YOUNG SAVES

Congressman Demonstrates the
Power in Washington and
Acts in Interest of Economy

Congressman George M. Young, can
didate for reelection on the Victory
ticket. demonstrated his power at
Washington in aiding Bismarck to
retain the government land office, it
became known today.
Plans had been made to close the
Bismarck office and transfer its rec
ords elsewhere. Several Bismarck
men asked Congressman Young to pre-
vent this.
"Show me real reason for retain.
ing the office" he said. The answer
was a complete report on the situa-
ton. With this information at hand
and with his own knowledge of the
state and a private investigation. Mr..
Young laid the case before the com.
missioner-general of lands in Wash.
ington and the office was not closed.
1t was shown that to transfer the
business of the Bismarck office to
another city would mean added ex.
pense. The fact that the office is
located in the state capital where
there are records which must be re-
ferred to constantly, the fact that
many homesteaders would make farm
loans out of state school and other
funds here( and the geographical loca.
tion of the office make it more eco.
nomical and more efficient to maintain
the local office than to move it else
where, it was shown.
1t was due to Congressman Young
