Rawhide Shoes Representative of Mikado’s:Government Comes From New York to Investigate Farmer Movement APAN, known as “Yankee of the Orient,” is the first foreign gov- ernment to be interested enough in the greatest political and economic movement of the day to send a repre- sentative to investigate it. T. Maeda, councillor of the department of the in- terior of Japan, recently came to North Dakota, visiting in Fargo and in Bismarck, where he met Governor Lynn J. Frazier and other state offi- cials. Although France has asked for copies of the North Dakota home building law and other states of the Union have asked for copies of other legislation, Japan is the.first fotelgn nation to be interested enough in the entire League program to investigate it all at first hand. Speakmg recently at the weekly luncheon in Governor Frazier’s oflice, Mr. Maeda said: “I wish a most hearty development to the Nonpartisan league. I wish all “the men who are working in it the best success, for this. movement holds out a bright future to all interested—in economic and political questions.” HEARD IN NEW YORK OF N. D. EXPERIMENT Mr. Maeda has spent several months studying labor, agricultural and eco- nomic conditions in Europe, and is now closing a tour of three months study- ing those questions in America. “While- in New York,” said Mr. Maeda, “I heard much about the ‘ex- periment in democracy’ that North Dakota is makmg. I read much about your state in the leading magazines. So I decided to come here and to the other headquarters of the movement, watch causes and results at close range, meet the farmer officials and their associates and discuss the funda- mental issues of the League with its leaders. “The principle of state ownership is attracting very favorable mention in my own country, and I am glad to see and to watch the state that is taking the lead in it in the United States. “Our people realize that we must all live for all. We know that we can not be selfish-and that we must often personally sacrifice some things so that the whole people may benefit. Our people are very collectivistic and are more and more being infused with giving Overcomes all es old, cracked or an 50,000 put on Ford cars in last three 10 days free on your Ford.

PAGE 'rwm.vz o State ownership, without democracy, is not worth much. We riotice an example of that in Ger- many. Because that country was a despotism, the empire fell. “But here you have something dif- ferent, as far as I have been able to find out. In North Dakota you have a democracy where the majority rules and here you may well apply those principles.” Mr. Maeda told of conditions in his-- own country, which was- opened to civilization as early as 1859. He told how the people threw off the remnants of feudalism and made this country what it is today. He asserted that now 98 -per cent -of the children in Japan go to school. He also mention- ed the rise of labor:y ions. - - “We are close to 0t ideal here and we must watch ourselves the more closely because of that. We must abide always by the will of the ma- jority of the people and what they wish to do.” Mr. Maeda met Governor Frazier, went around to various offices- and asked question after question about the laws passed by the farmer legis- lature. He was especially interested _in the referendum and asked for a copy of the referendum law. Mr. Maeda had a talk with Governor Frazier and many- features of the North Dakota movement were made more clear to him. BAR FARMERS’ MEETINGS , Dayton, Wash. .Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I inclose a page of the Columbia Chronicle, for which I write South Touchet items. They recently pub- lished with these items an account of the first meeting conducted by a Non- . partisan league lecturer in Walla Walla county, at the PettyJohn school near Prescottin : Star school in Columbia:s **The use of the courthouse was refused to the farmer ~audience. This is the second time that the farmers have been refused the. use of the courthouse for their meetings. Just before the end of the war the county agricultural agent was asked to speak on smut in wheat before a large audience of farmers in the courthouse one Sunday evening. However, per- mission to use the building was de- nied because it was- Sunday, despite the fact that chautauqua meetings were permitted on Sunday. MRS. M. E. PETTYJOHN. FROM A SOLDIER Norfolk, Va. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I have studied your paper and be- lieve it to be an educational paper of the highest type. I would like to get your paper in the hands of our vet- erans so that when they frame new ideas they will frame them for the benefit of the country. If there is an organization that has done more for the returning soldier than the Nonpartisan league, I do not know of it. North Dakota has passed the most liberal bill of any state for the men. Senator A. J. Gronna and Congress- man John M. Baer are fostering the most popular and just gratuity bill before our mational lawmakers. W. B.
