The Weather FAIR FORTIETH YEAR FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1921 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE] BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, PRICE FIVE CENTS 100 MILLION CORPORATION 70 MARKET GRAIN Solicitation of Members United States Grain Grow- ers Under Way TO HANDLE 1922 CROP Each Member to Have Choice of Five Ways of Disposing of Grain BY AUSTIN P HAINES. Chicago, July 8 —Solicitation of memberships in the United States Grain Growers, Inc., the great farm- ers’ organization which its officers ex- pect to prove the greatest grain mar- keting agency in the country, has just begun. The campaign for selling preferred stock in its subsidiary, the one hun- dred million dollar finance corpora- tion, is soon to be started. The entire nineteenth floor of the Mallers building in Chicago has been rented and the executive officers are mailing out thousands of bundles of printed matter daily to farmers who are seeking information. The promoters insist that the propo- sition is not an experiment, but is merely following the lines which the United Grain Growers of Canada have found so successful. It is a piece of marketing machinery, without any capital stock, to be operated without profit, for the purpose of selling the farmers’ grain and returning to them the full market value, less handling charges. It will operate where pos- sible through farmers’ co-operative elevators, of which there are nearly 6,000 in the country, and through lo- cal associations of grain growers. The cost of membership is an initiatory fee of $10, without further dues. Three Subsidiary Corporations. The plans call for three subsidiary corporations, one for financing grain growers, one for warehousing and one for exporting. It is said that the finance corpora- tion, with its $100,000,000 of preferred stock, will be the largest financial in- stitution in the United States, next to the United States Steel Corporation Its chief function will be to issue its own obligations against warehouse re- ceipts for grain which can then he By Newspaper Enterprise. Atlanta, Ga., July 8—When you shake hands with Governor Thos. W. Hardwick, of Georgia—maybe you don’t. i For you are just as likely to be gripping the hand of D. B. Blalock, Hardwick's secretary. Who can tell? Hardly anybody, it seems! Hardwick looks as much like Blalock as he does himself—and the same goes for Bla- lock and Hardwick, When the present governor was a senator, Blalock’s friends predicted he had a political future before him—be- cause he resembled Hardwick 80 close- y. ‘Then Hardwick became governor, and he engaged his “twin” as secretary. “Pretty handy,”’says the governor. And “handy” is right! ASK DIVISION OF DISTRICTS INTHE COUNTY Separation of Schools is Asked In Two Instances of County Commissioners INVOLVE REGAN, ARENA! The county commissioners and placed with banks or private investors by the farmers, or any members co- operative elevator company can secure from the finance corporation cash for the full loan value of grain stored or pooled with it. The warehouse corporation will pro vide terminal storage facilities for grain by the purchase or erection of warehouses at the great grain mar- keting centers. The export corporation will seek tv increase America's foreign trade by setting up agencies in every corner of the world to expand and handle the grain export trade. Officers point out that the United Grain Growers of Can- ada exported wheat at from 3 to 5 cents a bushel less than private ex: porters charged, and it is believed that American farmers can do as well. Plan to Take Charge of 1922 Wheat Crop. Sponsors of the United States Grain Growers, Inc., hope that the organiza- tion will be sufficiently perfected to handle the 1922 crop. They point out that even if only half the existing far- mers’ co-operative elevators were to join the movement the organization would handle more grain than is now handled at the world’s greatest mar- ket in Chicago. They expect to con- trol the marketing of at least half the wheat crop to start.with and withia a few years to prove the dominating factor in the grain market. Although officers deny that the new organization is designed to upset ex- isting commercial institutions, to’ cre- ate a monopoly or fix prices, it is al- ready apparent that there is conflict pending between it and the established grain exchanges of the country? Recently the Chicago Board of Trade issued a pamphlet attacking the new undertaking, to which the United Grain Growers’ Inc., replied in kind, and it is evident that there is to be a continual clash between the two with the great possibility that one of the two will be wrecked and sent to the junk heap. The farmers say that, while mem- berships, on the boards of trade are open to anyone, co-operatives are dis- criminated against. Will Pay Capital Only. C. H. Gustafson of Nebraska, presi- dent of the United States Grain