There has been practically no logical’ ‘defense of the 1. V. A. program which calls for a, ; bond issue to do just what Townley and his fol lowers seek—the continuation of the state indu ttries. It is beside the issue for The Herald to “yattle the bones of the poli ical bugabdos—always' ithe refuge of the inconsistent - politician ‘who: i stands upon a “we want the jobs and patronage”: ‘platform. : Le 2 The Tribune is at least consistent. It is op-) posed to the whole scheme of state owned indus-! itries whether dominated by the Nonpartisan! League regime or the I. V. A. Because it is fear-| less enough to stand upon that issue, The Herald| tinstead gt stating its own position on state social- ism, berates The Tribune and revives the peren-} ‘nial chestnut of “McKenzieism.” . What is biting into Jerry’s political hide are; federal patronage and the senatorial contest. ‘Are! hese issues in the recall election? Is it the aim and object of the I. V. A. to seek victory for the “purpose of securing recognition at Washington! iin the distribution of patronage? If so, why does jnot Jerry frankly. tell his readers that he wants *to be “collar and elbow” at the pie counter, even; ithough he has to swallow state socialism to get! there. , 3. The whole trend of the Grand Forks Herald! editorial republished in The Tribune Wednesday | ¢of this week, shows that its vision is prescribed iby an aspiration to dictate the next United States ‘senator and to participate in federal patronage. No such motives ebtain in The Tribune policy. | ,It has no ambition to be a Warwick and, asks no: ederal patronage. But it has a deep and abiding! thope of the final redemption’ of the state from :Socialistic fallacies. The cure for state socialism | tis not as the I. V. A. contend, more socialism, but} ‘an honest and fearless stand for a restoration of | ‘representative government—a complete abandon- tment of socialistic and class fallacies. » Until the anti-league organization can go before ithe people on a platform of complete restoration jot representative government there is no hope for; ,Stable conditions. Half way. measures and| {cowardly expedients never effected a real cure. | « The only hope lies in reviving the Republican ‘party of this state and in purging its ranks of} ‘democrats, socialists and the other political vari vie-| ities whose fusion has produced the political mons- | ‘trosities in the I. V. A. program. | 5.00 . 6. 0 DOWN WITH HIS SHIP One of the’ finest traditions of the sea is that! the captain is the last to leave a sinking ship. He ‘sticks to his bridge until all others are safe, ‘though it means his certain death. This fine tradition was lived up to by Com- mander Maxfield of the American crew on the! dirigible ZR-2. Commander’ Wann, British navigator, who miraculously escaped when the ZR-2 exploded and fell, tells the thrilling story of Maxfield’s| heroism in an exclusive interview obtained by the! Newspaper Enterprise Association. | ¥ “Commander Maxfield and his. comrades died | as martyrs to duty and thought for others,” says Commander Wann. +) 3 “Had they thought only of their personal safety, | there was time to snatch parachutes and jump. “But in the few seconds given to them, they remembered that abandoning the ship would re- Bult in greater disaster in the densely packed! a@treets below. .. “So they stuck to their posts, to steer their ship} to a safer crashing place. By their success, they) Baved others at the expense of their own lives. | * “When the ship swayed and a great sheet of flame shot out,” says Commander Wann, “I ex-; changed looks with Maxfield and saw from his grim-set face that he realized the worst. i “Never have I seen the face of a braver man. “It was an inspiration to all of us, a splendid) reminder that our first thought must be to clear the crowded town and find a grave in the river. Fd “Then came tense, anxious moments in which | we wondered if we could do it. A look of relief Btole into the eyes of brave Maxfield.

Had helium gas filled the ZR-2, it is held, the ‘disaster could not have occurred. Despite any ‘structural weakness, a landing without loss of life | very probably could have been made. The United States has inexhaustible sources for the development of helium gas in Texas. ‘ The navy intends to go. ahead with the construc- | tion of a sister‘ship, the ZR-1, at Lakehurst, N. | J., taking advantage .of every lesson learned ‘in the construction, navigation, and tragedy in the career of the ZR-2. When the ZR-1 rises into the} skies, the lifting power will be helium. DIRIGIBLES : Since the disaster to the ZR-2 thousands ‘of Americans have asked: “What is the purpose of- these great rigid dirigibles?” They are intended for long distance scouting. | Lighter-than-air ships have shown a flying ra- dius of 6500 miles. This means that a dirigible leaving our Pacific coast could scout Japan and return—provided it! was not dropped by enemy gun-fire from naval vessels or by bullets or shells from faster heavier-|. than-air flying machines. There is real doubt, however, as to the value of nerable not only to enemy attacks but to the ele- ments themselves. This vulnerability should ‘cause the navy de- partment to stop and ask: . “Will we be giving the taxpayers value received in hazarding another two million on the ZR-12” EDITORIAL REVIEW‘.

Yet there are several counties in Minnesota where that is the average income per farm from the production of creamery butter alone. Stearns county, for example, had a gross in- icome from creamery butter alone ‘of $3,652,000 in 1920. There are 4,598 farms in Stearns coun- ty, so the average income for all the farms in the county from creamery butter’ alone would be| about $800. If you eliminate the farmers who do| little or nothing with cream, the average would) Minnesota has no less than seven counties which have gross returns of more than $2,000,000/ annually from creamery butter. These counties are Stearns, Ottertail, Wright, McLeod, Carver, | Steele and Freeborn. Probably the best ’ showing! is by Steele county, where 1,860 farmers average| more than $1,000 apiece each year from cream} checks. There are no less than 20 more counties! which have gross returns of between $1,000,000) and $2,000,000 from cream checks. | Under the trying conditions for farmers: which have existed during the last year, the man who has diversified has been about the only one to! make money. The man who has been farming with “the cow, the!sow and the hen” has beeni able to “get by,” while the grain grower has; As a dairying country, Minnesota is no better than many parts of North Dakota, but the Minne-| sota farmers have built up the dairying industry through co-operative creameries until in 1919 they produced one-quarter of all the creamery butter made in the United States. Nor are they satisfied with: this truly remarkable showing.; They are now planning a federation of creameries and the adoption of a Minnesota state brand which will standarize all the creamery butter produced in the state.*-.That will mean that Minnesota creamery butter will be known throughout this country and even in Europe as representing a cer- tain standard of excellence.

True the Tribune conducts vne of the lar- gest job printing plans in the state. It has held more state «-ntracts when it was supporting O’Connor and Lan- ger than it holds today. It was award- jed these contracts because in com- petition with all the plants in the state it presented the lowest bid, just as Mr. Tostevin secures work from the Nonpartisan League county commis- sion of Morton when he is low bidder. The Tribune has never received a nickle in “pap” from the league. Al! the strictly league patronage zoes to their own printing plants. The law specifies how state printing shall be handled and it is dispensed strictly ac- ‘os Here again is reflected the habit the I. V.
