They make no mention, however, of farm relief, save to commend the Demo- cxatic-Progressive ¢oalition for its tariff work, or of prohibition. The committee did not discuss the matter of possible candidates, though it indulged in some speculation as to “a strong nominee for governor.” The meeting was held behind closed doors, and members refused to comment on whether or not any particular persons were referred to as gubernatorial timber. No mention was made of the can- didacy of P.O. Hellstrom, of Bis- marck, announced earlier in the day. Before it went into session, copies of Mr. Helistrom’s petitions and his pledge were shown to several mem- bers, but oniy H. H. Perry, of Elien- dale, chairman of the state commit- tee, made any comment. “That's the trouble witha the Demo- cratic y,” he said. “In a year when we have @ chance to win, every- body wants to be a candidate.” In discussing the work of the Pro- | gressive-Democratic coalition, the resolution say: “The same coalition cf agreement and effort among the progressive peopie of North Dakota will remove every opposing impedi- | ment to economic rehabilitation, and m to the scrapheap cvery tool masters now holding office by the gifts of our peopie.” Demand Effective Tariff ‘They demanded, too, that the tariff on wheat be made effective “through the stabiiization corporation taking off the market the annual temporary surplus to the end that the American wheat grower will have possession of tae American domestic market and consequent benefit from the tariff.” “WHEREAS, under Republican ad- ministration there have sprung up and grown into serious against personal rights and individual endeavor, policies and procedures vio- lative of the fundamental principles ef American government, and, “WHEREAS, as the direct result of fren Fo surplus to the end -ti threats ; ie to the farm producer of wheat. |: eom { We. therefore, demand that the 42% | cent tariff be made effective on wheat jase the stabilization corporation: ing off the market the annual | the American wheat growers will have Possession of the American domestic market and consequent benefit from the tariff.

That it would pay for itself in service rather than in money profits. “That the principle thus enunciated jhas been accepted by the people gen- erally, and by all factions of the Re- publican party, is now well known. That principle was and is accepted because it was and is based on com- mon sense and truth. Less Service Charged “Again, in the interest of fairplay and truthfulness, we call the atten- tion of the people of North Dakota to the fact that the present increase in so-called money profits to the state mill is not because of any superior management or less extravagance, but is derived solely from less service to the farm producer. In truth and in fact, the so-called increased money profits is due to the fact that the state mill and clevator has not, and is not, paying protein premiums for the wheat it mills, and the farmer is the loser. As usual the farmer “pays the \ freight” while the present adminis- tration plumes itself on its superior managerial ability. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE.

Taxation is taxation from whatever source the revenue is derived, and this unwar- ranted increase on an already over- burdened people is without example in our state history.
