Moorhead, Minnesota, to Potato Growers Cc Potato growers of North Dakotag| and of Traverse, Wilkin and Ciay | counties in Minnesota will meet ‘at | Moorhead, Tuesday, Sept. 11, to hear Aaron Sapiro, nationally known co- operative marketing expert, discuss essentials in the movement now un- der way to perfect a new potato sales agency in the Northwest. Sapiro’'s Moorhead address will be the second of a series that he is to make in the potato sections of the d hi at ui state, following his speech on the Farm Bureau Day program at the | n Minnesota State Fair, Sept. 6. On Monday, he will speak at Crookston and before the week ends he will have appeared at Detroit, Bemidji and in Stearns county at Princeton. These speaking dates, as well a: the one at' the State Fair, are bein, arranged by the Minnesota Farm Bu- reau Federation, ‘the orgs n committ&e of the Minnesota Potato Growers Exchange, local Farm Bu- reau leaders, potato growers and business men. Arrangements for the Moorhead meeting are developing rapidly, ac- cording to J. S. Jones, secretary of the state Federation. F. M. Brop! of Moorhead has been named gene chairman in charge of the arrange- ments for the meeting there. In each county, other leaders have been nam- ed to assist him in making the mect- ing one of the largest and most im- portant in recent years.

In-many respects, the Moorhead meeting is considered the most im- portant of the six that are being ar- ranged. Minnesota leaders realize a potato marketing agency that does not include the Red River Valley section of North Dakota can not hope for complete success. With North | Dakota growers outside the agen Minnesotans would be handicapped by potatoes from that section moving tc market and brenking the price despite any orderly movement that might be maintained by the Gopher growers. At Moorhead Mr. ‘Sapiro is expected to discuss. especially, the vital neces- sity for linking up growers in all parts of the Northwest, regardless of the state in which they live.

Rybinow, state campaign man- ager. “We have been especially suc- cessful in the Red River Valley,” he says. “Meetings have been well at- tended and the proportion of farm- ers who have signed the 5-year con- tract has been unusually high.

Former-Ciose Townley Work- “isMember of New Minnesota Organization St. Paul, Aug, 8—An organization obviously intended to supplant the Nonpartisan League in Minnesota for political action was formed Mon- day with the official title of Feder- ation of Farmer-Labor Clubs of Minn- esota, Officers of the new league are N. S. Randall, president; Julius J. Rei- ter, vice president; Joseph Gilbert, secretary; L. A. Fritsche; treasurer, Initiation dues are $2.25 ‘and. an- nual dues $3, making the total cost $5.25, somewhat less expensive than was the Nonpartisan League. Wives of members may join for 60 cents and are not required to pay annual dues, Of the $2.26 some 75 cents is for -aubscription to club papers that may, be designated or acquired. Long Connected With League Randall and Gilbert have long been connected with the Nonpartisan League. Reiter is mayor of Roch- ester and a former cundidate for Congress in ‘the “First district. Frit- sche is mayor of New Ulm, a candi- date for the Farmer-Labor nomina- tion at the recent Senatorial primary and a prospective Farmer-Labor can- didate for Governor at the 1924 elec- tion. If the new organization is as suc- cessful as the Nonpartisan league in obtaining members, it will have a fund in excess of $275,000 before the 1924 campaign, exclusive of individual subscriptions that may be made dur- ing the campaign. Since the imprisonment of A. C. Townley and Gilbert for alleged op- Position to the World war and the consequent dethronement of Town- ley within the league, the Nonparti- san league has been waning in Min- nesota, The new organization is in- tended, its organizers say, to defray the costs of the 1924 campaign and pay the unpaid debts incurred by the Farmer-Labor campaign committee in the recent senatorial campaigns, The federation is’ organized, it is officially stated, “for the purpose of crystallizing into club units the pro- gressive voters of Minnesota regard- less of vocation.

