NORTH DAKOTA
BONDS BACKED
By The Philadelphia Journal of
Commerce

The leading financial journal of
Philadelphia says:
A few years ago the state of
North Dakota, by due process of
law, started a movement whereby it
could be of special service to its
citizens. This service is the MAX
ing of loans to the farmers, and
about 80 per cent of the inhabitants
of the state are farmers, while 16
per cent of the people depend in
some form or other on agriculture
for their means of livelihood. While
North Dakota at the present time
produces Is per cent of all the hard
and spring wheat raised in this coun-
try, there is still plenty of room
for more farms. In fact, the un-
broken soil of the state could pro-
vide 100000 more farms of 100
acres each.
1t takes money to buy land, and
many farmers are not in finan-
cial position to buy land, live stock
and machinery for cash. They must
have loans or mortgages on their
property and it is here where the
state offers to provide the neces
sary help. North Dakota has au-
thorized the sale of bond issue of
$1,000, 900, and the interest on these
bonds is 81 per cent per annum
and the denominations are in 500
$500 and $1,000. The bonds date
from July /, this year and mature
in the years 1881, 1886, 1941 and
1946-1948.
From the standpoint of security
we know of few bond offerings
which can show a better and more
stable security than these North Da-
kota bonds. From our observation
and investigation the bonds have
behind them a security which is as
strong as the proverbal Rock of
Gibraltar, and in safety they COM
pare with U. S. Government bond
North Dakota is not only ia
nous as a great grain raising state
but it has also extensive coal areas
In fact, the Ignite coal deposits of
the state are said to be about six
hundred billion tons. Furthermore
there are extensive areas which con-
tain vast deposits of brick, tile
fire and potter's clay of high grade
quality. The farm lands of the state
have a present valuation of about
81 $50 100000. The farm improve
meuts and equipment amount to
about $400,OO0,000.
In view of resources such as we
have mentioned it is self-evident
and very clear to all who read these
lines that the bond issue of which
we have written is well fortified
and those who purchase the bonds
can rest assured that they receive
deal of which they can feel well
satisfied.

Strikebreakers
Made "Fine" Grew

New York, July 16.-According tC
cable dispatches from Italy, passen-
gers on the American steamer Po-
cahontas will long remember THEN
voyage from this city to Naples
The thrilling tale would have fit
ting climax if stated that the YES
sci was completely manned by
strikebreakers, recruited by the sea
service bureau of the United States
shipping board.
On leaving New York the strike
breakers in the engine room had
trouble with the machinery, and the
vessel was forced to put into Bos-
ton, where she collided with a pier
Starting across the Atlantic, she
drifted in mid-ocean for days in an
effort to repair the machinery, fl
nally landing at the Azores, where
the engines were patched up. Ma.
piles was reached after 43 days at
sea.
Gables from Italy state that the
crew was insubordinate and that the
engine room was half-filled with
water which caused the ship to list
bringing additional terror to the
passengers.
All the dining room spoons were
stolen, ashes were discovered in the
dynamo, the rudder was disabled
and fresh water spigots opened. Or
one occasion two port holes Were
opened and the inrushing water de,
stroyed large quantity of supplies
This portion of the ships daily
report indicates the trials of the of
ficers with this "free and indepen.
dent" crew:
June 14.-All the boiler pumps
stopped and all fires but one are
out. Water continues to flood the
engine room. Alfred B. Pablo placed
in irons for refusing to obey orders
and Louis Prewath, oiler, impris
oned for abandoning his post"
The ships record is a continu
Gus story of incapacity, insubordi
nation and destruction on the par
of the strikebreakers, but the ca
bles make no mention of the condi
tions under which the crew wa
shipped.

Light Rates Held Up
For Investigation

An order of suspension has been
issued by the Department of Pub
lie Works holding in allegiance the
proposed new schedule of light and
power rates filed in Olympia by
the Puget Sound International
Light & Power Co., to have become
effective July Is.
According to word received by
City Attorney R. j. Faussett from
the Department of Public Works
the order of suspension is issued
on the complaint filed by the City
of Everett, July II, challenging the
reasonableness of said proposed
rates and demanding a hearing.
The order prohibits the putting
into effect of the new schedule
OF tariff filed at Olympia on June
II for period of 80 days, dating
from July Is.
According to the Department of
Public Works the local company
filed changes in electrical service
rates for residences not located on
established circuits of the COM
pany, effective July Is. 1t is con-
templated by these changes to
change the former practice of the
company of making a charge for
residences not located on estab-
lished circuits of the company for
each pole which the company had
to furnish in supplying the service
Under the new rules, the company
will at its own cost extend it's dis
tribution system one span and will
furnish the first so feet of service
necessary to reach the customer. All
extensions to distribution system in
excess of one span, and all services
in excess of so feet shall be paid
for by the customer. News.

