This corporation also has been given control of the North Dakota lignite industry. No one in North Dakota has paid much attention to the North Dakota Council of Defense corporation. . This body was organized about a month ago, by the council of defense, whose members constituted themselves di- rectors of the new company and vot- ed themselves control of the organiza- tion until such time as two-thirds of the stockholders shall vote them out. The stockholders at the present time are confined t0 the fourteen members of the.state council. Shares are to be sold at one dollar, and there are a million of these shares. The company is non-profit-sharing, ‘purely benevo- lent,” as gne member of the state council puts. it. The plan of.elevator control came from McGovern of the grain grad- ing department at Fargo. Its prin- cipal champion ‘before the council. of defense. was Howard R. Wood, speak- er of the last house of representa- tives, and present league candidate for lieutenant governor... The scheme had been fully explained and approv- ed in the league’s North Dakota news- Paper organ before it was presented to the state council, and the fatter, presented few objections. Several days were devoted to drawing up a plan of Operation, which when submitted was adopted with little comment. Dakota’s 2200 elevators will be -con- centrated fn local committees, to con- sist of two townspeople, two farmers and a fifth person to be selected by these four. This committee will take over all elevators in its community and will appoint one man to manage the entire group. The owners of the elevators, whether they be farmers’ co-operative associations or line ele- vators, will be paid a reasonable rent- al, based upon the actual. physical valuation. Inasmuch as the actual as- sessed valuation of farmers’ élevator plants usually has been very low, the average rental fee will not be great. In towns where there are now five elevator ianagers and five distinct staffs, under the new plan there will be but one manager and one staff of helpers, who will operate all of the elevators. There will be a central point for weighing and grading, and USUAL SHOWN Conditions: Continue ' Satisfae- tory, Says Federal Re- serve Board ‘Washington, July 11.—Business con- ditions continue active and satisfac- tory with general confidence express- €d in the future denoted by liberal ad- vance buying according to the federal reserve board's monthly summary is- sued today, based on reports from the twelve federal reserve distric Labor shortages are emphas the reports from every ‘the (Minneapolis territ situation is describe: were reported to bé all districts in the Da district.

BUY W. 8, S,——— VACATIONISTS NOT SUBJECTED TO STIFF QUIZ Canadian Immigration Authori- ‘ties Clear Up Erroneous Impression where the AS Goud, ' Crops aural in Ottawa, - » July 11—Canadian immigration authorities inva state- n- @ous impression that citizens of :he United States coming to Canada for the vacation season, are subjected to un unnecessarily rigid examination at Ont. ‘The - examination, . the - statement iteally.as it has been for ’ the. en- thence the grain will be delivered to the different ‘elevators. One plant may be reserved for one type of wheat, while another elevator will receive a different type. The Defens Council corporation claims that weighing and grading may be done more systemat- ically and the grades separated more satisfactorily. It is also claimed that the corporation plan will overcome difficulties now existing where small elevators have found it difficult or too expensive to put in all the grad- ing equipment which the government tests require. Wheat and other grains will be bought on a safe margin, the cost of handling and ‘the rental of the eleva- tors, salaries of managers and as- sistants and proportionate : expense accruing to. the defense corporation will be deducted, and any ‘surplus remaining in the hands of the com- mittee at the end of the season will be pro-rated among all those who have sold grain through the local commit- tee. The defense council holds that its committees, reducing overhead ex- pense to a minimum and paying but one manager's salary in each town, where now there may be.as many as a dozen, can do business on a closer margin than any private or co-oper- ative..coycern and that whereas the elevator cost, of handliug.a bushel of wheat under the present plan has been as high..as 11 cents, cost’ under the new system of te control should not exceed and average of 2 cents.’ The difference of 9 cents per bushel, says the defense council, will go to the farmer. The board of trustees to be selected by the community from city and coun+ trywill have full control locally, em= ploying the manager ‘and; other: help- ers. Present employes: of elevators who are ‘not needed under ‘the new plan will be released for other work. Over the whole system the North Da- kota Council of Defense corporation, born of the council of defense, yet distinct in law from it, will have jur- isdiction, The same plan will be applied to creameries and cream stations. business will be handled through lo- cal boards of trustees, selected by the community, with the approval of the defense corporation. In each local- ity one man will manage the entire creamery business, and excess em- profits accruing from the manage- ment will be pro-rated among the cream producers. In the matter of lignite, the mines are not to be taken over, for the pres- ent, at least, The project is one of distribution, the defense council cor- poration announces, It is planned to conduct a campaign of publicity, which the lignite producers will fin- ance, and the present intention is to establish a distributor in every town and village in. the state, providing there is no distributing agency al- ready on the job, or if such already established agency “refuses to co-op- erate.” Co-operation will . consist principally in producing the sinews of war and in investing in a share or two of the corporation's non-divi- dend-paying stock. In exchange for this support, the corporation will ad- vertise lignite coal, relying upon the patriotic press of the state for liberal tfee publicity; will take up and thresh out traffic problems, go into the mat- ter of price-fixing and do other things which the corporation contends can best be done through the well recog- nized “trust,’ form of control. The defense council corporation will not concern itself with the distribution of anthracite or bituminous coal, but will concentrate its efforts on the ex- clusion of imported coals, by educat- ing the people of the state.to burn the native fuel.
