League and Labor Alliance Illinois Workers’ Party Urges Organized Producers Co- Operate for Political Action At its_recent convention in Spring- field the state Labor party of Illinois passed the following resolution com- mending the Nonpartisan league and expressing a desire for a nation-wide union of farmers and workers: “Whereas, the Nonpartisan league of North Dakota, in its efforts toward economic readjustment of “conditions and justice for the people of that great state, as represented by its gov- ernor, Lynn J. Frazier, and the presi- dent of the North Dakota State Fed- eration of Labor, S. S. McDonald, is deserving of our highest commenda- tion, appreciation and emulation; | therefore be it “Resolved, that the Illinois state Labor party, in convention assembled, extends fraternal greetings to the Nonpartisan league and the trades unionists of North Dakota and invites . reciprocal relations and co-ordination of effort in a nation-wide movement Ham and Eggs A Lesson in Fundamental Busi- ness Principles BY L. R. REQUE Many of you who 'read this will have noted the numerous advertise- ments that are now appearing ‘in our magazines informing you of Swift & Co.’s ethical dealings with the con- sumers of Swift products. " They .announce that if you will send them your name they will in return send you a book -which will conclu- sively prove that during 1918 they - earned only 2 cents on each dollar sale. The following is a choice morsel from one .of these advertisements: “There is no mystery in the meat packing business. It operates under conditions of intense competition, and like every other business is controlled by fundamental. business principles.” It is difficult these days to decide what fundamental business principles are. Swift & Co. operate under one set of principles, Standard Oil under another, the American Woolen mills of Lawrence, Mzass., under another, and Burleson’s postoffice department under still another. Armour & Co. are also conducting a campaign for self-righteousness. It is a peculiar paradox that the funda- .mental business principles of these concerns will not bear the light of day, and that a vast sum of money has been spent in justifying themselves before the public. So far no public- spirited press has volunteered to ex- culpate the Big Five. But one peri- odical carries an advertisement of Ar- mour & Co., and another a page bought by Swift & Co. Thus far, no magazine has carried in the same is- sue advertisements from both con- cerns. . This leads one to believe that their intense competition with each other, their ethical conduct as rivals in busi- ness, exceeds anything so far heard or seen in an intense advertising cam- paign: e : BRYAN IS NOT DISTURBED The North Dakota legislature has passed bills submitting to a vote of the people the question of issuing ‘$17,- 000,000 in bonds for the purpose of financing the various state ownership propositions the Nonpartisan league has fathered. The big dailies are very much worried over the matter, but as it happens to be the people who want these things who are to vote the bonds and pay them it is difficult to see why | the editors outside .should weep so . THE MMONER. for a political party broad enough in scope to guarantee the rights, liber- ties and aspirations of those who toil, for the upbuilding of our great repub- lic, its sacred institutions and the hap- piness and well-being of all its people. “Resolved, further, that we hereby extend our sincere thanks and appre- ciation to the Nonpartisan league and trades unionists of North Dakota, through their able representative, S. S. McDonald, for his concise presen- tation of facts and for his kindly words - of encouragement and good will; and that the secretary of the Illinois state Labor party be instructed to send a copy of these resolutions to the Non- partisan Leader, St. Paul, Minn., the official newspaper of our fellow work- ers in the great Northwest, with the request that they be published so that all who read may realize that the dawn of a new and brighter era is indeed at hand.” Bank Deposits Waters’ Figures Show Big Gains in North Dakota Banks Bismarck Bureau, Nonpartisan Leader. Astonishing gains in bank deposits in North Dakota are revealed in the report of the state bank examiner, J. R. Waters. The report is for the period from January 1 to March 4. Prosperity and public confidence is shown in every figure. One of the most remarkable gains is shown in the column called “time certificates of deposit.” This increase is attributed directly to the sending of money. into the state banks by people who live elsewhere. This practice is caused by the confidence in the stability of the North Dakota banks created by the state guaranty law. . - ; Recent failure of 14 banks in Min- nesota, which does not insure depos- itors, doubtless has encouraged this custom. : The figures for this year on_time certificates of deposit reach the sum of $69,670,995.02. This is a gain of over $6,000,000 compared to a year ago. ; Total assets on March 4 equal $143,- 815,365.19. This is an increase of al- most $2,000,000. - A table showing the general con- dition of prosperity and - financial soundness follows: .
