‘overhead cost to the taxpayer. Certainly no néw boards or commissions to suck up public funds should be created. : ‘ Long before we had “industrial democracy”, the board of University and School Lands was making farm loans at a minimum cost. If the state must have a rural credits department why not expand the present one rather than duplicate effort and expense? It is a matter for the earnest study of the legislators.

Mrs. F. LE. A. South of- Atlanta adopted at various times children till she had taken 11 to her home. She pailmed them off on her husband as her own. She was exposed only when. she announced at 52 that she had borne him triplets. The irate husband at first demanded she give up the nine children under their roof—two had died. Finally he would keep six, but the tiny triplets must go! For a while the situation threatened to break up the South’s home. But the husband's and wife’s love for the six led them to make up differences. Meanwhile the matron of the maternity home from which Mrs. South obtained the triplets says she is pretty sure there are other such cases; and she knows there are cases in which dushands and wives have deceived their uejghbors into believ- ing that adopted children were their own. The victims in these cases are not the hus- THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) EE * NAUSEATING COMPROMISE North Dakota independents have a good stiff fight ahead of them to bring the state back to; solid ground. The fight can never be won by nauseating compromise with socialism. State socialism is either all right or all wrong. The Tribune believes that it is all wrong and that the fight from now on to be successful must be upon that basis. The nation temporized witl the slavery issue both in-its moral and economic aspects, but the time finally arrived when the Union had to decide ‘whether the nation could endure half slave and half free. ; » North Dakota: must end foolish' temporizing with the issue of state socialism and cast politi- tal expedients to the wind. It will have to re- gard the job hunters and slate makers. as sec- ondary and the issues involved as primary. ;, Those who have'stood the brunt of the fight against the industrial program, know that the ‘independents should never have temporized with their political opponents. State socialism will fail under the control of the independents as it has failed under the direction of its parents, the Nonpartisan League. The Tribune opposes further compromise to gain an office here or a berth there as a toe-hold toward: state redemption. A‘enre will not be ac- complished by resorting to palliatives. We have jgot to pry. state socialism out ‘root and branch. ‘That will‘come only when the voters are keenly aliye to the menace of state owned and operated industries. The Tribune stands as it always has ‘adamant: against: the whole industrial program. 2It is not lashed to fury by the revelations of the House committee. Any political observer, who has been watching the developments of the last four, years knew, if he were honest with himself, that nothing but disaster could attend a program | 9 far as it well might go—to cover the profiteer of class legislation. -[in the necessities of life?

Possibly North Dakota needs such a law. It would be well worth while for members of the legislature to examine into this subject and find out. If it develops that in North Dakota a child can be. “given away like a puppy” this condition should be corrected. : It is a safeguard that the Legislature owes to the child and to the community.

Let us be honest with ourselves. Thosé in the ranks of ’ the independents who honestly believe in state ., owned mills, elevators ‘and banks are at liberty _ to work out their theories. But they should not expect to clear up the present situation by giving é,us @ mild dose of the same thing. It is time for every up standing American citi- * gen who loves this great state and has some vis- ' fon for the futute, to cease advocating expedi- “ents and clean house only as the house-should be cleaned. .

Several facts have been established to date that » call for remedial legislation. The system of hand- * ling the public money is wrong. The legislature 2, should lose no time in passing a depositary law : that ‘would: prevent for all time the massing of} ' funds collected for specific purposes in frozen ty loans. ie * . -As-far as rural credits go, the state can easily §) place'this function under the:board of Univer. sity ite It is freely predicted that it will be a case of “Many are called but Hughes is chosen.” Church. dodgers welcome the news of the IIli- nois preacher who robbed the mail as a fresh alibi. : “EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column not express the opinion ‘of The Tribune. srg sree ia cussed in the press of the d BOTH ENDS TO BENEFIT The purpose of the new. co-operative selling Haw which passed the Legislature and has now been, approved by. the’ governor is ideal.

This is the crux of the whole problem of inarketing of farm produce. ‘The new Jaw proposed to reduce the costs of growing, packing and marketing farm products, dividing, the saving between the farmer and the consumer, giving the farmer more for what he grows and reducing the price to the consumer. Not all of this plan is experimental. In some lines it has been carried to demonstrated success it is claimed and the intention now is to apply the system more generally. The successful operation of the system thus founded in Jaw will have far-reaching and bene- ficial effects. If wholly successful, it will work both ways. ‘It will be the beginning of a new agricultural epoch.
