The carriers announced formally that they would accept grain for ship- ment out of the state, contrary to the Proclamation. The national guard was under or- ders from the chief executive to halt all such shipments. The presidents of four railroads serving North Dakota messaged Gov- crnor Langer Thursday reiterating the decision of their attorneys, who said the carriers must abide by fed- eal laws and ship wheat if it is of fered, despite the embargo. The railroads believed the next move was up to Governor Langer. They announced they would accept wheat and transport it as they con- strued the federal law to require, and do so until they are halted. Then, after interference, recourse to courts seemed probable, by the lines or a shipper. ‘Wheat was reported as moving normally Thursday, although the em- bargo order became effective at 12:01 a. m., apparently because the guards- Serve Proclamation On Four Railroads Copies of Governor William Langer'’s wheat embargo proclama- tion were served on agents of the four leading railroads in North Da- kota shortly before midnight Wed-. nesday by members of the sheriffs’ staffs at Bismarck and Fargo.

TO AID PRODUCERS | Initial Impost of 50 Cents Per 100 Lbs. to Reach $2 by February 1 |WILL LAST TWO YEARS |Arrangements Made to Distrle bute Collections of About $348,000,000 Washington, Oct. 19.—()}—Secre- tary Wallace Thursday announced the date for increases in processing taxes on hogs, which will be at the initial rate of 50 cents per hundred The tax will be increased to $1 per hundred on December 1, to $1.50 on January 1, 1934, and will reach its maximum of $2 on February 1. The tax at the $2 rate will continue until the end of the 1934-35 hog mar- keting year, November 4, 1935, unless Wallace finds it necessary to make adjustments in the rate as provided in the farm act. Tax collections on live hogs di that period are platelet ait ml $348,000,000, of which about $40,000,000 will be used to reimburse the federal treasury for sums it advanced to fi- nance the recent emergency hog-mar- keting program. A maximum of $200,000,000 will be available as benefit payments to | farmers who reduce hog production 25 To Aid Relief Work A maximum of $58,000,000 of the receipts of the tax will be used for market operations for relief purposes and administrative expenses. _ ‘Wallace said the rate of the initial tax was established at less than the full difference between the current average farm prices and the fair ex- change value or “parity” price for hogs as a result of testimony present- ed at a public hearing here early in September. He placed the full dif- terence now at $4 per hundred weight, adding testimony at the hearing “in- dicated that imposition of the full tax would cause an accumulation of surplus stocks of hog products and would result in depressing the farm rice of hogs.” The farm act exempts from the processing tax hogs processed by or for a farmer for consumption by his own family, employes or household. This means that a farmer may |butcher hogs for his own consump- Von and cure the carcass portions without any tax being imposed. The tax will be refunded to persons «8 institutions delivering hog products t- organizations for charitable distribution. The tax also will be refunded on exports of hog products while imports will be subject to compensatory import taxes equiva- tent to the processing tax, CHEST DRIVE WILL BE STARTED NOV. 7 Legion, Community Council and Service Clubs Asked to Make Canvass exclusively Bismarck’s annual community chest drive will start at 9 o’clock the morn- ing of Nov. 7, it has been decided by the campaign committee recently named by the board of directors.
