Neither have the Fargo Daily Courier-News or the Grand Forks Herald or the other gang papers. The Fargo Courier-News gave its columns to news stories about the reduction, colored in favor of Hanna and the present office holders. The Courier- News said: ; “The present state administration has saved the taxpayers of North Dakota $231,000 for the coming year. This will be appreciated by those who have to dig up the money to run the state govern- ‘ment and it will be especially pleasing news this year in view of the fact that adverse crop conditions, especially in relation, to wheat, have prevailed over the state. “It is all the more unexpected because eral Linde, State Auditor J.:ienson nor Cemmissioner of Agriculture Flint are candidates for office this fall and their action cannot be constmed as being taken for political purposes in’ order to secure votes at the coming election.” The Courier-News says it was not expected that the present office holders would reduce taxes except to get votes, which is 'doubtless ‘true. But they expect the votes two years from mow, at the next election, after the first term of the farmers’ administration, which they hope will be utterly discredited by its inability to handle the crippled finances of the state left by the present administration. \ Public Elevators Win in Canada (Coritinued from page 9) the crop in another three years. The three farmers’ companies in the three provinces should be federated into one organization and we are now working to that end. When that is accomplished and we begin to control the biggest part of the crop we will be in position to dominate the entire grain marketing system of Canada. We will then control the Winnipeg Grain exchange, which will become virtually a farmers’ exchange and we can make our own rules. Until then we are merely members of the exchange like any other grain broker and abide by the rules made by those who control the exchange.” “Justice for All the Workers” (Continued from page 6) sary for cheap stock foods. North Dakota has no packing plants or term- inal elevators and the milling industry in the state has never been developed as it should. Dr. E. F. Ladd, president of the Agri- cultural college, who spoke before Mr. Hagan, said there were three great problems calling for solution today—edu- cation, production and distribution. - NATION’S TRIPLE PROBLEM DISCUSSED BY LADD “When we look upon the thousands and thousands of men who arc failures in life, many of whom-are tramps and hobos, we are led to ask, why this con- dition in a great and prosperous nation ?” said Dr. Ladd. “Lack, of early training, not lack of education, answers for the greater share of this unfortun- ate, submerged eclass of misfits in life. Any system of education that neglects the great fundamental principles of life must fail to get efficient men ‘and women as the finished product.” The problem of production in North Dakota, Dr. Ladd said, was to utilize the vast clay and lignite deposits, the state’s great natural resources mow untouched. In considering the problems of distribu- tion the speaker told "of - the unfair practices at the wheat markets. He “Here again I would call attention to - what I have said on previous occasions and try to make clear where I have been misunderstood. and misquoted, namely, that the grading of wheat as now done ‘is not Jnst and furnishes a basis for dis- " honesty in the mixing and juggling .of grades that always come out of the _mixture Better than they went in and to ‘the detriment of the farmer and thq ‘consumer. . just that. does' not take into considera~ farming operations. “No system of gradmg ‘wheat can be hon the milting yalue of the wheat or the Ia We guess so much _waste or screenings, which we donate and pay the freight on. “Any system of grading wheat failing to.take the milling value of the wheat into consideration will be a failure and furm§h a basis for continued gambling in wheat and should not be tolerated.” Farm Questions Answered . When it . is possible to do so0,sthe Leader will answer questions relating to: The Leader will always endeavor to. get the opinion of the best experts who can he reached. FEEDING FLAX ' Q. Is it dangerous to feed flax to fo-.l mars? A. Feeding flax to foal mares ought to be done only sparingly if' at all, ac- cording to Professor von Es of the A.C. 1t is not always harmful, but frequently. it is, and occasionally it is fatal.

In the Nonpartisan Leader of last week is an article on the worth of organ- . ization in which is outlined state organ- . izations not generally known. - It shows * that the Pressmen’s union at Fargo calls for a yearly contribution of $16. The regular printers’ union pay $6 yearly. Bankers pay from $7.50 to $20 a year, lawyers $8 a year. The retailers, hard-- ware and farm machinery men also have their sucker clubs. As is fitting, the newspaper sucker club’is only $3 per.