Grow. ers, Inc., says: “Our plan differs from. existing marketing methods chiefly in that it recognizes capital only as a ser- vant and remunerates it only for its service value, and returns to the pro- ducer the proceeds of his toil in pro- portion to his patrenage.” Officers deny that its power will be used to exploit the consumer. They say that under efficient marketing and distribution of farm crops the city man will pay less for his food, while the farmer receives more for his labor,! and they point out that at present the! farmer does not receive more than 2 cents out of the § or 10 cents which a loaf of bread costs, or more than 3 cents out of about 14 cents for which a quart of milk sells. Public opinion, if nothing else, would prevent their ex-| ercising monopoly power to the detri-| ment of the public, they say. How Contract Operates. | Under the contract into which far- mer members will enter with the Unit- ed States Grain Growers, Inc., each memter will have a choice between five methods of disposing of his grain, as follows: FIRST: He may seil outright to his local co-operative elevator at the pre- vailing market price, just as under the present system, excepting that any (Continued on Page Five) superintendent of schools were ex-! nected to decide today that there would be no change in the territory of Iowa district, Estherville township, which! was the subject of argument before ‘he board yesterday on petition of many farmers for a change.

GOVERNOR HARDWICK (RIGHT) (LEFT). +| them. |;COMMERCE CLU feral calls have been received from 2,000 FIGHTING ers was that the country district! should not be taxed to keep up the| school in Regan and they advanced the| ‘urgument that if Regan were separat: | ed a consolidated school could be built! in the center of the township, Regan being toward one corner. The Regan people said that the peti- tion proposed to take all of the sec- tions out of the school district but two,! leaving Regan the section in which she is located and one school section from which no tax is derived. This would} put an unnecessary burden on Regan,) ‘hey said. Regan, they said, has but: one school now and there are other schools in the distritt. The matter was contested before the board by petitioners through attor-! veys, C. L. Crum representing the pe- titioners and E. S, Allen the Regan protestants. | Counter-Proposal. Regan’s representative made a coun-! ter proposal saying that she did nol object to a division that would be! equitable, asking that 12 contiguous sections be given her. If the 12| sections were given her, her represen-/ tative contended, her taxable value} would be equalized and she would} have one-third of the land in the dis-; trict. Her representative contended, ! however, that there should be no di-| vision at all at this time. It was sug-| gested that if nothing was done at this} time it might be possible to secure} consent of Ghylin township to give three or four sections to the south of; Regan, Rock Hill township to give two; or three sections on the southeast of Regan and Canfield 3: or 4. sections on the northeast or Regan, and then take from Estherville sufficient sections to make her school district composed of 18 sections, sufficient to enable her to have a consolidated school. It was stated that representatives of Rock Hill and Canfield had signified the consent of the township might be ob- tained and that if Ghylin and Esther- ville would consent the arrangement could be made. The Estherville petitioners desiring a change stood on their original peti- tion, advancing the alleged inequitable taxing division and location of Regan as arguments. Another Petition. Another school division petition was filed. Petitioners in Harriet township, which is one school district, asked that it be divided, having the coutry sec- tions made into one district and Arena into one district including sections 2, 3, 10, 11, 14 and 15. Arena objected, asking that the two districts be di- vided equally, north and south. It was said County Superintendent Par- sons advocated this. Hearing on argu- ments on this case were set for aa adjourned July meeting to be held iu | September. | WOULD ABOLISH TIPS. | Munich, July 8.—Bavarian hotel owners and employes have asked the industrial commissioa for legislation GUESS AND SECRETARY BLALOCK When respect paying callers become too numerous and Hardwick gets a touch of hand-shakers’s cramp—what is more simple than to lend Secretary Blalock a suit of gubernatorial clothes and stand him up, with outstretched mit, before the unsuspecting back- home folks? Also, when banquet invitations be- come too numerous and close to- gether, Blalock, could sit in nicely in the governor's seat. : And if there are any cornerstones to be laid, for the little red schvol-houge at Five Corners. Mr. Governor—pardon Secretary, wields a clever trowel. There is only one drawback to the pretty stage setting—intimate friends.

