JAMES 0. FAGAN
TO SPEAK BEFORE
LOCAL DINNER CLUB
Representative of New York Chamber
Of Commerce To Be Heard On
"Unhampered Industry" Next
Saturday Evening.

Industry must be unhampered il
the United States is to win this war;
will be the subject of Mr. James O.
Pagan, travelling representative OF
the New York chamber Of commerce
who will address the Watertown Man
ufacturers Dinner club at st. Henry s
hall Saturday evening at 8 o'clock.
On his speaking tour in behalf of the
National Industrial Conservation
Movement, Mr.. Pagan has created a
deep impression with his theories re-
garding the industrial situation. It is
through speakers of Mr.. Fagan's type
that the National Industrial Conserva-
ton Movement has been carrying on
its campaign to prepare American in
dustry for the needs of peace and
war, and to eliminate the industrial
harassments such as labor strife, un-
wise business laws and public antag-
Onism to business which stands in the
way of industrial efficiency.
In it's attempt to blase a safe and
prosperous path for the American in
dustry the conservation movement
does not depend entirely upon the
spoken word. 1t also works extern
sively through the press and even the
screen. 1t issues broadcast among
shops and plants, monthly newspa-
per and posters which emphasize the
ned Of real friendly cooperation be-
tween employer and employee, and
impressing upon the minds of these
two factors in industry that they are
really partners Other posters dilating
upon the need for harmonious CO.
operation between business and the
public are now being circulated
through trade bodies and mercantile
houses. In order to reach a class 9TH
erwise inaccessible to educational
campaigns of this kind, lantern slides
are made UP on the same general idea
and issued to moving picture houses
throughout the country
The paramount idea behind the ma
tlOnal industrial conservation move
ment is cO-OperatiOn-cO-Op operation be-
tween government and business, be-
tween employer and employee and be-
tween business and the public 1t is
the theory of the industrial leaders
who instigated the movement, that
without this program of cooperation
industry cannot hope to meet the ex-
cessive demand of war nor survive
foreign competition after the war.

United States district court for an
Injunction restraining the collection

Alnidon, presiding over the Unitei

irg beer called to California py the
illness of his son.
Taxes approximating 5000, 900 are
involved. The railroads have volun-
teered to pay $1,S0O,00O in current
taxes whose justice they do not pro-
test. The carriers claim as regards
the 100000 unpaid is that it rep-
REGENTS an unlawful excess resulting
from an unfair method Of taxation BY
which the railroads are assessed at
~ per cent Of their actual valuation
while no other property is assessed to
exceed rs per cent.
The tax commission demurs to the
railroads petition for an injunction on
the grounds that this is not a case
IN equity and that the carriers are
seeking relief in a manner not proper
under the conditions.

T0WNLEYlIES
MUST SHOULDER
RESPONSIBILITY
Obnoxious Part of the Seed
Bonding Act Insisted on
by the House.

Bismarck, N. D., March 18.-The
announcement that. the st. Paul Fed
eral Land Bank is to withdraw from
North Dakota, is a blow to the grain
growers of the Flickertail state, which
has pending applications for approx
mately $9,500,00 in loans. In some
sections the last two crops have been
almost complete failures. The past
winter has been a bitter one for farm
nave not been in the state long
enough to acquire much capital re-
serve.
The seed bonding act which con-
tains the section to which the Fed
eral Land bank takes exceptions,
originated in the house, and it con-
tanned this provision when 1t went
from the house to the senate. In the
senate this section was stricken out,
and other amendments added with a
view to making the act more work.
able. It was then sent back to the
house for the latter's concurrence.
The house declined to concur and re-
ferred the bill to a conference COM
mtttee Of three from the house and
three from the senate. This commit
tee remained in session from Saturday
evening until Monday afternoon about
o'clock, devoting more than 20
hours to discussion of the bill. Two
provisions were the center of dispute.
One Of them provided for the state
guaranteeing the bonds issued by the
various counties; the other was to
give the seed contracts priority over
all mortgages which might be execut-
ed after this act became effective.
Senator Jacobson, the only indie
pendent member Of the committee,
argued for more han 20 hours upon
the proposition of the state guaranty
and the priority clause. Senator Jacob
son strenuously opposed the state
guaranty provision as we'll as the pro-
vision which would give the seed con-
tracts priority owe mortgages, exc
cuted after the law became effective.

aimed at any worthy patriotic organ
ization, but rather is designed for the
M. c. A.. the Knights Of Columbus,
salvation Army. War Library council
and similar officially recognized or
CARNATIONS. The National Council of
Defense has requested that the state
council of defense become responsible
for all wal work conducted within
North Dakota in order that the pub
lie may not be imposed upon by indis-
criminate schemes, often of private
which go before The people with
pleas for money under a p%retense of
patriotism. Many Of these organiza-
tions. it is claimed, exist largely for
the support of some ambitious per-
SON in the Office Of secretary, and it
is contended that lack of organiza-
ton and e~xtravagant management
often results in 80 per cent of the
money presumably given for the relief
being eaten up by expenses right here
at home. Hereafter no solicitor who
cannot display a certificate Of au-
thority from the North Dakota state
council Of defense need be considered
entitled to recognition, 40 matter how
plausible his or her scheme may be
made to appear. Organizations be-
fore they can procure a license from

every penny goes, how much is eaten
UP by expenses Of operation and how
much goes to the which con-
tributors seek to aid.
