This » ¢ production of a commodity that en- ters into national competition. In other words the idle wheat lands cannot be planted to corn and other grain that would be sold in the mar- ket places. | The land may be used for soil| building legumes, or for crops that! ‘would stop soil erosion or for produc- ing food that would be consumed on the farm, Callander explained how the plan will reduce acreage under the late crops for the man who has been in-| creasing his acreage planted to wheat in late years, while it would increase acreage for the man who has been re- 4 ducing his acreage in late years. Gives Illustration He took as an illustration the man who had planted 100 acres in 1930, 75 acres in 1931 and 50 acres in 1932. His average for the three years would be 75 acres and even if he reduced by 20! per cent that would give him 60 acres or more than his last acreage. Reversing the process, the man who Planted 50 acres in 1930, 75 acres in 1931 and 100 acres in 1932 also would have an average of 75 acres for the three years, and he would have to back to 60 acres under the plan. “The whole idea of this act is to bring up the purchasing power of the farmer to the 1909-1914 parity.” Far- rell said. “If the farmer tries to cheat, the law will not suffer, he will suffer. “It must be remembered that ad-/ justed production is being planned for; many domestic crops. livestock and other farm produce. One of the pur- poses of the law will be to prevent an increase in production of some other commodity on the land that is held out of production, for instance, the. wheat areas may not add to the com-/} petition of the corn producers, hog) producers or dairying when the latter attempt to control acreage or produc- tion in their own lines. © Lists Meeting | ‘Two ideas are back of the meetings | which are being held throughout the country, Wilson said. The first is educational, to acquaint the extension officials, county agents | and others who will be called upon to help put the plan into effect, with its details so that they may place the matter intelligently before the wheat farmers. ‘The second purpose is to gather facts and get the reaction of the ex- tension officials as to the working out of the details of the plan in their particular areas. “While the broad general plans have worked out, the campaign has not yet started, and there are nu- merous policies not yet completely formulated,” he said. The program which is tentatively worked out provides that the farmers will be paid compensation on a por- tion of three wheat crops, those which will be raised in 1933, 1934 and 1935, provided they agree to reduce their acreage in 1934 and 1935. They will be asked to cut their acre- age by not to exceed 20 per cent of their production in 1930, 1931 and is. Two Plans Are Offered ‘There are two plans being consid- ered for determining what the farm- ers production. was in 1930, 1931 and 1932. Plan “A” would provide that the farmer use his average acreage for the three years in question and mul- tiply that by the average yield for his county. As an example, the average yield per acre for Cass county for those three years is 14.8 bushels per acre. A Cass county farmer who had an average of 300 acres of wheat for the last three years would be compensated cn a basis of a total production of 300 times 14.8 or 4,400 bushels. But it is held this would penalize the good farmer by giving the man who had farmed poorly and had re- ceived low yields, more than his aver- ‘age production, while the man who hhad produced good yields and had a production above the average would also be held to that general average and would therefore be of compen- sated on a lower basis than his own ectual average yields. Plan “B” would be to base the com- {Continued on Page Nine) ‘jeent which bakers deem necessary in MADE NECESSARY BY INCREASE IN GOSTS Local Baker Asks People to Withhold Judgment on Profiteering Charges Belief that the government will ap- Prove recent increases in the price of bread by North Dakota bakers was expressed here Friday by John Hoff- man, manager of the Bismarck Bak- ing company, in commenting upon charges of “profiteering” by the bak- ing industry, received in Washington. “In a'recent telegram to the Iowa bakers,” Hoffman said, “Secretary Wallace demanded to know how they justified a sharp increase in the price of bread when their costs had increas- ed only one and third cents a pound. “The figure given by the secre- tary is the exact amount which North Dakota bakers have increased the Price, since our loaves are 114 pounds. “In Towa, however, I happen to know that the bakers had been en- gaging in a price war and the addit- fonal increase was made to adjust the {disastrous situation which had re- sulted. “We may have made a mistake in advancing the price two cents all at once. We would have been justified in raisirig it a cent a month ago, and again when the wheat processing tax} becomes effective. Instead we defer- red any raise until five days before the tax went into effect (July 9) and then raised it two cents. “In addition to the recent rise in wheat prices, the cost of lard, sugar, milk and wrapping paper has ad- vanced recently, in line with other commodities. This has raised the baker's costs. “It should be clearly understood that the baker gets none of this two- cent raise. It is passed on to the farmer. About one third of the flour consumed in this country is used by commercial bakers. They must pay jone third of the benefits which the new law gives to the farmer and the money must come from the consumer. “We hope the people will withheld their judgment and make proper in- vestigation before condemning the bakers as ‘profiteers.’ If they do, they will find that the bakers are playing fairly with the consuming public. It is only good business for them to do so. But they cannot bear the burden of increased prices without passing some of it along to the consumer.” Hoffman said local bakers are sell- ing @ pound and a half loaf for 10 cents, wholesale, and a pound loaf for seven cents. Commercial bakers have no control over retail prices, he said. i STATE BAKERS AGREE TO LIFT BREAD PRICE Adoption of a code of ethics to pre- vent “unfair and cut throat” busi- ness and setting of a minimum retail price of a standard loaf of bread at 12 cents, effective next Monday, were made at a meeting of 60 North Da- kota bakers’ here Thursday. The conference was called by R. u| Hawes, Wahpeton, president of the North Dakota Bakers association. The néw price is an increase of one; view of rising prices of other com- modities and of the government pro- cessing tax. The code of ethics prohibits the sale cf baked goods on consignment in any manner to any individual or corpora- tion; prohibits the sale of baked goods | below a minimum price; prohibits secret discounts and rebates of any type, and forbids use of gifts, prizes, premiums and samples of all types. Resolutions also were adopted and sent to Secretary Wallace protesting recent press dispatches coming from’ Washington in regard to beests in bread prices as unfair to and incon- jeiderate of the bakery industry. gen’s blowup. his last round for a total of 301, after leading the field for two days. series for the national title at New Orleans Sept. 1, 2 and 3.

