Brookhart Blames High Freight Rates For Part of Farmers’ Troubles FARM BILL NOT CURE-ALL af Towan Proposes Bill Requiring Consolidation of All Rail- road Systems Washington, Nov. 3—(?)—Enact- ment of a railroa consolidation measure as part of the farm relief (diag was advocated today by ‘enator Brookhart of Iowa, in a statement issued in behalf of the ercup of western independent Re- publican senators. “The farm problem,” he said, “cannot be solved by the mere enact- ment of a farm bill. There is no single farm bill that is a cure-all ‘or all the discriminations against agrictulture. About 10 per cent of the farmers’ troubles are due to ex- cess charges for ‘ra .sportation.” May Use Radio The independents who favor the presidential candidacy of Senator Norris of Nebraska,one of their group, worked on plans today for spreading their views ‘through the middlewest by use of the radio. Norman Baker, owner of a 10,000- watt broadcasting station at Musca- tine, Iowa, has volunteered to erect a small station here by which to carry their messages to his station for rebroadcasting. If the campaign is pushed into other states than Nebraska, it seems destined to force a showdown be- tween the farm -o.ces led by Nor- tis and Lowden, both advocates of the vetoed McNary-t'a.gen bill. | Edward: Senator Borah of Idaho, one of Norris’ chief supporters, voted against the McNary measure,but in reply to the criticism of him ‘by the St. Louis farm ee ee he asked that “friends agricul- ture be not misled.” He also called on the confererce to namie its can- didate. ‘ Weuld Ferse-Conselidation Senator Brookbart proposed a bill requiring railroads to consolidate by condemnation of their stocks and bonds, providing for their operation in a “littl private co! tion, earnings of which would be fixed by | ti law, with power in congress to re- capture the stock at par.” ‘he Iowa senator de“ red that Amer: -an farme-s re-eived about 15 cents a bushel less for their wheat crops than Canadian farmers be- canes of railroad rate discrimina- ions, He declared that tentative valua- tion of the railroads by the inter- state commerce commission g..ve the roads “a legalized value of $7,000,- 000,000 more thar their market val- ue, as the farms ure always valued. “The law then gives them a re- turn of five and three-quarter per cent upon this entire valuation, wa- ter and.all. The farmers must con- tribute in excess fcient rates to pay thi return, as we have seen upon He recalled that in the first year after wartime government opera- tion, operating expenses of the rail- roads were increased by $1,485,000,- 000 of which, he said, $600,000,000 went to labor increase “and the bal-| H. ance to graft and th inefficiency of private operation.” J.

ART GOEBEL MAY ATTEMPT OCEAN TRIP Honolulu Flyer Announces In: tention to Fly to Europe— Will Design Plane ‘ New York, Nov. 3—(P)—' Mrs. Frances Wilson Grays m- phibian monoplane Dawn waited for @ pilot to guide it in its fourth start for Copenhagen, a new entry in the transatlantic air ucventure appeared in the person of Colonel Arthur C. Gopbel, winner of the Dole derby from California to Honolulu. Colonel Goebel, who had been mentioned as a possible pilot for the Dawn, told a bankers’ club luncheon of his plamto “ly to Euro} in a multi-motored plane to be di- rected by radio beacons located along his route, possibly in New- foundland and Ireland. He said the plane would carry two or tkree en- gines and be built according to his own designs. Ascribing the success of his Pa- cific flight to the help of radio bea- cons, Colonel Goebel said the latest improvements in this regard would be placed at his disposal'by Captain ds, director of signal corps espe at Wright Field, Dayton. le is seeking to obtain the services of Lieutenant Slattery, of the naval air station at Hampton Roads, as navigator. Mrs, Grayson Determined Mrs. Grayson held tenaciously to her determination to c.oss the At- lantie in the Dawn, despite the three failures of the plane-to-funce tion properly, and the resignation of her pilot, Wilmer Stultz. Mrs. Grayson denied she had made efforts to engage Major Clarence D. berlin as pilot because his par- ight would make it “an all. mberlin undertaking.” She emphasized that any trip the Dawn made would be to advance the cause of women in aviation. “Chamberlin came to me with a Proposition,” she said, “to take over the Dawn and incorporate it in an air line hetween Havana and Key West. I told him the lane was not for sale, and that it had been built for an_ international flight by women.” Balchen Only One Considered She insisted the only airman she was considering for the place was Bernt Balchen, Fokker test flyer and co-pilot of Commander Byrd's America. Balchen said he was considering the offer Mrs. Grayson had made to him, but would not decide until he has flown the Dawn and tested it thoroughly. An acceptance by him, she said, would also be con- tingent upon his release on leave of absence by the Fokker company. le declared that any trinsatlantic flying involving him would have to it on ‘his return from Cuba, whither he papers to fly soon to deliver a new Fokker plane destined for service in the Pan-American Airways. Mrs. ‘Grayson said she would re- veal. soon an “international air scheme,” which, she said, might take her to Europe by boat to perfect.

