Taxicab License Law
May Be Attacked By
Fargo City Attorney

Fargo. N. D., Jan. w. H. Shure,
city attorney of Fargo, threatens to
attack the censtitutionality of the
county holds that the city of Fargo
cannot collect a license fee from taxi
cab owners
The city attorney declares that the
revocation of the power to collect a
fee is in his opinion contrary to the
constitution because it would take
from the counties and the municipali-
ties the power to tax property within
their borders.
The case of the city against Nick
Konen and C.. S. Doyle, taxi men, has
reached the district court Of Cass
county, for the purpose of testing the
city ordinance. The men were ar
rested last month.
Attorneys Barnett and Richardson,
for the defendants, claim that the
taxicab ordinance as passed by the
city commissioners last summer was
valid up to January /, 1913, when the
new state automobile law went into
effect, but now contrary to the new
law. The defendants for that reason
refuse to pay the SIS license fee re-
quired by the city for each car.

Mills SHOULD
SELL BRAN AT
$26.35 A TON
Figures are Based on a Price
of $2.O5 Per Bushel of
Wheat.

Fargo. N. D.. Jan. 7.-"Farmers
door in bulk at not t o exceed $26.35
a ton. where the average price of
wheat" at the mill is $2.05 a bushel,''
said DR.. E. F. Ladd, federal food adj
ministrator, in an interview here.
These figures are based on a new
ruling of the milling division of the
United States food administration.
This ruling advised the mills that
Temporarily and until a definite reg
ulation is issued. a maximum differ
entail on feed on mixed car lot or less
than a lot shipments should be SO
cents per ton over car lot basis"
The milling division says: 1--WE
know Of no reason why mills should
not desire to sell to farmers at mill
door: in fact. this regulation was put
into effect to accomplish this very
result as far as possible. We have no
doubt that mills generally will fall
into line to accomplish the result de-
The car lot basis is figured on a
ruling issued by the United States
food administration, which declared
that bulk price for bran shall in no
case exceed 38 per cent of the aver
age cost of one ton of wheat at the
mill.
On this basis the federal food adj
ministrator f1glred that if wheat cost
at the mill $2.05 per bushel the cash
rates for bulk carload lots at the mill
should be as follows:
Bran .......
Shorts or standard m~iddlings.. 27.S5
Mixed feeds 1855
Flour middlings ........... 34.s5
tLeu LOB ......... 4V.So
For any other price Of wheat, per
bushel. the figures would vary in pro-
portion.
Under the new ruling. allowing so
cents a ton additional for less than
carload lots, if the mill is paying $2.-
05 for wheat. the price Of bran in
bulk at the mill in less than a car
load lot would be s26.35.
The price for less than carload
lots in bulk should not in any case
exceed $3.50 at any mill in North
Dakota" says the food administra-
tor.
When sold in sacks the price Of the
sacks and a small charge for sack
ing is allowed.

IS AL BUNK, /"
SAYS GOVERNOR
Home Guard for Defense
Movement not Favored by
Governor Frazier.

Lynn J.. Frazier declared the efforts
Of the American Defence society to
have local vigilance corps organized
would classify all citizens az: l., loyal;
2. disloyal; 3, doubtful: 4. unknown
and make a further designation Of:
1, .alien-enemy; 2, pro-German: 3,
anti-government, is "all bunk" in an
interview given in the Leland hotel
here last night to q representative of
the Grand Forks. Herald. The chief
executive came to Minot for the pur-
pose OF delivering an address at the
dedication of the new consolidated
school in Harrison township, adjoin-
ing Minot, and the interview on the
vigilance corps and homo guards was
secured before he left to address the
assemblage at the school. He voiced
himself as mo- in favor of home guards
or vigilance corps in North Dakota.
IN regard to legaltzing home guards,
Governor Frazier declared he had no
authority to take any such step.
There is a law against such organiza-
lions, he said, and any changes in that
law would have to be made by the
legislature. Asked as to his personal
opinion on home guards, the governor
claimed he believed in military train
ing for men of the draft age, or men
who might see service. He believes
military drills were good because they
would awaken q, 9 spirit Of patriot
ism. But he did not believe home
guards were necessary. The home
guards could not have his endorse
ment.
DO you not consider home guards
necessary in event of trouble in the
harvest fields next fall either by or
ganized or unorganized labor?" he
was asked.
There is no necessity for home
guards" he answered Last year
North Dakota experienced very little
trouble or disturbance, less than the
veal previous and less than other
states had, so we do not expect trouble
next fall" he added.
AS to the program Of the Defense
society, he said, that is all bunk"
