'THE VANCOUVER WEEKLY COLUMBIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1920. Vancouver Calumbian in Advance $1.50 COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER Catered in the Postoffice at Vancouver, Washingtol, for Transportation TELEPHONES: 652, Editorial Rooms 653, Business Office Established 1889. Permanent, Home: Odd Fellows Building The Portland Journal has beer running a series of lead editorials on the activities of the Non-partisan league of North Dakota. They are not only well written but show that the writer has assembled a great deal of valuable data which the Columbian believes will be interesting to both foes Wind friends of the movement. The following is reprinted from last nights Portland Journal: WHEN THE LEAGUERS COME.

The program of the league for the state of W. hington is outlined 111 an address delivered by a league organizer at school house in Clarke county, a stenographic report of which 15 in the possession of The Journal. It is highly advisable for all to know exactly what is proposed by the league for these Northwest states. It is better to know in advance of the Oregon invasion just what sort of program the existing business order is to meet when the leaguers come. When they know just what is proposed, the world of private business will know what line of defense to adopt.

Hitherto, all discussions of the league have been confined to denunciation and condemnation without any statement as to the nature and purposes of the organization. As has been said repeatedly in these articles, that plan has univerrally failed, as the increasing and spreading momentum of the move ment shows. In outlining the program for Washington, the league organizer at the Clarke county schoolhouse said: I will take up the program el the Non -partisan league for the atate of Washington. The first feature in that program is state owned powder fartory and packing plants, canneries, creameries, milk condensaries, terminal elevators and flour mills. That means owned and operated by the state.

It built and owned by the state at cost and operated for the benefit of producers and consumers alike. Instead of shipping your cate into a privately owned you will ship them into a state owned sard. where vou will ship them into a state owned yard, where you will have the privilege of selling to a private packer and if you want to, under the Non-partisan league program, you can order them to state owned packing plans, and they will be slaughtered there for you and warehouse receipts, will be issued you and you can borrow 75 per those receipts the bunk. You can get 75 per cent of the value centhem at the time you put them in thewarehoue, and they will still beJong to you. The hides of your cattle and the meat still betong to you and you can order them out into the market at any time you want.

The enabling act which the state of North Dakota adopted for owning and and operating packing plants and cold storage warehouses is broad -that the state if so desired, handle the meat all the time from The moment the cow arrives in the stock yards until it is placed in the hands of the ultimate cons amer Describing the next plank the program for the state of Washington, the speaker said: The next plank in the program is torininal elevators, state owned warehouses and storage plants for rays, fruit, potatoes and other farm products. The farmers in the state of North Dakota haul their grain into a state licensed warehouse and elevator. Whom you want to gO into the grain buying business, you may take an exammation in grain grading. After passing this examination, a license is issued to you upon receipt of the sum of $10. You are permitted then to go out and buy grain.

If, for some cause or reward. you should grade some farmer's wheat at No. 2, when it should be No. according to the state grading, then you will have to refund to the farmer the difference between No. 1 and No.

2, and on top of that license let oked and you can buy no more grain in the state of North Dakota. In the league program is the state ownership and distribution of water power. As explained by the ingue organizer in his address, it is as follows: That means that the state will seize and own and develop all undeveloped water mites within the borders of the state. The state will operate the sites distribute electricity to the people of the state at cost. A foreign conporation controls all the power plants this state a the present time.

It: headquarters are in England and it hindquarters are in the Columbia river. and you are paying 13 cents per KW. hour. and Tacoma offers to sell juice for all purposes at one cent per KW. hour.

The state will seize all undeveloped power sites and build on them and operate the thing for the good of the people. There power plants held out of use in the state of Washington enough electricity by the Stone wade Webster people to outfit a company to build a great white way all the from Seattle to New York city and to build street car system: on that white way and operate them for the free use of everyone who wishes to travel: and under this now syston, proposed by the Non fariner will be -partisan league. every given electricity at cost, and it is all yours and will be But they won't let you have it now are other planks in the program for the state of There will be presented in a later article. As will be Washington that noted, the plan provides for state owned and state operated grain warehouses, elevators, milk condens aries, packing plant canneries, creameries. cold other tsorage and various enterprises now owned and conducted by private business.

It revolutionary plan, which. strikes directly at much private business and 15 which is purposed to give farmers direct access to consumer: on a basic beyond the actual cost of distribution In the address of the non is no mention of the state operated chains of organizer there are of the a state bank, such stores and a part North Dakota plan.

NEW ENGLAND FARMER SEEKS 1-LEGGED WORKER New York, April one with two sound, active legs can hold job. A farmer living in New England has written the American Land Service, which is recruiting farm workers here, asking for help during the summer, but restricting the applicant to one leg. The idea is that there may be a wounded soldier who answers the qualification.

The farmer insists also that the applicant be married, the wife to assist in the household duties. The special reason for the pedal limitation appears from the farmer's letter. "I am well aware of what a onelegged man is able to do," he wrote. "I have been minus a leg for 50 years and have always made good. I do not expect the man to do what I cannot do or have not done."
