— BISMARCK DAILY ;, TRIBUNE rE ee rc ee oar 1,000 AUTOISTS CHEAT STATE AND WAIL FOR ROADS Secretary of State Hall Pays At- tention to Eastern Tier of Dakota Counties BUY MINNESOTA TAGS AT $1.50 FOR 3-YEAR TERM The rank injustice of the attitude of at least 1,000 automobile owners on the eastern frontier of the state who, while clamoring for liberal fed- eral and state aid for the Meridian highway, at the same time cheat the state of North Dakota out of high- way funds by operating their cars under Minnesota licenses, was de- nounced this morning by Secretary of State ‘Hall. Buy in Minnesota. Many of these people, said Mr. all, although living on the Dakota side of the river, get their mail at Minnesota points. They have also been buying their automobile licenses ibere and attaching them to North Dakota cars, although it is absolutely contrary to the law for a resident of ‘North Dakota to operate a car under a@ license procured from another state. By doing this, the car owners get a three-years’ license for $1.50, whereas, in North Dakota the mint- mum this year is $3, and for the two years ensuing will be much higher. All these same people who by these shrewd tactics are depriving the state highway ‘commission of thousands of dollars in fees have been the first to receive favorable consideration for their state and federal aid pro- jects.” One Out of Three. About every third man in the south- eastern part of the state is driving his car without a license, the sec- retary of state added. Kansom, La Moure and Sargent counties were named among the principal offenders. ‘Sargent county has two federal and state aid projects for the henefit of the Meridian trail, which the stata highway commission has approved, and recommended to the United TOWNLEY'S HIDE PRIGKED; FLAYS NEWSPAPER: HEM Continued frum page i. up of Mandan business men who at- tended out of curiosity and took no part in the proceedings. During the entire afternoon there was not presented one plausible argu- ment to prove that any benefits can accrue from the league as now mani- pulated by Czar Townley and fellow socialists. Abuse of opponents and glorification of Townley, with a mo- dicum of praise for Governor Frazier were the order of the day. One enlightening bit of information came from Thomason: “We've been asked what has become of your $6. Well, | can tell you, it has been spent.” Praise for Press. “When 80,000 people in this state, 60,000 of them farmers who never be- fore have had anything to say about the politics of the state, search the state over and select one of them- selves, a man bigger and better and greater than any other governor the state has had, the newspaper man who uses his paper to ridicule that gover- nor insults every man in the state. of the river and not come there to “send a lying story to the Herald, the Forum and every other low-down sheet in the state.” The Governor’s Speeches. “These ghouls,” shouted Townley, “have been charging that I dictate the speeches of the governor—these prostitute newspaper editors.” Frazier, he declared, “is a man so much bigger and better than the editor of The Tribune as is a kindly, elder brother to the low dog who leads a little sister to the brothel.” Saving His Throat. Townley referred to the Herald’s cartoon, in which it portrayed the punishment meted out in other wars to traitors and sowers of sedition. He declared a Fargo paper had supple- mented this cartoon by suggesting that he should be hung, and that Far- go and today were the appropriate place and time. “I am not talking much today,” said the czar, “for | want to keep my throat in condition for tomorrow.” Thomason Stumbles.

EXPENSIVE MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT and OVERSIZED PARTS The PULLMAN motor (four cylinder, L-head, cast en bloc, with over- size valves, husky crank shaft and big crank shaft bearings) is making an amazing reputation for pulling ability. Stromberg carburetion and Dixie, high tension, magneto ignition are expensive, but during fourteen years’ experience building fine cars the Pullman Motor Car Company have never sacrificed quality for quick profit. The PULLMAN has eighty and one-half inches of spring suspension to its 114-inch wheelbase (50/;-inch full cantilever springs what that means in the way of easy riding over any road. .Genuine leather upholstery and deep, French plaited cushions enhance this road luxury. Eleven operations of sand blasting, coating, painting, rubbing and varnishing give the PULLMAN bodies their smooth, sparkling fin- ish of dark green and black. The bodies are PULLMAN factory built, and they are bigger and roomier than most low-priced, 6-cylinder, “7-pas- senger” cars. A WIDE VARIETY OF MODELS IN THE 1917 PULLMAN LINE There are three open pleasure cars—five-passenger Touring, the 4 passenger or “Chummy” Roadster and the convenient 2-passenger Road- ster in both Standard and De Luxe models. The Standard models sell for $765.00 and the De Luxe at $860.00 (both f. 0. b. Factory). We have some valuable territory open for reliable agents in North and South Dakota, Montana, Minnesota, and western Wisconsin. , Write for Literature MORE BROTHERS Fargo, N. D. “The Bismarck Tribune, that prosti- tute of the press,” shrieked Townley, as a prelude to launching a degrading flow of invectives at the head of a representative present, whom Townley urged should have stayed on his side meetings and a fearfully weak effort answer some pointed questions which The Tribune printed on its front page. Thursday evening. ‘He declared the league was not in favor of bonding for the war “because the war should be financed by those people, if there are