Just ‘six barbers were implicated in ‘this demand. What they wanted of the bosses would cut their own salary and cut the bosses’ salary and the raise in prices which they have no authority to ‘fix, would, ‘along with the early closing, be very un- fair to the:public. ‘The four ‘shops that are still going to be open are violating no rules of any labor or union organization. The men could have any hours ‘they wanted, but when the proprietor ofa shop is told to shut his place that he is paying good rent for and let good money go by in the evening when people want a shave just because a few agitators want it so, it’s pretty near time to wake up. Ever since this union started it’s one demand ~ after another. Now we are going to find out from the very first authority if this is unionism or what it is. If our men want shorter hours they can have them, but we are going to run our own shops from now on.and if we wish to:'shave a man at 12 0’clock at night we are going ‘todo it. Our help can come ‘and ‘go as they please—that’s about what they al- ways have done. Now we wish the public to under- stand that we will serve them in the future the same ‘as in the past and at present we will raise no prices. We have also spoken to the proper authority about looking into this matter and the names of the parties (whoever they are) who agitated this thing will no doubt appear later. Any movement that does every- body harm is a blow to unionism, and should be nipped in the bud. J. W.

Hotel Officer Declares Millions of Dol- || Jars Have Gone Into Wierd Schemes St. Paul, Minn, Aug. 14.—The Non- partisan league will be dekaizerized by the fleeced farmers of North Dakota after they have awakened from the Townley trance by tripled taxes this. fall, declared Carl R, Kositzky, state auditor of North Dakota, addressing the annual convention of the National Association of State Auditors, Comp- trollers and Treasurers at the Saint Paul Tuesday. Mr. Kositzky asserted the socialistic laws forced on North Dakota by A. C. Townley, president of the league, are working out for the berefit of the pocketbooks of Townley and his fa- vorites, but not for the best inter- ests of the taxpayers. There is a gradual awakening in the state to Townley’s dictatorship and his self-seeking motives, said Mr, Kositzky. “Since Townley organized his league North Dakota farmers have been fleec- ed gut of millions of dollars,” said su-called co-operative clevators, banks, stores, snewspapers, and other indus-' tries is proving a money earner for ‘the league kaiser-and his assistants. “Just last week the state, carrying cut a law prepared by Townley’s paid theorist, wesignatea a Nonpartisan, paper in virtually every couhty ‘to publish in full the state public notices, and advertising. The income of these papers from this one source will be about $1,500,000 a year. As they all are controlled by Townley it is easy to see where this money of the taxpayers is going. ‘Farmers Said to Fear Leader. “This arch ‘autocrat ‘has thrown the fear of God into the farmers and state ofticials so they are afraid to say their soul is their own. They fear this man worse than the devil himself. Their greatest fear is that opposition to the autocrat will brand them through the medium of his personally owned league papers ‘as crooks and traitors. “When a court must obey the com- mand of an individual: when the state officials must obey the same command and when ‘the legislature of the state must hearken and immediately put into effect the same command, then you have a government not for or by. the people but a kaiserism. That, sum- med up, is ‘exactly the ‘situation ‘in ‘North Dakota under Townley’s re- gime.

EDITORIAL LAY IN YOUR COAL BEFORE SNOW FLIES Coal will be higher and poor:people will suffer next winter. Industries will be ham- pered by high price of coal. What, if anything, should be done about it? The one thing NOT to.do is to appoint a commission and conduct an inquiry. That method of embalm- ing public discontent has been used to the point of weariness. tially these: The facts are substan- During the war the production of coal was speeded up in every possible way, includ- ing special legislation to prevent coal miners striking. Patriotism was an inspiration to keep men at. work, and production ‘was ‘greater than ‘the average by millions of tons. With the war won, this ‘method of keeping up and speeding up production has stop- ped. Coal miners are observing religious holidays and taking time off when they feel like it. Coal production has fallen off about ten million tons. Demand for coal is great. Domestic demand is big. Foreign demand is big, due to decrease in production in British and other foreign coal fields. world’s needs, there is a coal shortage. As measured by the ‘The government has discontinued efforts to regulate price ‘and distribution of coal. This regulation was part of a “win the war” policy, and again, the war being over, ‘regu- lation ‘ceases. Government regulation was not intended primarily to lower the price to the indi- vidual consumer. The effect of regulation was to check speculation and curb extremely high prices. There was, however, profiteering. Indeed, coal barons were among chief offenders in profiteering. A glance at their dividends and recorded values of mines and__ stocks affords proof of this. Part.of the government’s plan during the war was encouragement of closer co-opera- tion among mine owners and operators. In other words, big coal producers were asked to get together and organize in what amounted-to one big owners’ union. © They did:so, and there is more nearly today a country-wide coal trust than ever before. This fall there will be a strike of the coal miners. This prediction is made with entire confidence in its accuracy. The fact has been known for weeks to the members of the War Labor Board. Miners have been waiting only for formal declaration of peace, which will repeal the law against striking. They will strike this fall even if there is no such formal declaration. This will produce further shortage of coal. Striking miners will demand nationalization of mines. made by British coal miners. This is the demand being These are the facts in regard to the coal situation. The householder may find a hint which will move him to LAY IN HIS SUPPLY before the snow flies.

