The governor said: “One of the most hopeful signs of the times is the splendid progress made in diversified farming, and the increased amount of revenue that comes to the farmers of our state from cream and poultry products especially.

HEAD SAYS RAIL RATE CUT HURTS SERVICE President Budd of Great Nor- thern Calls at White House To Discuss Conditions NO CAR SHORTAGE Railroad : Executive Appears on Proposal to Cut Rates To Aid the Farmers * eee Washington, Oct. 4.—Railroad and agricultural conditions in the North- west were discussed with President Coolidge today by Ralph Budd, pres- ident of the Great Northern railroad, the-second executive of a, Northwest railroad to have a conference with President Coolidge this week. Mr. Budd advised the President that any reduction in freight rates such as has been proposed: as a means of relief of Northwest farm- ers would mean the cost of decreased service.

Budd saw little ger of a car shortage on lines west of the Rocky Mountains. ~ Frazier Issues Statement After the White House announce- ment of the plan to send the delega- tion into the northwest, to aid co- operative marketing, Senator Frazier, Republican of North Dakota, issued a stutement declaring the time Had come for an “official” reckaning with the farmers problems. He as- serted there had been too much’ sym- péthy and too little actual help given agriculture and again urged the passage of remedial legislation. His statement contained reference to the svorris-Sinclair bill of two years ago and several other measures which he said would have proved beneficial had they been enacted. “As usual,” Senator Frazier said, “we are hearing the same line of suggestions about new credit agen- cies and congress undoubtedly will be besieged by the same kind of politi- ciang-and bankers offering the same kind of credit. schemes. The farm- te never received any ‘real relief from this source and they need not expect any now. These rural credit schemes generally benefit the man who farms the farmer instead of the man who farms land, who is “the one in need of relief.” Senator Frazier declared congress had -granted, the bankers emergency relief in authorization for millions of sew currency in 1914 and that the railronds later were made the subject of special legislation. In the latter case, he said, the relief afforded had been so-great that many persons were coming to regard it a bonus to the transportation lines, STATE BODY T0 TAKE UP LOCAL ELECTRIC RATE First Step Is Asking That In- junction Obtained by Hughes Electric be Lifted Steps will be taken to have set aside an injunction issued for the Hughes Electric Company, restrain- ing the board of railroad commis- sioners from proceeding with a hearing to determine whether the company was making an unreason- able profit, Chairman Milhollan’ of the state commission said, to he had been informed by First Assistant Attorney-General: John Thorpe., The | supreme court has denied rehearing in the case’ in which the Hughes comneny sourht to have declared un- constitutional the laws empowering the board of railroad commissioners to regulate publie utilities. The baled of the injunction “is ex: pected to be a formality only, since the determination by the supreme court settled the matter of. the board’s powers. is Chairman Milhollan said that the commission’ would then proceed to hear, the case, either upon the ori- petition of locgl people asking for a reduction in steam heating and electric rates, or upon the commi: sion’s own m¢tion.

Dr. Stresemann is spoken of in some quarters as well fitted to take over such an office in view of his experience in econo- mics and finances meanwhile he hus been invited by President Ebert form another ministry. The resignation of the cabinet came last night after the four social- ist members had withdrawn fellow- ing their rejection of a compromise proposed by the chancellor on the eight-hour law. The bourgeoise mem- bers voted to retire in a body and authorized Dr. Stresemann to apprize President Ebert of their decision. The chancellor returned from a visit to the executive shortly after. midnight and immediately received German editors to whom he reviewed events leading up ‘to the retirement of his ministry. STRESEMANN QUITS Berlin, Oct. 4.—Dr. Gustav Stres mann and the members of his min- istry resigned from office last night. President Ebert then called upon the retiring chancellor to form a new cabinet. . The Stresemann ‘government re- tired from office with the relin- quishment of passive resistance in the Ruhr and the Rhineland as the only active accomplishment to its credit. While criticism of its use- fulness on this seore would seem to be not entirely fair, in view of the hopelessly tangled legacy assumed by it as the successor of the Cuno miwiatry, the Stresemann coalition in its political composition was: such as to preclude in the long run any hope of productiveness in the nature of financial and economic reforms, on account of the conflicting currents which hampered its deliberations. With a theoretical socialist in the ministry of finance and an indus- trialist party man as minister of economics, one chronic point of fric-. i promptly established. It jee tothe retirement yesterday of a parently wi ied of carrying on a running debate with Dr. Hilferding on financial and economic dogmas. This was only” one of the several minor paradoxes with which the Stresemann ministry was handicap- ped. The chancellor's well known optimism praiseg as a useful asset when he assumed office, was unable to overcome the getting an economically and politi- ban moribund Germany back on its ‘eet, Poincare Gets Blame M. Poincare, the French premjer, is blamed by the German government. and the reichstag leaders for t! collapse of Chancellor Stresemann’ coalition government. If Poincare had given the slightest indication of @ reciprocal attitude in response to Germany's abandonment of passive resistance official and political quai believe thet Dr. Stresemann’s position would have been measurably sfrengthened, inasmuch as it would have been spared the nationalist on- slaughf, which not only gained mo- mentum through the unconditional Ruhr surrender, but also from the swiftly collapsi 1 situation. Both factors sufficed to knock the Prop from under the caDinet, whose} advent as a “big coalition govern- ment” was acclaimed less than séven weeks ago as presaging internal re- construction, as well Progess in the foreign situation. Decisive Session Called After the socialist members of the Reichstag rejected by a vote of 61 to 54 the compromise’ proposed by Chancellor Stresemann in the mboted points of the eight hour law and modification of the authorization law, its four members in the cabinet, Dr. Hilferding, minister of finance; |Schmidt, reconstruction; Sollman, in- terior, and \ \Badbruch, justice, ap- prised the chancellor of their rétire- ment, whereupon the chancellor con- voked the remaining members of the cabinet Yor a degisive Baptists of _ , State Meeting Fargo, Oct. 4.—More than 50 del ites and about s dozen speakers had arrived in Fargo for the annual con- vention of North Dakota, Baptists which opened at the First Baptist church yesterday afternogn., The convention opened with simul- taneous meetings of the ministerial, confergnce and of the Womens. mii- H, | slonary meeting, in different parts of the church, Mrs. C.

Hemmed in by the grim, stone walls of the prison areas of the western Kentucky state penitentiary three convict murderers who yester- day killed two guards and wounded two others in an attempt to shoot their way to freedom were barricad- ed in a two-story brick dining room building, the central structure of the prison plant, The convicts apparently were con- serving ammunition for their auto- matic pidtols—and’ waiting.
