(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Proposed Farm Relief Organiz the fundamental features of a farm ed agriculture has agreed upon some of ; relief bill.

Some points of agreement for farm relief as as the various agricultural organizations are con- | r cerned are: First: Corn helt committees want a surplus con trol and price stab ion bill, Second: That the federal government advance $ 000,000 or as much more a: is needed for revelving fund to operate the price-raising machin- ery, the government to be reimbursed from funds contributed by the producers. Third: Appointment by the President of a farm board which shall cause the price of a farm product to be bid up to a level agreed upon as a reasonable home market price, any loss from such an opera- sessed on the producers, “tion to be met by fees Fourth: As far as livesteck prices are concerned, Congress may be asked to make packing‘ concerns public utilities so that the charges for the services they perfurm can be regulated much in the same manner as are railroad rates by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Most of these points have been incorporated in 4 bill drawn by the committee of 22, the American Council of Agriculture, the American Farm Bureau farm organizations. The authors of the bill have this to say relative federation and several other to the the revolving fund proposal: “In anticipation of the several funds to be raised by a charge upon the com- modities as herein , proposed, the {board should be provided with a revolving fund sufficient in amount adequately to finance the operation of the board, any advance- ment for this purpose to be repaid to the United States from the respective com- modity funds to which the same shall have been distributed. We estimate that when the beard begins to function it will re- quire a fund of-approximately $250,000,000, to be advanced as required, but we realize that a much greater amount may be needetl before receipts from the commodity charge and other sources become operating requirements. “The board should be given broad powers in borrowing funds, without government liability. “In carrying out its functions, the board should be assured the co-operation of exist- ing government agencie: Arthur Sears Henning, writing in the Chicago => Tribune, gives this example of the way the price raising plan would operate: “Here is the way the price raising plan would operate in the case of wheat: With the world price of wheat at, say, $1.50 a bushel the farm board would decide that the farmers should be getting $1.92, which 4 would be the world price plus the tariff. + Designated agencies would be authorized “S14 hid up the wheat price on the exchanges to not more than $1.92. Any surplus ac- quired in this bidding would be stored or sold abroad. “The loss on the expert sales would be 42 cents a bushel, which would be met by the proceeds of equalizing fees of, say, 8 cents‘a bushel on the entire crop, entering into trade channels. The farmer who paid a fee of 8 cents and got an increased price of 42 cents on his wheat would be the gainer to the extent of 34 cents a bushel.” Bank Consolidations Bank consolidations are one of the encouraging | signs in the financial situation of North Dakota. The list of mergers as announced by Gilbert Seming- son reflects an honest effort to stabilize banking conditions in those counties where too many banks militated against success and where competitive conditions invited improper methods, Mr. Semingson is right in stating that the need Following 1916 ‘and in fact during the period of the World War arid even after the Armistice, the organization ef panks was far in excess of any legitimate demand. ‘The pendulum has swung to the one extreme and now the state bank examiner notes q trend in the other direction in the several mergers which he Has is for fewer but stronger banks. _ announced. man; ‘eonditions to Mr, Semingson, y instances banks have beeri moved from where business was not profitable to others were better and banking facilities small bank at the country cross roads, finds it hard to show ‘Many ventures not strictly of a banking The Bismarck Tribunel ono", try.“ rr * eee mt | | Dr. Jekyll a | Position Sound _ President Coolidge is not a novice at the political Published by the Bismarck Tribune Company, | game.

Another surprise was in store for him, for there was only one person into the dining room and that was Samuel Church. Good Lord, he thought. She could not mean Sam Church.
