Why should ‘not. this -bill take the usual course and go over until July 1?” ra LEMKE’S LETTER. Republican State Central Commit- tee, Headquarters, Fargo, N. D. October 24, 1918, Dear Friend: Can we count upon your active co-operation between now and elec- tion day to help the good_eause | along? Big Business has raised a gi- gantie slush fund for the defeat of the ten constitutional amendments and through newspaper advertising | and whispered lies is making a des- perate effort to confuse the people | and to prevent the passage of these measures. - Unless these ten amendments pass, it will be impossible for the next legislature to submit for the rejection or ratification _ of the people laws permitting the state to build and operate flour mills, terminal elevators and packing plants: to exempt farm improvements from taxa- tion, to give the farmers state hail insurance at cost; and to establish rural credit banks which can loan money to farm- ers at a low rate of interest. These are the measures which will interfere with the profits of the grain gamblers, millers, packers, mortgage holding trust companies and insurance concerns, land speculators and railroads. That is why these Big Business interests have raised this huge slush fund and are-concentrating their efforts to defeat the ten constitutional amendments. Big Business is deliberately try- ing to, deceive the people. It does not tell them ‘that every plank of | this program is working satisfac- torily in many places throughout the world. Instead of telling what has happened where this program | has proved practical, it dodges the facts and makes dishonest predic- tions of what it says will happen. if we can get the truth before the people, we feel sure that they will vote for these measures. But to get the truth before the people, we must rely upon the personal so- licitation of ‘volunteer workers, as have to print these advertisements every day to keep up with the bare- faced lies Big Business is telling. | That is why we are asking you for help. We feel that you can be of great help if you will call upon your friends and neighbors, give | tifem the facts, answer the lies of, Big Business, and convince them that it ts their duty and for their | benefit to vote “yes” for all these | amanda measures, fil you not. make it a point to personally - eall. as many yoters in your predinct as you possibly can between’ now and election day and urge upon them in the strongest possibl ‘ms he necessity for vot- on all. - ——+ TO KILL BIG BUSINESS “Our. intention, is to kill big business with: bigger vbusiness,” said Speaker Stair atthe’ beginning of the discus- siod on ‘Reishus’ amendment proposing a-board of nine instead of three. Stair feats the caucus had gone on record for a commission of three and that it would’stick. ' “Why not make it a one-man com- mission, then,” asked Carr. “That's what you have now. The governor is the commission. The other two men are ‘mere figtreheads.” HANSON CAN'T SEE IT “T have lived quite a while and have had some experience with the world and this is the first time I have ever heard of killing Big Bffsiness by giving Big Business a mortgage on all our farms and selling Big Business our state bonds—the treasurer tells me Big Business is anxious to get them—in order to get funds with which to go into competition with Big Business. It sr done,” said Hanson of Grand PANTERRON TALKS mortgaging our farms for years in order to 0 fo carry us over some of the money’that Big Business stole from us,” said Patterson of Renville. “We hve $327,000,000 in mortgages in ge ‘we have no money to spend for full |} page advertisements and we would || |in caucus all that’s j for it.

I don’t know what Hanson has been reading. It sounds to me like Norm Black's and Jerry Bacon's poison dape.” ASKS FOR EXPERTS Judge Hemmi of Stutsman insisted that a larger commission of nine mem- bers would make possible the appoint ment of experts in various lines. One might be an expert in banking, an- other in grain buying and grading, an- other in milling, an other in farm loans. He insisted, too, that such a jboard would have some permanency and would not be liable to change ev- ery two years, as is the commission composed of the governor, attorney gen- eral and commissioher of agriculture and labor. LEAGUERS HAVE ADVICE “Us leaguers have diseussed this bill necessary and we've had just as good advice as we can get from the minority here, and we've agreed on a three-man commis- sion,” said Bryans of McHenry. “We've made up our minds for a three-man commission and we're going to vote I don’t want to hear any more discussion. I move the previous ques- tion.” The gentleman from McHenry was advised that the gag rule could not be ‘applied in committee of the whole. Reishus pleaded. for his amendment, insisting that it was to the interests of the state to obviate a one-man con- trol. “I heard a member of the ad- ministration, with an office here in the state house, being taken to task by a league manager a few days ago. To put it vulgarly, ‘the screws were be- ing put to him,’ and the same screws can be applied to the one-man mana- ger of all of these state industries.” Stair: “The minority in this house has opposed the league program right along.’ I don’t see where they have any leense to have a voice in the framing of our legislation. I'm not going to stand for them amending our. bills.” Twichell: “The proposed bourd: is one that may be changed every; two years. You're going after Big Busl- nes. Big Business ‘doesn't change‘its managers every two years. It would be far safer to get on this commission a group of men who would become experts and who would be, permanent, instead of three. men whose time is already fully occupied by the duties they owe the state. Under this bill the governor abolutely tuns the com- mission. They don’t do a damn thing unless the governor’ agrees to’ it, #hd at the end of every two years, that governor may be changed and anew. governor come in to undo all the work his predecessor has done.” For Efficiency. Maddock of Mountrail: “For effi- ciency we must have a small commis- sion. There is less opoprtunity for diagreement. The commission can- not do anything without the govern-, or’s consent, ‘but the governor cannat not do anything without the consen! of the other members of the commis- sion. This commission will doubt- less get advice from experts. Prof. Ladd undoubtedly will advise the governor.” 1° ¢ 0a Twichell: “Then why not put Dr. Ladd and J. M. Anderson on this commisison?” Maddock: “The governor will have’ the advice of Dr. Ladd and possibly a resident of this state.” ‘Maddock admitted when pinned down by Carr that the bill creates what is practically a one-man com- mission, li : Twichell: “In order to do any- thing they’ve got to have the gov- ernor’s consent. The other two mem- of J.
