MEASURE
Will PASS HOUSE
WIRE RECEIVED THIS MORNING
FROM SEN. W. c. MCDOWELL
STATES THAT LEVER AGRI-
CULTURAL APPROPRIATION
BILL LOOKS LIKE PASSAGE.

A telegram was received this morn
ing from Sen. Wesley G. Mcdowell of
Marion, minority leader Of the state
senate who is now in Washington ap-
pearing before the congressional COM
mittee which has under consideration
the bills providing for demonstration
farm work and Senator Mcdowell
states that the Lever bill looks good
for passage.
In his telegram to Sec. w. c.. Mac
fadden Of the North Dakota State
Bankers association, Senator Nc
Dowell, former president of that or
ganization, says:
"Leever bill providing for demon
stration work looks like passage.
Everybody enthusiastic, only demo-
Gratis want economy. Taft says he
approves of work. So does Under
wood
Senator Mcdowell, as stated in The
Forum Monday, Feb. 26. has gone to
Washington as the representative of
the North Dakota State Bankers as
ISOLATION to attend the conference of
representatives Of other state bankers
associations regarding the different
agricultural appropriation bills pro-
viding for farm demonstration work
that are now pending in the w houses
of congress. Two Of the bills are
house bills and the third emanated in
the senate.
The two house bills were introduced
by Representatives Lever and Nc
Kinley. and Senator Page is the father
of the senate bill. The Lever bill,
which Senator Mcdowell says in his
message to Secretary Macfadden to-
day looks like passage. is particularly
appealing to the agricultural states
of the northwest and Of the nation
at large. One of its sections contains
a provision for the paying Of neces-
sary expenses Of maintaining agricul-
tural extension departments or di-
visions and appropriates about $780,
900 for the first ear and a graduated
increase to each state which shall by
action of its legislature assent to the
provisions of the act.
Federal aid would mean the expendi-
ture of $500, 900 the first year and a
graduated increase for ten years when
the maximum appropriation is reach
ed. and mean that an expert agricul-
tural advisor would be placed in every
county of the state taking advantage
of this act.
This committee Of the American
Bankers association, now in confer
ence in Washington, and the commit
tees Of the northwestern states APP
peared before the house committee on
agriculture yesterday. A concerted
effort was made to secure for the
northwestern states federal aid In sup
porting a county expert as is now in
operation in the cotton states of the
south. From the report of Senator
Mcdowell to Secretary Macfadden to-
day, it is presumed the bankers COM
mittee must have made considerable
impression on the congressman.
Senator McDowelIs aggressive abili-
ty, his deep interest in agricultural
progress, will enable North Dal:ota. to
be ably represented before the house
committee. He was personally en-
tertained by Rep. William b. McKin-
ley Of Illinois. author Of one OF the
other house agricultural appropria-
ton bills. last Wednesday evening at
dinner at the latter's hotel in the ma
tional capital.
