WATER CONSERVATION WEEK Governor Shafer Asks Organiza- tions and Residents to Assist Program A proclamation designating Sept. 24 to 30 as “State Water Conserva- tion Week,” was issued Friday by Governor George F. Shafer. The governor urged all public ser- vice bodies, civic organizations, clubs and citizens to cooperate throughout the week in construction and develop- ment of local water conservation pro- jects. The proclamation: “Whereas, there has developed dur- ing the past few years a considerable deficiency in the water resources of the state, due in part to the long drouth period through which the northwest has recently passed and to other causes, which deficiency is evidenced by a shortage in water sup- Plies in the lakes, riv coulees, sloughs and other w er sites; and i “Whereas, it is highly important and beneficial, as well as essential to the health and well-being of the people of North Dakota, that all of our water resources be conserved and | protected and that every effort be made to prevent any further diminu- tion of our water supplies; and “Whereas, elaborate plans have been engineer and the state game and fish; department for the construction of | dams and other similar improvements | at numerous locations appropriate throughout the state for the conser- vation and protection of existing water resources and the active sup- port and assistance of the citizens of the communities affected is necessary to the successful execution of such water conservation plans; “Now, therefore, I, George F. Shafer, Governor of the State of North Da- kota, do hereby designate and pro- claim the period from Sept. 24 to Sept. 20, 1932. inclusive, as State Water Conservation Weck and I do hereby earnestly invite and urge all public service bodies, including the Greater North Dakota association, American Legion posts, Izaak Walton League and other sportsmen’s clubs, service creeks, | | Ernestine Carufel, Bi June Boardman, Bismarck. made under the direction of the state loans Hall, Bismarck . |Ethel Fisher, Bismarck | state engineer and the state game and fish department or wherever such local dam projects might prove feas!- | ble to the end that by a general state-_ wide citizens’ cooperative movement, the water resources of North Dakota |may be preserved and enhanced.” C ONTINUE D: t from page one | Will Get Free Trip | To Florida Resort | As ‘Miss Bismarck’ here on a Northern Pacific train at 12:11 p. m.

DEPOT 17 New Reduced Prices ,United States senate and house of | representatives are being asked by the women’s organization for national prohibition reform to state their stand on the prohibition question. Mrs. Ruth Phelan Stewart, Bowman, {state chairman of the organization jhas put the following question to the candidates: “If elected, will you support a reso- lution for the straight repeal of the ; 00 each state of its power to regulate |the manufacture, sale and transpor- ; tation of intoxicating beverages with- in its own limits, such resolution to be submitted to conventions in the sev- eral states for ratification or rejec- tion.” “What difference, if any, will it make in your vote if North Dakota repeals its dry law this fall?” One of the candidates, R. B. Mur- phy, Bismarck, Democratic nominee for congressman, already has replied, answering the first question in the affirmative. “My only reservation on this ques- tion is that I would favor federal leg- islation to protect states preferring to remain in the dry column from the| importation of liquor from other parts of the United States,” Murphy said. Referring to the proposed initiated measure to repeal North Dakoia’s dry law, Murphy said that if repeal is voted it “would be to me only addi- tional proof that the people of my state are overwhelmingly against the 18th amendment. “I believe it will take more courage, on account of the traditional rever- ence which the average voter is apt to have for the state's original pro- hibitory law written into our consti- tution, to vote for the absolute wip- ing out of every vestige of state law on the matter than it will to simply vote to repeal the 18th amendment. I am sorry that this second is raised, because it strikes me that it gives a loop-hole for candidates to crawl through by promising to follow the ‘ople! We have had too much of| that kind of buck-passing in the past. } “I am against the 18th amendment! because it has failed to do what was expected of it, viz. to prohibit the use of liquor as a beverage, and worse back the cause of scientific instruc- tion in temperance among our young people to an alarming extent. I firm- ly believe that the prevention of the use of liquor as a beverage can be done in one way only, and that is through education of the young along sane and scientific lines. While this is a slow process, it is nevertheless sure and steady. “In taking this stand I am follow- ing the Democratic national platform and our candidates for president and vice president.” Sterling Woman Still In Critical Condition Mrs. George Harding of Sterling, badly burned Tuesday when a fire in & gasoline stove ignited her clothes, till was in a critical condition Friday. er attending physician said.

