ESTABLISHED 1873 BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1933 PRICE FIVE CENTS N. D. Wheat Allotment Is Fixed Stone FARGOAN DECLARES EXECUTIVE AGREED 10 ACT IN AUTUMN “But Governor Retorts With, ‘Matter Still Is Under Consideration’ WOULD DECIDE ALL ISSUES Plan Is to Initiate Laws For Repeal of State and Na- tional Dry Statutes ©. P. Stone of Fargo Friday an- nounced—and Governor William Langer denied—that the executive) had promised to call a special elec- tion late in the fall at which all issues pertaining to prohibition would be decided by the electorate. Stone is president of the state as- sociation for ratification of the 2lst amendment and made his announce- ment of the governor’s promise after & conference with the executive ‘Thursday. ‘When the matter was called to) Langer’s attention Friday he denied that he had promised to call the elec- tion and said the matter still is “un- der consideration.” “I don’t know whether there will be @ special election or not. I have the matter under consideration,” was his comment. ‘As outlined by Stone, the plan con- templates votes on each of the follow- ing items: Four Items Listed 1, A vote on the initiated beer bill, already filed with the secre- tary of state with more than 36,000 signatures. 2. A vote on the beer bill pass- ed by the last legislature and re- ferred by both the wets and drys. 3. A vote on repeal of the 18th amendment, to be presented by petitions to be circulated by Stone’s organization. 4. Vote on repeal of most of the state’s prohibition laws. Stone said the governor's promise was made at a conference Thursday and the date tentatively fixed for November 15 or thereabouts. On this basis, if the wets are suc- cessful, beer would become legal in this state before Christmas, other liquors after a constitutional con- vention could b2 held. i Stone said petitions asking votes on the ratification of the 2ist amend- ment and repeal of the state prohibi- tion laws would be placed in circu- lation at once and would be filed by August 15. Will Order Election After they have been on file with the secretary of state 45 days, Stone said, the governor will order a special election to be held 45 days from the proclamation. Under the law, he said, petitions must be on file with the secretary of state 90 days before a vote legally can be had. Headquarters at Fargo Stone said his association will set up headquarters in Fargo and the petitions will be circulated from there. He said advocates of repeal plah no special campaign in connection with the vote because it is confident none "ts necessary. He gave it as his opinion that sentiment for repeal is so over- whelming as to make the outcome in this state a certainty. Other officers of the repeal associa- tion are Herman Rabe, Dickinson, “vice president; Fred Peterson, Bis- marck, secretary and J. P. Spies, Bis- marck, treasurer. This association is separate from the organization which initiated the proposal for legalized beer ard which has been pounding at the governor to call a special election on that issue. The exact method for presenting the repeal amendment ratification has not been determined, although it is expected that the initiated meas- ure will set up machinery for a con- stitutional convention on the ques- tion. After this is done a separate vote on the members of the constitutional convention will be necessary. AS passed by congress, the bill sub- mitting the 2lst amendment r: ,uires that it be ratified or rejected by a constitutional convention.

Simonson Elected Presi- sant and-M. L. McBride Secretary-Treasurer The State Protective League oppos- ing the sales tax measure passed by the 1933 legislative assembly perfected @ permanant organization at a meet- ing here Thursday afternoon which was attended by business and profes- sional men from several points in the state. 3 The following were elected officers of the league: President—Nils P. Simonson, Finley. Secretary-treasurer—M. L. McBride, Dickinson. Directors—George Hoenck, Fargo; Charles Robertson, Bismarck; T. H. Thoreson, Grand Forks. The officers will act as the execu- tive board of the organization and plan to set up county organizations to assist in défeating the referred law at the primary election in 1934. Mr. Thoreson was not present at the meeting and could not be reached by telephone but several of those present believed he would act on the board of directors. A resolution passed at the meeting stated “It is the purpose of this or- ganization to do everything to its Power to defeat the sales tax as em- bodied in Senate Bill No. 315 passe¢ by the last session of the North Da- kota State Legislature, for the reason that it is in no sense a replacement tax and that it will impose an un- necessary and additional tax burden upon the farmers and other taxpayers of the state and because the consumer will utimately pay the entire tax.” Simonson who has acted as cam- paign manager of the league, circulat- ea the petitions referring the act which were filed with the secretary of state on May 30. He was compelled ‘o register them in the Bismarck post- office when he was stopped by the militia when Governor Langer de- clared martial law and prevented anyone from entering or leaving the| secretary's Office during office hours on the afternoon of that day. Capture Vesperaao Who Fought Officers Des Moines, July 28.—()—The bar- Tow case had moved out of Iowa Fri- day as federal agents announced the capture in Seminole, Okla., of Herbert Blythe, 22, who has been identified as the third man with Marvin and Clyde Barrow during a gun battle at Dexter, Monday. Meanwhile, Colorado and Wyoming Police were on the lookout for the missing gang members after being notified they had been seen in those states. During the battle with more than 20 officers at Dexter, Marvin was ser- iously wounded and now lies near death at a Perry, Ia., hospital. His wife, Blanche was taken pri- soner and is now being held at Platte City, Mo., for assault with intent to Police at Seminole said Blythe, also known as Bleigh, was wanted in con-/| nection with the slaying of two Jop-| lin, Mo., officers last spring.

