Last Half of 1936 Eventful-in State Political Activities Reach Acme With Results of General Election (This is the third and final of a series deploting North Da- kota’s important news happen- ings of 1936). The jast half of 1936 was eventful one in North Dakota. President Roosevelt selected the state for his first stop on his widely heralded drouth inspection trip. The voters remembered at the polls in November by giving him a presi- dential victory in every county. It was in August that the coun- try’s chief executive entered the state by special train, first learning of the death of Secretary of War George H. Dern which made neces- sary a change in his scheduled itin- erary. After touring Burleigh and Morton counties, he made stops at Jamestown and southeastern areas before entering South Dakota. Langer Comes Back After his defeat in the Republican primary election, William Langer achieved gubernatorial victory in the November election running as an in- dependent. It was at the same elec- tion that liquor proponents won @ surprising victory and legalized liquor which was sold legally in the state for the first time in December. During July violent deaths includ- ed Mrs. BE. M. Canfield of Williston and Albert Lee of Noonan, who crashed in an airplane near Noonan, and Hauke McCone of Hensler and Ted Anderson of Fort Clark drowned mear Hensler in the Missouri river, seeking relief from heat. The WPA work list also mounted to 23,00 per- sons, a new high. Liquor measure petitions were also first circulated. Memories of early days were re- lived at Bismarck at a Pioneer Days celebration. John D, M. Hamilton, Republican party chairman, was an honored visitor at Bismarck during August, and, meeting with party leaders, pre- dicted victory for Gov. Alf M. Lan- don of Kansas, In addition to the president and Hamilton, another dis- tinguished visitor that month was William Lynn Ransom of New York, president of the American Bar as- sociation, who addressed the State ~ Bar association at Fargo, of which C. J. Murphy of Grand Forks was named president. In the sports arena, Grand Forks won the state Legion baseball title, and Los Angeles, the western sec- tional title in a Bismarck tourna- ment.

() — Socialist ;Spanish armies fought against time in the dying hours of the old year Thursday to shut off insurgent sup- plies from the west and drive back the besiegers of Madrid. Government armies were massed in the Tagus river sector and around Pozuelo de Alarcon, making every ef- fort to join et a point east of Tala- vera and cut the Fascist road to Es- tremadura. The time element was vital because of a rebel drive from Cordoba, on the south, which the government said was German-reinforced. There was no hint of respite in the eight-weeks’ slege of Madrid or in the “international civil war” itself. One of Madrid's few goncessions to the new year was to permit repairs for the shell-split clock in the Puerta del Sol, but there was no one to eat the traditional 12 grapes with its 12 strokes of midnight. The British embassy bussed with preparation for Friday's evacuation to Valencia, but the consulate an- nounced a staff would be maintained here for the time being. Thompson Leaves for Rites for E. J. Best B. J. Best of Princeton, Ill., brother- in-law of L. K. Thompson, 612 Avenue D, died at 5 a. m., Thursday of pneu- monia, according to @ message re- ceived here. Mr, Thompson left on the noon train Thursday to attend the last rites, which tentatively are set for Saturday. Mr, Best's death occurred only a week after the funeral of Mrs. John A. Graham of Bismarck, sister of Mrs. Best and Mr. Thompson, for whom services were held here last Thurs- day. It was after the services for Mrs. Graham held at Princeton last Saturday that Mr, Best was taken ill. Mr. Graham, who went to Smith Falls, Ont., after the body of his wife was buried at Princeton, communi: cated with Mr. Thompson Thursday and said that he would return to Princeton for the Best rites. Mr. Best leaves his widow and one son, Thompson Best.

This Now, after sober and diligent study, the farmers from nearly every state in the union, even including the Dem- ocratic south, are alarmed at the pos- sibility of the creation of 48 little AAA‘. They see the grave possibility North Dakota, today, with $18,000,000 jn United States treasury checks com- ing to the farmers at this time, would have this money all impounded until the supreme court might render a de-| cial cision. Then too, there is the political element. What would not the Democratic governor Talmadge of Georgia do to embarrass the national administra- tion with the passage of a law in Georgia that would make it impossible of compliance with the Department of Agriculture? Could anyone imagine log that the Republican Governor of Michigan, in his bitter fight the Department of Agriculture, would not inject political controveray into, that would make com- What would be the attitude of the North Pacific soft wheat farmers who always have an unused surplus in that district, towards the spring wheat farmers of North Dakota and Mon- tana?

The big in-j worth. dustrialists who are almost uni! opposed to our program of parity in- comé and controlled production could just sit by and watch the farmers of the different states fight among themselves towards the destruction of our whole agricultural program. In view of our experience now it it looks plainly ridiculous that state control should ever have been pro- posed. Even those who originated the idea are now confident that it would not work out properly. Let us visual- ise how we have secured this farm and then we can figure haw it must be continued. The organized farmeré of the nation, through their selected farm leadership, wrote the present farm program in cooperation with the Department of Agriculture, in the face of the tion of pri 4s almost unbelievable that we have accomplished so much in such « short space of time. The organised farm leaders have so largely controlled the attitude of the Department of Agricul- ture that Secretary Wallace became the target for the most vicious prop- aganda that highly-paid writers could invent. Other industry has reached a high degree of organiza- tion while agriculture is less than 20 per cent organized. Yet farm organiza- tions haye dominated the agricul- tural policy almost completely. This is 8 happy situation which, if continued, will mean eventual parity of income for American farmers. What if this is broken down into state control? Some states have prac- tically no farm organization. The agriculture of those states is domin- ated by wealthy landlords. It will take a long course of years for those down-and-out tenants to become edu- cated and organized to coptrol their destiny in any degree. How would the people of North Da- kota and Montana react to @ pro- gram of controlled production and controlled marketing organized by the wealthy land owners of South Caro- lina, where they don’t even know what « farmer's organisation means? The very safety of the whole farm program demands that congress immediately amend the soil conserva- tion law eliminating the feature of state control, We are sure that the farm leaders of the nation will demand Wayne, Turner, Doehle and Bill Clark were day evening callers at John fords. jure we Mr. and Mrs. John Crawford, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Snyder and y visited at the William Saobenald Dakota and who fornierly their home here, friends Bismarck and vicinity last week. guests Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Clooten amd son Kenneth of Bismarck, Mr, and Mrs. Studie Woodworth and fami were entertained for Christmas dinner at the home of Mr. and Walter Woodworth. mies ae states relative to .