any, who make profits as a result of the war. On the other hand, the state should bond for public utilities,” he said, “because this is a proposition that earns profits, and these should go back into the concern to reduce costs.” Lies or Ignorance? After which bright bit of wisdom the league poet laureate entered upon a halting explanation of the grain grading ‘ill, during which he intimat- ed that many of the state’s elevators are stealing all the way from 3,000 to 22,000 bushels of grain every year from the farmers. He admitted that the dill will cost the farmer $500,000 or $600,000; that the farmers bear the entire burden of this great, complicat- ed system, and that he probably will be assessed 25 cents for weighing, in- spection and dockage on every load of grain he hauls to market. He did not explain that the act also necessi- tates the weighing, inspection and grading of every bit of farm produce, from a dozen eggs up to a ton of hay. ‘Either from ignorance or deliberate intent to mislead, he asserted that un- der this pill no elevator man can dock and weigh the farmers’ grain, and that, on the other hand, the law does not make weighing and _ inspection compulsory, both of which statements are false. He left with his hearers the impression that the adoption of primed as usual, for Brinton was com- pelled to wait fully a minute before a motion for the adoption of the reso- lutions and a second were forthcom- ing. Then they were adopted with a roar of ayes from the claque, which did good work throughout the meet- ing, although ‘at times it missed con- nections with the proper moment for applause and had to be prompted by the speakers. Frazier spoke last.’ He said he had been criticized for leaving his office two weeks, ‘but believed the people appreciated a good political talk. He pleaded guilty to the charge of stir- ring up class prejudice. ‘The news- papers say I am stirring up class pre: judice and hatred. If they mean the class they represent, I have to plead guilty. The Tribune intimates it would- n’t be quite so bad if the governor had gone out in respectable company. I have to take some chances.” He de- nied having heard any treasonable ut- terances from his associates and ex- pressed pride in their company. He urged that everyone who can, buy a Liberty bond; praised the bank- ers for the good work they are doing in the cause, and declared that he stood now as he did-when war first was declared, for the conscription of wealth, but appreciated the need of the Liverty loan as an emergency mea- sure. NEW BANK WILL the act is entirely optional with the people, dependent upon their willing- ness to build a weigh-house and install scales. Open Season for Editors. He closed with respects to the Her- ald, Forum and Tribune and their “treasonable attacks on the farmers’ organization,” and declared the Her- ald had maliciously lied and misquot- ed.in reporting his Williston talk. It was open season for newspapers which have not swallowed Townley’s socialistic ipecac. J. W. Brinton, for- mer publisher of a weekly newspaper at Beach, and who stands next to Townley in the imperial conclave, led off with a pointed and direct attack on the Mandan Pioneer. Tostevin Gets His. Editor Tostevin fared somewhat bet- ter than the representatives of The Tribune, Herald and Forum, as he was not present to hear Brinton’s tirade. Then at the appointed time a red- sweatered gentleman in the crowd who had acted as end-man for some of Brinton’s blackface stuff, trotted up. a yoluminous set of typewritten reso- lutions, which Mr. Brinton read ag though already familiar. These reso- lutions made a scurrilous attack on State Insurance Commissioner Olsnes¢ for having dared to give a small num- ‘ber of insurance statements for pub- lication to. newspapers which are not dictated to by. Townley. It favored the withdrawal of all public business from the newspapers named, and urg- ed that it be given to league organs. The Tribune, Herald, Forum and Pio- neer again came in for attack as:“en- ; emies. of the people.” Claque Not Well Primed. ‘ The organization was not as well You know Minneapolis, Minn vo HL Ny, OPEN ITS DOORS MONDAY ‘MORNING First Guaranty Ready for Busi- ness—Officers Are Experienced Banking Men The First Guaranty, Bismarck’s fifth banking institution, will open for busi- ness in temporary quarters in the Lahr building, 212 Fourth street, Mon- day morning.

Rich, chairman of the Minneapolis federal reserve bank, has received a letter from Jacob H. Ulvan of Hen- drum, Minn., explaining: in the opin- jon of a practical farmer the reason why agricultural districts did not re- spond satisfactorily to the Liberty loan. The letter says, in part: “The farmer has been looking eag- erly for congress and the government to do something toward warding off starvation. The farmers were asked to do all they could to-raise big crops, and they have done all they could. Not 10 per cent of the farmers, I be- Heve, wanted the country to go into the war. Now, they are being told by the Nonpartisan league that big business is influencing public optnion and controlling the larger newspa- pers. “The farmers do not ‘believe the govérnment is sincere, the writer says, and declares they all fear that after they raised the Jarge crop the government wants, théy, are going to be tricked out of their profits.” LANGER PETITIONS FOR REHEARING IN DUSTER OF REGENTS A formal petition was filed in su- preme court by Attorney General Langer this afternoon for a rehearing in the ouster suit brought by Gover- nor Frazier against the state board of regents, in which the original de- cision was against Frazier-Langer-Tot- ten, et al.
