These weighty matters cannot be settled right for the people of North Dakota in the secret cau- cus of any organization, lehgue or anti-League. The solutions must, be determined in the halls of the legislature where the elected representatives of the people have taken a solemn oath to sup- port the constitution and protect the peace, health and safety of North Dakota. |war prices) would, according to Barker’s es! mates, yield something like 500 billion gold marks, or more than twice the fixed indemnity. The trouble, though, lies in the fact that the coal and potash must be mined, and the workers must live while they dig. If the coal and potash could be scooped ‘up, as so much gold in a vault, and transported to the allied treasuries, the selv- ing of the indemnity problem would be compara- tively easy. If Germany could now hand over half her po- tash, a tenth of her underground coal, and call the Dill settled, there would be less wailing and |gnashing of teeth beyond:the Rhine. .

As far as The Tribune knows there is no ten- dency on the part. of the members to dodge any responsibilities. There is an unfortunate divis- ion of opinion on remedies that should be adopted and valuable time is going to be wasted trying to find some middle ground that will meet all requirements, ‘Why not go to the heart of the trouble. Let us get out of the cul-de-sac—touring blind alleys will not profit us at all and begging the issue gets us:nowhere. Complete liquidation of’ the ‘entire industrial program is the only solution andthe restriction of state activities solely to governmental func- tions. It may inean the evaporation of a beau- tiful dream to many honest men, but desperate conditions call for desperate remedies. ‘The legislature in view of what has been devel- oped’ should be able to provide for such -liquida- tion immediately without any “ifs or ands.” .Failure on, the part of the legislature ‘to meet the emergeneies like statesmen will force the people to step in and do the job themselves..." uk THE BEST PLACE TO.
