BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1935 kk *& Calls for United Effort. (An Editorial) If ever there was a movement which should command the whole-souled support and cooperation of EVERY North Dakota citizen it is that designed to raise the price which our farmers are getting for their light-weight wheat. The Tribune, in common with other North Dakota newspapers, has been subjected to a barrage of propaganda by the grain trade which seeks to transfer the basis of the processing tax from wheat to flour and which makes this the main explanation of the ridiculously low price which is being offered for North Dakota grain. The process tax can be dismissed from the equation be- cause of the fact that it is levied on the basis of 60 pounds per bushel. As mentioned in an editorial printed August 8, there are some factors for which the millers should be com- pensated, such as the lower flour content and the increased cost of milling. But allowing liberally for those factors, it seems obvious that the price of grain is far too low. On the Bismarck market last Saturday, 58-pound wheat sold for $1.06 a bushel. Prices for other weights were as follows: 57 pounds $1.04; 56 pounds .97; 55 pounds .93; 54 pounds .90; 58 pounds .86; 52 pounds .82; 51 pounds .78; 50 pounds .74. Bright, dry wheat weighing from 50 to 56 pounds commands a premium of 8 to 9 cents. Below 50 pounds, wheat is being labeled “sample grade” and the millers contend it is unfit for milling. It is being purchased ostensibly for use as feed, but advices received at Governor Walter Welford’s office indicate that it is be- ing used for flour. The fact that one Slope elevator man dumped the light wheat in with the heavy, as reported Saturday, further exposes the African in the woodpile. This light wheat is being milled, according to present indications. It is being purchased as “sample grade unfit for flour” but it is being MADE INTO FLOUR just the same. Tests indicate that our shriveled and shrunken grain has an unusually high protein content. It is being mixed with heavy, low protein wheat in the manufacture of flour. “Below 50 pounds, the discount locally is four cents per pound down to 45 cents a bushel. On this basis the prices would be as follows: 49 pounds .70; 48 pounds .66; 47 pounds’ .62; 46 pounds .58; 45 pounds .54; 44 pounds .50; 43 pounds .46; 42 pounds .42; 41 pounds .38; 40 pounds .34, and 89 pounds .30. Instead of maintaining this scale, however, a sharp break in the price occurs at 44 pounds, 42 to 48 pound wheat selling locally at 39 cents. On the other hand, the man who raised 39-pound wheat gets a break. He can sell it for 86 cents instead of 30 as would be the case were the scale followed. On this basis it might not be too far-fetched to assume that the millers intend to mill wheat down to 44 pounds, else why the sharp break in price below that figure? The point is that our farmers are entitled to what their wheat is worth. As mentioned by Governor Welford, they are not getting that price now. What we need is a scien- tific determination of its worth as shown by milling tests. Every agency of the government, state and national, should be called into action to see that we get it. The issue is one of vital importance to évery citizen, farmer or town dweller. In North Dakota wealth comes from the soil. Merchant, banker and professional man alike depend upon the farmer for a living. Their interests are at stake, too. : This newspaper has no desire to be unfair to the milling trade. It is willing to print the millers’ side of the question. It has so informed a representative of the grain trade who already has filed a protest against the editorial published on August 8. But it insists that the farmer—and along with the farmer the rest of us—are entitled to a better deal than we are getting. It will support to the limit the effort to get it. This newspaper feels that farmers and their creditors should heed the suggestion of Governor Welford to keep grain on the farm until a better determination of the facts can be had. It will back to the limit any feasible effort to raise the price of grain. If our light-weight, wheat is to be made into flour we should get a flour price—not a feed price.

