SHEET METAL AND RADIATOR WORKS MAIN ST PHONE 756 BISMARCK Fo OWES $3500 NOTE AT FARGO BANK New Indebtedness Cropping Up Daily From North Dakota Department of Expense GOVERNOR IN THE DARK Frazier Takes Matter Up With Brown, Declaring He Knew Nothing of Obligation Altho the state council of defense, engineered by Thomas Allan Box and John B. Brown, the latter now secre- tary of the workmen’s compensation, bureau, has gone out of existence, tha memory lingers, about the state house. A pleasant reminder came to State: Auditor Kositzky this morning in a letter from the cashier of gse Scan- dinavian-American bank of Fargo, re- turning a canceled note for $3,000 ex- ecuted in behalf of the council of de- fense by Thomas Allan Box on De- cember 18, 1918, and advising the state auditor that the bank holds in $3,500, which is long overdue, and on which the bank would like to have its money. The special session of 1918 provid- ed the council of defense with a lib- eral appropriation. In addition to the funds it derived from the state, the council handled, presumably at a Great profit, the government war pic- tures which it exhibited all over North Dakota at a substantial admis- sion fee.‘ The first of the current year, however, found the council broke, and with a deficit, according to Secretary Brown, of $3,500. The leg- is lative assembly therefore supplied the council with an emergency ap- Propriation of $5,533, to cover operat- ing expenses until May 1 and to take up the deficit. All of this emergency appropriation has now been expended. It was thought by the state auditor that when he forwarded a voucher of $3,- 366.30 to the Scandinavian-American bank to take up Box’s note of Decem- ber 18, 1918, that he was cleaning up the last of the council of defense’s large accumulation of debts. The state auditor knew nothing of the additional note for $3,500 until. he re- ceived a letter from the bank. enclos- ing ‘one canceled note and ‘asking im- mediate payment on the other. Mr. Kositzky immediately referred is ex-officio chairman of the council of defense. The new note for $3,500 was @ mystery to the governor, he ad- vised Mr, Kositzky, but fe. promised to take the matter up with John. Brown. and discover what he knew of the council. of defense’s financial methods. In. addition to this note for: $3,500, there are now outstanding, according to Mr. Brown's own confession, a batch of printing bills whose aggre- gate has not been revealed to the state - auditing board. Secretary Brown made this revelation when he was requested to O.

O. Archibald, of the department of jus- tice, Ottawa, administrator of the do- minion parole system, who ‘has just completed an inspection of Stony Mountain penitentiary and will visit Penal institutions in westerm cities. He stated that of the 742 :persons’ released on parole from Canadian prisons during the past fiscal year, only one-half of one per cent had committed offenses. During the. 20 years’ operation of the parole system 11,845 prisoners had been released conditionally. Of that number 10,434 had earned full liberty, and 701 were reporting with that object in view. In that time men who had forfeited their. Mcenses by subsequent convictions numbered only 273, or 2.5 per cent. Those who had not done anything to get themselves into a police court but had failed to comply with parole con- ditions, such as reporting monthly during probation, numbered 437, mak- ing 8 total delinquency of only 5.9 per cent, ANTI - HOPPER CAMPAIGN CUT DOWN DAMAGE Grand Forks, N.

In other words, while the. price of beef ani- mals to the farmer has been declin- ing, the price ‘of. beef to the public has been increasing in many locali- ties. In 1914 the United States ex- ported 151,000,000 pounds of beef, but {i 1918 we were able to. export 590,- 000,000 pounds because of the stimu- lated. production;*"* According to..Secretary Ousley, the Price for medium.,and good beef steers on “foot at’ Chicago averaged, ber pound, as follows: March 1, 1919, 13.50 to 18.50 cents.

Secrétary ‘Ousley answers this in the following words: “These prices are not, justified by the wholesale quota- tions.” een More than that - he: points out that hides have advanced.ip price from 43 per cent to as much as 80 per cent over the price fdr March 1. This would mean an offset of about 70 cents per hundred weight in the wholesale cost of meat, while the cost for stearin, tallow and other by-prod- ucts added to the increased cost of hides, brings the total.savings on beef costs up to about 1 cent per pound since March 1.