W. Brinton in the perjury trial, had spok- en six hours to the jury at noon to- day in defense of his client. He was expected to complete his argument during the afternoon, and J. J. Weeks, special prosecutor, was to finish for the state. Mr. Weeks opened the argu- ment yesterday afternoon. The case probably will reach the jury tomorrow by noon. Mr. LeSueur vigorously assailed the former leaders. of the Nonpartisan league with whom he had been asso- ciated, in defense of Brinton, He de- clared that the evidence bore out the charges of the organization and ma- nipulation of “dummy” corporations for their own personal benefit. He de- clared the defense had proven the ex- istence of a policy to send money to the Scandinavian-American bank trom the Bank. of North Dakota and through the Fargo bank to use the money tor their “dummy” corporations. He declared that F. W. Cathro vio- lated all known legal regulations for sailing the ship of state, and said “his captain was no pdker but continued to trim the sheets while the wind was fair, and their motto ‘sail on, oh Ship of State, sail on.” And so they sail, until they boxed the binnacle and busted the compass, Waters in the hold yelling, ‘She’s springing a leak,’ Brin- ton in the crows’nest with prophetic eye shouting ‘Breakers ahoy!’ while the ship’s carpenter and builder, William Lemke, took plank after plank from the good ship’s hull to build himself a nice little private yacht on lot 1 of Erskin’s Addition in Fargo.” Attacks Alleged Omissions ‘Mr. Weeks touched on _ but three of the 24 assignments of perjury against Brinton in his argu- ment to the jury, Arthur LeSueur, defense counsel, declared at the con- clusion of the opening address of Weeks in asking a conviction of Brin- ton. \ \Before beginning his plea to the New York, July 8.—Mystery to- day still surrounds the fate of the liner Callao, which is due here Sunday from Beunos Aires and Reio de Janiero, Officials of the Munson line admitted last night that they had been attempting to get in touch with the vessel THREE DIE FOR | KILLING GROCER a) \ Chicago, July 8—Antonio Lopez, sentenced to death for the kill- ing of Tony Varchetto, a grocer, during the holp-up of his store January 15, 1920, was hanged at the county jail this morning. i Lopez was cool and collected on the gallows and when asked if he, had anything to say spoke a feW words in an undertone to a deputy jailer, protesting, it is believed, his innocence.

FACTS FOR THE | | CITY TAXPAYERS | —__________ _ Exclusive of interest charges and school maintenance, it will cost $116,332.54 to run the city of Bismarck from Sept. 1, 1920 to Sept. 1, 1921. The police department costs a little more than $9,000. Fire department costs nearly $7,000 and the maintenance of streets $13,320. Street lights cost $7,- 500; health, $3,550 and water and sewers, $16,000. In the water budget is included $5,000 for legal expenses in the city’s controversy with the Bismarck Water Supply Company, phases of which litigation are still pending. These then are the chief items in the budget and when you add to them some $80,000 to $100,- 000 a year to run the city schools, interest on more than one million bonded indebtedness and interest on more‘ than $60,- 000 on unpaid city warrants, the taxpayers have before them a sum total that should make them reluctant to plunge deeper into debt at a time when the hue and cry over the nation is re- trenchment in public expendi- ture. On top of this the state and county levies must be met. These series of talks on taxes are designed merely to inform the people of Bismarck so that they may vote intelligently July 26 when the people decide whether it is time to call a halt an audit of the books last night and | that a firm of certified public account- ants would be retained to make an in- dependent examination. The audit and the answer of the committee to the charges will probably be made pub- lic this evening, he said. Mr. Lieder- bach confirmed reports that the ma- jority members of the committee, Ole Kaldor, Christ Levang and himself, and the minority members, Walter Maddock and R. H. Walker, had not reached an agreement in the session yesterday which lasted until after 1 o’clock this morning. Preliminary hearing of the charges of criminal libel against George A.