Three weeks ago Friday the young national guard lieutenant, John J. O'Connell, Jr., of Albany, N. Y., was abducted. He is still unaccounted for. The other man still unreturned is Charles F, Urschel, wealthy Oklahoma City oil man. His wife was reported near collapse, all efforts at negotia- tion for his release having been un- successful. On the heels of the imposition of the death sentence upon Walter Mc- |Gee for the kidnaping of Mary Mc- Elroy in Kansas City, the prosecution announced it would seek the same ex- treme penalty for McGee's brother, George, and for Clarence Click, held in the same kidnaping.case. At Milwaukee Roger Touhy and three members of his gang were con- fronted Friday with additional charges in connection with the $100,000 kid- naping of William Hamm, Jr., million- aire St. Paul brewer. Warrants charging Touhy, Eddie McFadden, Gus Schafer and Will Sharkey with conspiracy to kidnap by transporting Hamm from St. Paul to Orfordville, Wis. a small town south of Madison, were issued at Janesville, Wis., late Thursday. Federal officers procured the war- rants upon hearing reports that $50,- 000 was being sent from Chicago to be used as bail for Touhy. All four are held in jail here in default of $50,000 bond each on a charge of kid- naping Hamm. Meanwhile, prosecutors were pre- paring to show probable cause of ac- tion against the four men when they go into federal court August 4 for a hearing on removal to St. Paul. It was decided to present evidence thus far kept secret. Optimism Rules as Delegates Go Home London, July 28.—()—Confidence in the success of future international negotiations was expressed in sev- eral quarters Friday as remaining delegates to the world economic con- ference packed up to go home. President Roosevelt's message to the final meeting Thursday pledging America’s continued efforts for world Tecovery sounded a keynote of opti- mism that was re-echoed in state- ments by conference leaders and in newspaper editorials. The Times said the parley “succeed- ed in doing a good deal of spade work necessary to enable the next confer- ence to accomplish something more definite” and the Herald asserted the “failure of the world economic con- ference is the strongest proof of the need for more conferences.” A small executive committee will determine when the assembly is to be re-convened. This body it is believed, will meet in September.

Outhitting their opponents and tak-| ing advantage of 13 errors by the westerners, Enderlin advanced to the semi-finals in the first game Friday morning trouncing Dickinson 11 to 1. In the second game, which began at noon, Fargo defeated Jamestown 15 to 8 in a slugfest. Hits and errors were bountiful in this game. | Fargo suffered a considerable set- back during the night when five of its players became ill, apparently from food poisoning, according to |Manager Homer Major. Among the sick victims was Kenny Stafne, star Pitcher of the Fargoans, who was unable to start against Jamestown. Enderlin Pitchers Stingy Raymond Henkle and Allen Sly, Enderlin pitchers, restricted Dickin- son to three hits in the first game while their mates collected eight from the offerings of Adam Hatringer,| hurler for the westerners.

