EXPECT A BIG CROP
North Dakota Farmers Pleased
With Spring

Absence of spring rains In North
Dakota means a larger area of wheat
planted and the history of the state
shows that In no year that there has
been a dry spring has there been a crop
failure. Capt. j. P. Baker of Bismarck,
who has lived in North Dakota for a
quarter of century, is willing to risk
his reputation as prophet on the
statement that this year will prove no
exception to the rule
The season opened unusually early
in North Dakota" said Capt Baker at
the Merchants hotel last night, "and
seeding will not be completed in our
state for some weeks to come The
mild winter was followed by an early
spring Farmers were plowing con-
slderably more than. a month ago.
Steam plows are being used to ad-
vantage in breaking new land one ma n
that / know having already contracted
to turn over 900 acres of virgin prairie
with his steam plow. / venture TO say
that more steam plows have been sold
in the. state this year than in all the
previous history of North Dakota. One
advantage of the steam plow is that it
may be set to plow the ground at any
depth, and the deeper the better, espe-
cially in a dry season.
I'VE are bound to have plenty of
rain and the delay in its coming has
given the farmers an opportunity to do
much more spring plowing than usual.
There is no trouble about wheat being
brought ito maturity in our state. The
grave danger is that the growing grain
is sometimes subject to long seasons of
hot, dry winds. If the rains hold off for
two weeks longer, il is safe to say that
there will be the largest acreage ever
sown to. wheat in our state. and the
experience of our farmers is that a dry
spring means good wheat crop. We
in North Dakota are not complaining
of scarcity of rain just yet"

ECONOMIST TALKS ON
RATE REGULATION
Washington Expert Points Out
Flaw i'm Commissions
Work

Perhaps the clearest explanation of
the pending rate legislation in Wash
ington that has been given in the form
of an interview in St.sPaul was told to
r he G lob b e last night at the Ryan
hotel by II. T. Newcomb, a well known
lawyer of Washington and a writer oil
economies and political questions. Mr..
Newcomb is the author Of the text book
Railway Economies which is in use
in many institutions of higher learn
ing.
In explaining the general conclusions
that may be drawn from the question
as it now stands, he said:
There is no question possible as to
the present sufficiency of the power of
the interstate commerce commission to
do all that the makers of the interstate
commerce act contemplated. If the
commission would use all the legal
power invested in it and keep strictly
within the spirit and intent of the law
the unsettling questions that have
arisen with regard to railway manage
ment would never have come up.
1T is the exceeding of the powers
Intentionally or otherwise by the COM
mission that has resulted in trouble
and discussion. Take the legal pro-
ceedlngs that have been brought by
the commission in the courts where the
subject matter in dispute has been the
level of rates and 80 out Of "a cases so
brought up have been reversed against
the ruling of the commission.
1T is asked that the commission be
given the power to make a rate and put
it into effect during the pendency of
the appeal that would most certainly be
taken by the railroad involved. If 80
out of "a rulings of the commission in
the past have been reversible would not
the railroads suffer a most outrageous
wrong by being obliged to accept rates
that were not in accordance with the
principles of equity?
AT present there are 10000 men en-
gagged solely in the compilation of
freight rates. Now how in the world
could any five men take over the du
ties of 10000 and do as well as they
do?
1T is admitted that even with the
best and most careful service some
mistakes occur in the framing of rates,
but it is certain as anything can be
that a commission would make a thou
sand errors while the 10000 trained
freight officials make one"
Mr.. Newcomb will return to Chicago
today.

The trouble is not in the sermons
which he has preached along reform
lines, as understand matters, but from
other, interior, causes. We had a lit

rejecting his eastern call was present.
ed before the meeting. 1t is an un-
pleasant thing to discuss, but circum-
| stances have forced us into our pres
ent position"
The trouble at the annual meeting
had an undercurrent which did not leak
out until yesterday. DR.. Fulton presid-
ed at the meeting. A resolution was
introduced by Harvey L. Mills request
ing him to refuse a call which had
come to him from a church In Newark,
n. j., and to decide to remain with the
Central Presbyterian church. B. II.
Schriber at once moved that the reso-
luton be voted on by ballot, and Earl
Renieger responded to this motion by
declaring that members who did not
have the backbone to express their con-
victions in a rising vote should not be
allowed to vote at all.
Things were exciting for the mo-
ment, and DR.. Fulton requested that
Shaw rose to debate this disposition of
| the resolution, but DR.. Fulton ruled the
| matter not debatable. The motion as
| originally made was put to a vote and
| carried, but the resolution remained
tabled.
Before the meeting, 1t now develops,
letters had been circulated opposing
the reelection of Trustees B. S. Osgood
and DIR. F. ID. Kendrick and of Elder
Webster Smith. These letters were
signed by man who actively cham
pioned the cause of DR.. Fulton in the
annual meeting. The men mentioned
in the letters declare themselves to be
at loss for an explanation of the
writer's motives in sending the let
tiers. unless their known opposition to
the pastor was the real underlying rea-
son.
DR.. Fulton himself does not consider
the petition move in a serious light
Last night he issued the brief state
ment:
You may say from me that this
thing will never go any further than
1t has. All the differences will be
amicably settled without the need of
petitions or remonstrances."

A meeting was held yesterday afternoon at the
Astor House enlist all those interested in the
passage of a measure compelling all nominees for
public Office to state only the expenses of their
campaigns, but the sources from which the money
is derived.
John Fox the president of the Democratic Club.

rnanent chairman. Mr.. Belmont. assuming his
duties. said in part:
New-York first among the States. by law
acted in 1890 required publication by candidates
only of their campaign expenses That law is OBJ
many other States have enacted laws requiring
such publication not only by candidates, & but by
chusetts and Missouri. such legislation has proved
beneficial.
There is no discredit necessarily to campaign
contribution There is. however, no inherent right
to secrecy and the policy of the proposed law is to
Gray. of Delaware mas written this sub
ject, and has this to say:
Corrupt practices acts have been largely an
availing and. seemingly, incapable of being en-
forced Compelled publicity to contributions
and campaign expenses will be efficient than
al of them put together toward suppressing the
evil of electoral corruption"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Bemont's speech a
resolution, offered by Controller-eect Herman A