Still Checking. Nonpartisan league state committee- men were still engaged in checking their financial records today with the announced expectation of publishing » complete statement of receipts and disbursements from the leagues vic- tory ‘campaign fund to refute charges that the money has been misapplied. ‘This morning it was announced that the majority of the state committee ot the league represented by Chairman A. A. Liederbach is not prepared to; push today the charges of criminal libel against George A. Totten, Jr.» former business manager of the Cour- ier-News, and C. K. Gummerson, for- mer editor of the publication. Charges against them grow out of the attempt to print a special edition of the news- paper charging Liederbach and Ole!

Belfast, July 8.—(By the Associated Press.)—The Union street and Kemp street areas of Belfast were the scenes of wild excitement at midnight last night: heavy firing going on for 20 minutes. _ A constable was mortally wounded and the Sinn Feiners engaged in the hostilities are reported to have buffered heavily. Many bodies are said by the police to have been car- ried into houses nearby. The trouble started when a police searching party called in a house in the district. Fire was opened upon the party and in response to a police hur- ry call the reinforcements were rush- ed up. A battle ensued and the police were fired at from the street corners as well as from houses which had been picketed to guard against surprises from the Crown Forces. Dublin, July 8—(By the Associated Press.)—As the peace conferences pro- ceeded the crowd in the streets at in- tervals recited the rosary and the lit- any and joined in prayers. An interesting feature was the ab- sence of both the police and the mili- tary. Only two policemen were in evi- dence and the crowd was regulated by volunteers wearing small American flags in their button-holes. At 1 o'clock this afternoon the con- ferees emerged and the four Unionists left, announced the proceedings had been adjourned until 4 P. M. The crowd again loudly cheered as the con- ferees left the Mansion House. Generai Sir Neville McReady, naval commander in Ireland, took part {a this afternoon's conference of Eammon DeValera, Irish Republican leader, and representatives of the southern unionists. Sir Neville’s coming created the belief among those following the conference that a truce would be ar- ranged tonight. NOT MUCH HOPE. London, July 8.—Representatives of the Sinn Fein and the Unionists of South Ireland met at Dublin today to continue conversations which, it was hoped, would develop some basis for peace negotiations which would end the era of bloodshed that has prevailed in Ireland for many months. Every- body interested in the settlement of the Irish situation was anxiously wait- ing for news from Dublin, but Englisn political writers in this morning’s newspapers seemed to believe the prospects of an agreement should be regarded more with hope than witi faith. In many quarters indeed the situation was viewed as giving little occasion for optimism. In view of the great diversity of reports it might be significant that the Sinn Fein parliament last night issued an announcemet warning the public “against unauthorized and speculative reports connected with the situation.” BRITAIN ASKS CONFERENCE London, July 8.—(By the Associat- ed Press).—Great Britain, it was stated here today in a quarter usual- ly possessed of reliable information, ‘to the United States, Japan and ; China on the possibility of a confer- {ence to discuss the whole eastern | situation. | CHOOSE ROOT TO | BE WORLD JURIST Paris, July 8.

No effort to recommit the bonus Dill to the finance committee as pno- posed by President Harding in his capitol conferences yesterday was planned until receipt of the expect- ed message. It was not certain when the message might be sent. In the meantime the bonus bill re- mained before the senate as_ its unfinished business with extended debate in prospect today prior to the usual week-end adjournment. Visits Senators Washington, July 8,—President ‘Harding paid an unexpected visit to the senate yesterday and, it is under- stood, interposed by weight of his per- sonal influence to defer action on the soldier bonus dill until a. closer un- derstanding of the government's fi- nancial outlook has been made poss- ible by enactment of new tariff and tax laws. In a conference with senate lead- ers, he is understood to have indorsed the view of Secretary Mellon that bonus legislation now might be a serious embarrassment to the treas- ury, and even to have suggested that all other legislative business be sus- pended to permit completion of the tariff and tax revisions as soon as possible. Those who talked with him, quoted him as favoring a recess of congress while the committees in charge are hastening perfection of the two measures.
