— a BOER re may eee ae RURAL SETTLEMENT DIVISION OF WORKS DRIVE ESTABLISHED WNo Order Issued Yet for Setting Up Walker’s Agency for Applications Washington, May 1.—(?)—Estab- (lishment by executive order of the ural re-settlement division to aid in administering the $4,000,000,000 ‘Wworks-relief program was announced ‘Wednesday by President Roosevelt. This division, charged with moving people from unpfofitable communi- ties to places where they can live ‘under better conditions, is headed by ;Rexford G. Tugwell, undersecretary ‘of agriculture. i. Mr. Roosevelt also said at his press ©onference he had asked Morris Llewellyn Cooke of Philadelphia to ;8et up the rural electrification divi- sion. Cooke is a member of the natural \resources board and an authority on ‘power. He had planned to go to Europe, but agreed to establish the division before making the trip. the works program, Mr. Roosevelt explained he expected to abide by a rule of spending the money by July 1, 1936, Situation Is ‘Confusing’ A survey disclosed the White House had not yet issued an order actually ‘creating the first of the new govern- ment agencies—the division of appli- cations and information headed by Frank C. Walker. State and local relief officials, com- {ng here to find out how they can get @ slice of the huge fund, described the situation as “confusing.” No of- ficial explanation for the delay has ‘been given. ‘Thus far the only money allotted from the $4,000,000,000 is $190,000,000 to the CCC for expanding its mem- bership to 600,000 and $150,000,000 to ;the emergency relief administration for direct relief purposes. Secretary Ickes has asked state PWA engineers to begin receiving ap- ‘plications for non-federal projects, but even his allotment board has not been officially set up. He said frank- ly Tuesday that he did not know exactly how the applications would be handled. Blanks Not Yet Printed Regulations have yet to be drafted for governing the division of applica- tions and information. Blanks on fail to stand such tests as this.

D., April 29, 1935. Editor, Tribune: A few days ago, the Tribune print+ ed an editorial on the fact that cer- tain officers of the Sears, Roebuck Co. received more than $80,000 an- nual salary. While this sum is huge, these men, at least work for their salaries, but we have a number of American “princesses and princes” 3 z 2a "Gs ai $38 E ii i? ii & Bee t lees BS Befgs re Es i __THE BISMARCK NORMA PETERSON scouts winning badges during the year also will receive awards at thet time.

Don’t know what about a recall. I should say, “no”; but if there is a recall election why stop with just one? Have two or three. That would give some of the other fellows a chance to be governor for a while. Grass Lake school district is going to raise its teacher's wages next year. Better note this as a business indi- cation. Mr. Babson should have this news immediately. Now if there was just some water in the lake and gtass and some ducks and mudhens we could feel that things were nearer normal again. The government makes you sign two notes for the same money if you want a seed and feed loan. One for the seed and one for the full amount of seed and feed. If you have @ barnyard loan and sell something, they require you to send in all the proceeds and make application to have a part returned if you need it Uncle Sam has been pretty good but ®& person doesn’t like these things. Do you know things could take two or three swift turns and the govern- ment take over the farms. That hap- pened in Joseph's time. The honest people will pay any way, but being ever so careful some are likely to cheat Uncle Sam out of his boots. What ever the govern- ment does, Mr. Mulligan, there's al- ways somebody tries to beat him, don’t it? There are getting to be so many government employes that their sal- aries take a lot of money. ‘The Tribune is afraid of poetry, but I wonder if it would quote a lit- tle Shakespeare.

It looks something like Shakespeare anyhow: Full many are the loves than wax and wane And live but in the past, nor . breathe again But he who stems the tide may live to hear That other equal love doth hold him dear. There now, that ought to be en- couragement for somebody. There are four men in the world today who do things: Mahatma Gandhi, Musselini, Hitler, and Roose- velt. Gandhi does it by disciplining himself; Mussolini by disciplining the nation; Hitler by disciplining every- body he dares to and Roosevelt the money powers. And time rolls on. HUGH REDINGTON. ‘White Collar’ Work Program Is Drafted ‘Washington, May 1—(?)—A three- point program was drafted Wedn day in what work-relief officials clared would be an attempt to pr vide “suitable” employment for a large percentage of 750,000 “white collar” people now on federal relief. The officials said that this pro- gram, revolving around research, ed: ucation and recreation activities, would be one of the most important features of the $4,000,000,000 works drive.

