \a whole lot better. . There's no need of stopping to argue with your- self. ’Tis true Burleigh county is safely over, but there, are other counties, right here in North Da-; kota, which for one reason cr another, have not. made'the grade. This is another occasion when| the strong must help the weak: We can’t usej|_ nother man’s patriotism as the gauge for our; own. Nothing but our very best will do in this! cr None but our own self knows what our best is. But we know, and if this loan should fail! and we should have to admit to ourselves that we! had helped bring a smile-to the kaiser’s face by: not doing OUR VERY BEST, it wouldn’t be ver; pleasant.

You're! ed (degree undetermin ed slightly, 1. a first class citizen who has a right to feel satis- fied with himself. But if you haven’t gone your' privates very limit—if you haven’t gone just as far as you; would go if the Hun was knocking at your very). door, reaching forth his fot] hand for your wife or your daughter or your sister or your: sweet-: heart, ready to impale your little boy or your little’ girl on his bayonet, then we don’t see how you are! going to enjoy any peaceful slumber tonight until! you have made up your mind that bright and early | rrivates: tomorrow morning you’re going to walk into your} Io bank and square your account with humanity. | ° |Sergeants: - Raymond E.

A SOP TO THE PEOPLE. copes ee If rulers of the German federated states are! seriously considering suffrage reforms as press| dispatches out of Germany ‘indicate, some real! light is thrown on the internal affairs of the em-! pire. | There is not a German ruler, from the kaiser; down to the most insignificant princeling who! would relinquish one iota of his power if HE WAS NOT FORCED TO IT. By throwing a sop of suffrage to the people! these rulers hope to override the discontent which is sweeping Germany from the Baltic to the Aus- trian border. They hope to gain the confidence of the people to counterbalance the internal revulsion caused by| the deflection of Bulgaria and the defeats on the! M To Me M They hope to save their tottering thrones from the wave of democracy which will be born of mili- tary defeat. 2 It is the beginning of the end, the downfall of | |militaristic autocracy in Germany and the Ger-! mani federated states. | acquired. They would reduce us all to a dead level. ‘They would subserve everything to the state. But, admitting that Mr. Townley and Mr. Bowen and Mr. LeSueur would feel no personal qualms of conscience during this unloading pro- cess, and conceding that North Dakota’s wealthy farmers can, for a time, bear the increased burden of taxes which would follow these wholesale bond issues, can even Mr Townley assure us that: the state can with even reasonable success operate a string of two or three dozen newspapers, or a flock of struggling banks, or a chain of stores? In the matter of reform, Mr. Townley is not a retailer. He believes‘in doing business on’a whole- sale basis. He would, over-night, convert our state from a prosperous commonwealth occupied by ani- bitious individuals into\a socialistic unit where private initiative will be abhorred and. personal incentive abolished, and where even the land we till will be occupied. by us only as tenants of the STATE. A : The short cut to socialism proposed by Mr. Townley is self-evident. Direct confiscation of the ‘farmers’ land would, he knows, result in a reyolu- tion and cause the downfall of his plans. But in- direct confiscation through the medium of burdens which the’ fart have voted upon themselves is something which will be achieved by' such in- ious p that’ Mr. Townley believes and WITH THE EDITORS WHAT RUSSIA FACES. | Poor Russia! i | Busy as the world is with the grim business of ; |Suppressing the German outlaw, it has time to/ sympathize with the appalling plight of the af-} flicted people of Russia, and it should take time | to help them so far as it can. ' It is clear—so clear that the last apologist for. the Trotzky-Lenine regime of hate, terrorism and! jmurder has been silenced—that the Bolshevist | “government” of Russia is an anarchistic minor-| + ity, subsidized by Germany, which holds its power, over. a betrayed, distracted, disappointed and ruined people only by a reign of terrorism, en-| forced by wholesale murder, such as the worid: never saw before. f Everybody who has or used to have two dollars ,is a suspects He is a potential enemy of Bolshevist rule, and therefore must be put out of the way. Everybody who has brains or can read is suspect and marked for slaughter unless he joins the Bol- sheviki rulers in their reckless destruction of} human life. Be, Meanwhile, Russia is paralyzed.

The ‘tonnage of anthracite which so! far this fall has moved into North Da-! kota from great lakes ports is con} siderably smaller than has been: cts-| tomary at this period in other years, advises Capt. I. P. Baker, state fuel administrator. The labor supply at the docks has been only 60 per. cent of normal, and in spite of a fair car distribution, it has been impossible to handle'the coal. This situation is rap- idly..being .improved, however, ,and ; within the last few weeks the weekly tonnage brought into the state has been increased from 4,000 tonus to 9,- 000, and still furthed advances are iny | prospect. Consumers of anthracite under the federal fuel administration ruling for | North Dakota are: permitted to /.tore{ not more than 2-3 of the amount of !fuel which they consumed during the} Users of other grades of | requirements up to March 31, 1919. Anthracite coal will be distributed on a pro rata basis. No consumer will be permitted to fill his bins to 2-3 ca- pacity’ while others in his community go without coal. The administration | recommends that dealers use care in | apportioning the available supply of ‘anthracite in order that every consum- er may have a share. Capt.
