PLANTERS FIGHT
 COTTON EMBARGO
RESOLUTIONS DECLARE COV- ERNMENT IS AIDING MOVE TO FORCE PRICES DOWN. TEXAS GROWERS TO FIGHT.

Dallas, Texas, April Supple menting resolutions adopted by the Texas Cotton Conference declaring that the secretary of agriculture of the United States has assisted in forcing down the price of cotton, and that the control of movement and marketing of cotton by Bernard Baruch was antagonistic to the in- terests of the cotton growers, N. A. Shaw, chairman of the conference, announced today that a movement had begun to organize southern cot ton growers to force the removal of the cotton embargo.
 "The situation is that the whole world is organized against cotton," said Mir. Shaw, "and our own gov ernment is giving aid and encourage ment to those who are trying to force down prices. The farmers be- lieve that cotton has not had fair deal and that the reason they have not had fair deal is that cotton is grown in Texas and other southern states rather than in Ohio, Iowa or Connecticut.
 ''FOr the first time since the war between the states conference composed of more than 400 farmers who have been unanimously voting the democratic ticket all their lives have met and almost unanimously ex- pressed their great dissatisfaction with the way things are being run in Washington as far as they relate to their own interests and industry.
 "The conference was attended by delegates from every part of the state from the Red river to Medina county and from the Panhandle to the gulf"
 The cotton conference was con vention of cotton producers of Tex as sent out during the last legisla- | ture by conference of farmers com posed mainly of farmer members of | the legislature.

A number of patriotic meetings
were held in the county last night. At
Wimbledon there was rousing meet
ing attended by large congregation
and much pep was put into the pro-
gram. Prof. R. L. Brown was the
speaker of the evening and gave a
splendid talk. Mrs. F. E. Ployhar was
the Red Cross speaker and put over
that part of the program in an earnest
and to the point manner. Miss Perry
was the patriotic reader and of course
pleased the audience very much. The
Wimbledon meeting was great sue
cess in every particular. We almost
forgot to mention that Lieut.. A. B.
Hemp, was the soldier speaker and
gave splendid talk on his exper-
fences.
At Oriska the people turned out in
good shape and the result was sue
cess. E, C. Hilborn was the principal
speaker of the evening and in his
earnest and convincing manner put
forth the claims of the government
for the support of the coming Victory
Loan and the need of our people
standing back of the government at
this time. Mrs. j. E. Featherstone
spoke on the. Red Cross work and
those Of our people who have had the
pleasure Of listening to her at other
times realize that she gave the Oriska
people some good matter on this sub
ject. Miss Dorothy Jagd was the pa
triotic speaker of the evening and
very much pleased the audience by her
renditions. Sergeant Melvin Peter
son was the soldier boy who spoke on
his experiences over there. The SER
geant had been in much of the heavy
fighting over there and his talk GER
tainly could be taken seriously be-
cause he knew just what he went
through and what the other boys who
were fighting for freedom went
through. The meeting was good one
and we believe helped along the
cause.
Last evening another of the en-
thusiastic Victory Loan meetings was
held at Sanborn. The meeting was
presided over by Louis Malm, and
several Valley City people took part
in the entertainment. Rev. j. S. Wilds
of the Epworth M. E. church spoke on
the Victory Loan, and gave very fine
address. Mrs. Fred Heidel represent
ed the Red Cross, and also made an
excellent speech. Miss Marian john
son of the city schools, appeared as
elocutionist and reader, and Sergeant
Jaberg, recently returned from over
seas, talked Of his experiences in the
late war. and gave very strong au-
peal to the people of Sanborn to sus-
tain the Victory Loan for the sake of
the boys. The meeting was most
enjoyable affair, and was intersperced
with a number Of the up-to-date pa
triotic songs.

