EMMONS COUNTY RECORD LINTON, NORTH DAKOTA

Pabllsher.

Bnmona Conty 1884

'he Record Is entered at the Zilnton, North Dakota Post Office as soeond

20 cents per column Inch for sin&le insertions. IS cents tor contract space. Ten cents per inch for composition.

\ IjoeaUi Ten cents per line for one In­sertion.

8 The Record circulates thoroughly In r'-the south half at the county, and qxrtte .generally throughout the north half.

Advertising copy should be In the bands of the printer not later than Tuesday noon of each week.

Foreign Advertising Representative THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION

Th3 Reord would like to have a steady correspondent at Strasburg, one at Hull and one at Westfield. Who'll help out.

The print paper situation is get­ting more serious daily. The last is-aue of the Record before election had a narrow escape We were complete­ly out of paper and only succeeded at the last minute in getting one bundle by express to handle that issue. And, at present we have only a supply to Jasfc a couple of weeks. The Rec­ord will attempt to keep within eight pages until the paper stringency is removed.

Independent republicans and demo­crats throughout the state are busy perfecting plans for a fight in the fall campaign that is likely to complete the elimination of the Townley polit­ical machine. The time seems ripe for a change. Many voters like to be on the "band wagon," but with the Townley machine slipping as it did in the June campaign, the "band­wagon' riders will be found on the other side.

It is said that Waters, Bri.iton and Halliday aire preparing to give to the public some of the inner workings of the state government since Townley lias been at the helm. Waters, es­pecially, and Brinton are in position to bring some startling charges.

Three of the five returned soldiers running for state office in the recent primary election were defeated for office. Richardson, leaguer, and Krueger and the Record man, inde-dependents, were the losers. Jack Williams, indpendent, and adjutant of the American Legion in this state, landed as railroad commissioner. Poindexter, follower of Lester Bar­low and the so-called World War Veterans, landed as state auditor. Poindexter won by only about a •thousand over Kositzky.

13,400 claims on hand, and many oth­ers not yet filed. So it is sasy to see that the law will have to be changed, or else many of the return­ed service men will have a good healthy wait for their money. Har­ry Lynn and Otto Becker are among the local service men who have se­cured the money.

Barring rust, or hail, the crcps in this part of the county should be ex­cellent this year. Then, if wheat stays as high as $2.00, there should be prosperity aplenty among the far­mers .

The final election returns fr^m F-" mons and Kidder counties on the leg­islative fight place three Townleyites and one anti among the winners. Harding and Anderson are nomin­ated from Emmons, and Weld, and Sherman from Kidder. Weld was '2 votes ahead of Baumgartner on the total vote of the two counties af-:<;r the canvassing boards completed theifl wark. It is said, however, that irregularities in one voting pre­cinct in Kidder may cause that pre­cinct to be thrown out This would make Baumgartner a nominee in place of Weld.

Seven offices went to the indepen­dents in the recent election, and ton to the Townleyites. Not so bed. Especially, when the antis won on the initiated and referred measures, "he independents will likely contrc* the house of representatives, too.

It looks like no more smelling com­mittees.

There is talk of initiating some four or five new laws this fall, one of the proposed measures to allow publication of legal notices in other than the league newspapers.

Seeman Pairk is proving to be one of the most popular recreation spots in the county. Picnic parties may be seen there at almost any time. Boating and swimming, too, are prov­ing immensely popular. A few years more and that Park will be one of the most valuable of Linton's acquisi­tions .

Some 1,600 bonus claims have been allowed in this state to data, and the authorities say that the limit has been coached for this year. There are st

It is an eye-opener to make a drive around the city and see how many new residences are in the course of construction, despite the high price of labor and of materials. A couple of new brick business places also tend to show that the town is continuing to build up.

The Record is looking forward to the day in the future when it can af­ford a modern brick and tile office. We are only waiting for a little more reasonable figure on building sup­plies, as well as assurance that an independent newspaper can exist un­der the present form of state govern­ment.

A Hampton citizen ordered the Record sent to six of his neighbors, last week, from now until Nov. 1st.

Many thanks.

It is easy to see just what kind of "news" will be dished out to the people of this county should the time come that the only paper in existence would be the local league organ.

Despite the fact that the Townley forces lost seven of the sixteen candi­dates for office, and despite the fact that the referred laws, were defeatad by a mammoth majority, the only were coming from the local league or­gan to its readers is that the Town­leyites won with the possible excep­tion of secretary of state. This in­formation appeared in the July 7th issue, and nothing further was added in the July 14th issue.

The league headings were as fol­lows: ^"Gov. Frazier wins again. Bal­

ance of ticket also carried, with pos­sible exception of'secretary of state. All the forces of misrepresentation did not deceive the people, and the good old doctrine of democracy still prevails. Returns from 1984 pre­cincts, out of 2064 in the state, give Gov. Frazier a majority of 5356. The other 80 precincts are considered strong nonpartisan league territory and are expected to swell the gover­nor's majority to about the 7,000 mark."

