D., Oct. 30.. \—Govern- mental authority to intervene in rail- road affairs will be unnecessary if the industry will demonstrate its cap- .. acity for self-regulation, Carl R. Gray of St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Yailroad, asserted here Tuesday. Speaking at a meeting of the North- west Shippers Advisory Board, Mr. _ Gray explained the workings of the recently-organized Association of Am- «, erican Railroads. ; change in temperature. ror Min Sot bE BREE DEAL iggg It is the plan of the new associa- tion, Mr. Gray said, that the board of directors shall interest itself in all railroad problems—to suggest to its members changes in operating prac- tices and methods which scem to tend toward economy and efficient opera- tion, and to assume jurisdiction over controversies that may arise among railroads in regard to their respective rights and liatilities. ‘The founding of the new association, the railway official explained, is the result of the conclusions of railroad men that there should be a closer consolidation of the various agenci: The meeting of the board, the first since the annual gathering last Jan- uary, was called to order by A. A. D. Rahn, general chairman. Transpor~ tation topics of importance to per- sons in all lines of industries and; business, as well as to shippers and railroad men of the northwest, were discussed. i “The heavy stock movement spon- sored by the federal government,” said | Mr. Rahn, “and the entire allocation | of cars was handled in such a man-! ner that shippers were supplied with their equipment needs at all times within 24 to 48 hours. This cattle movement was the heaviest known in our country and turned out as a suc- cessful performance from a transpor-/ tation point of view.” Mr. Rahn said that another major movement was the handling of about 7,000 cars of grasshopper poison bait. ‘While there was some delay in manu- facturing this poison bait, delaying its movement approximately a month after it was planned, he said, it reached all country points in time to accom- plish its purpose. “There is a planned movement of feed to North and South Dakota for the wintering of livestock that was held over,” Mr. Rahn continued. “Moisture conditions in general still are far from satisfactory and while re- cent rains have served to adequately moisten the surface of the soil im- proving pasturage, a considerable) movement of feed necessarily will be| carried into both North and South| Dakota for winter supply.” Approximately a half-million tons of roughage and the same amount of concentrated feed have been estimated for South Dakota while 800,000 tons of ‘ie Weather Report | ——_—_——_—__—__» —— | FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: Gen- erally fair tonight and Wednesday; little change in General] fair tonight and Wed; warmer northwest portion Partly cl yeaa irtly cloudy east, MILD unsettled west Portion tonight and Wednesday; little inesota: Generally _ fair, slightly warmer in northeast portion; ‘Wednesday partly cloudy, warmer in east and south portions. roughage is the estimate for North Dakota, Mr. Rahn told the railroad executives. Two topics, drouth relief, freight | tariffs and the proposal for a modi- fication of the long and short haul provisions cf the interstate commerce act, occupied the shippers Tuesday. Attended by about 150 representa- tives of the railroads and shipping interests of North and South Dakota, Montana and Minnesota, the question of drouth relief tariff rates came inj !for some sharp comment centering| ]around one point in one tarur. | A special low rate on feed made | voluntarily by the railroads expired on Sept. 24 and a point now in con-! 'troversy is as to whether the special tariff covered shipments made be-) fore midnight of Sept. 24, ‘ | Rates Did Not Apply Ma hippers went on the assump- tion the rates would apply on all ship-! ments which were Celivered to the carriers and were iz the cars on or/ before midnight of Sept. 24. Speak- ers included P. A. Lee, secretary of the North Dakota Farmers Elevator association; Frank B. Townsend, di- rector of traffic for the Minneapolis Traffic association; Ray Bowden, sec- retary of the Northwest Country Ele- vators association; H. J. Atwood, mem- ber of the Dulut: Board of Trade. They maintained they had been in- formed by representatives of the car- ners that if the feed was delivered to the carrier before that time the rates would apply. However, the railway tariff board representing the western lines ruled that the rate appwjed only on ship- ments that were delivered before Sept. 24. : Several speakers, including Town- nd, pointed out that the railroads ‘annot be expected to continue the role of “Santa Claus,” and carry ship- “ ments of feed and livestock at rates below cost of transportation indefi- nitely as their revenues too have been greatly reduced as a result of drouth. representatives of the shippers who maintained the point they were mak- ing was that in this particular in- stance shippers were led to believe the rate would apply on the cars loaded before the end of the time limit, that they had passed this low rate on to the buyers of these shipments and felt they should be reimbursed.

