"THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER | (Established 1873) NOW FOR RE ismarck has come through its city election without many ; sears or much bitterness. The majorities piled up by John; French and John Larson can leaye no doubt in the minds of the people of the sentiment toward municipal ownership of the water plant and the elimination of that vexacious prob- lem from city politics. It is good policy to forgive and forget following a city election and rally to the support of the winners in an honest ! cfort to work for the best interests of the city. The City Commission needs advice and counsel in the freat problem of settling the water issue. Their task is not easy and the way still to be traveled is a long and ardu- ous one necessitating the finest kind of cooperation on the part of the citizens. 3ismarck’s future growth and development depends upon 1 settlement of the water issue one way or another so that needed extensions and other improvements can be made. Commissioners Larson and French are emphatically on ecord for city ownership of the present plant if possible ind if no agreement can be reached they are for the building fa new plant. Bids are to be advertised for a new plant based on City iingineer Atkinson’s plans. Estimates are to be called for also upon necessary extension and improvements to be made to the present plant in event the Bismarck Water Supply | company’s plant is purchased. The City Commission in its meetings with the Board of Directors of the Association of Commerce indicated that its members realized the importance of the step and the in- crease in ta kind of a SULTS istance in making the final decision. If Bismarck is to grow and prosper there must be sane} and conservative action in the manner of financing new pro- | jects as tax burdens rest heavily now, but there is a demand for ome immediate decision upon the water issue and doubt- less within the next few months some definite action will come in view of yesterday’s mandate. | MR. TOWNLEY HANGED VIEWS | When The Tribune recently asked why, in the light of; the repudiation by A. C. Townley of his many former views, | he had subjected the state to internecine warfare for so long,! The Tribune was promptly taken to task by Commissioner S. A. Olsness who declared his belief that Mr. Townley’s new program for a farmers’ organization was not incons: ent with his former ideas. The portions of an interview | <printed in the Christian Science Monitor, and reprinted in The Tribune last night, however, leave no room for| doubt! that Mr. Townley is now advocating a different principle of | farmers’ progression than he has for the last six years. He says so himself. | Although Mr. Olsness holds Mr. ent there are others supporting the same League principles as Mr. Olsness who do believe that he is inconsistent. The Williams County Farmers Press, Nonpar. tisan, after saying it kept silent until after Mr. Townley ; “Mr. Townley | | Nonpartisan | deserves credit for his ideas in promoting the League move- ment and if he had remained loyal to his original plan, in the course of time he would have been rated in history as a second Lincoln. But his speech in Williston last week plainly indicated that he has reverved his opinions in regard to the farmers’ problems and it was 4 humiliating surprise to his friends and supporters in Williams county. It is discourag- , ing to note Mr. Townley’s change of heart. A few years ago ; he voiced his sentiments in emphatic language and was classed as a radical by the opposition. His manner has changed and words flow as smoothly from his lips as they would from the lips of a Wall street banker, telling the farm- ers that the league is too slow.and advising'them that they can never accomplish anything through political action.” Mr. Townley’s chief declarations were that he believes price-fixing can be accomplished successfully only by the farmers themselves, each man should stick to his trade and that it is impossible for state enterprises to succeed. The Tribune holds that state enterprises in North Dakota already have had sufficient experimental operation, and that! the people have found out that they are both unsuccessful financially and unprofitable fa: the general welfare. And The Tribune agrees with Mr. Townley that it is difficult for a man or state to engage in a highly specialized business | with hope of success. There is no particular quarrel with Mr. Townley’s new ; venture, because its ill results, if any, will be confined to those engaging in it. TO.GUARD THE WILDFLOWERS | A campaign of education among school children has been suggested as the best way to prevent the annihilation of many of our native wildflowers. With the days at hand when going after wildflowers will be the principal outdoor sport, the campaign cannot be put into execution too promptly. Some states have tried to protect the native flora by leg- islation, but Jaw alone will not do it. What is needed is of their preservation, and the fact that unless some restric- tion is put upon gathering them, many of the loveliest varie- ties in America soon will be memories only. There is much wider interest in such subj erly. It should not be difficult to arouse public co-operation in gathering wildflowers carefully and sparingly, and in the establishment of. many preserves where they are not to be gathered at all, but left to grow freely and propagate their kind. é ¢ 4 This campaign’ may well start in the schools, Children are at once the most ardent and ruthless gatherers of flow- ers, But they are also the greatest enthusiasts and propa- gandists, in the world. _ Under proper guidance they can ‘easily be interested in. wildflower preservation themselves, | ind.then they: will preach the gospel to all their kindred. 0 | able the involved and they earnestly asked the closest | sal: “barked the dog, though he would eat the whole world | some method for arousing widespread interest in the subject | ects than form-| kr | parents.
