ORLANDO, Fla, Nov. 3.-The cas- ualty- list at Ocoee, 12 miles from here. where two whites were shot to death and one negro lynched yester- day in an election riot and several other negroes perished when buildings in which they sought shelter were burned. had not reached here tonight. Armed whites were reported patroll- ing the region and closing in on ne- groes who fled to the woods.
 Burn Negro Buildings
 More than 20 buildings in the ne- gro settlement were burned. Reports from Ocoee tonight said that explosion of considerable amounts of ammuni- tion occurred as the flames swept the buildings and that numerous firearms were found in the ruins. Some re- ports said five negroes died in the flames. One negro woman was among these, it was said.
 The battle was precipitated by the attempt of Julian Perry, negro. to vote after he had been refused the privilege by election judges on the ground that he had not paid his poll tax. He returned later armed with a shotgun but it was taken from him and he was driven away.

s1SOMEBODY LIED"

"Twelve million dollars saved on
grades in 1919 crop, (estimate made
By Ladd)." This statement is pub
llshed as fact in the "claims" col
umn of the Townleyized press. Also
''$7,00O.0O0 saved in 1919 crop on dock
age claimed by Ladd." Farmers are
expected to swallow both statements.
Examine Claims.
Let us examine these "claims."
If the rest Of the Townley gangs
-'claims of savings" are as truthful as
these, and we take it for granted they
are, then the gangs nerve in trading
on the farmers gullibility has reached
q new high water mark. The 1919 crop
was about 55,OOO,OO0 to 6O,O0O.OOO
bushels. The claims of savings total 10
million dollars. Nineteen million dol
lars on fifty seven million bushels
amounts to 331s cents bushel. Two
lines of market stations line the Red
river, one on the North Dakota side
and one on the Minnesota side, Wah-

If the North Dakota markets men
toned paid 331a cents more bushel
for wheat, why did they not get the
Minnesota wheat which was adjacent
and common territory? Why did farm
ers such as Mr.. Nesvig of Fargo and
many others all along the line haul
their wheat to Minnesota where they

GRADING AND DOCkAGE

handling the crop, the principle that
man should get what his grain is
worth, whether it is fit for bread or
for feed or for both is sound and will
in due time be worked out. In some
states the tanning mill and feed grin
der on the farm has practically elimi-
mated the problem.
Grading and Dockaoe-Neither State
Nor Partisan Problems.
Neither grading nor dockage are par
tisan problems. They are everybody's
problem in this state. In the long run
neither buyer nor seller can he souged
or cheated in this matter, and an hon
est and practical method Of establish
ing grades and disposing Of foreign
matter or partially damaged grain 10
Of equal importance and value to both
parties concerned. A just and correct
solution can be found only through
honest and persistent study OF the
problems involved, not by false
charges and lying claims put forth for
selfish political purposes.
It is sheer folly to talk or think
that any law or set of laws that we
in North Dakota can enact with refer
ence to the grading of grain can be OF
any material value to the farmers OF
the state. Every bit Of North Dako-
ta's wheat and -four except what little
is needed for food at home is sold and
must be sold in other states and coun-
tries, and in competition with the
grain and grain products produced in
other states and countries. We can
not Increase the value Of North Da-
kota wheat or compare it with the
value of other wheat in the public
market by designating some new
grades or grading standards or making
some rules about how to handle dock
age.
The problem of grain grading 80 far
as North Dakota is concerned is an
interstate one. Therefore legislation,
so far as it can be made use of in
solving 1t. must be enacted by con-
gress.
The Hope pioneer., 1920-06-24
Honest Grades Wanted.

There is hardly man in North
Dakota outside of the insane asylum
who does not desire and believe in q
just and correct standard of grades,
Just as we'll as he believes in sound
money and honest weights. The great
difficulty is how to find a standard
method of grading that will enable
seller and buyer of grain to grade fair
ly the varying crops from year to year.
One year large plump wheat, the next
year kernels shriveled by drought or
rust. Even in the same year the DIFF
ferent zones of the state frequently
demand different grading methods.
Present System Faulty.
The present state grading system,
which on account Of the litigation as
to whether any one state can demand
that it's grades be recognized by the
general expert market is suspended by
the federal courts. probably tempo
rarily. is very far from perfect. Equal
quantities of three certain lots Of
wheat grading respectively No. 1. No.
. and No. 3, if mixed will all grade
No. /. Were the grades perfect, this
could not he done. To find the bread
value and feed value of varying
crop will require the careful expert
eace Of many years to come.
The present rules on dockage have
not produced the great money gains
for the individual farmer, or farmers
in general, that is claimed, as every
farmer who raises wheat knows. Much

legislature in 1919, should referred to

Independent Voters association to in
augurate that referendum election. A
special campaign fund was solicited
among the supporters Of that move

than $4O,OOO.OO.
Self Sustaining Campaign.
AS soon as the harvest season was
over in the fall Of 1919, an active
campaign against Townleyism was in
augurated. Speakers, tieldmen and
literature were sent into county after
county to call the people to arms, as
it were. against this political dragon
that had fastened itself upon our
backs. The expenses of this cam
paignins were cared for by the men,
bership fees that, were collected as
the campaign moved on and on into
territory where people were being
aroused out Of their political lethargy.
Special Campaign Now.
For the purpose of defraying the
expenses of the special campaign In
which the Independent Voters asso-
citation is now engaged, special CAM
paign fund is being raised by asking
the anti-T0wnleyites i'll each county
to chip in according to their financial
ability and desire to help.

Thousands Of voters. the majority
of them farmers, have contributed to-