HITS CITIZENS WHO FAIL 10 TAKE PART IN POLITICAL WORK Former Governor Shafer Scores ‘Political Hitch-Hikers’ in Luncheon Address i Scoring business and __ professional | men who take no part in politics for} Business reasons but enjoy cam- paigns from the sidelines, former Gov- | ernor George F. Shafer, in an ad-| dress before the Bismarck Kiwanis | club Tuesday noon, declared demo- cratic government could not exist | without politics and campaigns. The duty of every citizen of taking | an active part in politics to assist in| intelligently shaping affairs of state | and nation is even more abused than | the duty of voting, the former gover- nor charged. Saying that he realized active par- ticipation in politics is odious to many of our substantial and more in- telligent citizens, former Governor Shafer nevertheless charged them with the duty of assisting in putting over the political platforms and can- didates of their choice to prevent less intelligent citizens and in some cases “the criminal element” from domin- ating our government. Being Carried Along He described these sideline citizens as “political hitch-hikers riding on somebody else's automobile, gasoline, time, money and energy.” He related one incident which oc- curred when he was attorney general which demonstrated that politics in St. Paul, Minn, at that time was |__This point was conceded by many |dominated and” influenced by the criminal element and oharged that this same condition, in varying de- grees, exists in states and cities throughout the United States. “Active interest in government by substantial citizens is the price of democracy,” the former governor said in urging all members of the club to not only vote to take an active part in directing the vote along the most in- telligent lines to eliminate corruption and bolster wisdom in government. Shafer was introduced by P. E. Byrne, program chairman. Plays Violin Solos Three violin solos were played by Miss Mary Wood, daughter of How- ard Wood, former lieutenant gover- nor of North Dakota. She was ac- companied by Miss Marguerite Ken- nedy, daughter of State Engineer Rob- ert E. Kennedy, member of the Ki- wanis club. Miss Wood played two Indian num- bers, “Pale Moon” and “Land of the Sky Blue Water,” and “Danny Boy.” In presenting the musicians, Chair- man Byrne read the words of “Danny Boy” and described it as an Irish air the origin of which extends back be- yond record. In calling attention to the neces- sity for active work by the club in Preparation for the district Kiwanis convention here next summer, Presi- dent Walter G. Renden announced that former Governor Shafer has been named general convention chair- man. Supreme Court Justice A. G. Burr will serve as convention pro- gram chairman and Frank H. Waldo has been named district publicity chairman. Clarion E. Larson played accom- Paniments to the club's group singing.

Cooke indicated he favored a sys- tem of small dams throughout the drouth belt which would back up the water of creeks and streams into a se- ries of ponds and small lakes, Lemke's secretary said. The resources board, he said, did not feel that North Da- kota and adjoining states were des- tined for a continuance of the drouth cycle but were Just now in an unusual period.

The attitude of the board, which apparently ts much the same as that of the Mississippi valley committee of PWA which it succeeded, gave rise to speculation that an appropriation might be sought from the next con- gress.

SECURITY DEALERS GET DOWN TO WORK Discussion of New Proce- dure Needed oe TR White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., Oct. 30.—(7)—A rallying cry of “let's stop complaining and get to work” is the theme of the annual convention of the Investment Bankers association now in progress here. This is in keeping with the spirit of conciliation with the reform and recovery measures of the new deal manifested at the convention of the commercial bank:rs in W: last week. The Investment Bankers have received this exhortation from their own leaders. The only federal government officer to attend the con- vention here has been Robert E. Healy, @ member of the securities and ex- change commission, and he has been Present only as an observer. The convention, with only one more day to go, has contrasted sharply with the gathering a year ago, and with many other gatherings of secur- ity dealers and financiers, which have been devoted largely to attacks upon new deal regulatory legislation, to government fiscal, monetary and other problems. Strong opposition to many aspects of the securities act and the securities exchange act has been widely express- ed in private conversations among the delegates, but the deliberations of the corivention thus far have been de- voted not to drawing up demands for change, but chiefly to discussions of procedure under the new conditions. Financiers of the public utility in- dustry were told that the time for protest against competition from fed- eral and municipal governments is past, that it is now up to the private- ly-owned companies to justify them- selves by providing the most efficient > This represented a drastic change of policy on the part of the associa- ton.