The vote came after an all-day battle over the proposal by Neville Chamberlain, British chancellor of the exchequer, that the full agenda be continued, including monetary matters, which the gold countries; have been fiercely opposing. The British dominions, Scandinavia and the countries of the Far East and Latin America, lined up almost solidly with Chamberlain's position, which supports the American thesis. Among those supporting the gold bloc in demanding elimination of monetary questions until currency stabilization should be accomplished were Spain, Lithuania, Roumania, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Tur- key. Will Be Reported Monday Friday's decision, which was in a subcommittee of the monetary com- mission, will be reported to the steer- ing committee Monday for confirma- tion or reversal. ‘The committee on commercial pol- iey, a subordinate group of the eco- nomic commission, voted a few hours earlier to exclude discussion of tar- iffs and quotas from the revised agenda, approving a French demand by eight to seven voices. The American delegation, although beaten temporarily on the question of treating tariffs and quotas, hoped to reverse this decision in the steer- ing committee. The vote in the monetary sub- group was hailed by the Americans as another victory for their policy, since it amounts to approval of the idea of continuing the full confer- ence. Bonnet vs. Couzens Friday’s proceedings were enliv- ened by a contest in eloquence and argument between Georges Bonnet, French finance minister and leader of the gold bloc, and Senator James Couzens of Michigan, speaking for America and those countries which are supporting the American pro- gram.

MINNESOTA COURT UPHOLDS MORTGAGE | FORECLOSURE LAW Says Conditions Justify It, Even Though It Violates U. S. Constitution St. Paul, July 7.—(#)}—The Minne- sota state supreme court, in a six-to- ene decision Friday upheld as consti- ytutional the two-year emergency | mortgage foreclosure relief act passed ‘by the 1933 legislature. Economic conditions justified the jlaw, the court ruled, even though it jtuns counter to Article One of the | federal constitution. At the same time, the court held ‘that Gov. Floyd B.

This country can’t stand a new col- lapse.” The administrator added, however, that he believed a number of the basic industries would be ready to present codes within a brief time designed to increase wages and spread work. Use Power Sparingly Administrators of the farm act meanwhile refused to invoke the drastic licensing power provided them under the bill to enforce trade agree- ments in a case affecting the Chicago milk shed. As a result, the first agreement Presented to them may be withdrawn. This was submitted by producers and distributors in the Chicago milk shed who drafted it to end what they described as “ruinous competition.” It was reported that in conferences with administrators they threatened to withdraw their proposal unless they were assured that it would be enforced, and that they insisted that enforcement be through licensing. They were informed by administra- tors that wage scales and hours of la- jbor in milk distribution would have to be covered in a code subject to the ;@pproval of Johnson. | Representatives of the Chicago group were reported to have contend- ed the policy of the farm administra- tors in insisting on the labor provision jand its refusal to license would have ithe effect of “making the farm act serve the purpose of labor instead of the farmer.” Cummings Lifts Voice Attorney General Cummings added his voice to those of government of- ficials who are sounding warnings to industry with a statement that the government will enforce the anti- trust laws except in those cases where \industries place themselves under the {recovery act.

