FILE VIGOROUS |
PROTEST AGAINST
STORAGE Limit
North Dakota Representa-
tives Asked to Have
Measure Rescinded

A vigorous protest against the go
day storage limitation for grain in
northwest, elevators imposed by the
national food administration was
outlined in a telegram sent to North
Dakota senators and congressman
In Washington Wednesday, asking
them to do everything in their pow
er to have the order rescinded, ac-
cording to J, A. McGovern, Fargo,
who returned today from Bismarck
where he attended meeting Of state
officials called to discuss ways and
means Of defeating the order.
Present at the meeting were mem
bers Of the state railway commits
sion, Governor Lynn j. Frazier, At
torney Gem William LANCER, Sec
rotary of State Thomas Hall and Mr..
McGovern.
The belief was expressed that linn
iting storage to 80 days would mar
row the market, cripple transporta-
ton facilities and take away from
the producer such protection as the
provlsos of the law were intended
to give.
The telegram follows:
Food administration license regu-
lation requires elevators to give
storage facilities to-. no one except
the administration for more than 30
days. Storage tickets governing
transaction permits wafehousemen
to- ship grain covered by such tick
cts at the end of the 80 days period,
to the terminal market for the best
price obtainable.
IF wheat is forced to terminals in
large quantities there is grave danger
of depressing prices, assuming that
the government price is a maximum
as law seems to provide. Believe the
80 day storage limitation will tend to
cripple transportation facilities, con-
gest terminals, and will take away
from producers all the projections
which provisos in the law intended
to give through exemptions in Sec
lions 5. 8 and rs. Do everything pos
sible TO have this regulation rescind-

Mailman.


It probably, isn't much fun being
mailman. If 1t were more people
would go in for 1t and then every
one would have to answer more of
their letters to give all the mailmen
something to do. People do not like
to write letters as much today as
they used to and yet there are more
mail boxes today to mail letters in
than there ever were. Fifty years
ago today there were very few mail
boxes in this country west of the AL
leganies. Now one sees mailboxes
everywhere except when one is look
ing for None. There are more mall
men today than ever before. But
recent statistics say that they are
dying of and fifty years from now
the government may have to use
something else in place of them.
Mailmen may become so rare that
there will be only one to town. In
this case good arrangement would
be to haYe several hundred mayors
and one mailman instead of the pres
ent scheme. Then more men could
be mayors and all mayors would
most likely have something to do.

The st. Paul Dispatch says:

criticism-it should have come earli-
err The impression was permitted to
grow that the state authorities were
temporiZing with. situation admit
teddy menacing. It was apparent days
ago that trouble was morally certain
to attend such gathering-that the
peace of the community was threat
ened-that such an atmosphere had
been created that the danger OF a
clash was imminent. All Of this fur
nished sufficient reason for positive
order prohibiting the convention in
the interest of public peace and safe
ty, and the wonder was that such an
order was not sooner forthcoming.
Patriotic sentiment and common
sense will unite in support of the
course Governor Burnquist now has
taken. Minnesota is no fermenting
ground for disloyal discussion. The
proclamation will go to every nook
and corner Of the nation as notice
that this state offers no forum for
seditious oratory, no asylum for pro-
kaiserism, no opportunity for the ex-
preston of sentiment calculated in
any way to Interfere with the gov
ernment's war program and policy;
but, on the contrary, will deal sum-
marily with sedition and disloyalty.
Gradually but surely Minnesota is
purging herself of the faint Of cop
perheadism. This decisive order by
the Governor will have a salutary
effect in strengthening the public
opinion that prisons should yawn for
every man whose word or act stamps
him as anti American in this world
