He has invited a thor- ough and searching investigation of his man- agement of the State Mill and Elevator at Grand Forks and, without rancor or political flourish, has pointed out the damage continual criticism and frequent audits do to the business of that state enterprise. ‘ He has placed the business phases of the in- dustry before the members of the legislature ' who in the final analysis can alone determine the policies and future of the State Mill and Elevator. By a two-thirds vote, the legisla- ture can expand or curtail activities at Grand Forks and, in the same manner, the legislators can formulate a policy that will prevent con- tinual sabotage on the part of politicians against this state enterprise, which has since its construction been a political football. Regardless of the opinions pro or con as to the wisdom of state-owned enterprises such as the Mill and the Bank of North Dakota, it must be admitted that Governor Sorlie’s man- agement of the mill has been the best in the history of that institution. Governor Sorlic believes sincerely that the Mill and Elevator is an effective marketing agent and that direct and indirect benefits to the farmers and people generally of the state justify its continuance. Governor Sorlie is absolutely sound in his ‘ition that if the enterprise at Grand Forks to be contiriued. there should he a revamning in the policies followed, chief of which is the passage of protective legislation that will elim- inate useless audits and curtail the kind of publicity which breaks down sales organization and lowers the general efficiency of the state enterprise. If mills, elevators and banks, owned and operated for profit by the state are to be part of the state machinery, it is to the . interest of the taxpayers and people generally » that-they be run as efficiently as possible and that«deliberate and mischievous attempts to wreck them be curbed as vigorously as lies within the power of the legislature. But if, on the other hand, the legislature after due inves- tigation and deliberation decides that the time has come to dispense with such governmental activities, there should be no delay in getting | out 6f'the business. Such a move will demand . courage of the highest order and undoubtedly § a two-thirds majority to put over such a radi- * cal change in state policy cannot be secured. is no indication that the farmers of the etate, who are in the majority, want the mill, i the elevator or the bank closed and such en- ‘terprises liquidated and the state take its med- icine now as the initial step toward ending a policy of state ownership adopted at several @ections. ~ The legislature can take either horn of the — which the governor’s message presents. if, Political faction is solidly behind all state ; even to the extent of recommend- % ing the erection at Fargo of a million dollar elevator as an adjunct to the Grand ks grain terminal. In convention and upon ‘the hustings, prominent members of the oppos- faction have urged an abandonment of ownership as a fixed policy of North Da- but they have been vague and indefinite to how such an end could be achieved. The ate has some four million dollars invested at Forks, Any attempt to sell or scrap investment must be through legislative ent and it is very doubtful whether the of the state would approve such an ac- 88 Af the opposing political factions cannot free upon a future policy for state-owned aterprises which will insure harmonious man- agement of them, there is still a third way out the difficulty.

The legislature should, re- forum until the impression abroad is anything but favorable nor does it reflect the accurate status of affairs. Loyalty to state institutions created by fiat of law and upheld by a great majority of the people is a goal that should be achieved, un- less in the decision of the legislature any of these institutions are prejudicial to the best in- terests of the state. That is the great issue before the special session. If it is ap) in a spirit of narrow partisanship nothing will be accomplished, but if statesmanship is ap- plied to a solution of the various issues raised 0/in Governor Sorlie’s message, great good can come from the session which is now under way. Time flies, and barbers are chirotonsors, un- dertakers are morticians, wiremen are elec- trologists and trusts are mergers. Judged by views from the street, the fur- nishings of houses consist mostly of lamps. “I do” is-a life sentence. | Editorial Comment. Wants ‘Peddlers’ Day’ (Carrington, N. D., Independent) We suggest that merchants, interested in the peddler evil, close all stores one day next week and inaugurate “Peddler Day” in Carring- ton. Let every merchant, clerk and attache get some article, a sales talk and a load of unmit- igated galll and nfake the rounds. After the housewives of Carrington have answered the doorbells to their calls and seen the displays they will probably be tired of front door mer- chants. To make the day a success we suggest that prizes be offered to the “peddler” who makes the larges number of sales. Of course, there must be a deposit from the housewife, who will be required to wait seven weeks for the deliv- ery of the article. Then if it goes bad there must be no comeback on the merchant. No guaranties allowed and bulldogs barred! Making ‘Dixie Pay Part’ (St. Louis Globe-Democrat) “Dixie should pay part,” says the New York Evening Post, “if only for the sake of enforc- ing a wise economy. They should do it, too, for the sake of sound precedent. How would the south like it if the government should pay the total cost of the proposed St. Lawrence ship canal?” ' So far as a typical view shared by many is expressed in this, it must be a view arrived at hastily without much consideration of all the phases of the problem. The St. Lawrence project differs from other waterway improve- ments proposed or executed only in contem- olating a betterment in an international stream. Whether or not the south likes it, the fraction of the whole ¢ost apportioned to the United States in the division of costs with Canada wili be wholly paid by the general government, just as the general government has paid the whole cost of the Panama Canal, the several canals at the Saulte, the one at St. Clair Flats and of various other improvements in connecting channels and harbors. That New York, Penn- sylvania, Wisconsin, other states benefited “should pay part” will not be asserted. = The logical alternative of a plan under which the general government would pay all the cost of flood control is not a plan contemplating that the states suffering from the floods should pay in proportion to the damage incurred. That logical plan would be one compelling the states in which the floods originate to pay in such proportion as the freshets sweeping from the territories of each bear to the total volume of overwhelming waters. Here are two groups of states, from the larger of which groups inundations pour them- selves over valuable areas of the smaller group. Why should Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas pay “part of the cost” of controlling this hos- tile invasion of waters, with perhaps Tennes- see, Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois paying at a smaller ratio? That a state here and there might be classified as belonging to both groups would only furnish a detail in the bookkeeping. Why should not the whole cost be assessed on the general principle of making those states pay that escape a perambulating menace when the waters roll away from their borders to do their destructive work on other states? Were that principle seriously proposed how quickly] She would those states insist that the cost must 02 defrayed wholly by the general government, min not even “a part” apportioned to them- Selves. The equities of the case are recognized when the general government proposes to assume all but 20 per cent or other percentage of the cost. Why should it pay any, if not all?. The plea that Dixie should not pay because Dixie hasn't the money is, as is stated, the weakest of all Pleas. Even if the south could pay and and pay, as it has in the past, it would still be an interstate matter, with the responsibility vested in the branch of the government which exclusively has interstate jurisdiction. It is true that levee protection originated at a remote date in local needs and was often made at local cost, but local protection no longer suf- fices. It is no longer a local matter. A fail- ure in one locality to take adequate measures means unmerited injury to unoffending, help- ? pod in Ted localities, a is also sai one grou! states have on of si use the walls of roarin; waters follow the natural it | Lindy Takes Off—A SAINF == SINNER With desperate hurry Faith jerked open the bathroom window and flung the three bottles which had contained poison as far as her strength permitted. Fortunately the window overlooked a side street that was deserted for the moment. She listened for the reassuring sound of the crashing of glass against pavement five stories be- low, then pulled down the window and walke outside door, which was trembling’ under a deafening barrage of blows. “It’s funny, but I feel as weak as if I had taken poison,” she re- flected, leaning against the door jamb for support as her icy hands fumbled with the key, in ‘the lock. “Did you knock?” -she asked with ludicrous dignity, as her fever- hazed ¢yes "tried to foeus "on faces of the men who were staring at her in amazement.
