THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) (Official City, State and County Newspaper) SEEKING A SOLUTION Railroads of America, that is most of them, are con- fronted by a serious financial problem which if not settled in fairness to all concerned will impede distribution and may bring disaster upon business in general. North Dakota is vitally interested in a fair, not a political, solution of the is- sues. Thousands of persons of every shade of political belief have money tied up in railroad stocks and bonds. Their div- idends have been infrequent and intermittent. They want the situation settled one way or the other, but they do not want the political demagogues and inexperienced agitators to tamper with a delicate situation. Insurance companies of the nation handling great trust funds are heavy investors in railroad bonds. The solution of the situation means much to them, in fact to everyone in the nation. It has been popular to bear bait the corporations, and railroads have been on the preferred list of the bear baiters. But such a policy gets nowhere, settles nothing and leaves the investor and the public in a serious predicament. Doubtless economies can be practiced in the management of the railroads. Some consolidations probably can be effected that will cut the overhead. But railroad experts declare that there is a limit to profitable consolidation. That is not a sovereign panacea for the problems that confront a railroad. The economic ills that beset them are cumu- lative in nature. They came prominently to the surface just before the World War. Government operation post- poned settlement and the railroads were returned to their old management in worse shape than before. With shippers hounding for lower rates with better service and organized labor insisting on higher wages and shorter hours, those charged with the management of the great railroad properties are placing their cards upon the table and asking a fair adjustment of the difficulties. Government control and supervision of the common car- riers are on trial today. They have created present condi- tions in a large measure. Whether a solution can be found through these channels is highly problematical. The St. Paul receivership presents an interesting situation, for the kind of government control exerted over the railroads is really on trial with the management of that property which probably represents the greatest amount of capital ever thrown into a receivership. Present conditions can not obtain indefinitely. The rail- roads must be operated at a reasonable profit or they cannot finance themselves and if the situation becomes so acute that government ownership is the only answer, the shippers and taxpayers will find that the cost to them for transportation service will be far in excess of the demands made by the railroads of the nation for a readjustment of their revenues. THE BAD LAND TRIP Nation-wide attention to the proposed Roosevelt Me- morial Park in the Bad Land section of the state is being attracted by the trip which a representative party is making this week. Included in this party are many North Dakota ‘state officials including the governor, all of whom are bending their efforts toward securing a national park in North Dakota. The primary purpose of the trip is to impress the advisability of creating a national shrine in North. Dakota ,upon Raymond H. Torrey who, as secretary of the National Conference of State Parks, will inspect the region. The entire Northwest is interested in a national park to be dedicated to the memory of a great spirit who helped make history for North Dakota. The value of attraction which the park will have for tourists is inestimable, and tourists talk about the state through which they travel. After being impressed with the advantages of settling in North Dakota they will spread the word of the state’s fertile soil and pos- sibilities. Thus we can see that the park will be of great value in advertising the state. It is only right that North Dakota should avail itself of the fund set aside by the federal government for just such purposes. Other states are undertaking huge projects, such as irrigation, to which the federal government has contribut- ed liberally. North Dakota seeks only that which has been her right for years. WILD LIFE PRESERVATION Members of the state game board passed through here recently on their way to the western part of the state where it is intended to create a game preserve. Sportsmen have long advocated the preservation of wild life, and every step that will advance the movement is to be encouraged. Game is being destroyed in large numbers by hunters who on the other hand make no effort to perserve it, not only because it ig attractive but also because of its food value. Good sportsmen are opposed to ruthless game hunt- ers who would make a barren thing out of Nature. The conservation movement is not only a sentimental one but also an economic measure. When meat was plentiful in the forests and fish in the streams no man worried about his food supply. But that was long ago. Our forests are being quickly denuded of life by thought- less hunters and hordes of insects. Conservation is needed to rescue whatever life has resisted the scourge of the past generation and the country is beginning to realize that it is the only thing that will prevent extermination.

