MORE FUNDS
ARE NEEDED
FROM STATE
Col. Morton Page Discusses,
Need in Ohio 60. 4;
Flood Sufferers Need More Than
Has Been Raised
State Papers Urged to Take the
Matter Up

Il have just received from Mayor
the results OF the benefit entertain
ment given at the Bljous theatre on
April g." said Col. Morton Page, treas
urer of the state fund for food suffer-
ers, today This amount have plac-
ed to the credit of the state fund, re-
suIting from the proclamation of Gov
ernor. Hanna calling on. tiis people of
the state to lend what assistance they
could to the flood stricken communi-
ties Of Ohio and Indiana.
"Inasmuch as the contributions so
far received from the people outside
of Fargo under the call Of the govern
or's proclamation have been so small,
have augmented this fund by this
Fargo contribution to the amount
named above. Fargo has been very
liberal with the contributions to this
cause. The amounts that have been
forwarded to the relief of the flood
sufferers mentioned nave been in, eX-
cess of $4,000 to date, through the
newspapers and commercial club and
other sources within the city, and l
wish that you newspaper fellows
would let the people of the state know
that with this Fargo contribution of
something over 800 that the state
fund is less than $3.50 at this time.
I'm a letter received from Governor
Hanna this morning. in reply to mine
reporting results, he suggests that
some publicity be given the fact that
the contributions from throughout the
state have been small to date and sug-
gesting that II with some publicity
given the fact, that more Is not forth
coming that whatever is in hand be
sent to the American Red Cross So
ciety.
He informs me that the suffering
and losses among the poor of the To-
calities mentioned is far greater than
we, here of the west, appreciate and
that moneys can be used in excess of
that so far contributed throughout the
country at large. Indeed prominent
citizen Of Cincinnati, who has just ar
rived here, says: The destruction Of
homes and property is beyond descrip-
ton, and it is almost wholly among
the poorer classes, who usually dwell
along the river bottoms where the
land is cheap
Il believe If your local newspapers
will make known the fact that the
state Is doing little outside of the
larger cities that many who would
ing in money and make the fund
creditable one"
The Forum suggests that the news
papers of the state. outside of the
large cities. where no systematic cam
paign has been started to raise funds
for the flood sufferers could do a great
deal to alleviate suffering II they took
this matter up in their community, as
suggested by Colonel Page in the
above interview.
To avoid confusion it should be un-
derstood that this is not an appeal
from Fargo. 1t is the appeal from the
state. Although Col. Morton Page is
president of the Fargo Commercial
club, it is not in that capacity that he
has made this appeal He was named
treasurer to receive state funds un-
der the proclamation of Governor
Hanna and 1t is in that capacity that
he asks for a more liberal response
from the state.

Thompson Declares Congress
Blocks Path
Greater Efficiency Needed in
Naval Forces

Washington, April l1.-congress
stands in the way of efficient control
of the navy. according to Col. Robert
NJ Thompson, chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the navy league of
the United States. Younger admirals,
he declared. are also necessary to
make the American feet effective in
time of war
For some reason he said, "con-
gress always had a strong prejudice
against giving high rank to officers
in the navy. When the Spanish war
broke out the entire system of pro-
motion was ignored. Officers to COM
mand a fleet were selected even from
the captains list. the senior officers
being ignored.
Under the present law our admir-
ais are too old when they reach the
flag rank and have too little expert
ence in command to be properly
qualified for the handling of feet
in time of war"
Late today the delegates were
guests at the exhibition cavalry drill
at Fort Myer.

LIBEL Law has
BEEN CHANGED

Grafton Record: We are surprised
to learn that the last legislative as
sembly amended the libel law by re-
ducing the grade of the offense from a
felony to a misdemeanor. Eight years
ago, while stinging under the criticism
of the newspapers of the state, certain
political influences during the closing
hours of the session, demanded and
secured the passage of a libel law
making the offense felony
If these politicians who busted them
selves In the matter expected to nluz-
zle the press of the state they were
badly mistaken. Immediately the
newspaper men of the state became
more critical, more bold in denouncing
wrong and more mercfless in holding
up to public scorn the men who We're
manipulating state politics Tor their
own base purposes. Many arrests have
been made during these eight years
unGer the law and many trials con-
Quoted, but not a single conviction re-
suited. The penalty was too drastic,
and the juries rebelled and nullified
the law. Now that the grade of the
offense is reduced to that of a nlisde-

Washington, April 11.-President
Wilson was urged to day to agree to a
modification in. the tariff schedule on
sugar to make it discretionary with
the executive at the end of three
years whether sugar should be free.
Former Governor Adams of Colora-

TO cent a pound as is now provid-
ed in the tariff bill, the knowledge
that sugar will be free at the end of
three years will have depressing ef-
feet on business during that period.
The house democrats prepared for
the first sharp fight over the tariff
when the sugar schedule came up in
party caucus. The democrats met be-
hind closed doors with the iron and
steel tariff under consideration, but
with the prospect that the sugar fight
will break before the end of the day.
A study of the tariff continued on
the senate side where the democrats
of the finance committee called the ex-
perts to help analyze the house bill.
