D. ‘Feb. 19.—An address on co-operative marketing was delivered today by Aaron Sapiro, famous co-operative counsel, who said that co-operative marketing as carried out in the northwest, before the advent of pooling, was bound to fail because it was based on wrong principles. Mr. Sapiro came to North Dakota as a representative of the National Wheat Growers Advisory committee, of which Frank 0. Lowden, former Governor of Illinois is chairman. The meeting here was held under the auspices of the North Dakota Wheat Growers Association, which is work- ing in conjunction with the national committee in promoting wheat pool- ing in this state. “You farmers up here have the best co-operative spirit in the world,” he declared, “I know you have be- cause you haye stuck for two gener- ations with coleperatives that won’t work.” if Mr. Sapiro was referring to the co- operative elevator movements in the northwest, which he declared were organized on the Rochdale plan, evolved in England for consumers and not for the producers, “It was a sorry day for North Da- kota and for many other states in this country when leaders attempted to take the Rochdale system of co- operating and adapt it to the needs of farmers—who dre sellers, Ignored Experiments “In your co-operative efforts you Ihave’ ignored the experiments and the practical results that have been obtained in the Scandinavian coun- tries, particularly Denmark and in Germany and in Switzerland. There, co-operation has been developed to serve the needs of a selling »ce-ple, And so I say, you have been on the wrorg traé. in Midwest states. “Out in California, as long as 20 years ago, farmers began experiment. * ing with the Danish system of co- operation and they have carried on their work to such an extent that we now have a system that has proven itself in every particular and we are able to give you a very definite set of rules for real co-operative mar- keting. These rules have been bas- ed on long experience, and it has taken many failures to bring out the factors that are right and those that are wrong. “There are certain essentials which every co-operative effort must have if it is to succeed. “First, it must aim right, and by aiming right, I mean that it must. set out to remedy the fundamertal evil in the present marketing sys- tem, “It must stop individual selling— dumping—and substitute therefore a plan of orderly marketing or mer chandising the commodity with which it is concerned. “Individual dumping of potatoes is the greatest single damaging factor in the marketing, plan of this com- munity. What happens every crop year? You growers worry along un- til just before digging season and then you begin to get anxious about prices. You rush your potatoes on the market because you know that someone is going to get stuck when the movement to market starts and you figure that it will be better for you, if it is your neighbor who is stuck than if it is yourself. “And so it goes, you dump, Your neighbor dumps, each against the other. You dump here in this tewn and all growers yp and down the line dump and you find yourself at the mercy of the buyer. Prices are smashed. You kick yourself and the marketing system for a season and then the whole rotten business be- gins over again. “Then, when we have aimed right, We must embody fn the plan six fun- damentals; leave one out and we court disaster: “First—-We must provide for grad- ing, Grading is the reason that on Aug. 6, on the Minneapolis market, Minnesota field run potatoes were selling for 35 cents' a hundred and graded potatoes, after they had been hauled all the way from blonde) ‘were bringing $2.85 per hundred. The Colorado potatoes were moving and those from Minnesota remained un- sold. The potatoes were no better, but they were in a,condition that in- vited the consuming public. Why, folks, there is only one state in the Union that placed on the market an egg that is comparable with the Cal- ifornia egg, and that is Minnesota; ENGLAND FORMING “FARM BLOC” BY MILTON BRON NEA Service Writer London, Feb. 19.--Spurred on by the «presence of a Farm Bloc in our Congress and by the clection suc- cesses of a Farmer's Party in some of our great wheat sti jcultur- al leaders of Great Britain are pre- paring to launch a real live Rural Party. It will have its own cardi- dates for Parliament and they will act together, just as other political parties. Sir Herbert Matthew twenty years secretary of the Cen Chamber of Agriculture, is one of the founders of the new party. “Nearly every civilized country in the world has a political party that Jlooks after the farmers’ inter says Sir Herbert. “So it is Great Britain got in line. “Out of 600-odd constituencies for the House of Commons, there are some 70 that are wholly rural and nearly 100 more in which agriculture predominates, We have, therefore, the chance, when we are well organ- ized, to capture a big block of votes in the House of Commons and thus secure a strategic position of great value. “Our objectives will in the main be: . | First—Maximum economic produc- tion from the land and miximum em- ployment on it. “Second—A living wage and better conditions of life for the rural work- er. time “Third—The organization of agri- culture and its allied industries. “Fourth—Laws which will make agriculture flourish and thereby bring prosperity to the rural com- munities. “Our program would envisage a control of imports, a law enforcing a minimum wage for farm workers, and the gradual development of small holdings by means of real credit facilities. This would mean ~~~. MORTGAGE FOR GERMANY WILL BE SUGGESTED Reparations Committee Ex- perts Urge Railways be Used as Security LOAN ALSO PLANNED Would Have Relatively Small International Ioan Sub- scribed For Germany Paris, Feb. 19.