Now, what are the facts? Miss Nielson led the league candi­

date by more than 10,000. Christian-son is ahead of the league candidate for sumpreme court. Hall is several thousand votes ahead for secretary of the state. John Steen defeated the socialist, Walker, for state treasurer. Jack Williams deieated Dupuis, leaguer, for railroac commissioner.. Burtness and Young defeated Baer and Pendray for congress.

In addition, the smelling commit­tee, the state sheriff, and the absent voters' proposed law wei:e defeated by more than 10,000 majority. The red flag biM, that two league legis­latures refused to pass, was made a law by a vote of about two to one. In addition, dozens of league candi­dates for the legislature were defeat­ed, many of them prominent expon­ents. of the secret caucus during the past four years.

"The good old doctrine of democ­racy still lives." Yep, it rather looks that way. And it also further ap­pears that the socialist party can soon withdraw from the republican ranks, and again put its own ticket in the field, for the socialist contingent will likely be insufficient from now on to cast the balance of power in the re­publican primaries for Townley and his socialist machine. v

The Record man asked Sen. Ward to meet him in debate, before the pri­maries on the question that the lieagus was organized and controlled by resi­dent and non-resident socialists. Sen. Ward answered that such a question was irrelevant and had nothing to do with the "fanners ' economic pro­gram.'' We believe it has very much to do with the "farmers' economic program," and we further believe that it is just the reason that the Town ley socialist machine is doomed to early disruption.

When a socialist delegate to a so cialist convention who has registered as a socialist prior to ths organiza­tion of the socalled nonpartisan league can be picked up by the Town-ley machine and come within a thous­and or so of being nominated as the republican candidate for state treas­urer, is it possible for the individual property owner to question tha atti­tude of those in control of the league destinies.

Fay Harding himself is a socialist at heart. Yat he pretends to be a republican for political purposes. Weld, of Kidder, who baraly nosed out Baumgartner, is also a dyed-in-the-wool socialist. We wonder how many of the republican farmers of this legislative district appreciate that fact ?

Our attention has bean called to a claim that was made in the local league newspaper that some sharp practices were resorted to on election day, and voters from Gayton pre­cinct inform the Record that the league paper's charges ware well' founded, and that in Gayton precinct the league inspector himself peddled stickers to voters as they arrived in the interests of his own candidacy for precinct committeeman.

DECLARE PRICE CUTS ARE FUTILE

Many Retailers Assert Movement Will Result In Higher

Prices Later.

WILL BE SHORT LIVED k> '

Denounce Campaign For Reduction As Only Temporary Relief—Wearing

Apparel Only Commodity Af­fected Thus Far.

Chicago—While price cutting in wearing apparel continued in various parts of the country, merchants in sev­eral cities denounced the campaign as a futile step. toward reducing high prices and predicted' tne movement would be short lived and result In higher prices later. ' They asserted the reductions could not be maintain­ed because the merchant did not con­trol the cost of manufacture and that when stocks were depleted market •prices would have to be paid for new stock.

Banking interests in New York ex­tended their campaign of deflation of credits and high commodity prices, carrying out their pledge to the Fed­eral Reserve board. Pressure exerted by banks in the wholesale dry goods and general merchandise districts was said to be responsible for price cutting in the retail trade.

Banks were .reported to have sent word to importers and dealers in lux­urious articles of apparel and manu­facturers of so-called non-essentials that only moderate financial accom­modation could be expected now.

The price cuts largely were confined to wearing apparel. A newspaper ad­vertisement by a Newark clothing con­cern denounced price cutting as "an economic mistake," asserting that "it is economically unsound to sell mer­chandise today for a price which is less than we can buy it from the mak­ers anywhere. What the world needs is greater production, not the drastic sacrifice of retail prices." Several Milwaukee merchants characterized the movement as -a "circus stunt" '

FIGHT FOR PROFIT TAX To Be Reneewd In House By

South Dakota Solon.

Demand For Retroactive Levy To Create Bonus Fund For 8oldiers

• To Be Pushed! :

Washington—The fight for the 1m position of a retroactive tax on war profits to help in the creation of a bonus fund for soldiers will t>e re­newed by Representative Royal John­son of South Dakota when the Repub­lican conference meets.

Johnson stated that with the elimina­tion of the sales tax from the revenue features of the bill, he would not vote against it; but he insisted that ther« should still be a tax on war profit* and asserted that he and his followers could i count on at least 70 votes favor lng a tax on war profits.

Violent' objections presented to the Republican members of the ways and means committee by Representative Walter H. Newton of Minneapolis and W. H. Canby, representing the Chi­cago Board of Trade, against the pro­posed increased tax on future trades in grain are said to have brought about a change of sentiment in the committee. One member of the com-mitee said that the tax, which as agreed to by the committee was esti­mated to produce $20,000,000 Instead of $2,000,000 may either be dropped al­together or materially reduced. He also said it might be left to the Sen­ate for amendment.

From other sources on the commit­tee it was stated that there would be a hard fight on the floor over the mat ter and that it was uncertain whether the proposed tax trill be eliminated.