Under this act the authorities may grant special licenses for specific places to remain open until later, but generally they stick to the Georgian habits, and night life in London comes to a halt at twelve o'clock. At the present time many of the cafes in London haye permits to re- main open a few nights a week, but there is nothing certain in the pre- sent arrangements and they are changed as often as a new council is elected or the present members feel inclined. The hotel and cafe proprietors will ask’ the Eondon County Council to draw up a new law to be presented to parliament, and they have obtained the backing of the “Brighter London” movement committee which is seekin® to make ‘London a rival of gay Paris. NEWSPAPER ELECTION PACT ~" IS DISCUSSED (Continued from Page One) to the selection of an official news- Paper, the court says: “Generally speaking there are two classes of elections, or, rather there are two general subjects submitted at an election. The first relates to the election,of public officers; that is, the choice of certain persons to whom, for the time being, the power to exercise certain governmental functions is entrusted. ‘The other in- volves the presentation to the elec- tors of some question, measure, pro= Position or project. Both the courts and the legislatures, generally, rec- ognize a. distinction between the two classes. regards the effect of of- fers or inducements to the v rs voters having.‘a tendency to affect their votes, * * General Subjects ’ “As it is quite apparent that the lawmakers of this state, when they enacted the Corrupt Practii had in, mind the fact that two ge: eral subjécts were submitted at elec- tions;. for, it will be noted that while RI and to be submitted to the people at such election, “We think that the legislature in- tended that the provisions of the Cor- rupt Practices Act should apply to all elections at which any question or Proposition was submitted to the elec- torate. In other words, we think that the legislature in enacting the Cor- rupt Practices Act intended that the provisions of that Act should apply to all elections thereafter held in the state. The legislature, however, in the Act itself indicated that cer- tain provisions should be applicable to elections of public officérs, and other provisions applicable to all elections without regard to whether it involves the choice of a public of- ficer or the approval or rejection of a certain measure or proposition, or the determination of any other ques- tion, submitted to the voters at an election, As already indicated, it is manifest that when the legislature enacted that Corrupt Practices Act, it could not have had the election of an official newspaper in mind, as no such election was then held. Hence, obviously the lawmakers could not at that time have considered whether an official newspaper should be deem- ed a county office within the pur- view of the Act. And we are not at all satisfied that they manifested any intention, in the law providing for the election of an official newspaper, to constitute such newspaper a public officer.” What Is Public Officer? After discussing the legal defini- tion and view of what constitutes a public officer the court says: “It is difficult to see how these con- siderations can apply to an official newspaper. No restriction is placed upon the disposition of such news- paper. If the property is owned by a corporation, the stock may be sold, and the newspaper come under new management, and its policies be completely changed. The same is true if the newspaper is owned by an in- dividual or by a partnership. * * * “In the view we take of the case, however, it is unnecessary to deter- mine whether the election of an offi- cial newspaper is the election of an officer, or an election involving 12 measure, within the purview of the Corrupt Practices Act.” CHANGE ARISES ~ IN EDUCATION Technical Education Loses in Popularity of Past New York, Aug. 8—The late world war, almost exclusively a conflict of science and engineering, gave a tre- mendous impetus to public ‘interest in engineering study and resulted in a big increase of enrollments in the technical departments of ‘American colleges, according to statistics just gathered for Mechanical Engineering, official journal of the American So- ciety of Mechanical Engineers. “Never in the history of the world,” says that publication, “were en- gineers of greater importance and in greater demand than during the per- iod from 1916 to 1920. The 1920 en- ‘rollment was nearly 80 percent great- er than that ‘of 1913 and 1914.” Figures mbled by Alan Bright, registrar, and .W. F. Rittman, profe: sor of mechanical’ engineering, both of the Ci Institute of Techno- logy, sh arp decline in enroll- ments since the war. Thii y the investigators, is but.a “natural reac- tion from the abnormal incyease of the language in most of the séctions ‘of the Act ig applicable only to elec: tions of ions. wha are candidate: for public ‘office, three ‘section: namé}y, Section 12, relating ing; ‘section 15, relating to political advertisements published in newspa- pera, and section 16, relating to elec- tioneering election day, are made applicable only to the election of public offic , but, also, to elections involving measures pending before. 1918 and 1919, aided by the industrial depression of 1920.” Many upper class students in the middle west have solved the problem of cheap education, aceording to the report, by attending - colleges near home the fitst two years and later entering a distant engineering school with. advanced standing. 4 The statement is based on enroll- nt figures in 21 American colleges, universities and institutes, PAGE THREE PPER WALKING SHOES MAKES ATTACK ON.

Governor Nestos was scheduled to meet with the board of equalization at that hour but said he wanted to dispose of the Olson ease as proviptly as possible, indiana Caused Delay Judge Lindsey, at his hotel, asked concerning reports that Governor Me- Cray of Indiana had criticized North Dakota authorities, denied any blame rested in this state, “As a matter of fact any delay oc- casioned has been by our people and not by Governor Nestos,” he said. “The old charges were quashed by the Indiana court and we could not act on them. Governor McCray had delayed action and asked postpone- ment of the hearing because Olson had made some promises to pay money to the bank and the Governor thought that if the people got their money it would be better than prose- cution.” CAPITOL THEATRE Harold McGrath’s navel “The Ragged Edge” Two Reel Comedy “The Fatal Photo” Coming TOM MIX —in— “STEPPING FAST” ELTINGE LAST TIMES ‘FONIGHT’ WEDNESDAY NORMA TALMADGE —in— a - THE LAW” THURSDAY KATHERINE
