a ‘Been: determined -because MARKET NEWS Wire Markets By Associated Press WHEAT GOES UPWARD TODAY in Prices Occurs on) Chicago Market Rise chicago, Feb. 9.—(By the A. P.)— With world shipments smaller than a week ago, or a year ago, and with Liverpool quotations showing a sharp advance, wheat here took an early swing upward today. Speculative of- 'feringd quickly increased to a consid: erable extent however, and checked the rise. A good deal of selling came from traders who had bought on last week’s decline. The opening which ranged from 1 to 2 7-8 cents higher, May. $1.92 1-2 to $1.93 5-8 and July $1364 to $1.64 1-2 was followed by a moderate reduction and then by a fresh upturn. ADD CHICAGO WHEAT Subsequently the market broad- ened and the announcement of market conditions touching the visible supply, the market under- ‘went a decided setback. May tem- porarily going to $1.90 to $1.89% us against $1.85% earlier. The belated liquidating sales, to- gether with short gelling, ‘brought about a decline in wheat prices to- cay after an early advance. Ex- port business was small.

With this action started, it is urged, the interests of everyone is | protected. If the city has legally paid Mr. Atkinson this fee, then cri- ticism will naturally subside, despite the private opinion of the ethics of the procedure. If the money has been illegally paid it should be returned to the city treasury. It is pointed out that. under Mr. Atkinson’s contract, h@ was to be paid five percent for engineering | services, The taxpayers have raised the issue that if the $7,800 commis- sion on the purchase price paid At- kinson were an engineering fee why If he was he not paid five percent. was entitled to any commissi: the $265,000 why not the five per- cent paid him on the rest of the transaction? It is believed this ac tion will clear up this and iy other points in connection with the payment of vast sums of moncy for the construction of Bismarck’s new water supply system. This action eliminates all person- alities, maintains the taxpayers, holds in abeyance all ugly charges and in- sinuations and puts the matter up to the fair and calm deliberation of the court which has no interest to serve in the matter but justice. ~ HOSPITAL TO BE STARTED IN JUNE, REPORT Fargo Men Claim That Veter- ans Hospital to be Start- HOUSE T0. VOTE TUESDAY UPON “SMOKES” BILLS Opponents Secure: Delay Until: 3p. m. Tuesday on Final Decision EMERGENCY Is The fate of the anti- Dakota House of Representatives Tuesday afternoon, the two Senate bills cigarettes being made spe- cial ofders of business for 3 p. m. Tuesday, The action taken after the House, in committee of the whole, had amended and xpproved the bills, and proponents of the mea- sures were ready to force an imme- diate vote. Delay was sought by those oppos- ed to the measures, the bills going over until Tuesday on motion of Rep. Burkhart of Ward county, a strong opponent. His motion came after Rep. Hardy of Slope county had sought to have the bills placed in passage this afternoon, and ker B. C. Larkin objected, stat- ing that some members had asked if the bills would be finally acted up- on Saturday and ypon receiving his statement that they would not, had gone home. Opinion of the Ho on viva voca vote, S peared overwhelming in fav- or of the two measures ents are expected to fight in the next two day ly against the > emergence which would license the garettes after April 1, 1925, The Amendment Before the two bill e bills Nos. 61 and 62—had been approved by the Houze in committee of the whole, both were’ amended. The former was strengthened as to penal- ties against selling to minor: the stamp tax in the latter increased. Under the amendment to Senate Bill No. 62, the tax on a package of 20 cigarettes of average price would be 3 4-2 cents, according to Rep. Twichell, author of the amendment. The rate, on a mill basis, was three cents per package in the Senate bill, uy as expressed a hard as amended to raise the minimum fine for selling} cigarettes to minors from $10 to $50! and the maximum from $100 to $300, and increased the maximum jail sen- tence that might be given from 30 to 90-4 Debate on the measures came largely from the side of opponents who, however, apparently comma ed a surprisingly few number votes, : ed Immediately Fargo, Feb. 9.—Work on a 200-bed World War Veterans hospital. in Fargo will probably start June 1, ac- cording to announcement of William! Stern, L. B, Hanna and N. B. Black, the committee which was assured in ‘Washington that the hospital would be located here. The two former men returned with news of the hos- pital today. They declared that in place of the anticipated long struggle in Washing- ton for location of the hospital in Fargo, they wére met with the state* ment. from General Hines, in charge of the federal Veterans Bureau, that one. of three Fargo sites would be used for the 200-bed institution. One site had already been elim:n- ated, Mr. Hines told them, and one of the two remaining would be used her as the location for new hos- pital buildings or as the location of buildings already built that would be remodeled into suitable hospital headquarters. A representative of the Veterans Bureau is expected in Fargo to dis cuss with the Fargo men the course to pursue, whether to build or ac- quire buildings, and his report to Washington, the local men said, will settle the matter of the long: fought hospital here. The hospital, with 50 or 60 empl es, 1s expected to bring more than 200 persons to Fargo.

The internal revenue but reau, he added, was prepared to ex- tend to co-operatives the fullest benefits of tax exemption to which they are entitled by law, and he said he had asked the bureau's law officer to render an opini to whether the commission's proposal for exemp- ting co-operatives would meet the le- gal requirements. Unfairness Regarding the commerce commis- sion, the commission reported to the president that it had been unfair to shippers and that its methods of procedure were dilatory and expen- sive. We are charged with the duty to administer definite acts of congress with equal impartiality to both ship- pers and carriers,” Mr. Aitchison’s letter said. “The conference (commission) it seems to us, overlooked completely nature of the responsibilities of the com sion under the transpor- tation act of 1920 for the mainten- ance of an adequate national — rail transportation machine, and lays un- warranted emphasis on the situation of particular pers or groups, without regard to national policy as declared by Taw.” Denied N.D.SPUDS ARE McKenzie County Potatoes Make Record in South Farmers of McKenzie county have a great future in the raising of cer- | tified seed potatoes, in the opinion of A.
