Among those called to Washington are M. M. Mounts, of Beulah, employed at the Beulah Coal company, Lee C. Petti- bone, L, B. Hanna and Gunder Olscn. 1s is understood at least one Dickin- pon. man will go to Washington to tes- y. , ‘Mr. Hughes, it is said, is bitterly op- posed to the confirmation of Mr. Mil- er. It is understood’ that it was on re-| quest of Muller adherents that for- mer Governor Hanna and Gunder Ol- son, iepublican national committee-j man, were summoned. The new charges deal with actions of Miller when Mr. Hanna was governor, and ineaus wt Mr. Miller, who ‘say they are ridiculous, expeci.the former. gov- ernor to disprove them | The telegraphic summons of Mr. Hughes was received. late yesterday afternoon. He was to appear in the first of the armory cases here this week and C. L. Young, attorney, an- nounced that request was made’ to} have ihe case continued. The additional charges, it is satd, were filed in the full judiciary com- mittee after the sub-committee had reported that the previous | charges had been investigated and should be disregarded. The new charges, sub- mitted by Ormsby ‘McHarg and other opponents of Mr. Miller, alleged that Mr. Miller received stock in a land company while he was attorney-gen- eral and member of the board of equalization without payment, Town sites along the N. P. on the Killdeer branch were acquired by tho Tuttle Land company, it is stated. Mounts, according to the alleged charges, will testify that stock in the land company was given Mr. Miller without cash payment in return for which he wag to, as a member of the hoard .of equalization, which fixed as- ‘sessments of railroads and. public utilities, to keep down taxes of the railroad. ane charges claim that Gunder Ol- son, present United States Collector of Internal Revenue, joined in keeping | the taxes down. He then was _ state treasurer. Mounts is the main wit- ness it is sald and Lee Pettibone is listed as being ready to testify in sub- stantiation of Mounts’ testimony. Mr. Miller’s friends assert that the | continued’ fight is - chiefly political, | that the old charges grew out of po- | litical campaigns and have previously ; been discounted, and that a. strong element in the fight is the effort to keep the federal court from being moved from, Fargo to Bismarck. | Friends of Francis Murphy, of Minot, | have been very active in the last sev- ; eral days in urging his name for the appointment. ! B. B. McCutchon, of Minot, who has | been active in the fight, left Bismarck last night for Washington after, it was understood he‘ consulted local people interested in the fight against Mr. Miller. McCutchon, who was in-! vestigator fior the house legislative committee last winter and has been | active in state politics, is understond | to be “investigator” for the Miller opposition. It is reported new appeals have been made to President Harding to withdraw Mr. Miller’s nomination. WEATHER REPORT For twenty-four hours ending at neon, Jan. 25. Temperature at 7 a. m.

The principal idea back of the move- ment is that proper prices’ cannot be obtained for many farm products without a restoration of the foreign demand ana plans for legislation which. will result n the extension of foreign credit in farm. products under the auspices of the federal govern- ‘ment are’ being prepared by the men in charge of the movement. The. plan. has been endorsed by Many prominent North Dakota citi- zens among whom are Harrison Gar- nett, Joseph M. Kelly, J. D.. Bacon John G. Walgtad, J. Nelson Kelly. John G. Gunderson, Hans Georgeson, E. Y. Sarles, Arthur White, A. B. Jackgon, George Dickinson, William Lamb and Walter Reid. Farm Bureau Attitude, The North Dakota Farm Bureau Federation has given its approval and offered its co-operation as is evidenc- ed by. the following telegram: “Execut.ve Committee of North Dakota Farm Bureau Federation considers that your revised Plan is'in line with the Policies adopt- ed by State Farm Buregu Federa- tion and will co-operate in enceav- or to make same effective.” The Farm Bureau has also fssued the following statement. through its secretary with reference to this move- ment: “Every one seems to realize the fact that agriculture must be as- sisted back to normal and many people, including agencies ‘of the government are giving the mat- ter great attention and study and many plans are being prepared. Most of the suggestions and all of the act.vities so far appearing, seem:to be for the purpose of fur- nishing the ‘farmer additional credit. Credit is important but it is: not a fundamental need. The fundamental need is a market for farm products which, will bring to the farmer a profit over and above the cost of production, a market which will enable him to pay his debts rather than artific- ially aid to assist him ‘~ creating new ones. j For such products ag are raised in a quantity grgater than can be consumed at home, a profitable market can only come by broad- ening the foreign demand. , Some of the prominent citizens of our states among whom are such men as Harrison Garnett, Joseph M. Kelly, J. D. Bacon, , John G. Gunderson, Hans George- sen, E. Y. Sarles, Arthur White, A. B. Jackson, George Dickinson, Wm. Lamb and Walter Reid, have realized this basic need and have expressed their interest in a prop- er presentation of this situation to Congress with a view toward the establishment of some govern- mental agency to assist in financ- ing. the foreign demand for cer- tain agricultural products, With this plan the North Dakota Farm ifice building to take him to a hospital i to be operated on ‘for appendicitis, | said Patterson later died, according | ‘to general reports and that so far as | +he knew the negro major: was not; tried. Dawe Hanging of a negro soldier at Bell-! yille, France, was described by Col. | James P. Barney, of the army war col- lege, who said the court-martial was composed iof seven negroes and five! white officers. i { Bureau Federation is in full ac- cord. It heartily endorses this movement for putting before Con- gress the farmers need in-the way of an increased foreign market, the principles of better rural credits, the extension of credit abroad for the purpose of selling surplus American farm products and the needs in the way of ade- quate tariff protection for Amer- ican farm products when neces- sary. ‘ The North Dakota Farm Bureau JOHN KNAUFF NOT CANDIDATE No Doubt About Positiveness of His Declination Federation will join earnestly in this movement to properly present these matters to Congress.

