Arthur Lillegren, Mgr.—Adyv, Mention Leader when writing edvertisers | Pushing the League Along ABOUT_CONSCRIPTION . We have said before that it was | necessary to conscript the wealth of this nation in this war just as much as to conscript the young men of the na- tion, and we most respectfully suggest right now, that before any morg bond issues are talked about that the wealth of the nation be made to pay a fair share of the cost of the war. Income and inheritance taxes should be in- creased. Every dollar of income above $100,000 should be taken for war ex- penses. John D. Rockefeller would be doing a much greater good to himself and the nation if ht were compelled to pay into the treasury of this nation every penny above $100,000 he receives in income. There should not be a greater issue of bonds than has already been au- thorized until every dollar of money that can be raised by direct taxation witHout causing suffering has been levied. No person can ‘sensibly use more than $100,000 per year and there- fore that is the limit of income any man should be allowed. "On war profits like the four billion made by the steel trust last year at least 75 per cent of that should go into the public treasury. The same way with the sugar trust, the milling trust and all the combines that have been robbing the people. The future generations are entitled to a little freedom, and they will not get it, if we go on issuing bonds, and letting the rich take their extortionate profits. Two or three years such as last year and a few combines will have all the money .in the country. —PUBLIC FORUM, Denver, Colo. BIG SLOPE MEETING The farmers’ picnic which was ad- dressed by Governor Frazier and At- torney General Langer at the famous H. T. ranch -thirty miles northeast of . Marmarth last Saturday, .was the largest attended gathering that will be held in Slope county this year. After dinner Attorney General “Bill” Langer gave a stirring talk en his ‘method of enforcing the laws, which means that rich man and poor man, beggar man 2nd theif all leok alike to “Bill.” His theory is that laws are for all, and should be enforced without prejudice or favor. He was well received and his’ talkk heartily encored throughout, He was followed by Governor Frazier, who spoke on the purposes of the Nonpar- tisan league, as well as the huge war profits being made by eastern manu- facturers and food gamblers. The governor is developing into an enter-- taining and forceful orator, and when he dwelt upon the matter of wealth conscription as well as life conscrip- tion he was given deafening and uni- versal applause by the entire assembly. —MARMARTH (N. D.) 'MAIL. NORTH DAKOTA LIARS The Nonpartisan league members ought to get busy and clean out the ginks in North Dakota who send in malicious lies to the eastern news- papers about how our state is running, There are just as many of them here as there are German spies in the United States. “When Mr. Baer was elected congressman from the First district, reports were circulated thrdughout the east that Mr, Baer was against everything Mr. Wilson said or did and this report was commented on editorially by several Minnesota papers. Mr. Baer, we all know, is going to Washington to rep- resent the people of his district, and when he makes good, which -~-e all knew he will, the damphool liars and newspapers will probably keep their gazabos clesed.—GRACE CITY (N. D.) GAZETTE. GREATLY EXAGGERATED Evidently reports of “the disintegra- tion of the Nonpartisan league in North Dakota have been “greatly ex- aggerated.” The League experienced no difficulty in electing its candidate —John M. Baer, cartoonist of tha Leader—to congress. Baer ran against. strong Republican and Democratic candidates and won out by a larze vote in a special election July 10 to name a successor to Congressman Helgesen. Thus early in its career the League has a representative in the national congress—quite a feat in ifself. —TODD COUNTY (MINN.) ARGTUS. . & WHY THEY OBJECT A great many people show great sensitiveness about the government embarking upon a price-fixing pro- gram of action. Most of them, how- ever, appecr to be persons who haveg been able to do considerable price-fix- ing themselves in the past.—DEVILS LAKE (N. D) JOURNAL., S'I\"hONG FOR LEAGUE Now that Baer has chased the rest of the would-be congressmen up a tree we hope the Nonpartisan league will continue widening out until they will have control of every office within the gift of the peple of this state.—INEK» STER (N. D.) ENTERPRISH, PAGE FOURTEEN A BROOKLYN OPINION In its genesis not unlike the Green- back and the Populist parties, the Nonpartisan league has again struck boldly for public attention by the ease with which it swept the his- toric parties off their feet i the con- gressional election in North Dakota. It is of agrarian ofigin, a movement that owes its mass and impetus to farmer discontent. 3 It is interesting to note.how it has expanded under the intensive sultural effect of the sweeping passion of the time. When it elected a governor, it was almost entirely agrarian. Its project then had to do with the proc- cesses of food distribution as they af- fected the revenue of the farmer. Its purview was distinctly local. Now its vision has expanded to a national comprehension, and its wings are widespread. The platform on which it has sent John M. Baer to congress balks at no political problem. In the closing paragraph of the short but significant platform in which an American political division has for the first time expressed popular sentiment decisively since the outbreak of the war, is the statement, “A lasting peace is possibly only upon a new basis of human thought and relations with government—government in fact of the people, by the people, for the people.” Lincoeln’s ideal of democracy is a phrase we have noticed as gaining, in curreney in contemporary political discussion. It crops up here with a new significance, as the accepted ime plication is that the foundation of peace shall be the control of the sword by democracy, The Brooklyn Times said on the day that oup nation was sucked into the scylla of Blood that the war power was the reality of government. We believe that principle will emerge as the sae lient political, effect of the war. It is articulate in the platform of this western American party which sweeps into our stormy politics with a cry for the national interest and the Democratic expression of American vitality —BROOKLYN, N. Y., TIMES, GUN AND HOE The man on the farm this Year is of equal value with the man in the trench. . The people and the army and the navy must be fed and it is up to the farmers to do it. The man with the gun is not one bit more necessary to the nation at this time than ig the man with the hoe.—MEDINA (N, D.) CITIZEN, : v e
