FRED W. JOHANSEN'S
POLITICAL PLATFORM
Pemnrrtttlc Candidate For the State
BcnMe Iresent UN Views for
Inform Ml on of Voter.
Believing tliat platforms and prin
ciples s'-.oulrt be regarded more In
this rnt"tn than mere party lines,
I feel It my 'hity to briefly state my
platform. The voiers have a right
to know fo Just what things a can
didate stands.
Agriculture
In the first place, agriculture Is
the greatest and most necessary of
all vocations, so I shall be zealous
In protecting the farmers' rights
and ever be on the alert for progres
sive measures that will better farm
conditions especially by eradicating
useless middlemen In bringing the
producer and consumer closer to.
gether, and by collective bargaining,
etc.
Having been born on a farm and
lived there most all my life, I be
lieve that I am In a position to know
the wants and needs, as well as any
body, of those who produce what we
eat and wear.
Bdncntion
No other profession Is more wor
thy than that of the teacher, who
not only trains and educates human
minds, but also molds morals and
character. Something should be
done Immediately to help the condi
tions of the underpaid efficient
school teacher before she Is com
pelled to turn to better paying posi
tions. We need the very best talent
to teach our children in helping
them prepare to take their places in
the business world of tomorrow.
Labor
It is recorded In the Sacred Book:
"In the sweat of thy face sbalt thou
eat bread." We have too many soc
ial leeches, who merely exist and live
from the fruits of others' labor. It
makes no difference whether It be
a farmer, railroad man, or any oth r
legitimate worker, the honest toilers
should be well paid for their serv.
Ices. I believe that good laws should
safeguard their rights.
Women's Right
It is not enough that women
should vote. They must have the
same opportunities and receive the
same wage and consideration as men
in performing like work. Ability and
faithfulness should be the only
means of determining, regardless of
sex. ,
Transportation and 'Travel
Since northwestern Nebraska has
become noted in the production of
livestock, grain, bay, potatoes and
potash (and we expect to add oil in
the near future), transportation is
a vital question, consequently good
roads for trucks and autos are a ne
cessity. I advocate locating them
where most needed to do the best
good to the greatest number, so
there should be no Juggling In
changing location, no building a
road where the cost of its construc
tion would be too enormously great
thereby saving the taxpayers.
Public Utilities
I favor state ownership and opera
tion of packing plants, flour mills,
stock yards, creameries, terminal el
evators and beet sugar factories, in
so far as necessary to restore com
petition and break monopolistic con
trol. Soldiers' Bonus
It is no more than right that those

paid In the main by the hundreds of
millionaires created by th profit,
eerlng dorlnft the war when our bryu
were risking their very lives for hu
inanity's sake. Also, If It Is rid lit
(and It Is) to conscript human be
Irigs in time of war to preserve a na
tion, It is also right to con?crl)t
hoarded wealth to pay the running
f-xpc nse of war.
Profiteering
One of the very worst evils we
have to contend with today is the
ungodly profiteering, which makes
millionaires. They, In turn, breed
rndical reds. Some are so unprinci
pled and devoid of feeling as to
profiteer In t' e very necessities of
life. A mere fine Is not enough
nunlshment. I advocate a Jail sen
fence in addition to the fine. Whin
a banker Is restrained by law from
charging more than a certain rate of
Interest, why not regulate the un
scrupulous business man, too Sin

Weighing the Values.
Telegrams signed by thirty-four
property owners In the wealthy and
exclusive Christmas Lake district,
protesting the leasing of RadlsBon

Health Service for a tuberculosis san
Itorlum for disabled soldiers, were
st nt last night to the surpeon gen

result of an indignation meeting he'd
at the Athletic Club. Minneapolis
Tribune.
Starvation and disease still stall
in wide sections of Europe. WInler
comes on while millions of under
nourished and poverty-stricken peo
ple wait helplessly for the snows
which will bring suffering and death
Into almost every household. In
even the more fortunate countries
there Is a dirge of misery as cold
weather nears.
But apparently there was no spec
ter of Europe's sorrow In the warm !
and brilliantly lighted Minneapolis
Athletic Club during the Indigna
tion meeting In which comfortable,
well-fed folk shuddered at the proB
pect of becoming neighbors to those
broken men who helped isolate world
peril in Europe and kept it from the
threshold of Minneapolis and the rest
of the United States.
Medical authorities agree that a
tuberculosis sanatorium, properly
conducted, Is not a menace to the
health of any adjoining community.
But it seems true unfortunately that
the sense of brotherhood and self
sacrificing charity can only develop
in the Immediate presence of calam
ity. Rich and poor, proud and hum
ble, found themselves kin in the cel
lars of Rhelms and Lens while their
homes were tumbling into ruins from
shellflre. And during the influenza
epidemic In the United States, when
death was touching his victims with
indiscriminate hand, the Golden
Rule was exalted In our national
fortitude.
The good people of Christmas
Lake are concerned lest the sanator
ium for soldiers cause a lowering of
property values. But do they con
sider what they should lose In moral
values by rejecting the creed of the
