It was drawn up by Chairman Dorr Carroll of Minot, with the assistance of Gov- ernor Frazi aston, edi- tor of Townley's ews and two reporters employed on Townley papers, and it was voted through by a handful of employes of state in- as over which Governor Fra- 1 Mr. Townley have absolute The inspiration of thi new control, lution was an article, largely made up reso- t, which had appeared as an y in the New York Herald copied by the St. Paul Dispatch, the Margo Forum and 6 northwestern papers. This interview dealt almost entircly with the activi- ties of Mr. Townley and with the neu- tral attitude of Governor Frazier and i other menibers of the Townley admin- istration toward all things patriotic. There nothing in the interview which was new to the citizens of North Dakota. The one extreme state- ment reflecting on the people of North Dakota was that their patriotism had been reduced to a chaotic condition through the activities of Mr. Townley. Anyone. who followed the course of the O'Hare trial must acknowledge this to be true in sections where Townley's leadership has been blindly accepted. | The Tpdube always has maintained and maintains now that the PEOPLE of North Dakota are loyal and patri- otic. Their patriotism and loyalty never have been questioned. The Tribune does not consider Governor Frazier the PEOPLE of North Dakota nor representative of them. Nor does it so consider Mr. Townley. The Tribune has nat felt that North Da- kota people in the mass have suffered any more through the machinations of Mr. Townley than have the people of Wisconsin because they have a La Follette or the people of Missouri be- cause they have a Stone, or our own people because we have a Gronna. Townley is not even a North Da- kotan. His legal residence is now in St. Paul. If any, state or community are Minnesota and St. Paul. Why not let their state defense council do the whitewashing? North Dakota's de- fense council will have outlived its usefulness when it descends to truck- ling for the favor of Governor Frazier. true that Governor Frazier made tate defense council and that he the power to unmake it, but if this organization is created solely as a defender of Governor Frazier and A.C.

Brand Principal Rep- resentative of Federal Govern- ment at Conference The lateness of morning'trains de- layed through the severe cold, result- ed in a comparatively small attend- ance for the conference on the fed- eral grain grades which commenced in ‘the house chamber at 10:30 this morn- ing, with Charles J. Brand, chief of the United States bureau of ma )<ets, here as a direct representative of the government. The state is represented by the North Dakota railway commission, Dr. E. F. Ladd; chief of the North Dakota grading and inspection service; Dep- uty Chief Inspector J. A. McGovern, Commissioner of Agricalture and |a- bor John N. Hagan and other offi- cers. : Many elevator men and grain grow- ers from the Slope country came in last night. Others arrived during the day on No. 4 from the west and on No. 3 from points to the east. It is anticipated that 200 will be in attend ance when the afternoon session is called to_ order. Brand Defends Grades. Mr. Brand is defending the federal grades, whic!: are generally obnoxious to North Dakota grain growers ana grain Quyers. Mr. Brand points to the fact that of 25,000 cars of 1917 wheat received at the ‘Minneapolis terminals during the last four months 11,454 cars graded No. | northern, while in 1916 only 5.4 per cent of North Da- kota’s wheat graded No. 1 hard, which , corresponds to the present No. 1 nor- | thorn. Dr. F.'F. Ladd, Railway Commis- ‘sioner Bleick and others have called Mr, L'rand’s attention to the fact tha: the 1917 wheat, what there is of it, is an exceptional crop, and that a fhuch’ Higher ‘percentage of — uatrd harvested than in any 6th in the state at crop, er year W16 w readily rec: The grain was light and shrunke: to rust, an: very little of ic graded No, 1 hard. Under tie new | rules probably none of it would have sola as No. 1 northern, it is claimed. Mr. Brand _ still contends, however, that ‘the 1917 grades are more favor- able to the farmer than were the ol. grades of 1916. He holds that only. 17 per cent of the 1917 crop would have graded No. 1 hard under the old reg ulations, waile under the new federal grades &7 per cent of the wheat’ is going into a corresponding grade. ae Basis of Grades. 3 ‘The basis of the new federal grades, ‘grades - were. adopted, he stated, te, give good farmers a premium on wheat. ‘ Record Adopted. Prior to the Fargo hearing, the farmers on Saturday morning went in- to executive session with Dr. Ladd and adopted a series of questions and answers as expressing their views oi the situation. After some discussion with the chief of the bureau of mar- kets the questions and answers were adopted as a portion of the formal action of the conference and were embodied in the record which will go in to Washington. They are as follows: Q. Shall the class designation com- mon and red durum wheat /ve chang- ed, and if so, what siould be substi- tuted? A. The test weights of should be the ‘same as the grades. Q. Shall the subclass red humpback in class 1, and red in class 2, be eliminated? A. The red spring humpback sub- class in class 1 should be eliminated. Q.

Shall the moisture test be clim- , inated? A. The moisture test as an element in the fixing of the grades should be | eliminated, and if elimination is not possible the moisture content should be fixed at not less than 15 per cent. Q. Saall maximum limitation tor total damaged, heat damaged, total inseparable foreign materials, ani spe- cial limitations tor inseparable tor- eign material be changed? . No. 1 wheat may carry 5 per cent damaged kernels, No. 2 may car- ry 10 per cent damaged kernels, ani No. 3 may carry 15 per cent damaged kernels, and anything over 15 per cen. may ve classed as “sample wheat” Wheat No. 1 may carry no heat dam- aged kernels, No. 2 may carry 1-2 us bt per cent, No. 3 1 per cent and over 1 per cenit may be “sample wheat.” Total arounms of inseparables in grades may be 3 per cent for No. 1, ® per cent for No. 2, 7 per cent for No. 3 and over 7 per cent shail class the wheat as “sample wheat.” The percentage of kinghead, corn cockle, vetch, darnel, wild rose, either single com)ines may be 1-2 of 1 per cent for No. 1 1 per cent for No. 2, 3 per jcent for No. 3 and over 3 per cent shall carry the wheat’ into “sample mixed Q.
