A bit of sharp business dealing that
has recently come to the attention Of
state authorities and to stop which
steps have been taken is the practice
Of North Dakota automobile owners
going to Minnesota and securing Ii.
cense tags from that state because
they are cheaper. It was recently dis
covered that numerous North Dako.
tans had gone to Moorhead, Mimi,
just across the river from Fargo,
sworn they were residents of that
state and secured a tag good for three
years, which cost them $3.50. The same
tag secured in North Dakota would
cost 50, thereby efecting a saving to
the thrifty motorist- Of 81 hQ-Secra=
tary of State Hall has taken up the
matter with the Minnesota authorities
and the police have been asked to
watch for offenders.
Changes in the postal mail service,
effective last Friday on the main line
Of the Great Northern between st.
Paul and Spokane, in which forty
three clerks are affected and, with the
result that Fargo will be made q COM
mon terminal, were announced from
the Office Of E. G. Olwin at Fargo, the
chief clerk of that district: Through
the change twenty-three clerks with
families and two single clerks will
make Fargo their headquarters be-
tween o and winter. The change
is made by the railway postal service
to create another Western district
which will be in the Thirteenth divi-
sion, comprising Montana, Idaho and
Washington. BY the creation of this
new district the department hopes to
divide all runs Of more than twelve
hours in length, making the, runs as
close to eight hours as possible.
Resolutions were adopted at q meet.
ing of farmers, representing the Non
partisan league, at Dickinson, petition
ing President Wilson to remove from
Office Governor Theodore Void and
Chairman John H. Rich of the North
District Federal Reserve bank at Min
neapolis because of their recent state
ments as to the alleged apathy of the
farmers of the Northwest in subscrib-
ing for, Liberty bonds. The resolu.
tions assert the two men in their re-
marks have reflected upon the patri.
otism of the farmers, that they have
hitherto shown favoritism in favor Of
the Minneapolis Grain exchange as
against the Equity Cooperative ex.
change, which is the farmers organi.
zation for marketing their products.
The petition asks that officers more in
sympathy with the farmers be named
to succeed Mr.. Void and Mr.. Rich.
George M. Houge, secretary of the
North Dakota game commission, an.
nounced at Steele that the names OF
the newly appointed game wardens
throughout North Dakota would not
be made public by the commission
This action, he. said, is to protect the
game of the state by making it more
difficult for those who hunt out Of sea
son to know when they are clear o.
game wardens. "The commission in
tends to try a little secrecy in connec
ton with the deputy SERVICE" Mr.
Houge said. 1--WE have followed the
plan Of giving publicity to our ,ap
pointments for a number Of years and
find that it makes an embarrassing sit
uation for the men. Now no one needs
to know who the deputy is until he ap
pears in court as a witness. We be
lieve that the doubt as to the identity
of the warden will make prospective
game law %violators hesitate.