Draft of a measure to provide for removal of the lim.t is now in the process of/| -om pletion, The proposed new law would either ve initiated next June or submitted o the next legislature, unless there Ahould be a decision reached to remodel ue eulire pxuvess OL mawig) farm vans. The industrial Commission 10,000,000 be removed, Governor Nes- tos officially stated. They will pro-; pose authority for issuance of rural credit bonds and’ making of loans without limit, but with a strict-pro- vision. that no loan.,may be. made in excess of 50 per cent of the value of -he land. Rush of Applications, The rush of applications now before the farm loan department has hasten- | zd the decision to prepare for action which it is held may be necessary. About $3,000,000 in loans have been issued, so that under the law at pres-! ent $7,000,000 additional loans may be aade. » ‘the farm loan department machinery is in operation and with expected delivery of bonds in Febru- ary, loans will be made rapidly. at ig the view of Governor Nestos, Attorney General Johnson and Com- missioner Kitchen that the depart- ment may have loaned the entire amount permitted by statute before the next session of the legislature. The system then built up, they hold, would have to be disrupted and there would be additional cost in instituting it again. For that reason it may be decided to submit the matter to the voters next June, ® Farm loan applications since the! ‘| department of the Bank of North Da- kota was established have consider+ ably exceeded $10,000,000, and at the rate they now. are coming it probably will exceed that figure under the new administration and new system. The proposed new law would con- itain all the essential safeguards to make the department self-sustaining | and prevent loss which would have to ‘be made up out of the taxpayers’) pockets.

P.) —Americdn® agriculture as a whole is profiting by a study of the plan that. has cortributed to the welfare of Cal- ifornia in the face of severe business depression, G. Towell, general man- ager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, declared today before the National Agriculture;Conference. Mr. Towell declared that success of co- operating of marketing depends upon the will of the farmer to cooperate and on the development of a spirit of mu- tual confidence and trust “between those engaged in the venture.” Cooperative organizations should be composed exclusively of farmetsand managed by farmers with the benefit returned to each member by his pa- tronage of the organization. He advocated payment of only a fair rate of interest on capital stock and that veting power be distributed on the ‘one man, one vote principle.” Urge Canal Recommendation for the construc- tion of the St: Lawrence-Great Lakes waterway project was voted by the subcommittee on waterways transpor- p-tion under the general transporta- wall propose that the present limit of|.y/..;committee. ‘Recommendation for the repeal of the commonly known guarantee act of the transportation act and return to ‘he state commissions of contro] of intrastate rates was voted by the rortation..committee..on rail portation, The vote’ on the re- } of the guaranty clause was 12 to and on the return of state railway pow-'s. 11 to 6 Signs pf Difference Some signs of differences in the pmference appeared after the defeat of a motion by J. S, Wannamaker, of South Carolina, for appointment of a committee on resolutions. This mo- ‘ion wes defeated on the ground that the committees already appointed were expected to consider resolu- tions, Mr. Wannamaker issued a formal statement later, attacking the ¢confer- ence and declaring “about all the farmers and farm leaders have to do in this conference is to shake hands with the President, meet some official dignitaries, partake , of a little ice cream and cake and then go home.” “Selection of committees has been made in such a manner,” Mr. Wanna- maker said, as to suggest that those responsible for such services are either totally ignorant of the qualifications of the delegates or have lent’‘them- selves to a cut and dried‘ and’ well- baked scheme to prevent the forward looking farmer representatives from bringing any good whatever from out of the conference.” Charges Ulterior Motive He’ was “confident,” he continued, that it was “the purpose of those re- sponsible for the conference to de- stroy the farm bloc.” “The President's address in, open- ing the conference,” he continued “indicated very clearly that such was the purpose.” The committees, in organizing, pro- vided in many cases. for distributing the subjects before them to subcom- mittees. Probably one question in which the delegates as a whole are interested is that of\ commodity fi- nancing. One member of the commit- tee on agricultural credit and insur- ance, which have this subject under consideration, suggested that a plan probably could be worked out to pro- vide ‘for commodity loans running from six months to three years. His proposition would provide for the warehousing, grading and inspection of commodities, endorsement of com- modity paper presented by farmers by ‘heir local banks and the handling of his paper thru the federal farm loan anks system which would either dis- sount the loans in the form of certifi- cates of indebtedness to be sold upon ‘the open market.