Offers Vigorous Dissent In a dissenting opinion, Associate Justice R. A. Stone said the law both federal and state constitutions.” Associate Justice Andrew Holt, who} wrote the majority opinion, pointed out that the North Dakota mortgage redemption law was overthrown by the supreme court of the state, and {stated that while that law extended the time of redemption uncondition- | ally, under the Minnesota law the! mortgagor or the one who desires to} avail himself of the extension, must | pay the reasonable rental value of; the property during the period of ex-| tension to the party holding the cer- | tficate of sale. | “It appears to us that this provi-/| sion of our law may be held to pro-/ vide compensation so that there is no/| taking of property without due pro-/| cess of law,” he said. | “However, there can be no doubt that in some degree our act, as well | as that of North Dakota, impairs the | obligations of the mortgage contract, | and hence runs counter to Section 10, jaro, One of the federal constitu- | tion. | “But our conclusion is that the leg- impairment is no more than reason- ably necessary.

Initial Sermon At First Lutheran Sunday Rey. G. Adolph Johns, newly-or- dained minister of the - Augustana Lutheran synod, has arrived in Bis- marck to become pastor of the First Lutheran church here and the Maria Lutheran church at Braddock. Rey. Johns succeeds Dr. J. Moody in the pastorate here and Rev. Aug- ust Westlund at Braddock. Rev. Johns will preach his first sermon in the local church, 616 Ave- nue D, Sunday morning. Sunday eve- ning he will visit the Braddock con- gregation, services beginning at 7:30 o'clock. “Industrial and other groups must abide by the terms and conditions of the anti-trust laws, unless and until they obtain actual exemption from certain of the requirements thereof by formulating a code under the na- tional recovery act and obtaining its approval by the president,” he said. His announcement followed a speech by Donald Richberg, general counsel of the recovery administra- tion, in which he told the Merchants’ Association of New York that unless business takes advantage of the chance for self-government, “the ad- vantage of political control over pri- vate industry is inevitable.” Hugh 8S. Johnson, recovery adminis- trator, had yet to talk the situation over in detail with President Roose- velt. But officials said that unless other industries quickly follow the cotton textile trade, whose code of fair competition is about ready for Presidential approval, the chief exe- cutive may decide to promulgate some pinieelt, He has that right under the law. Form Organization Of Lignite Miners Organized to promote the interests | and welfare of the iignite industry generally, the North Dakota Lignite Operators association, with headquar- ters at Fargo has filed articles of in- corporation with the secretary of state with an authorized capital stock of $25,000.

Killen, Minot. Increased efficiency and effective- ness in the conduct of business, af- fairs and operations of the lignite in- dustry is sought and efforts will be made to develop and encourage high- er standards of industry, to improve ethics and eliminate unfair competi- tion, directors said. Dealing in the wholesale and retail fuel business, the association will pro- vide counsel for the prosecution or defense of any action pertinent to the industry, in the courts or before state or federal officers. Prohibition Battle Rages in Deep South Montgomery, Ala., July 7.—(#)—The contest over prohibition has moved into the deep south where three states vote on the question soon and repeal- ists are raising the old issue of state rights. Concentrated campaigns are under way in Alabama and Arkansas which vote July 18 and in Tennessee which holds its election July 20, Repealists believe victory in Arkan- sas and Alabama would presage speedy repeal and haye a psycholog- ieal effect on Tennessee. Prohibition- ists want to hold the traditionally dry territory of the old south. Both sides express hope. for repeal. Twenty others would have vo follow suit to repeal the 18th amendment.

Hayden R. Mills, the other backer, was yacht- ing on Lake Michigan and could not. be reached. Anadir, or Anadyr, is a trad: on the Anadyr river in far ieee Siberia, north of the Kamchatka pen- insula, near the Bering sea, and gen- erally along the route Mattern took in attempting to fly from Khabarovsk to Nome, Alaska. It was at Anadyr that Captain Roald Amundsen, discoverer of the South Pole, appeared in 1920 after having been lost in the Arctic seas for more than e year and a half on one of his attempts to reach the North Pole. Mattern started his flight around the world from Floyd Bennett Field on the morning of June 3 and made his first landing 24 hours later off the coast of Norway. From there he flew to Oslo, thence to Moscow and on June 5 took off on the long flight over Siberia. The next day he reach- ed Omsk and after a stop of 12 hours took off again. He was unreported for more than 24 hours but it was finally learned that he was forced down by motor trouble and that the planes tail was damaged in landing. He finally reach- ed Kharabovsk on June 10, one week after he left New York. He started for Nome, Alaska, on dune 12, but was forced to backtrack because of bad weather. He hopped on his second attempt to reach Nome on June 15 and was unreported from that time. Sales Tax Opponents To Meet in Bismarck Fargo, N.