Seized by Skullduggery IN LOUISIANA MAY BE PROBED BY HOUSE Huey Called Dead Politically But Asserts Filibuster Didn't Hurt Him Washington, Aug. 28.—(7)—The fu- ture of Senator Long (Dem., La.) be- came a subject of renewed specula- tion Wednesday as the capital heard @ report that the house may investi- gate his Louisiana “dictatorship” and 8 prediction that Long is dead politi- cally. The prediction came from Rep. Woodrum (Dem., Va.), who declared that in the filibuster with which Long wound up the session of congress Monday night, the senator was trap- ped and led to the “executioner’s block by his colleagues in the sen- ate.” Long’s filibuster defeated a $102,- 000,000 appropriations measure. Wood- rum argued that Long made many enemies because the bill contained funds to start such programs as social security, coal regulation and railroad pensions, Long, who said he was fighting for amendments calling for 12 cent gov- ernment loans on cotton and 90 cent loans on wheat, said in New York: “That filibuster won't hurt me, it will help. I dare Roosevelt to go on the air and defend his action in re- fusing to let congress vote on wheat and cotton.” As for the house investigation, Long said, scoffing: “I don’t care. Let them investi- gate. We'll be glad of it.” The capital awaited with interest the appointment by Speaker Byrns of & committee which, informed legis- lators said, may delve into Long's regime. The, inquiry would be held, they believed, under a resolution passed just before adjournment. FDR SQUGLES HS NAME O NEW LAWS Neutrality, Guffey Coal Bill to Get Approval; Gold Suits Banned Washington, Aug. 28.—(?)—Presi- dent Roosevelt added a wide variety of New Deal legislation to the statute books Wednesday, including federal assent for interstate compacts to con- serve oil and gas. The gold suit ban was signed Tués- day, he revealed, and within a few hours the neutrality and Guffey coal measures were to follow. Among other last minute congress enactments approved were: Survey for a highway connecting the northwestern part of the contin- ental United States with Alaska. Trade investigation of income and economic conditions of farmers. Relief of certain claimants who suf- fered loss by fire in Minnesota in October, 1918. Necessity for considering the strain- ed relations with Russia ‘and how to finance @ start for the social security Program combined with other tasks to preclude the planned week-end rest at Hyde park. He worked until 1 a. m. Wednesday. DIONNE BABIES WELL Callander, Ont., Aug. 28.—(#)—The Dionne quintuplets entered their 16th month of life Wednesday. Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe reported that his tiny charges, born May 28, 1934, never were in better health. Massapequa, N. ¥., Aug. 28.—(P)}— Victims of vicious - skullduggery, three drunken monkeys were cap- tured Wednesday and returned to Frank Buck’s monkey camp. They had terrific hang-overs, The monkeys fell for a last and desperate trick on the part of Buck's employes who have employed various methods to capture them since 175 of them escaped more than a week y They imbibed too freely of w! y Placed last night in saucers and scat- tered over the woods in which the fugitives were hiding. The inebriated trio was taken into custody without much trouble. One of the creatures was in a drunken stupor. He persisted in pil- lowing his throbbing head on his arm and snoring. The other two were extremely bel- ligerent. The alcohol had given them grandiose delusions. ‘The soused simians were placed’in separate cages and provided with ice and cold water. The monkey-hunters scoured the woods, hoping to find the remaining 12 monkeys still at large. NEUTRALITY DREAM MAY BE NIGHTMARE, SENATOR NYE AVERS Thinks Borah Is Only GOP Hope and Believes Long Will Cause FDR Defeat Minneapolis, Aug. 28.—(7)—U. 8. Senator Gerald P. Nye of North Da- kota was convinced Wednesday Amer- ica must beware that its neutrality “dream” concerning the impending Italo-Ethiopian trouble does not turn into the “nightmare” of another foreign war. “Less than 20 years after the world war,” the senator said in an address Tuesday night, “Democracy is having harder sledding than ever before to make the world safe for democracy.” The nation’s resolve to stay out of another foreign war is no stronger now than it was in 1914, Senater Nye said. “Because of bankers and munitions makers”our’ déclatéa neutrality of 20 years ago was only a dream. We were foolish enough to believe we could have the blood money a Euro- pean war was giving us and have yneutrality, too. “Today we know we could not then, and cannot now, have our cake and eat it too.” Concerning national politics, Sen- ator Nye commented briefly on his \beltet Senator Borah seemed the “Republican party’s best bet against Roosevelt” in the 1936 campaign. He said Huey Long “will make a goed run and pile up enough votes to about President Roosevelt's defeat.” Langer Case Has Cost U.S. Less Than $20,000 Fargo, N. D., Aug. 28.—()—The U. 8. government has spent less than says have been made to the effect that the case has cost $125,000. “When the government spends $125,000, if it, ever does, it will have tried the Langer case 10 times and then some,” said Lanier. “The case cost includes investigation, grand juries, trial and appeal. The money spent has been a big dividend paying investment because it has the millions of relief funds that have come into the state from further wholesale attacks.” T. B.