MORE PATRIOTIC
MEETINGS HELD

There was rousing patrioticSmeet-
ing held at Leal Saturday evening
and large turnout. Leal is one of
those towns in the county where they
do things right and last Saturday was
no exception to the general rule. Prof.
R. l.. Brown was the main speaker of
the evening, putting up the points in
favor of supporting and getting be-
hind the Victory Loan Drive. Mr..
Brown made an earnest plea to buy
bonds literally. Miss Noltimier spoke
in behalf of the Red Cross, Miss Nc
Guigan was the reader and E. Wicks
was the soldier boy who spoke of his
experiences along these lines. The
meeting at Leal was a good one and
much pep and enthusiasm abounded.
At Nome another enthusiastic pa
triotic meeting was held Saturday.
Prof. Kosmoe, of Wimbledon, very
ably presented the Victory Loan part
of the meeting, urging those present
to invest literally in the new bond
issue in. order to give Uncle Sam a
chance to finish the job right. Mrs.
j. H. Seymour spoke on the Red
Cross end of the problem, Lieut.. A. B.
Hemp represented the soldier boys
and told his experiences and urged
the support of this loan drive and
Miss Stowell greatly pleased the audi
ence by her readings. Nome showed
it's appreciation of the workers by
turning out in force and much inter-
est and enthusiasm was manifested at
this point. The people everywhere in
the county are getting behind the
movement in good shape.

0FFICIATSEAT
AND SLEEP WELL

"One reason why North Dakota has
no money in the treasury today while
$3.50 900 in overdue bills remain un-
paid is found in some vouchers which
| have selected at random from the
many to whose payment have OBJ
jected as member of the auditing
board during the last two years." said
State Auditor Carl Kositzky today.
voucher No. 191 $40, for instance,
is for 'hotel room and services, six
days, $751;, and Meals, 1890 The
total cost of this officials six days
sojourn in Minneapolis was $449O,
and Of this amount $31 was for hotel
room and service The nature of the
service is not disclosed.
"Voucher 194,277 covers another
jaunt to Minneapolis, for one day only,
and it calls for $12l4 for room and
S2.S5 for meals. The state, in addi-
ton to paying $1214 for room for
one nights sleep for this official, of
course paid his railway fare, sleeper
charge and meals on the diner enroute
to and from the city.
"Voucher 17S,S46 is also for a days
visit in Minneapolis, $7.55 for room
and $l.5O for meals, total of $9.O5.
81 need not ask how many of our
farmers who are digging deeper and
deeper into their pockets each year to
pay the cost of state government
blow $1499 for one days board and
lodging in the Twin Cities.
"Voucher 196.707 is for $65.4O, COW
ering the cost of transportating an
automobile which was driven from
Minneapolis to Bismarck under it's
own power. The state doesn't own
this auto, and in auditing board meet
ing | objected to the size of this bill
and had it cut down. The fact got to
ToWnley's ears in some way, and tie
next time he was in town he came in
and jumped me for it.
"'Leave these little things alone
and go after the big things was his
advice to me. | am taking that adj
vice in going after the board of i'm
migration bill which would take $780,
600 out of an already barren treasury
for propaganda purposes; and after
the printing bill, which for the benefit
of a privileged few would double the
amount the state pays for printing by
requiring the publication of scores of
worthless reports in which no one is
interested; and after the board of adj
ministration bill which places the
management of our great institutions
in the hands of few politicians, and
after the judicial redistricting bill
which increases our expenses SIS, 900

ton"

TO NUMBER

Scores of inquiries are coming into
the state licensing department Office
as to whether or not any limit may be
placed upon the number of pool halls,
taxi cab stands, ;theaters, bowling
alleys, garages, ETC., which may be To-
Gated in a town. The people inter-
ested seem to believe that the number
of such establishments is based upon
population. This is a mistake. There
are no limitations whatsoever as to
the number of businesses of various
character, which may be established
In an opinion which has been hand
ed down by the attorney generals Of
flee, reference is made to section
three of the act establishing the state
licensing department., in which it is
set forth that the state inspector shall
satisfy himself as to the fitness and
the suitability of the place desired to
be licensed. Within the limit Of that
delegation of power, his authority is
within his own discretion and the pre-
valllng rule is that the right of an Of
fetal to require license for conduct
ing business of that character re
poses in that authority discretion to
grant or refuse license depending
upon the fitness and qualifications Of
good faith of the applicant, and also
upon the fintess and qualifications of
the place to be operated. There is
nothing in the law which would indi-
cate that the attorney general was in
intended by the legislature to have the
power to refuse licensing, depending
upon the population of the community.
The state licensing department re-
ports that many owners Of pool rooms
bowling alleys, soda water fountains,
public dance halls and taxi cab SER
vices, have as yet failed to send in
their applications for license for the
period from March 1st to July 1st.
Application blanks will be furnished
upon request or letter mailed to State
Inspector Earle H. Tostevin, state lie
ensing department.
