Situation Is

Lawrence Wires

Aubrey Lawrence, presi-
dent of the Fargo CONNER
cial club, and j. G. Brown,
delegated a committee to
appear before the price fix
ing committee at Washing
ton at the mass meeting
held Saturday morning,
may not be granted a hear
ing before the board, Mr..
Lawrence wired Morton
Page today, but it is prob
able that Harry A. Garfield
chairman of the board, may
grant a conference.
Herbert G. Hoover, food
commissioner, wants to fix
the price at about $1.70 a
bushel, according to Mr..
Lawrence's telegram which
follows:
Washington, d. G. Aug. 81.
"Morton Page,

APPROPRIATION FELT
Shipping Board Will Seek Presidents q

Billion Dollars.
(By Assoelated Press. )

Washington, Aug. 21.-A billion

building program.
Contracts soon to be placed for a

yesterday, will send the total far
above the O0,000, 900 additional es-
timated by thes board. President
Wilson's approval Of the request for
the appropriation will be sought i'm
mediately. The board already has
been given three quarters of a bill
lion dollars, all OF which has gone
into contracts and the purchase of
ships. The billion more is needed
before the board can proceed with its

policy has destroyed the entire mar
keting system until no one daref
buy, which, has reduced prices seven
ty-five cents and 1t seeks to furth-
er reduce the price sixty-flve cents
more. Is not this arbitrary reduc-
tion an added war tax placed on the
farmer alone? Should you or our
government seek. to furnish to our
people, our army, or our allies cheap
bread by. placing the entire burden
on the farmer? With the short

Should this outrage ge perpret-
.ated2 VIII the government have
reason to complain If the spirit Of
discomfort, anarchy and socialism
increase, and socialism and its kin

'Is the farmer not a part of gov-
ernment concern or is it his business
to furnish cheap bread for others
when wheat is the worlds scarest
food and every item OF its cost in
creased from twenty to one hundred
per cent? Are You remembering
that seed cost four dollars per acre?
North Dakota's wheat acreage will
not exceed flxe bushels per acre. Our
crop will cost more than two dollars
and twenty-five cents per bushel.
Do not destroy the belief of the
farmer that the government seeks
to be just and fair. To have to
commander the wheat crop of a re-
public creates a condition that spells
bad for the future.
"A war carried on to preserve
democracy should not be carried on
by doing things more arbitrary and
unjust than any autocracy has ever
exercised. Democracy's foundation
must be fundamentally just.
ITO be unwilling to sell wheat
even to the government at war times
at less than cost is no evidence of
lack of patriotism. We are the
richest nation the world has ever
seen. There is no need now that the
farmer be made to suffer a money
loss. Should that time ever come
the farmer will be as patriotic as our
other citizens.
Respectfully,
