NORTH DAKOTA CONGRESS-
MAN DELIVERS SPEECH
IN THE LOWER HOUSE
Government Ownership
of Roads Is Asked
War Has Done Much for Farmer
and He Is Not in Complaining
Mood, But Desires to Hold All
That Is Gained.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ga political
drive designed to seat not less than
fifty farmer congressman in the house
of representatives at the fall election
to hold the gains made by the far
mers non-partisan league.
The farmer, through the represen-
tatives, will insist upon government
ownership of railroads, federal control
of shipping and elimination of the
middleman for all time.
John M. Baer, at present sole rep
resentative of the non-partisan league
in congress said today:
"It is astonishing how little inter-
est Washington now has in the farm
ing industry. When it comes to busi-
ness it is different. Business is or
ington and gets, not only credit, but
cash, for shipbuilding and munitions
making l have no complaint on that
score, but I want the farmer to do the
same thing
1.-The war has done much for the
farmer" Baer went on. "While he
feels that the government, after fix
ing the price of his wheat, shoulC
also fix the price of cotton, steel
lumber, shoes and clothing-the
things he has to buy-he is not in ;
mood for much complaining. The
railroads have been taken over, th'
middleman cut out and the problem
of ship congestion solved. If thu
steps were necessary in time of wa
the farmers contend they are just a
necessary in time of peace, and the.
will fight against any effort to returl
to the old way of doing business.
A special session of the legislator
of North Dakota is now considerin
the appropriation of money to provid
the farmer with seed This measur
when passed will form strong plan
in the platform for the congresslona
campaign.
''The state of North Dakota has
farmers legislature" Baer explained
"Such a legislature can see the fal
mers' needs. The other states hav
the regular old fashioned political
legislature. Business and corporatio
are so big that they keep before tn
eyes of these legislatures all the tim
and the farmer gets no show. Thi
condition will be corrected when tn
farmers are organized"

FOOD CONTROLLER HOOVER
SAYS POOR MUST BE RE-
LIEVED OF BURDEN
New Basis of Conserva-
ton Need
Control of Distribution Urged in
Letter Written to Congressman
Sydney Anderson Who Has Bill
in House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29-The bur-
den of food saving must be placed on
the luxurious and greedy" and not
upon the poor
This must be the basis of absolutely
necessary new conservation and food
saving legislation.
Herbert c. Hoover today announced
this as his position in a letter writ
ten to Representative Sidney Ander-
son, of Minnesota, who had proposed
new food legislation. The Anderson
proposal of legislation, Mr.. Hoover
says. does not go far enough.
The legislation that is to come
through the extension of the Lever
act, Mr. Hoover said, must include:
Control OF distribution in order tina
all classes and localities shall far
alike and that unnecessary consump
tion shall be prevented.
Control of use of foodstuffs in fooC
manufactures with a view to limiting
the less essential manufactures.
Control of commodities CRITICAL.
necessary for the production ant
preservation of foodstuffs in order t
prevent great losses of military sac
rifices.

PEOPLE SIT UP AND TAKE
NOTICE AT ELEVENTH
HOUR
Friends Answering All
Objections
System Will Pay Out If Bonds
Carry-Terrific Danger From
Fire Through Bad Water Mains
Is Strongly Urged.

The bond election is Held tomorrow
at the two ward election places, one
in the basement of the Hotel Perrine
and the other in the basement of the
Johnson Auto Sales company, and a
final effort is being made to arouse
interest among the majority of the
voters, who are for the issue Cir
cuiars calling attention to the cleo
ton have been sent out and friends
of the measure are busy refuting the
few arguments that have been put up
against them.
new objection raised is that the
old waterworks system should not
only pay for itself but should build
a new one. Notwithstanding the al
most defunct condition of the old sys-
tenn it pays very nicely, but the cost
of maintenance is SO great that it eats
up most of the profits, is the reply
made by friends Of the bonds But the
old system will not last If it should
and the city should never grow an1
more in the course of time, a new
system could be built. Should thu
bonds be voted, it is made clear, thu
saving on maintenance would pay thu
interest and perhaps more and a clea
profit of $4,000 a year or more coul'
go into a sinking fund to pay for tn
whole system. The present system 1
inadequate. it means more fire losses
higher insurance, poor gardens an
unsatisfactory service and extra cost
With an hour and a half afte
the fire in the First National Ban
building an obstruction in the lin
stopped the whole supply. Had
occurred when the fire was on, tn
damage would have been inca1culablt
Less than two weeks ago there wa
another similar occurance.
That there will be large vote ou
tomorrow and that the bonds vii
carry by a safe majority is the pre-
dfotion today heard on every hand.

While the governor did not state his

that "he win act upon the recon-

Another Terrific
Storm In East
Points Are Suffering Badly-Shut-
down General.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 28-"Heatless
Monday" found the entire east snow
bound today. Heavy snow, strong
winds and bad drifts were causing
much damage everywhere. Railway
transportation throughout the east
was we'll nigh at a standstill.
Early reports from the local fuel
representatives indicated that the
shut down of industry was general.
Most of the reports indicated that only
those industrial and establishments
specifically exempted by the fuel adj
ministration were operating. The re-
suit would be very material saving
of fuel, the officials in charge of the
situation said. The storm, however
was causing concern everywhere. Fri
day and Saturday conditions had
moderated and the railroads of the
east and central west were operating
Several cities in the east are suffer
ing.