SEEKS FIRST-HAND DOPE The aviation company represented | The and were about at the level of the fall of 1931. Country check clearings in the first 15 business days of July were 36 per cent larger than in the corresponding days of last year. If this volume continues for the re- mainder of the month, the country check clearings index for July will be higher than any other since the fall of 1930. A gain of 3.1 per cent in employ- ment for June over May was shown. The increase in payrolls was 1.5 per cent over May. The increase from May to June was most pronounced in manufacturing in which employment increased 4.0 per cent and payrolls 6.8 per cent. A few increases in wage rates were reported during June and cuts in pay practically ceased. Farm Income Rises ‘The cash income of farmers in the district increased again very sharply in June and exceeded last year’s level by a greater margin than in any other month this year. The increase over the corresponding month last year was 80 per cent, as compared with a 54 per cent increase in May and an 8 per cent increase in April. During the first three months of the year farm income was smaller than in the corresponding months a year ago. Dairy products were added during June to the list of sources of farm in- come which exceeded the volume in the preceeding year. The income from all of the other items which are es- timated was larger in June than a year ago, the greatest increase occur- ring in wheat, owing to higher prices and a heavy volume of marketing. Wheat stocks on farms in the four states lying wholly within the Ninth Federal Reserve district were nearly four times as large on July 1 as a |year ago and more than twice as large as two years ago. The govern- ment estimates indicate that wheat stocks on farms in those states were 31,920,000 bushels. This large increase in farm stocks arose from the fact that last year’s crop was marketed very slowly last fall. The 1933 pig crop was 6 per cent larger than that of 1932 according to the June 1 survey of the U. 8. Depart- ment of Agriculture. In the four states there was an increase of less than 2 per cent in the number of sows farrowed when compared with the spring of 1932. In North Dgkota there was a decrease of 10 per cent in the number of sows farrowed, which resulted in a 10 per cent de- crease in the crop when compared with last year, despite a slight in- crease in the number of pigs saved per litter.

BRANDENBURG CONTINUES FIGHT State Veterinarian Tells of Pro- gram Being Carried on in N. D. Busy carrying on the work of pre- venting, suppressing, controlling and eradicating dangerous and infectious disease of livestock in North Dakota, State Veterinarian T. O. Brandenburg, executive officer of the live stock san- itary board, is directing the endless testing and retesting of cattle for tu- berculosis. Brandenbu: was appointed by Governor William Langer to succeed the late Dr. W. F. Crewe, who for 25 years worked to protect the health of the domestic animals of this state. The work of eradicating bovine tu- berculosis, however, is the only activ- ity of the livestock board, Branden- burg pointed out in summarizing the department's accomplishments during the period since its establishment in 1907. He summarized the work done in the control of animal diseases as follows: “Dourine of horses and cattle scab eradicated. “Glanders and mange of horses Practically unknown and no long- er @ scourge of horses. “Anthrax is being controlled. aoe scab has been controll- ed. “The method of hog cholera control is the envy of those states where the unrestricted use of virus is permitted. “Outbreaks of infectious dis- eases have been promptly investi- gated.” Probably one of the main causes for the creation of the state livestock Sanitary board was the existence and the disastrous experience we had prior Dr. Brandenburg, who said “previous to that there was no state organiza- tion through which the federal gov- ernment could work and due to this. fact the state was losing control of Scabies in cattle and they placed an embargo on our cattle.” Dr. L. Van Es of the state college, state veterinarian at that time, was virtually unable to leave the college nine months of the year, Branden- burg said. Dr. Van Es saw the neces- sity of an agency whose aim and only object should be control of disease in livestock, one divorced from political control as far as possible and not dominated by veterinarians. ‘Thus the livestock sanitary board was created, composed of three live- stock men and two licensed practic- ing veterinarians. The pay was put on a “very nomin- al” per diem basis and “to the wisdom of the fathers of this law, the record of the past quarter of a century stands as a monument, not suplicated by any other state in the union,” Brandenburg said. “That this agency has not been a Political football is borne out by the fact that the average term of service as to Dec. 1, 1932, for each board member was over 14 years,” he added. “W. L, Richards, president, is one Served continuously since its creation while the late Dr. Crewe, appointed in 1907, served continuously until his death last year. “The work of eradicating bovine tu- berculosis has been done in an econo- mical and efficient manner—North Dakota becoming the eighth state to be added to the modified accredited area list.” Average Prices for Farm Products Rise Washington, July 28.