Doubtléss many recommendatlons te.that end which were intended. to be part ‘of the auditor’s biénnial report to. the. legislature; but for lack of sufficient data to make definite recommendations, .it' will not be possible to include it in the forthcoming report. But the project is one that ought to be " undertaken in a comprehensive way, first who would not oppose a state paper mill- fot the benefit of newspapers would oppose a state packing plant or mill for the benefit of producers and consumers of packing plant and mill products. The Minnesota project has gone so far that Attorney General Lyndon A. Smith is now framing a bill authorizing the manufacture of paper from the pulp wood lying scattered over the 9,000,000 or 10,000,000 acres of Minnesota’s tim- bered and swamp lands. ‘In this project State Auditor J. A. O. Preus heartily concurs. Speaking to a- representative of the Nonpartisan Leader the other day in his office in St. Paul, he said: “I am just socialistic enough to believe that this-great state ought to manufac- ture paper from the wood which other- wise will, be wasted, and which js so badly needed today.” In fact, I framed Fargo’s Only Modern Fire Proof Hotel POWERS HOTEL Hot and Cold Running Water and Telephone in Every Room FIRST CLASS CAFETERIA IN CONNECTION.

In making this suggestion, he took into con- sideration the interests of the laboring men, who have shown opposition to hav- ing the state employing prisoners at labor that would bring them into compe- tition with Minnesot& laboring men and women. The state has immense quantities of wood suitable for pulp on lands that have been cleared of their merchantable timber, ties and poles. Much of the land could well be cleared of its present stand of pulpwood, and reforested for a future generation’s timber supply, but in its present condition it is yielding no value and perhaps in large areas becoming less and less valuable. It is a movement that the newspapers men -of the state have adopted as their own, for they dislike to pay monopoly- prices for their print paper, just as heart- ily as the farmers of North Dakota and Minnesota dislike to pay monopoly prices for flour and feed, and they are propos- ing the same remedy for their difficulty that the Nonpartisan League’ in four * states is proposing for other and bigger \ . in the political procedure of their brothers . difficulties—state owmership and opera- tion of manufacturing plants that will dispense with waste,- develop efficiency and yield products ' within . reosonable ‘reach of consumers, at the same time “And they did 11:. Ev‘ry ‘candidate on the farmers’ ticket;—except for state treasurer, was elected, and the League also controls the legislature. Many farmers in Minnesota along the Dakota line have taken a -close interest in the Flickertail state this year, and it would be no surprise to see the -move spread in this state before the 1918 election. One of the big things the League will undertake is the breaking up of the grain exchange graft in Minneapolis. Some- thing of the workings of the grain rob- bing gang is given in the latest issue of - the Nonpartisan Leader, the League’s official paper, published weekly at Fargo. ANOTHER LEXINGTON Leola; S. D., Dec. ;10 1916 * Editor Nonpartisan Leader: The news that wafted down into ‘South Dakota November 7 makes it look like “North Dakota had been taken from the hands of big business and placed in the ~~hands of the people, where it belongs. The first blood for liberty was spilled at Lexington, and it has'been said that there the embattled farmers stood and * fired the shot that was heard round:the world. Lexington is history, and North Dakota is making the same kind of his- « tory today. On her soil can truthfully be said ‘stood the farmers on November 7. § - “"“and fired a volley that was ‘heard- rode\_h i the world. A glorious fight and a glonons vxctory, “even though a few candidates were defeated and fell over the breastworks in the heroic charge! But Iet them not become cast down. They did just as’ much in the fight as the .victorious, Press onward! ‘Dark oppression sub- due! Look ever to League principles, - : they mll carty you through. ; XRAY, Sonth Dalcota..