This was a signal for Hurley’s ire to rise. , He jtore into Hoover's critics with a vim and declared that those who criticized jHoover today were in the same class with those who found fault with George Washington following the ‘Revolutionary War. | “Don’t judge President Hoover”, he shouted, “by what has happened. | Judge him with what would have hap- |pened had he not been president.” | This brought more smiles than ap- plause, as did his reference to Hoover as a poor Iowa farm boy, reaching success through his own efforts and “pounding the pavements of San Francisco for a job.” The boys did not boo. The crowds in the stands did not applaud. Hur- ley hurried on, sensing a critical and pnet too cordial reception of his re- ;marks, He spoke from manuscript but omitted delivery of page after page. No Farm Relief Plan There had been great expectations | that Hurley would present some form of farm relief. He frankly said he had none until the farmers themselves agree on a plan that is constitutional. He said he was for such a plan but it must come from the farmers them- selves. He attacked Roosevelt for saying that the depression was born in the United States, declaring vehemently that the Democrats could not put that infant at the white house door. He said the child of depression was of European parentage and was con- ceived years ago over seas and not in America. He made little atempt to answer Roosevelt's Topeka speech except to poke fun at it and Roosevelt. In fact, constructively, the Hurley de- fense of Republican policies failed lamentably. He reiterated the Kansas City platform promises of 1928 about putting agriculture on a parity with other industry “as our dear friend Senator Norbeck has advocated.’ Why tariff parity was still only a promise, Hurley never explained to his audience. Secretary Hurley was a guest of honor at a banquet in the evening to which were invited political workers of the state and from other middle west sections, called here to determine Republican strategy in the agricul- tural centers of this vast territory. In the past, there has been no ques- tion how North and South Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa and Nebraska would go in presidential elections. | Things Are Different Now The northern farmers usually vote for high tariffs and Republicans as a matter of course, but now things are is debatable ground politically. The Republicans have a fight on their hands unequalled by anything in po- tical history since the days of Taft and the Payne-Aldrich tariff which defeated a Republican congress and sent Champ Clark to the speaker's chair as the Hawley-Smoot tariff muddle elevated “Jack” Garner. Governor Green and Senator Nor- back are here to tell Hurley about the farmers’ revolt against the Republican party and what the farm leaders call @ succession of broken promises. Gov- ernor Green called the recent confer- ence at Sioux City, Iowa, to discuss the Farmers’ Holiday movement. Sec- retary Hurley was anxious to get po- litical reaction to that farm develop- ment which is still rampant in its insurgency. Editors of the Republican news- papers interviewed do not hesitate to say that if the election were held to- morrow Roosevelt would cary South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska without @ question. They are hoping, how- ever, the economic changes will come between now and November 8 which will keep these states in the Republi- can column. One stalwart Republican editor, whom I am not at liberty to quote directly, told me that he was deeply impressed with Roosevelt's Topeka speech, that it laid down a very defi- different.

Harvey Asks Bids on Water Treating Plant Harvey, N. D., Sept. 16—(AP)— Bids on a proposal to establish a fil- tration plant here to give residents of Harvey iron-free water are to be opened September 19. Work on the project, to be con- structed at an estimated cost of $10,000, is expected to get underway immediately after the contract is awarded. There is sufficient money in the water fund to pay for the project without calling for a bond issue. At a meeting earlier this month Harvey officials opened bids for the project but, unable to arrive at a de- cision, postponed awarding of the contract and called for new bids. Since then they have been able to visit and investigate other plants in the state. A. L. Bavone, state sanitary en- gineer, assisted the city in selecting the proper method for removal of iron from the water.
