No privilege can} exist without creating corresponding | obligations and in this regard the| American people of late have palpa- bly been rer In North Dako: at the last election, out of the 000 or more legal voters within its confines, only 47 per cent considered the business of government of sufti- cient importance to register their will, It is plain under such cireum- stances one-fourth of the electorate | becomes controlling. With such lax-| ity on the part of our people, ag- gressive minorities rule majoriti and the very structure of democra and self government becomes jeop- ardized. . Farmer's Dollar 60 Cents For several years the agricultural dollar, and we are all dependent upon agriculture in this state—whether we work in the field or feed lots, in the villages or mines, nevertheless in the last analysis, we are but farmers— and I say that during the past sev- eral years the farmer’s dollar has had a purchasing power of only approxi- mately 60 cents when he goes to buy the commodities which he needs to carry on his business. “Some say that the farmer is him- self to blame because he produces too much, But one need be no phi-| losopher to learn that this doctrine | is falicious. There is no overproduc- | tion of commodities, and there never has been in the world’s history. “We have a nation and a people who produce in abundance, and if we will but apply ourselves to see to} it, that the rewards for service, whether performed upon the country- sides, in factory or counting house, are equally distributed, both pros- perity and happiness will fall to; every nook and corner in this great land. “It is of the highest importance that in working for this result, we apply the rule of reason to our own local government affairs, Some stress the doctrine that business should be taken over by the government, the people become its servants and em- ployes. It is my firm belief that gov- ernment is the best government, which govern the least, and that ex- tensive mixing of government and business is a dangerous experiment and one which will work irreparable injury to our people. ‘Against Monopoly “To my mind there is only one situ- ation which justifies government in engaging in private business in com- petition with its own citizens, and this situation occurs whenever and wherever persons or organizations obtain such control over the commo- dity or industry, that they have in effect a monopoly, and because of such monopoly, are able to-name, in- dependent of costs, their own price. Not only the last democratic platform, but in the very creed of democracy, this principle has been upheld and monopoly declared to be indefensible and intolerable. “The State of North Dakota, under the law providing for a state indus- trial commission, has the power, where such conditions exist, to take actions for relief, it was upon the claim of such monopoly in the mill- ing and grain trade, that the state mill and elevator was erected. And it is only in. such cases that govern- ment should engage in business. And then it should be done with caution and fairness, and with a view of pro- -teeting the public from unjust meth- ods, I mention these things to you because as a part of that great body, the Ameriean laboring man, who wields the largest politiesl power in | this country, J. warn yow not te be carried. away..,with the theory. that | upon us to cover the expense of its Gang, 16, has gone .

There are a large number of people in Bismarck and Mandan, and in fact over the entire county who have been growing some wonderful specimens of flowers, and who plan to enter these in competi- tion for the prizes that are to be of- fered at the Fair. Among the flowers that are to be hibited are the following varieties: adiolis, pink, white, red, blue, or yellow; dahlias, pink, white, red, blue and purple; sweet peas, pink, white, red, yellow and variegated; snapdragons, pink, white, red, yellow, variegated; asters, pink, white, red, blue and lavender; nasturisums, pink, white, red yellow and variegated; stocks, pink, white, red, yellow, lav- ender and variegated, Thomas Killand of the Northern Great Plains Experimental Station will take charge of the exhibit. Ar- rangements have been made to pay the premiums in cash as soon as the judges have determined the winners among the various entries. Mandan and Bismarck people plan- ning to exhibit flowers in this de- partment are urged to make their en- tries early in order to make a good showing the opening day of the Fair, Labor Day, Sept. 1st. Judging Plans Judging this year is to be arrang- ed so as to enable as many farmers as possible to be present and learn the characteristics of the various creeds of animals and plants, to en- able them to grade up their herds and products in a more efficient man- ner. The livestock judging which is one of the most important is to commence on Monday afternoon and continue until Tuesday afternoon. There are a large number of unsually fine dairy and beef cattle entered, The judging is to take place in the live- stock pavilion. Because of the increasing flocks of poultry that are raised in the south western part of the state, the poul- try judging work should be attended by a large number of the better class of farmers. The poultry business is one of the forms of diversification that has proved particularly profita- ble in this section of the country, and in order to enable a farmer to You'll like the appearance of a Lanpher hat as much six months hence.
