Author Description

Excerpt from Pacific Service Magazine, Vol. 14: June, 1922 May, 1923 Mr. President and Gentlemen: When we discuss the so-called California Water and Power Act, we discuss one of the main provisions of the working program of the California branch of the Non Partisan League of North Dakota. This organization has adopted the so-called act as its own child, and hails it as the first step in the, accomplishment of the League's program for state owned and Operated railways, factories, mills, storage plants, packing houses, creameries, sugar and oil refineries, banks and insurance companies. Identification of the scheme with the brand of thinking which soviet izad Russia and brought disaster upon North Dakota is thus made clear and unmistakable. The proposed measure is misnamed. It is not' an act but a constitutional amendment. If adopted by the people at next November's election, it becomes at once a part of the state constitution, forever beyond the power of the Legisla ture to alter, amend or control in any way. Not a single provision, no matter how disastrous it may prove to be, can ever be changed except by vote of the people at another election.