It is all clear to.me absolutely premeditated. Four hundred farmers were inyeigled to go to Bismarck, supposedly in the inter- ests of establishing a line of elevators, statements that angered the farmers. Several ‘silver-tongupd jsoap-box orat tors, imported for the occasion, capi- talized ‘the pre-arranged speech of the outsider and the Nonpartisan league sprang into existence. From that mo- ment the trimming of the farmers of North Dakota began and until this day it has been going merrily on. “Here is an example: Many financial projects have been floated in the past three years with Townley and his min- ions as incorporators in each case. The Consumers’ United Stores company alone cost the farmers $1,500,000. This is what they got in return for their money; 10 per cent interest inthe project and the, privilege of trading at any one of the stores, Not very much, is it: Yet they paid $100 each for the certificate, 10 percent of which was for an interest in the store and the other 90 percent for educational purposes to be designated by Townley. “I first Crossed Townley on matters of taxation, All of North Dakota’s tax laws were drawn up by Prof. W. G. Roylance, Townley’s imported tax expert and a red-hot international So- cialist. Based Tax Laws on Theory. “This theorist drew up the tax laws besed entirely on theory. So compli- cated were these that to collect a -dol- lar Would cost virtually another dol- ‘lar, After learning of this I appeared before the tax committees of doth branches of the legislature. I had had more than ten years’ experience in matters of taxation and felt qualified to bring to the attentionof the com- mitees the flaws in the bills. The bills were passed, but amended considerably. “When Townley learned that I had been before the committee he cursed me for what he termed meddling with something that was none of my busi- ness, ‘What do you mean by interfering with something that is none of your business? he demanded of me. “‘T don’t believe in- permitting such villainous laws to go on the statute books of the state,’ I retorted. “In the future you stay away from here,’ Townley stormed. ‘We have ex- perts to look after those matters and don’t you interfering.’ “From that time on I became sus- picious. ‘It became hard sailing with Townley after crossing him. Senator F. W. Mees of Glen Ullin took up my fight, One day he got Prof. Roylance aside and questioned him. “What is your idea of taxing un- used lands 100 per cent and used lands 60 per cent?’ Senator Mees asked Roy- lance. “By the high taxes we expect to force ‘speculators to turn their land over to the state in default of tax payment,’ he replied. Would Give Lands to Others. “But do you .know that if all the unused land is acquired by the state Wee will be no taxes derived from. “We have contemplated that :con- tingency,’ Prof. Roylance replied, ‘and ve will give the state land to some one else,’ “This was about as apt an example as possible of the international Social- ists’ iden’of the redistribution of prop- erty..Take it away from one and give it to another, while the state suffers.” SONS OF AUDITOR MORRIS HOME FROM OVERSEAS SERVICE Eugene Morris Landed Tuesday, Edward Expected to Sail From France Soon Thefe is considerabl happiness in the family :of .Mr. and Mrs. EB, BE.

Silos Conserve the Feed Indications are that feed is going to be very expensive this winter. Why not conserve the feed that you have by erecting a silo? It will more than pay for itself the first year. We still have a few left at our yard. Come in and let us show you why they are the best and most economical silo to build. WOOD SILOS ARE THE BEST—THE TUNG- LOK IS THE BEST WOOD SILO. Simplest ° Putting up of a Tung-Lok is so'‘simple.a child could do it. No costly scaffolding necessary, no expensive “experts” needed to show you. Anyone:can understand. Low Cost Considered in the light-of their wonder- ful strength and rigidity, the price of Tung-Lok silos makes them cheaper than any other. “If you put up a Tung-Lok you'll have a real silo.” B 3 Strongest The Tung-Lok Silo is wind-proof. It re- quires no hoops or bands, and no guy wires. By a new principle of construction every part locks into the adjoining parts, making a silo which cannot fall down, won’t blow down, doesn’t have to be tightened up in dry. weather or loosened in wet, yet keeps silage perfectly. Tung-Lok units, laid flat and horizon- tally, make a wall half again thicker and more ‘durable than any other wood silo. F. H. Carpenter Lumber COMPANY ;