The wheat in question did not grade very high under the standards set by the United States. It graded No. 3 dark northern spring and tested 56% pounds to the bushel. The farmer who ‘brought it to the elevator, for like wheat, woul! be paid no iprem- jum.’ Why? Because it was not until the miller went to buy wheat and took a sampe of it that it was discovered to have a_protein con- tent of 19 per cent. That percent: age isa record. As a sidelight on the value of this content this ex planation ig quite clear: If all wheat used in the United States carried the mus: cle building protein content that was in this single carload, the bakeries in tne country could cut down their daily out- put of bread ‘by several million loaves and the ‘bodily energy ef the army of working men would not be lowered in the least. So much for the value of protein in wheat. It is not to be wonder- ed at that the millers bid for it and pay 65 cents a bushel above market. It is needed to give nourishment to the flour made from wheat of low protein grade. That is why flour from North Dakota mills is shipped east for mixing with the ‘soft wheat flour of the South and Southwest. Yet, does this superior value bring the farmer anything? Very little! _ In fact there have ibeen times (as in 1920) when the soft wheat grower was actually paid more for his wheat than the farmer who raisec! the hard wheat—prin- cipally ‘because the former reach- ed market with his product earlier, before the flood tide of wheat had beaten the price down. ‘There is therefore an increasing demand and a full-fledged organi- zation now at work to secure to the farmer the premium his wheat is entitled to and which the mill- ers pay. This is to be secured ‘by a modification of the grain graces and by a fair return to the farmer final sale to the millers, rather than the price received at the local elevator, where its protein content is unknown. That is sut justice and sooner or tater the price paid for wheat rich in protein will find its way to the pockets cf the man who raised it. This Montana wheat, grading No. 3 and weighing only 56% pounds to the bushel was worth more as food than 1 grade weighing 60 pounds. Yet, in the majority of cases, it actually brings less to the farmer who grows it. That condition must end. LIVING IN THE PAST (Altoona Mirror) ‘One Lancaster county woman has just brought suit aganist a neighbor who charged her with be- ing a witch and casting a spell on her cow. This ig interesting chief- ly as revealing the fact that there are \persons still living in Pennsy!- vania who ‘believe in witchcraft. There was a time when witch- craft and the evil eye held sway in a considerable section of the worlu. Our Puritan forefathers executed alleged witches. But the advance of knowledge during the pass'ng centuries has been so general that when one hears of belief in the evil eye and similar follies at this period of the worlds history one is apt to be surprised. Investigation, however, especial- ly in certain remote rural hamlets would probably surprise the inves: tigator. Belief in signs and tok- ens, in witces and witchcraft, wovld be found more general than hau! been suspected. TOM SIMS “SAYS a. Love is blind. It lost its eyesight overlooking things.

New York, June 16.—For ten cents any New Yorker may’ have at least one hour's relief from the heat that blankets the city. That is by means of the ferry ride td Staten Island. No matter how sultry the night the breeze across the bay is cool enough to make a coat comfortable. The ferry has its disadvantage, however; you can't sleep on it, because all passehgers must leave the boat at each terminal and reenter through) the nickel turnstiles, Even so, aj great number of people ride the} ferry all night, sacrificing sleep tor temporary respite from the heat. Richard T. Harriss, new president of the Cotton Exchange, has broken all traditions of the exchange in be-! ing elected to that office in his third year of membership. Also, he is one of the youngest men ever to hold| the office, being 45. He was selling; newspapers on the streets of Waco,! Texas, when he was seven. His fam- ily now owns 12, acres of cotton land there. One reason for his great popularity is that he knows more; town. e The heat affects many businesses in many ways. Women decoys for one line of sightseeing buses went company refused to pay higher wages during the hot spell. Prob- lably there is no more uncomfortable place in the world than the seat of an auto standing still on a hot street. All of the sightseeing con- eerns employ women, and’ sometimes | men, to partly fill the idle buses soj that prospective riders will believe that they will not have long to wait for a full load.

Why Chinese Wars Interest Us Europe spent a thousand years in constant local wars, and survived it. Why can’t we let China, or Africa, do the same thing? We could, if they would fight with their own weapons, as our ancestors did. But when you equip barbarian war with civilized weapons, it has to be kept within civilized limits. War has grown unendurable, even between the big nations, but nothing has been developed enough bigger than they to stop them. There is something enough more powerful than the small and the weak to stop them. So the big fighting nations may have to tell the small ones to stop fighting. that home.
