MAKE FEWER
IMPROVEMENTS
SAY R. R. MEN
Much Needed inx State For
Utmost Efficiency is N.
D. Reply.

Bismarck, N. D., July GA plea
for the freeing Of railways Of the
United States from needless con-
struction burdens is made by the
American Railway association in a
letter from its Washington headquar-
tiers today to the North Dakota state
railway commission. Writing to
Chairman S. j. Aandahl, the secre-
tary, Of the railway association says:
1.-THE present emergency has i'm
posed on the railways a very unusual
strain in transporting men, food, coal,
munitions and materials in augmented
quantities. This burden, while UNDER
taken cheerfully, requires every ounce
of energy, every unitsof rolling stock,
every dollar Of capital, every bit of
supplies and coaISwhich the railroads
can command"
Because Of these facts, the associ-
alton asks that the railways be re-
quired to make improvements only
when absolutely essential for war pur-
poses or public safety, calling atten-
ton to the difficulty which is encount-
r In obtaining construction ma
terials and the traffic blockade often
resulting from construction opera
lions.
Secretary J. H. C~alderhead of the
railway commission commented on
this petition to the effect that in
North Dakota there is much con
struction work needed If the utmost
efficiency Is to be obtained from rail-
way plants. He referred especially to
stockyards. loading platforms and
other installations which will aid In
the quick handling Of farm produce
and live stock.

STATE MAY NOT
MAKE AUTO TAGS.
Machinery for the Proposed
Plant Would Cost Large
Sum.

Bismarck. N. Sd, July 27.-Because
of the exorbitant price Of machinery
of all kinds, it is probable that on
Recommendation Of Secretary Of State
Hall the state board of control will
not for the present consider the in
stallation at the state penitentiary of
a plant for the manufacture o fauto-
mobile and motorcycle tags, road
signs and similar sheet metal devices
which are or may be handled by the
state.
The project has been under consid-
Grafton for some time, the recommen-
dalton coming originally from Secre-
tary of State Hall. Because Of the rap
i'd development of the automobile, the
few manufacturers who produce Ii
cense tags have found it impossible
to supply the demand. The manufac-
turer from whom the state has been
buying recently suggested that North
Dakota engage in the manufacture Of
its own tags by installing a plant at
the prison.
The secretary Of state on his return
from Fargo cast cold water on the
plans with his report that q plan,
would cost approximately $4,000 at
the present price Of machinery. It had
pense would not exceed $4,000, which
probably would be reasonable maxi
mum for any. but war times. The
plant, even at q cost Of $4,000, would
pay. for itself with two years output,
it is claimed, but the state has so lit
tie ready money in any fund available
for this purpose that the board Of con-
troll this morning was not inclined to
regard the scheme with favor.
