Minnesotan Declares This
Pressing Need
ADDRESS AT CINCINNATI
Reduction Freight Rates On
Their Products Also
Nedessity
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch

Cincinnati, November 29.-Adoption
of the banking machinery Of the coun-
try to the credit requirements OF the
farmed and reduction Of freight rates
on farm products were advocated as
the most pressing needs II the asr-
cultural industry In an address here
today by Representative Sidney AM
derson, Minnesota chairman of the
joint COMPRESSION commissin of agr-
cultural inquiry before the fifth annual
meeting of the National Milk Produ-
GERS Federation.
Pointing to the farmers need for
credit OF maturity corresponding TO
his turnover and his ability to pay,
Representative Anderson said he IA
vored permitting all existing financial
institutions dealing directly with the
public, including national and state
perids of three months to six years.
Need Lower Freight Rates
They should be able, he added, to
rediscount the paper with the federal
land banks of act as the direct agents
OF those banks in making the loans,
the form notes then to be used as a
basis for issuance of short time de-
bentures by the land banks. In turn,
the federal reserve, he said, should be
used to buy and sell these debentures
and also to rediscount for the land
banks, within six months maturity,
other farm paper.
The farmer not only needs an i'm
mediate downward revision OF trans
portation rates on his products, Rep
rese1tative Anderson said, but also
material reduction in other elements
of the spread between the producers
and consumers prices, which, he stat,
ed, constituted half the latter price.
The problem of distribution costs, he
added, could not be solved by the
farmer alone but acquired the COOP
Grafton and understanding OF all VINO
enter as factors in distribution. Dew
elopment of sound cooperative methods
by farmers, however, he believed,
could contribute much to the solution.

cational system. Compared with the

What we do want to do, Is to find
where we can make improvements

100 cents in value for each dollar OF
the millions spent for education
whether it be in rural schools, city
schools or at the University Of Min
nesota."

er of education, and S. A. Challman

tribution of state aid to the schools
Of the state.

Fargo Police Lady
Called to Account
She Was Not Permitted To
Dump Charge On Redwood
County

Redwood Falls, November 29.-Ii
was police woman of Fargo, N. d.
by the name OF Mrs. f. G. Bliss, ac-
companied a man by the name of vii.
liam Gjerke whom she said was Q
Redwood county citizen, came to Red
wood Falls and went to the court
house and tried to dump said man on
the county, claiming he was a paupel
and had drifted into Fargo from Mini
neSota. -
County Auditor L. p. Larson called
UP H. M. Aune, chairman of the board
OF county commissioners, and they
investigated the matter. Mr.. Aune
asked The woman what authority she
had for trying to dump on this county,
She said he formerly lived in this
state and had distant relatives in
Swedes Forest, Redwood county. Mr..
A1lne told her she would have TO
prove that the fellow was Redwood
county charge, and she came back
at him saying that she didn't have to
but that the Redwood county author
tiles would have to prove that the fell
low was not Redwood county charge.
This was something new to Mr..
Aune so he neld the woman subpoen-
du as d WlLuCSS anu lie Case was Udh
en- before Judge A. r. A. Lauden. The
fact came out at the hearing that
Gjerke was born in Fargo and had re-
sided there and that is his home.
To make sure that the woman would
not get out of the county without her
charge, Mr.. Aune had warrant sworn
out by Judge G. F. Martin for the wo-
man. 1t is a criminal offense for one
state to dump their paupers on an
other state.
The warrant was placed in the
hands of Deputy Sheriff Harry Beatty
who saw to it that the woman did
not get out of the county for North
Dakota without her pauper friend
with her. The man was about IS
years of age and is somewhat feeble
minded.
After giving check for her bill at
the Ramsey hotel the police woman
left Saturday with her charge for the
head of Townleyism in the Flicker
tail" state.

tact with the feminine official says
she seemed to be hard boiled,