D. Problems Fargo, N. D., May 1—The Grass- land committee of the National Re- search Council of Washington, D. C., will meet at Dickinson, N. Dak., June 1, 2 and 3, according to Dr. Herbert C. Hanson, head of the department of botany at the North Dakota Agri- cultural college. Members of the committee are meeting at that time for the purpose of discussing and making plans for putting grasslands research on a satisfactory basis. At present, points out Dr. Hanson, there are numerous unsolved problems that require much investigation, especially the utilization of native plants and habits and life histories of grassland plants and animals. Present plans call for about a day and a half investigating grassland projects around Medora, the Killdeer Mountains, and the land purchasing program in McKeniie county. Members of the Grassland com- mittee who plan to be present are Dr. V. E. Shelford, chairman of the Grassland committee and Zoologist from the University of Illinois; Dr. W. P. Taylor of the U. 8. Biological Survey and President of the Ecologi- cal Society of America and also ant- mal ecologist; Dr. B. C. Tharpe, prom- inent plant ecologist at the Univer- sity of Texas; Dr. A. O. Weese, ani- mal ecologist and head of the de- partment of zoology at the University of Oklahoma; Dr. B. Shimek, botanist at the University of Iowa; Dr. J. E. Weaver, author of numerous books on plant ecology at the University of Nebraska; Dr. K. M. King, specialist on insect ecology, University of Sas- katchewan, and Dr. Herbert C. Han- son of the NDAC. It is also possible that Dr. I. F. Lewis, chairman of the Division of Biological Sciences, Washington, D. C., may attend the meeting. $75,000 Sought for N. D. Mineral Survey Grand Forks, May 1.—()—-A fed- eral relief appropriation of $75,000 for studies of North Dakota mineral re- sources was recommended to the ns- tional resources board in a report sub- mitted by Dr. Irvin Lavine, Grand Forks, federal consultant of the state planning board. Based on the findings of the min- eral resources committee of the plan- ning board, the recommendation calls for field and laboratory studies of the resources and an economic study of their commercial development. Dean L. C. Harrington of the university college of engineering is the chair- man of that committee. The report pointed out that North Dakota has an abundant supply of several valuable minerals, including an estimated 600 billion tons of lig- nite, 160 million tons of bentonite, 25 million tons of sodium sulphate and large quantities of high grade |clay, building stones and gravels.

TRIBUNE. WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1935 LEVEL OF INDUSTRY IS GOOD IN STATE Census Figures for Manufac-| tures Show Relatively High Employment Industries in the smaller towns and | tural areas of North Dakota gener- ally maintained during the depression @ higher level of production and em- ployment than those in the cities, ac- cording to a comparison of census data for 1929 and 1933 made public Wednesday. ° In 1929, according to the report, there were 373 manufacturing estab- lshments in North Dakota. These employed 4,024 persons, paid $5,687,028 in wages and $39,684,462 for materials, fuel and electric energy, and turned out products valued at $56,321,592. In 1931 the record showed 325 firms, 3,306 employes, $4,600,224 in wages, $28,155,069 paid for materials, fuel | and electricity, and products valued | at $40,076,326. | In 1933 the figures were 268 firms,! 3,103 workers, $3,290,441 in wages, $21,700,663 in materials, fuel and en- ergy and $31,540,552 in manufactured products, Although no comparisons are made with other states, the inference is that employment in North Dakota held up relatively better than was the case in many other areas, possibly because factories in this state make necessities rather than incidental items. Cities Are Hardest Hit Of the four cities with populations; above 10,000, Grand Forks suffered the least reduction both in the num- ber of active firms and the ratio of employment. In the four years from 1929 to 1933 the number of factories dropped only from 28 to 26 and the number of workers from 563 to 474. Fargo was second with a decrease from 53 to 41 firms and 639 to 502 workers. The number of Bismarck firms dropped from 20 to 15 and workers from 235 to 165. Minot was hardest hit, che number of firms de- clining from 21 to 15 and employes from 450 to 284. In the smaller towns the decline was much less marked, since most of their manufacturing enterprises have to do with local services or food processing. The average number of employes also held up better. The census bureau made it plain that aggregate figures for the cost of materials and the value of products contain many duplications, due to the use of products of some industries as raw materials by others. Through- out the United States this duplica- tion amounts to about one-third the gross value of products. {D,, which is in charge of H. J.

Of the total sent out, $926.60 went to the four teachers of the Hamlet special school district, Williams coun- ty, said Hopton. Other checks went to teachers at Plaza. Numerous other requests for cash on school warrants have been re- ceived and checks will be mailed as soon as they have been examined to see that they comply with the law, Hopton said. The statute permits the department to invest its money, a sur- Plus of about $2,000,000, in certifi- cates of indebtedness, The warrants are being cashed at par but only on application of the teacher to whom they were issued.