—(By the A. P.)— The expert committeemen examining into Germany's resources have reach- ed a general agreement on their re- | port to the reparation commission, ‘according to authoritative informa- _tion. | They have decided that instead of | the formidable loan previously sug-' gested a mortgage of approximately | 10 billion gold marks on the Ger- | man railway system and_ other! sources of revenue shall form the basis of a plan by which the allied | countries, especially France, will de- rive regular payment of interest. The mortgage bonds would be a| first lien on the railways and be di- | vided among Germany's creditors on} the basts of the percentage adopt-' ied at the Spa conference in 1920—; France, 62 per cent; Great Britain, | 26 per cent; Italy, 10 per cent; Bel- gium, 8 per cent, with the remaining | :four per cent divided among the | other allies. i A relatively small international loan will also be recommended to help Germany set up the proposed ‘national gold issue bank.

COUNTY, CLAIMED RICHEST TOWN OF SIZE IN N. D. Zeeland is the richest town in a purely agricultural section of the United States, is the claim put forward by John Bischof, president of the Zeeland State Bank, He bases his figures on the bank deposits in the little McIntosh county town. The town—population 325—has two banks. Their total deposits are $628,115.63, Their cash re- serve is $146,604.51. One bunk has $124,421.09 cash and U.

Washington, Feb. 18.—(By the A. P.)—Attorney-General Daugherty remained silently defiant today in the face of the new attacks on him and the Tuesday cabinet meeting passed without an announce- ment of his resignation. Department of Justice of- ficials insisted that he had no intention of surrendering to his critics but Senators who have taken the lead in advis- ing the President to ask him to retire remained confident that their advice would be followed. Mr. Daugherty himself, ar- riving at the cabinet meeting a half-hour late, would talk only about the weather. When he emerged an hour later and was questioned by newspaper men he_ showed plain signs of agitation and annoyance but he _ insisted that the question of his resig- nation had not been discussed and declared he had no state- ment to make for the pres- | ent. | Just before I the cabinet meeting the president had been in conference with the government special counsel and previously both he and the Attorney-General had been told of the new turn taken by the oil investigation. While the cabinet was in session the oil committee was hearing behind closed doors some of the evidence on which Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Montana, has asked that the Attorney -General’s attitude toward the oil program and his conduct generally be in- vestigated. In addition to the informa- tion by the Montana senator the committee also was ask- ing a group of New York brokers to disclose whether their books show any oil spec- ulations by past and present high officials of the govern- ment. SUSPENSE GROWS Washington, Feb. 19.—(By the A. P.)—The dramatic unfolding of the oi] tangle entered a period of height- ened suspense today when the in- vestigating committee went into con- ference behind closed doors with Harry Payne Whitney, New York financier and officials of J. P. Ben- kard and Company, New York stock brokers. In addition the persistent demands for the resignation of Attorney-Gen- eral Daugherty were before today’s cabinet meeting and the preliminar- ies of the long battle in the courts over the cil leases were being pre- pared by the government special counsel, Owen J. Roberts of Phil- adelphia and Atlee Pomerene of Can- ton, Ohio, the senate having acted finally on both appointments. Mr. Whitney and the members of the Benkard firm were summoned in connection with the oil committee’s study of the action in -the stock of the Sinclair Oil. companies. Receipt of new and startling information is understood to have given rise to the developments which resulted in the decision to subpoena them and hints have been flying thick and fast that names of present and former officials not heretofore mentioned might son be brought into the oil inquiry. New York Brokers Called The New York financier and the brokers were called late Sunday at the suggestions of Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Montana, and others. Mr. Wheeler was invited to take part in the committee’s conference, today and he also planned to presa for im- mediate action in the senate on his) resolution for an Daugherty. . a Curiosity over today’s executi , Session callqt despite the 10-day re- cess of the committee’s inquiry. a1 (Continued on page 6). ~
