An Independent Newspaper ‘THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) ‘une Company, N.D., Daily by mail, per year ‘ouraide of Bismarck) oo) el pomnen Weekly by ‘Weekly by mail outside of North Member of The Associated Press or not otherwise credited in this spontaneous matter herein are also Who Is on Relief? the government agricultural program by those whose vision is limited to espousal of pet ideas, it is interesting to note who in North Dakota has benefited by the government's activi- ties, ranging from direct relief to men and animals to bonus payments for crops which never were planted and which, had they been seeded, would never have matured. ‘The answer is every man, woman ‘and child in North Dakota, with the exception of the favored few whose income is derived from investments in properties outside the state. The person employed in store, fac- tory or office may find it difficult to imagine himself on the government's ‘ounty roll, Yet he is almost as di- ect a beneficiary as though his name ‘were actually inscribed upon it. ‘The same is true of the public of- ficer, merchant, banker or other businessman who, now that business has improved, may be inclined to consider himself a pretty smart indi- ‘vidual. All he need do to get the connec- tion is to ponder what shape he would ‘be in had not the government stepped into the breach. We have been re- galed with the figures, but too little emphasis has been placed on the con- dition which obviously would have existed had the government failed to adopt measures to meet the emer- gency. ‘Had not the government intervened ‘business failures by the wholesale ‘would now blacken the record. Starva- tion would not be merely something to talk about, it would be a grim reality for many of us. Ruined lives and shattered homes would be the commonplace rather than the excep- tion, as now is true. Most important among the federal moneys received have been the vari- ous agricultural bounties, Soon they ‘will total $38,000,000, every dollar of which passes through many hands, paying many bills and improving the lot of everyone. ‘Next most important is the $14,- 000,000 of relief money. It has Zended the wolf away from thou- sands of doors and enabled hundreds of thousands to “get by” in comfort ‘which amounts to luxury when com- pared to what might have been. ‘The refinance measures for farms ome. Much of this money has gone ‘to persons outside the state who had anvestments here. The real saving to the average farmer is that repre- sented by reduced interest payments, ‘which amounts to several million dol- Jars @ year. Of tremendous benefit, yond the scope of sound reasoning. Nevertheless, political blatherskites, for their own selfish ends, are busily engaged in throwing mud at the men and policies which have saved our state from destruction. If people would only compare the Bituation in which we find ourselves with that which would have prevailed had not the government stepped in, these individuals would receive a cool hearing indeed.

They were spread and encouraged by the Langer campaign management itself, But, as had been obvious to Thore- sen and to his friends all along, noth- ing came of it. There could be no basis for.mutual agreement. Thoresen brought to Bismarck a definite program which he insisted the Langerites accept before he would regard them as true to the Nonparti- pr principles which he long has 2.20| espoused. It was contained in eight Points which he submitted as the }00/ basis for an agreement. They were rejected for the rather obvious reason that public accept- ance of them would have meant @ confession on the part of the Langer group. They wanted him to support Mrs, Langer publicly. He was willing to do so if they would publicly accept the program whieh he suggested. They could not get together and Thoresen returned home. When all hope of uniting the League had vanished, he came out Tt was @ logical se- quence of the situation which the Langerites, in seeking to make a po- litical deal, had built up. Thoresen, a dyed-in-the-wool Non- partisan, recognized that the state government needs cleansing but would have preferred that it be done by rebirth of the League rather than by election of a Democrat. The end, however, was more important than the means and so, his dream of har- mony shattered, he asked his friends to support Moodie, ‘The result is a severe blow to the Langer faction which rapidly is grow- ing fearful of the election outcome. Reports of a sharp drift away from the Langer cause have dismayed them. The effort to deal with Thore- gen was one of several drastic meas- ures intended to keep the craft afloat. Its failure comes as a sharp setback and, emphasizes rather than dimin- ishes their difficulties. Realization So much has been heard of the effect of farm prosperity upon in- dustrial recovery that it is pleasing to note how the theory is working out. Farmers whose crops were destroy- ed by the drouth may have difficulty adjusting their minds to the fact that conditions in agriculture are improved, but the fact remains that agricultural income this year is the best since 1929 and something like a billion dollars above last year. This, of course, counts the proceeds of the benefit payments, but « check from of increased agricultural income up- on the course of business. Comment- ing on commercial developments of the last week, Dun and Bradstreet says: “The first full week of season- able weather brought reports from all parts of the country call- ing attention to the sharp in- preerpilsceraunce irre ld Pronounced in farm areas, ‘where it funds are Sie | ett hopeful. But that statement regarding increased trade in the farm areas is worth-noting. It is the be- Ginning of concrete proof of a policy which we in the farming districts. have long espoused.
