REFUTES LIES U. L. Burdick, head of the North Dakota Farm Bureau federation, who is NOT a Nonpartisan leaguer, in a recent statement to a farm paper of the Pacific Coast said: The state of North Dakota is not bank- rupt; in fact, no state in the Union owes as little state debt per capita as North Da- kota. Our state debt does mnot exceed $1 per quarter section of land. You hear much about 40 banks closing in North Da- kota, What closed the banks ef North Da- kota? The banks in North Dakota closed for the reason that the farmers around the banks closed first. Years of crop failures, running as high as five straight in some sections of the state, together with the price of the 1920 crop slightly over half of the cost of production, simply put hun- dreds of farmers out of busniess. . So it wasn’t Townley that did it! ADVERTISEMENTS A New Oil Lamp Free g Burns 94% Air N. H. Johnson, 609 W.

We pay our dues and then don’t even read the paper that is sent to us to keep us posted. When in Nebraska last winter a farmer said he was not going to renew his member- ship because he had been to a sale and they had told him all kinds of things (naming some) and he had to take it because he could not answer them. I said: “Do you read your League papers?” He said: * “No, I haven’t got time.” There are hundreds of you who don’t take three minutes time a day to read your papers, and that is all you need to spend to be posted. Most of you think all you have to do is to pay your dues and then “let George do it.” If you would quit talking about the short crops and the low prices and would talk politics to your wife and family and to your neighbor, you would soon get better prices for everything you have to sell. If farmers don’t wake up soon, they will find that the other fellow who is in - politics will own them body and soul, and you will work for him and eat humble pie. You know-that you are only worth 50 cents from your neck down, but there is no limit to what you are worth from your neck up. So use your head and see what headway you will make. ; Next year is at the door and we have a big fight coming. Are you pre- pared to help? Let’s start something and make the-membership 100 per cent by spring. Are you mad enough to take off your coat and wade in? How many of you are willing to help? Now all together. JULIUS H. BENDER. Fergus Falls, Minn. A NEW FRIEND Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I will admit that I do not belong to the Non- partisan league, but I have advocated the principles it stands for as explain- ed in your issue of August 22, which fell into my hands today. The doc- trine taught in it meets with my red- hot approval. Our lawmakers, both state and na- tional, are crazy in squandering the people’s money preparing for another war. Therefore it behooves the pro- ducers in all lines to call a halt and unite in our endeavors to bring mat- ters back on a line of justice to the whole people.

W. J. LONG. GOOD IDEA Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Why not promote the sale of union made goods direct to the people? The same agents selling such goods could sell subscriptions to the Nonpartisan Leader and Russell’s book on the League. Farmers should by all means help to find markets for union labor’s bonds. We want their goods. . KNUTE CHRISTENSON. Benedict, N. D. BIG CONFERENCE The Public Ownership league of America will hold its big annual con- ference in Chicago, November 19, 20 and 21. The Nonpartisan league will participate by sending speakers and delegates.

Senator LaFollette, Con- gressman Keller of Minnesota (labor) and other big men in the progressive and public ownership movement, will also speak. Leaguers are cordially in- vited to attend, both by the Public Ownership league and national League headquarters. Public owner- ship of banking and transportation facilities will be among tie chief top- ics discussed. . ; THE SEARCHLIGHT In its current issue, the Searchlight (Washington, D. C.) puts into one comprehensive picture the outstanding official facts which show what Hard- ing and the “old guard” are doing. The Republican legislative program— the tariff, the taxes, tucking the farm- ers into bed with the railroads, re- pealing the excess profits tax, the foreign loan refunding bill—all these measures are” revealed in their rela- tions to the public welfare in the cur- rent issue of this valuable publication. The personnel of the American dele- gates to the disarmament conference is also discussed from the point of view of their previous attitude toward militarism and secret diplomacy.
