The reader can doctor these figures al: he likes in favor of the milling trust, and the fact will still show. that we farm- ers are getting a healthy trimming at the hands of the fat boys. The figures used in this comparison on flour, shorts and bran, are the local prices, and the price of wheat used is the highest paid here during the sea- son of 1918 and 1919. We all know that 100 bushels of wheat will mill 4,000 pounds of flour, 1,200 pounds of shorts and 800 pounds of bran. -Cost of _100 bushels of wheat to - Total 4,000 pounds of flour, Saco pnce, $6.80 ...iiereinenne .. $2562 Big Changes in N. (Continued from page 5) THE RAILROAD HAS BEEN BUILT AND HAS INCREASED LAND VAL- UES to get the land, and what it would cost, on the basis of increased prices for material, to build the road all over again. Only by such methods have the railroads been able to show a valuation' anywhere near the value : represented by millions of shares of watered stock. North Dakota is going to end this ° system. It is going to value rail- roads and other public utilities on WHAT THEY COST, not on a purely fictitious value that their owners may ,Cost to the millers.... 1,200 pounds of shorts, Saco price, $3 ................... 5 800 pounds bran, Saeo pnce, $3 .. ICost to consumer ..............$312 This leaves a profit of ........$106 with which to fight the League. There are many Montana towns that ship out as much as 100,000 bush- els of wheat in a season, in which case the farmers contribute $106,000 to the dear old milling trust. And still there are farmers that can’t see the need of organization. Which makes one think of the old saying: “You may lead a horse to water, but you can not make him drink. You may lead an ass to knowledge but you can not make him think.” 1 expect these figures will bring out a storm of protest from the fat boys, but let us have light on this subject—God knows.we need it. M. 0. MALMIN. D/ Railroad Rates place on them. And they will be al- lowed to earn a fair income on what they cost, and not on the value of es- timated “unearned increment” and millions of shares of watered stock. The North Dakota legislature has - given old man Unearned Increment a hard blow. - He won’t count for much in future in railroad rate hearings in North Dakota. The public will get the advantage of lower rates, indus- ‘tries will be built up, the railroads will handle more business and will get fair returns on every dollar actually invested in their properties—and no more. Grain Shippers Misrepresent Facts In an effort to line up country ele- vators against the new laws of North Dakota, officers of the Tri-State Coun- try Grain Shippers’ association .are sending out a circular letter to ship- pers, falsely representing that North Dakota proposes to confiscate the ele- vators. — In a further effort to line up buyers, Secretary J. H. Adams predicts that under state operation . of elevators, salaries will be reduced to one-third of what they are now. This is the letter that Secretary Adams is sending out to shippers- in North Dakota: “Fellow Shipper: With other ship- pers of your state we assume that you must be worried over-the outcome of political activity in your state that is taking an attitude against your inter- ests. Every grdin buyer for an eleva- tor and owner in the Northwest has a serious problem confronting him and we want you to join hands with us in protecting our rights. “On the 19th of this month the di- rectors of this association passed fa- vorably upon a recommendation that may save the situation by asking for federal aid and protection. As far as the citizens of each state are concern- ed, they are powerless to act, but the Tri-State association and some: of its members have interstate holdings and may be obliged to ask federal aid in stopping the confiscating of our prop- erty. “After going over the matter care- fully we feel quite sure of our ground and propose taking action immediately and wish to put up the strongest pos- sible front on the start. What we want you to do is this: Send us your ! membership by return mail. We must i ~have your financial and moral support. WE SHALL WORK QUIETLY, EF- FECTIVELY AND SWIFTLY: 05 S | : ‘ Unless: we take action _now. your property ‘may’ onfisc: % taxes. To managers of farmer eleva- tor companies we wish to forecast that in the event their state takes over their elevators they will no longer require the services of an ex- perienced buyer and SALARIES WILL PROBABLY BE REDUCED TO ONE-THIRD OF WHAT THEY NOW ARE. : “This is not a matter that you can put off. Action must be taken imme- diately. Send in your membership by return mail and join the other country shlppers of the Northwest m\protect- ing your interests. “Yours very truly, “THE TRI-STATE COUNTRY GRAIN SHIPPERS’ ASS’N., “J. H. Adams, Secretary. - GET “GOPHERS” EARLY. The time approaches for the annual appearance of the “gopher.” U. S. Ebner, the agricultural college gopher man, has found by careful observa- - tion that the young are born April to June, six to twelve per litter. One “gopher” ‘poisoned early may be as good as a dozen poisoned later. The opher bait recommended by the exa: tension division. of the North Dakota: |.. ‘Agricultural ~college: and the -United States biological survey has proved to be the most effective and economical “gopher” killer. - Definite arrange- ments have been made to follow up “gopher” extermination work.