—()—Prices have dropped some since, but in the month from June 15 to July 15 the farmer got 76 per cent as much for his products as he did on the average from 1909 to 1914. The bureau of agricultural econo- mics, in making this finding, said the month had shown substantial in- creases for grains, cotton, fruits, vege- tables, dairy products and chickens and eggs. The only group recording a drop was meat. On June 15 the prices stood at 64 per cent. READY FOR SPEED TRAIN Omaha, July 28.—(#)—Union Pa- cific headquarters here Friday an- nounced that the new speed train, capable of 110 miles an hour, is to be delivered to the railroad not later then Dec. 1 and that trial runs are planned for immediately efter the train is delivered, ——_ | Eggs Greet Hutton FARMERS IN STATE | WILL GET BONUS ON 00,217,821 BUSHELS 28-Cent Reward Will Net State $15,460,989 and Bur- | leigh $230,987 42 STATES ARE AFFECTED North Dakota's Basic Produce ON STOCK DISEASE}: to 1907 with cattle scab, according to of the original appointees and has} tion Figure Set At 102,- 255,000 Bushels North Dakota wheat farmers will collect allotments from the federal government on 55,217,821 bushels un- der the new farm aid plan, according to figures released Friday by Secre- tary of Agriculture Wallace. This is 54 per cent of North Dako~ ta’s basic production figure—102,255,- 000 bushels—established by the de- partment of agriculture as the avers age in North Dakota for the years of 1928 and 1932, inclusive, according to Dr. C. F. Monroe, extension director of the North Dakota Agricultural col- et ge. Allotment figures for counties in this state also were announced by Wallace. McLean county is allotted 1,939,802 bushels, the largest in the state. Sioux is allotted only 290,446 bushels, the lowest for the state. Burleigh county is allotted 824,954 bushels, Under the plan, 20 cents per bushel will be paid to farmers this fall and eight more cents per bushel next spring. Will Net $15,460,989 This will net North Dakota $11,- 043,564.20 this fall and $4,417,425.68 next spring—or a total of $15,460,- 989.88. It will net Burleigh county farm- ers $164,990.80 this fall and $65,996.32 next spring, for a total of $230,987.12. In paying farmers their allotment, the amount will be based on produce tion of the last five years, but in fige uring the amount of acreage which the state may plant, the reduction will be based on the average planted acreage for the last five years. North Dakota's ‘planted acreagd averaged 10,513,600 for the last five years. If Wallace figures the reduce tion percentage at the 20 per cenf. maximum that will be required, North Dakota therefore would be re-' quired to cut its acreage by 20 pev' cent of 10,513,600, or 2,102,272 acres, and the state still could plant 8,410,«! 880 acres under the allotment plan. Could Produce 80,000,000 On an average of approximately 10 bushels per acre, the state could proe duce more than 80,000,000 bushels un- der the allotment plan, even if all the farmers of the state signed the adjustment agreement. Incidentally, on July 1 this year the federal government estimated the wheat acreage left for harvest in 1933 in North Dakota at 8,505,000 acres. Allotments by counties are: Burke, 688,566; Divide, 1,027,604; Mountrail, 1,093,313; Renville, 881,276; Ward, 1,- 751,509; Williams, 1,462,720; Dunn, 945,329; McKenzie, 1,097,178; McLean, 1,939,802; Mercer, 758,693; Oliver, 429,- 595; Adams, 746,767; Billings, 314,189; Bowman, 480,395; Golden Valley, 671,- 449; Hettinger, 1,230,253; Slope, 520,- 704; Stark, 1,430,694; Benson, 1,702,- 918; Bottineau, 1,638,313; McHenry, 1,394,250; Pierce, 1,294,306; Rolette, 132,741; Eddy, 473,769; Foster, 495,856; Kidder, 627,274; Sheridan, 1,052,452; Stutsman, 1,850,901; Wells, 1,522,355; Burleigh 824,954; Emmons, 1,208,501; Grant, 1,079,508; Morton, 1,522,355; (Continued on Page Two) Work on Details of Back-to-Land Move Washington, July 28—(4)—Support- ers of the “back to the land” move- ment to be financied from the public works fund believe it will go far to solve the nation’s relief problem and at the same time aid in restoring prosperity. Although only $25,000,000 has been set aside for the experiment, some members of congress are ready to ask for many times that if the plan works. ‘The plan contemplates taking fami- lies of unemployed from the cities where they are on relief roles, to the country and setting them up on land where they can at least grow their own food and to that extent be inde- pendent, Details have not been worked out. Secretary Ickes, chosen by the president to adminster the fund, has called upon the plan’s friends to work out details and get the idea on the track to realization. The law is broad, providing merely that the money shall be used to make loans for the puropse of establishing subsistence homesteads or for aiding them in other. ways. British Grab Lead in Finals.
