Fort Yates Tomorrow to
Form Organization

The first Indian chapter of the
American War mothers will be organ
ized at Standing Rock Indian reser-
vation tomorrow. A delegation of

ing on Friday. Major Welch, Of

the Indians, will be present and aid
the local women.
When Mrs. Alice French, national
war mother, was in Bismarck she
spoke of the efforts to organize the
mothers of alien soldiers, and also
expressed a desire to have chapter
of the first Americans. There were
11S Indian boys from the Standing
Rock and Ft Yates district in the
war, and many made splendid rec
ords.
The fact that the Indian fair is to
be held Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday makes the time propitious for
the organization of the chapter
Two cars, furnished by Mrs. AL
fred Zuger and Chris Bertsch, Jr.,
of the Bismarck Motor company, are
available for the trip.

SAYS FARMERS
ARE ROBBED / BY
WHEAT PRICES
]. A. McGover4 Says Future
Delivery Prize Governs
Price Paid FIR Wheat
URGES HOLDING OF GRAIN
Only Way to Beat the Method
Is for Farmers to Keep Wheat
From Market, He Says

Charges that the farmers of the:
state are being robbed of millions
of dollars on this years wheat crop
are made by j. A. McGovern, chief
deputy grain inspector of the state.
McGovern's claim is that price
cards are being furnished to eleva-
tors from Minneapolis based on De-
cember quotations rather than the
cash price. He says that heretofore
the quotations have been based OH
the cash market.
McGOvern's statement says that the
state mill at Drake bases it's quota
tions on Minneapolis prices, being
governed by the cash prices at that
grain market. .e.r..
Farmers are urged by McGovcrn to
hold their grain. ia. .....
when the farmer sells his wheat
he thinks he sells it for the cash
market on the day, but such is not
the case now" said Mr.. McGovern
'The North Dakota farmer that sells
his wheat today is selling it for q
price that the spectators have de.
cided. the DeceMbes saxtior is to- be
and that is a big difference.
For instance, today the quota.
tion on December wheat, according
to telegraphic reports from Minneap'
oils was 1925 per bushel, at the op
ening of the market and $2.29 at the
close. The millers and other buy.
ers of wheat who purchases whea,
for cash in Minneapolis on the track
and in the chamber paid from $24:
to $2.4S per bushel. That's what No
l northern wheat was actually worth
at the terminal market today and the
price that shippers of wheat receiv
ed who delivered wheat there today
and which should be the basis of the
prices paid by local elevators 70,
wheat today
Instead of that the price paid fol
the grain in this state today is based
on what December wheat was quoted
at in Minneapolis, 1925 per bushel
This is % cents per bushel less than
the cash market price today. No
one can deny but that the farmer who
sold wheat today was entitled tC
the cash price quoted in Minneapolis
less the freight, commission and ex.
pense of the local elevator. In.
stead of that he received a price
based on what the spectators guess
ed that wheat will be worth in De-
cember."

PUBLICITY FOR
INCOME FIGURES
HOUSE PROPOSAL

Washington, D. c., Aug. 25.-There
continues demand among more rad
ical members of the lower house for
changes in the income tax laws. Talk
among the occasional anti-cOncentra
tion of wealth representatives here
during vacation takes two principal
forms:
1. A demand that the law be
amended so that individual incomes
and the income taxes paid, be made
public The radicals contend publ
city will be wholesome in it's effect
with respect to great accretions of
wealth.
2. A proposal that the internal rev.
enue bureau exchange information
with local taxing bodies, the idea be-
ing that assessors will thus have
more adequate data on which to base
assessments for local taxation.
Both proposals are being urged in
certain quarters, but other quarters
are likely to fight them off vigorously.

Hear Counsel on Point
Today
FIRST ATTEMPT FAILED

Washington, Aug. 25.4-Application
for an injunction to restrain Secre-
tary Colby of the state department
from promulgating ratification of the
federal suffrage amendment was filed
in the district supreme court today
by counsel for the American Consti-
tutional league. Associated Justice
Siddons required that authority for
such procedure be stated and agreed
to hear counsel on the point during
the day.
Second Attempt
This was the second attempt by
the league to obtain from the dis
trict court an injunction restraining
Mr.. Colby from proclaiming the ratifi
cation. The first effort was made last
March. Justice Bailey, in dismissing
the proceedings held that the court
was without authority to inquire into
the action of the state legislatures
in ratifying the suffrage amendment:
and that it had no authority to pass
upon the validity of such an amend
ment.
An appeal to the supreme court
of the United States was noted by
counsel for the league.
