% % 2, N NORTH DAKOTA HE state supreme court has upheld the industrial program in a test suit brought by five Burleigh county farmers. The fed- eral district court had previously upheld the right of the state to enter the industrial field in the so- called “42 taxpayers’ ” suit. This case is now before the supreme court of the United States. The recent special ses- sion of the legislature asked the United States supreme court to advance the case on its calendar so that an early decision can be secured.

A e e T T R R R T S A T —————————— ————————————————— l Y .4 é////////// North Dakota’s first state-owned mill at Drake produced net profits of $5,660.569 in its first 111 days’ opera- tion, according to the report of a firm of Fargo auditors to J. A. McGovern, manager of the mill and elevator as- sociation. Before figuring profits there were deduct&d from the earnings not merely the expenses of operation, but also in- terest on the capital used, at the rate of 5 per cent, depreciation at the rate of 3 cents per barrel of flour manufac- tured, salaries of office workers and all expenses of the industrial'commission chargeable to the mill. If the mill profits continue at this rate the profits for the year will be 83 per cent on the initial cost of $20,000. The big success of the Drake mill, Mr. McGovern points out, is not its profit but the fact that it is securing for farmers of the state full returns from their wheat crop. In the period covered by the report 31,651 bushels of wheat were handled, 6,575 barrels of flour and 188 tons of bran and shorts produced. Fifty-nine tons of screenings were taken from the ‘wheat, for which farmers were paid at the full market rate. Mr. McGovern points out that while a number of anti-farmer papers have attacked the high record of profits - shown by an earlier report, “not a milling publication in the country criticized that report. The successful and experienced miller knows that what was accomplished at Drake dur- ing the first 46 days of its operation was not a high record for profits. Al- most every privately owned mill in the state is making higher profits than that.” On the first day of sales $100,000 of mill and elevator bonds were disposed of by the Grand Forks Commercial club and labor assembly. Az soon as $300,000 of bonds are sold work on the mill and elevator will start. In spite of a succession of poor crop years North Dakota is prosper- ous. Fargo bank clearings increased 35 per cent during the past year and sales of farm machinery and imple- ments, tractors and automobiles in- creased 41 per cent. MONTANA The secretary of state has been served with an injunction forbidding him to receive referendum petitions against the bill passed by the special session of the legislature to kill the open primary. The injunction was not received, however, until after he had certified that the referendum was officially “over the top.” : Judge Poorman, who issued the in- junction at the behest of an attorney employed by the Anaconda Copper company, held thak the law killing the open primary was ‘an emergency measure and no referendum was pos- sible. Attorney General Ford has taken an appeal to the supreme court. If Judge Poorman is upheld the state-wide primary for nomination of state and county officers will be held at the same time as the presidential primaries in April, when the farmers are busy seeding, and will be a “clos- ed” primary. Between 40,000 and 50,000 residents of Montana joined the League cam- paign to save the open primary, sign- ing petitions which were forwarded to the secretary of state. IDAHO ¢ A special session of the legislature has been called for February 11, os- tensibly to ratify woman suffrage. Re- PAGE EIGHT 223 ,' / ,’, publican state politicians have called a conference, at the same time, of the “Idaho Republican Press associa- tion,” organized recently to combine papers against the Nonpartisan league. A series of League meetings in southern Idaho are rousing astonish- ing enthusiasm and farmers are join- ing faster than ever before. League headquarters also are constantly in re- ceipt of volunteer memberships by mail or by personal visit. Leaders believe the spirit shown is a sure in- dication of victory this fall. The state is becoming worked up over the proposed Bruneau irrigation project, in which E. T. Meredith, pub- lisher of Successful Farming, Des Moines, Towa, is one of the chief pro- moters. Idaho residents hold against Meredith the promotion of a deal in Idaho lands 10 years ago in which in- vestors lost $230,000. Governor D. W. Davis, former Governor Frank R. Gooding and the Idaho Power com- pany also are mixed up in the Bru- neau project. MINNESOTA Minnesota politicians are predicting their own defeat by the farmer-labor candidates in the Republican primary next June. The only hope remaining, they say, is the possibility of a fusion between all elements opposed to the League and labor in the November election. : The latest organization to oppose the League is the “Citizens’ league,” ADVERTISEMENTS Highest grade, guaranteed == 10 grow and absolutely de- ¢, the kind to use for valuable We are groavers—buy dired.
