So far all these moves to inject the
state into business at the expense and
discouragement of the individual, have
been decisively defeated. In Oregon,
advocates of putting the state into the
power business have just failed to get
even enough names on petitions to sub
mit the measure to a vote of the peo
ple
In North Dakota, however, the non
partisan league candidates have recent
ly been victorious in a state election.
This is the same league that a few
years ago led North Dakota into a
maze of socialistic undertakings from
which the state has not yet extricated
itself. How far it will attempt to go
in re-establishing its old doctrines no
one knows. There is some agitation in
political circles in several other sec
tions of the country to bunch the
state into various branches of the in
surance business. And so it goes o/er
the country. The agitations which an

might be likened to the fleas on a dog
—they demand constant effort to
counteract their irritating effect.
