a 7 THIRTY-NINTH YEAR THE BISMARCK T RIBUNE | LAST EDITION BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA. FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1921 PRICE FIVE CENTS ASSEMBLY WILL PRE-WAR PRICES FOR FULLY DISCUSS STATE BUSINESS Industries to Be Subject of De-| liberations in Both Houses | BANKERS TALK HERE Conference With State Officials on Legislation on | Today The state industries .their manage- ment and future will be thoroughly discussed by the legislature. Proposals from the Nonpartisan | side and from the independent side! assured this today. From the start of the gathering of legislators here, | Nonpartisans took the position that| there was nothing to be done with re- | gard to them. The situation today is; changed, however. i The proposal was made in the senate by Nonpartisan that a committee of five independent and five Nonpartisans be named to consider the best means of aiding the state industries. The house called for the report of | the accountants employed by the state board of auditors. This followed the | new organization of the auditing | board, which elected William Lemke chairman and D. C. Poindexter secre- | fa and called for all the records of ; he board as previously constituted. | Baukers Here The special committee of the bank- ers association, the legislative com- mittee and the bankers-state officials | committee is conferring today with re- gard to legislation needed to make pos- sible the sale of bonds of the state. | The general conference was set for late today. The bankers—-state officials meet- ing here follows a meeting in Fargo. | Bankers laid bare the information they gathered in trips east to try to sell the! bonds of the Bank of North Dakota and to sell Londs. Their information in brief, is that the eastern investors go to the bottom of any organization to which they may loan millions of dollars, and that they want safeguards thrown about any in- vestment they may make. Trust funds must be held intact and! apart, to assure investors that their) loans will be repaid. Laws that per- mit the diversion of funds, or that en-| danger the security through use of | funds for businesses which may or} may not be successful, must be re-| pealed. Their investments must be} subject. to. the whims of politics. | Senate Committee The senate committee on ways and! means of aiding state industries, if| named, will, without doubt, want full| information as to the status of the’ industries before it makes recom-| mendations. Such an action would, bring the state industries before the| senate. | The house insists that it must have | the report of the accountants of the, state board of auditors. With this re-| port independent members believe! they will be better able to make their’ decision as to what action is necessary to the state industries. PREUS’ IDEA TAKES WITH N. D. SOLONS, Reference to Marketing of Farm Producs Attracts Attention Here i Farmer members of the Legisla- tue are seuaying carefully the por- tion of the message of Governor Preus of Minnesota, referring to develop- ment of cooperative organizations in the state and especial.y those having to do with the marketing of grain. ~ The Minnesota chief executive ad- vocated that the local co-operative or- ganizations form a selling company which could have a seat on the grain exchanges under the present rules as this selling company would pay it dividends to the co-operative compan- ies holding stock in it and these com- panies could distribute profits in pat- ronage dividends or any other way. ‘Exchange rules prohibit _ members from making patronage dividends. “Yo will redeem the pledges mad« in the recent campaign,” he says, “if you instruct the state department of agriculture to assist the farmers in organizing local and terminal co-op erative selling agencies, and in addit ion thereto equip the department with luicans alid experts to make such as sistance efficient and effective. “The department of agriculture in conjunction with the farmers cooper- ative organization might develop a wiain sening exchange. Minnesota has approximately four hundred co- operative elevators. if a group of such elevators shou!d be organized, each elevator purchasing stock is a selling agency to have a_ separate membership in the terminal grain markets of Minneapolis and Duluth, the farmers of Minnesota will have -constituted themselves distributors. “Such a plan could be carried out,’ not only in the marketing of grain but as well in the marketing of poul- try and other products.” | If the plan proposed for securing membership on the grain exchange is/ not satisfactory, the Governor states, | the Legislature may pass a bill forcing; terminal exchanges to admit mutual! concerns to membership PIES DOWN IN CHICAGO. Chicago, Jan. 7—Pies are down three cents. Therefore Councilman Adamowiski says restaurants should} cut pies in five instead of six slices./ {at their annual meeting last night.
