Drastic Changes _/KIWANIANSBUCKLE Set for Hunters TO PUT STORAGE __ LAM INTO ARFECT}> Cummins Asks U. S. to Deter-|* mine What Percentage of Light Grain Is Milled SONZER WORKS WITH BOARD ‘Agreement With Loaning Agen- cies Sought to Ease Pres- sure on N. D. Farmers Prospect that the federal govern- ment would enter the fight to raise the price of North Dakota's low- weight wheat loomed Tuesday as the state industrial commission went ahead with its plan to grant loans to farmers that they might keep their grain off the market. Meanwhile, Minneapolis grain trad- ers were keeping a close watch of the North Dakota plan to see how its operation would affect them and the Minnesota railroad and warehouse commission went ahead with plans to put a farm-storage law into effect in that state. ’ The Minnesota law is similar to the North Dakota statute which permits farmers to keep their grain under state seal and obtain credit on the storage oertificates issued by the state. Cummins Asks U. 8. Aid It was regarded as only a matter of time until the federal government en- Secretary of Agriculture Wallace to ald in determining what North Da- kota wheat is worth and this plea was supplanted Tuesday by an urgent re- quest by R. B, Cummins, federal re- ma administrator for North Da- ‘ota. Cummins said it was clear that the low price of wheat.is.doing-more than anything else to prevent recovery for the farmers, merchants end working people of North Dakota and, in a tele- gram to the national recovery admin- istration, urged the fullest cooperation in the effort to determine what North Dakota wheat is worth for milling purposes and to help them get that Price for their grain. As recovery administrator, Cummins is charged with the duty of coordinat- ing the activities of all federal agen- cies in North Dakota and is the per- sonal representative of President Roosevelt in this state. His request is expected to have the quick consid- eration of Frank Walker, head of the national emergency council and of President Roosevelt. Wants Milling Facts Among other things, Cummins ask- ed for an examination to show what percentage of North Dakota's light- weight grain is being milled, and what percentage is going into feed, also how much flour is being obtain- ed from it and the percentage of high-protein, low-weight grain need- ed by millers for mixing with heavy, low-protein wheat to bring flour up to standard for baking purposes. This is also a part of the program of the state industrial commission. The latter body expected to con- fer with A. FP. Bonzer. Jr., manager of the state mill and elevator, and work out details of the loan. program. Under the law, the Bank of North Dakota is prohibited from making loans to individuals. The tentative plan is to have the bank loan money to the state mill and elevator which would advance it to farmers with storage certificates as security. Since the government holds seed Yens on much of this state’s wheat, an effort was being made to reach an agreement with the federal farm loaning agencies to make a satisfac- tory adjustment. The government Monday refused to assist in a loan plan on the ground that. it might act to keep grain on the farm and thus build up a future surplus. with details of the loaning arrangement, Governor Welford pon- dered the appointment of a grain storage commissioner who would han- phase of the business, An- New Area Commander Is Visitor at Post Maj.

The band will leave the Patter- son Hotel at 7:30 a. m., carrying @ banner inscribed “welcome to the Al G. Barnes circus” and par- ade to the Ninth street crossing of the N, P. railroad where the circus will unload. McDougall, who likes those pipes, expressed the view that it probably will be the first time the circus has ever received such a greeting in the United States. At the same time he invited all Bismarck residents to see the cir- cus unload and see the band. The first section, carrying the tents and cooking equipment is sched- uled to arrive at 6 a.m. Mc- Dougall gave assurances that one of the early- TOLEDO FIRM FILES SUIT FOR $1,512,204 AGAINST ND. BANK = Bond Deal of 13 Years Ago, Considered Outlawed, Is Basis for Action Toledo, Ohio, Aug. 27.—()—The Spitzer-Rorick Trust and Savings Bank of Toledo Tuesday filed suit in common pleas court for $1,512,264.70 damages against the Bank of North Dakota at Bismarck, N. D. The peti- tion charged the Toledo bank was damaged that amount by failure of the North Dakota bank to fill a con- tract to deliver $6,239,500 in bonds. The original claim against the North Dakota bank was held by Spit- zer-Rorick and Co., but was sold to the Toledo bank last year. In 1922, the petition states, the Spitzer-Rorick company had acquired $6,450,000 in bonds and held options on an undelivered $6,421,500. Refused to Deliver The North Dakota institution re- fused to deliver these and offered them to clients of a Toledo bond firm, it is charged. P. H. Butler, attorney for the Sank of North Dakota, said Tuesday that the suit was filed on a deal which occurred 13 years ago and which the Bank of North Dakota regards as an outlawed claim. He said the only reason he can think of why the suit was filed now is an effort to “bluff” the Bank of North Dakota from fil- ing a suit which now is in prepara- tion against the Ohio bank. ‘The Ohio bank’s claim grows out of @ bond deal made in 1921 between the industrial commission composed of Lynn J. Frazier, William Lemke and John Hagen. A law suit was filed to halt completion of the deal and the supreme court ruled it invaud be- (Continued on Page Four) Seek Transient for Moorhead $5 Killing Moorhead, Minn., Aug. 27.—(?)— Charged with first degree murder, Robert A.

LAND VALUATIONS GUT OPPOSED AND UPHELD AT HEARING County, Village and City Rep- resentatives Appear Be- fore Equalizers Both support and opposition for reduction of farm land valuations in the state by more than $19,000,000 Tuesday met the state board of equalization, as its members heard representatives of counties, villages and cities. Opinion on the proposed reduction, recommended by the state tax com- missioner, appeared to be equally di- vided, with some county commission- ers favoring, others opposing the plan. Speakers admitted taxes must be levied with “ability to pay” an upper- most factor, but some asserted higher valuations were needed in their coun- ties to produce sufficient funds with which to operate and to increase their counties’ credit rating. An increase in valuations of resi- dential property in the state totaling $951,000 was revealed at the hearing. Valuations set by the county boards in 1934 totaled $62,967,144, as com- pared with the county boards’ recom- mendations for 1935 of $63,918,776. Business property valuations, both in cities and counties drop in county board recommendations. The total decrease in proposed valuation by the county boards is $84,138. Total valua- tions set by the county boards on this type of property for 1935 is $41,602,090, while in 1934, the state board of equalization valuation was $41,686,- 228. Lots and leased properties in cities and villages increase in valuation for 1935 by $820,947, under the figures set by the county boards, whieh show a valuation of $36,272,653 for 1935, as compared with the state board figures in 1934 of $35,451,706.
