Editor, Tribure: From’ information at hand it ap- pears there is a movement on for another outside pool or scheme for the marketing of grain. From observa- tion of former similar outside pools and marketing schemes I suggest that before joining serious consideration ‘be given the following: Investigate the men organizing and the men in charge and be certain that they have clean past records for hon- orable dealings and that they are practical grain men with actual ex perience and thaye been successful in that undértaking and not in the game for experiment. Will the’ men hav at stake and i sustained who will foot the bill? Will the men give an accounting, if so, how ofter and to whom? Have the men electee, themselves or 1h menibers elected them? How will the men de elected in the future? Wijl the men be un- der bonds, if so, what form of bonds and to whom? Will the men report to the Railroad and Warehouse com- mission of this state monthly showing the condition of the business and be under the supervision of the Railroad and Warchouse commission as cleva- tors in the state operating do and are? Is there any, paid in capital stock or other resources, if so, how much and whut does same consist of, for ‘the protection of the party turning “over grain? Keep in mind that a crop is matur- ing about every two months on some part of the globe and that it is very possible that if our crop is held off the market a certain length of time ‘that some other country maturing a crop and marketing it in the mean: time ip very apt to get the benefit at our expense. nada has two very large mar keting agencies known as the Pool and Co-operative, and both are con sidered very successful and gigantic Dut still at the same time the Can- are considerably lower than ours and it is a fact that we had to raise the duty not so long ago from twenty-five cents per bushel ‘on ‘wheat to forty-two cents to keep the Fees ‘from that country from flood- . ing our markets after paying consid- erable additional freigh+ besides. the duty to our markets.

And we ask the mem- bers of the next legislature to intro- duce a bill providing for such an election and in case the same is de- feated that an initiative law be pro- posed and submitted to the voters.

We therefore urge upon the convention at Devils Lake to endorse both of them as senatorial candi- dates, one for the short term and one for the long term, to the end that their names go on the ballots in the primarics and special, election in June.” 1. V. A. Resolutions The resolutions presented for the I. V. A. convention referred only to state owned and operated enterprises. They read as follows: “Be it resolved by the Independent Voters association of Burleigh coun- ty, in county convention assembled, t it is the sense the conven- tion that as soon as this can be feas> ibly done the state of North Dakota hould discontinue the operation of all enterprises in which it is now en- gaged, in competition with private business.” While the committees were: trans- acting their business, Attorney Gen- eral George Shafer addressed the del- egutes on the political situation, go- ing into considerable detail concern- ing the operations of the state mill. In round figures, Mr. Shafer pointed out, the mill now represents a total investment of four and a: half mil- li of dollars, all of which must be eventually paid out of taxation, as no sinking.fund has been provided to re- tire the bonds outstanding against this enterprise, exeept such as. come from taxes. AN deficit incurred .by the operation of the mill must be made up by taxation, he safd, ex- ued to fi- nance this project represented a jien on the property of every taxpayer. Mill Runs at a Loss 5 Attacking the contention of Non- partisan League officials that. the mill had made sufficient gain during st year to justify the belief: ould eventually be a paying ion, Mr. Shafer gave figures to show that the mill showed a los: for each month of 1925 from January. to August, inclusive. During Septem- ber, October and November it made a profit, but the loss in December re- duced the total profit for the four months to about $22,000, and the to- tal net loss for last year was ap- proximately $188,000. The speaker called attention to the fact that’ in 1924, under the Nestos regime, the mill shawed a logs for the first six months but that during the last six months it made a lurger. profit than was shown during the profitable months of 1925. Du 1924, he ‘said, the mill was operal at full capacity, and part of the tite) it even exceeded its rated capacity. The mill has three units, two for the manufacture of flour from spring! wheat and one for the manufacture of flour from durum wheat. During confident. thet Mr., at-such a great loss, according to Mr. Shafer, and because of the lack of a local market for the product. The other two units were not oper- ated at full capacity. Flour Costs More Flour from the state mill is cost- ing the people from 25 cents to $1 a barre! more than flour from privately own mills, Mr. Shafer said, whereas the state mill was: supposed to fur- nish cheaper flour. It was also sup- posed to increase the price the farm- er would receive for his wheat, he said, but in fact was paying only so much as it was compelled to in order 4 to get the wheat. ‘ Referring to the mill at Drake! 44; re ‘ which the industrial commission has | zhitoty N_ Dz, Feb. 19-—Yen 4.

Mr. Shafer advocated’ leasing of the state mill at Grand Forks for whatever sum could be obtained from some private corpor: ‘One and a half millions of dollars of the total cost of the mill is in working capital --wheat, flour and cash—and the, speaker suggested that this stock be: all turned into cash and the money put into a fund at interest. ‘The state could thereby retire $1,500,000 of the outstanding bonds, ‘leaving only about $3,000,000 to pay’ interest on instoad of $4,500,000 as at pres- ent. at Fargo ty under bonds since the: iif’ of. the in- dictme: James.