G. SORLIE Why do we want a terminal mar- ket in North Dakota, and why do we want freight rates on our grain to ‘break at th:t market? Let me point| ‘i out a fev reasons why North Da-| | kota is making an. effort to have its oe established and fairly recog- nized, Markets were established prima: ily wherever there was merchan <o sell for the. purpose of giving consumers the particular merchan- dise they wanted. This was, of course, before markets became com- mercialized. At the present time it is very evident that markets are bi ig the Cdnters, rather than having centers build fp their mar- kets at the places where particular commodities are produced. Wheat Loses Identity Years ago, when we first com- menced to raise our wonderful hard spring wheat that wp produce in forth Dakota, we had no marketing facilities other than that afforded by our local elevators. eleva-, tors had to find their markets at some developed central point, such as the Twin Cities, Duluth or Chi- cago, In those. days such m: ing. was conridered quite sat tory. Our hard spring wheat, whic! is a distinctive. product, was then kept by ‘tself at such term as a distinctive commodity, and sold to the millers as a hard spring | wheat. In those days when the mill- a Mea wheat. they . ry fess whe! y wore. pering: an gotid he-.sar. “t hard spring wheat for. bread making pur- poses. But times have changed, and today our wheat has lost its iden- tity in the millixz world. At present our wheat is shipped, as it was in the early days, to the markets in the Twin Cities, Duluth and Chicago, but there it is blended and mixed with inferior soft wheats until only about 25 per cent of our wheat is included in what is known as ‘Millers’ Mix.” Millers who used to grind our hard spring wheat into flour now grind Millers’ Mix. Consumers who think they are getting hard sprig wheat flour are getting a blended wheat flour which does not contain more than 25 per cent of our hard spri g wheat. Now. since we havi product, a wheat that is recognizec as the best bread wheat in the Uni- ted States, is it not reasonable that we should expect to have a market where we can handle our wheat so that the millers and consumers who deal with us can be sure of getting a flour that is ground from hard; spring wheat, just as they were sure of getting our wheat years ago The merchandising of wheat is no different than the merchandising of any other commodity. When you go into a jstore and ask for a certain brand of soda or baking powder, or any other article, and the merchant tells you that he does not handle that brand but has another cheaper brand that is just good, you may take his brand but you find, on us-| ing it, that it is not as good as the brand you had formerly used. This is the case with flour made from mixed wheats; it is not as good as in exclusive flour ground from North Dakota) y, hard spriny wheat. Protein Basis Important At the present kota hard ‘spring wheat is being sold: on a protei: basis instead of a! le although the option tis ow Gay mien pr now avheat on 8 pro- tein, basis. In 1925 we produced a good protein wheat, running somes what higher in protein than the win- ter wheat and soft wheat, conse- » You thet the protein in winter wheat af-. fects the protein in our spring wheat wheat does not make sonable, just and fair. that we should have our own market for our wees so that any iniller who wants a X wet =/SRVERE STORM Establishment of C.

Students from this state have formerly attended the C. M. T. C. at Fort Snelling, Minn, Although the change will save the government, it is estimated, more than $9,000 in transportation costs, the war depart- ment is not at this time in a posi- tion to promise additional funds for installations at Fort Lincoln. Troops to Provide Leadership The facilities afforded by the nearby state capital lead the local authorities to believe an unusual in- “| terest will be taken in the study of citizenship, one of the leading fea- tures of the C. M. T. camps. The historic Fourth Infantry, which has played a leading role in the stirring events of national history since 1792, will act as associate unit, providing the boys with leadership and instruc- tors, as well as caring for their mess arrangements. Baseball, basketball and track, well other recreational facilities to nearby points of inter- est, will be provided. The camp is without cost to the boys participat- ing, except for such spending money as they may feel they require. They are also expected to reimburse the government for federal property they may lose or damage through neglect, provided poi are financial- ly able to do so. Food, - clothing, lodging, equipment, transportation to and from camp, and medical at- tendance, are furnished by the gov- ernment. ‘The exact date of the camp is not: yet fixed. ‘Sach camps are custo- marily of one month’s duration.