Believed to be Hugh Palmer, the man is: wanted in Minnesota to face trial on a charge of being accessory in the slaying several months ago of Charles Hancock, 35-year old Hewitt school superintendent. 8. H. Adams, Long Prairie, Minn., Todd county sheriff, said he would seek Palmer's return to that state. Herman Jansen of Texas pleaded bring | guilty to the Hancock slaying and was given a life term in Stillwater peni- tentiary.

Palmer's wife, Ruth, 25, appre- hended here with her husband, was booked on a charge of harboring a federal fugitive. The pair were ar- rested at a Dawson avenue address where Palmer had been living for the past two months under the name of R. A. Ellis, officers said. He had been employed here by an oil come Pany. Sheriff Adams also said Palmer is wanted for burglary of cigarettes from warehouses at Alexandria and Perham, Minn. Outlines Collection Policy on Seed Loans Although its policy is one of col- lecting what is due it, the federal feed and seed loan administration is not going to take away any farmer's feed, seed or grain needed to keep his fam- ily alive this winter, John C. Eaton, St. Paul, manager of the feed and seed loan office in the northwest, said in Bismarck Wednesday. Eaton, here for a conference with 30 inspectors and field men working in southwestern North Dakote, made it particularly clear that the federal agency is not going to relinquish its claim on this year's crop in order that farmers may pay landlords or other creditors. Very little trouble has been experienced in dealing with farmers themselves, he said, the main diffi- culties having arisen in connection with the claims of the farmers’ other creditors.

The election of officers and selection of the convention city was the last thing on the program before adjourn- ment, scheduled for late in the af- ternoon. Delegates and others attending the convention and a number of Bismarck friends of the organization made merry Tuesday night at a banquet in the World War Memorial building and later at a dance in the silver ballroom of the Patterson hotel with Governor Schaub as the guest of honor.

His opinion read: “I have come to the conclusion the board of ad- ministration as such, has not the power or authority under existing law, to consolidate the university and the agricultural college under one head, but that the legislature has power and authority to enact statutes providing for such consolidation.” He supported his opinion by quoting sections of the enabling act by con- gress, in which land grants were made to the state.

State Mill to Act as Finance Agent for Bank of North Dakota GOLL NAMED COMMISSIONER Farmers Also Will Be Given Flour in Exchange for Their Wheat A 90-day plan of extension of credit to farmers of the state on stored light-weight grain. on a sliding scale basis, together with a program of wheat exchange for flour, was an- nounced Wednesday by the state in- dustrial commission. Gov. Walter Welford announced appointment of J. C. Goll of Ashley, superintendent of the state mill and elevator terminal at Grand Forks, as state grain storage commissioner. Under the credit-extension plan adopted by the commission, 75 per cent of the market value of wheat based on Minneapolis quotations will be given in credit on wheat ranging from 49 pounds per bushel to 40 pounds; and 60 per cent of the mar- ket value on wheat 39 pounds and under, 50 Pounds Is Limit counsel for the Bank of North Da- kota. From $1,500,000 to $3,000,000 will be involved in the extension of credit to the farmers, Bonzer estimated. He declared approximately $1,000,000 and $1,500,000 could be obtained from the Bank of North Dakota as loans to the state mill and elevator with storage certificates as security. Local banks and similar agencies may care for an additional amount, he said, Grain on which credit will be ex- tended will be stored under seal, either on the farm, in local elevators or at the Grand Forks terminal. The limit of 90 days was agreed upon by commission members who declared “it appeared that that pe- riod would be of sufficient length of time in which to finally determine the value of the light grain thus stored; particularly for milling pur- Poses.” Eliminates AAA Tax “The industrial commission has been assured through the manage- ment of the state mill that an ex- change basis can be worked out for 40 to 45-pound wheat, based on the quality of the wheat, and that one unit of the mill will be available for the production of flour from light- weight wheat for exchange purposes, thereby saving the farmers the pro- cessing tax which must be paid on the flour ground for commercial pur- poses. In grinding this light-weight wheat, the processing tax would be approximately $2.50 per barrel,” the members said in a statement. The exchange will assure the farm- ers of “ample flour supplies to carry them over to the next crop without paying the additional processing tax,” Sathre said. penses of milling included in the exchange value, Weight Ranges Widely Wheat is varying from 35 pounds per bushel to 59 pounds in different sections of the state, the commission declared, asserting it to be “highly essential that credit be extended to the farmers” upon grain stored un- der terms of the plan.