Your Executive Council gave Sc
rious consideration to the question
of sending a lobby to Olympia dur
ing the sessions of the last legisla-
ture. They recognized that there
was little hope of securing favor
able consideration of remedial leg
islation for labor. However, we
also recognized our duty to fight
against the injustices proposed and
to present and fight for the pro-
gram laid out for us by the last
Federation convention. We also
recognized that if no fight was
made the members Of the legisla
ture would welcome the opportun-
ity to defend themselves by say
ing: "We wouldn't have done it had
we known of labor's objection"
and as a reason for their failure to
pass remedial legislation could have
said; "If labor had asked for such
legislation we would gladly have
voted it, but nobody asked for any
thing"
1t is, we believe, the duty of the
Federation to fight against any in
justice that may be attempted at
any time against the workers of
our state and to fight for improve
ment at every opportunity. Foi
that reason we decided to send
President Short to Olympia as the
Federation's legislative agent, and
when the fight on the code necessi-
tated assistance we employed Broth
er Fred B. Norman of Raymond,
former chairman of the labor com
mittee in the house, to assist in
the work, the report follows
The most important enactment Of
the 1921 legislature affecting labor
was the passing of the civil ad-
ministrative code. The special ses-
sion Of the previous legislature in
March, 1920, had authorized the
governor to prepare a plan of con-
solidation of various state depart
ments along the lines of the Low
den plan" now in force in Illinois,
and present a bill ready for consid-
GRAFTON to the 1921 legislature. At
the special session it was stated
that the purpose of a consolidation
plan was to reduce taxes and appro-
priations and with the understand
ing that the interests of all the
people in the state were to be
fairly and justly considered in evolv-
ing such a plan.
Although a period of 10 months
elapsed between the special session
Of 1920, when work on the admin

| istrative code was commenced, and
! the regular session of 1921, the
governor kept his code secret and
entirely away from the public. Only
| a privileged few were taken into
his confidence and the people Of
the state and nearly all the mem-
bers of the legislature were in
absolute ignorance Of its provisions
when it was introduced in the house
on January 13, 1921. Many efforts
had been made previous to the con-
vening of the legislature by the
press and the representatives Of the
people affected by the code, includ-
ing representatives Of labor, to learn
something Of the provisions Of the
administrative code so that it could
be discussed by the people of the
state, but all questions were met by
a curt refusal Of any information
by the governor and his intimate
advisers. When the administrative
code was introduced in the house
every effort was made by the bosses
Of the legislature to rush the code
through as quickly as possible. No
public hearing was allowed while it
was in the house committees. 1t
came up for amendment IN the
house on January 20, and after one
minor amendment had been made
was advanced to third reading and
passed that same day. This was a
very unusual proceeding so early in
the session, but the house machine,
under the leadership of Boss Mark
Reed, was working efficiently al
though trifle clumsy, and steam
rollered every attempt to amend the
code in the interests of the people.
An attempt was made by Repre-
sentative J. II. Ryan to strike out
the unfair provisions of the code
affecting labor, but his motion was
voted down with only two or three
voting in favor Of it. On final
passage in the house the vote on
the code was 50 for. against.
The five who voted against were
Representatives J. H. Ryan and
David Lewis of Pierce, L. L. Miller
Of Spokane, Adam Beeler and Rob-
ert Triple of King
When the code went over to the
senate a determined effort was made
by your representatives to get
public hearing. When it was re-
ported out by the senate committee
Senators Ryan and O'Harra, as
sisted by johnson and Conan, were
able to get through a motion to

he included in his appointments
"crooks and libertines." That was

In answer to request for an
opinion by Mrs. Josephine Corliss
Preston on the new law governing
school elections, Superintendent w
F. Martin received the following re-
ply:
"The new law only applies," says
Mrs. Preston, "where there is port
district and school district of the
first class within the port district
AS the Everett school district is of
first class within a port district
the law would prevent school elec-
tions being called at times other
than the first Saturday in Decem'
ber."
The law does not apply to class
A counties or to counties of the
first class.
"The act seems to affect Everett
although it has no effect on special
bond elections or elections for the
recall of district officers. 1t has
no effect on the other county dis
tricts. The time of holding their
elections was not affected by any
law passed by the 1921 legisla.
ture."

Last Sunday evening Walter Mill
er drove to Wauseon and tied his
horse in front of the Stotzer Harness
Shop.
Later on when he was ready to
drive home the horse and buggy had
disappeared. Miller Immediately no.
titled Sheriff Ford who made a
search that resulted in finding the
horse and buggy in the possession
of Clifford Tressler, II, several miles
east of Wauseon.
The outfit was returned to it's
rightful owner and Clifford was
taken in custody by Sheriff Ford who
handed him over to Juvenile Court
officer C. A. Cole Tressler claims
that he had no intention of stealing
the horse, but that he had just
borrowed it to take his girl home.
However there is no evidence to
indicate that Tressler took the trou-
BILE to ask the owner whether he
could take it or not.

HARDING SAYS SAVING

Safe investments.

Columbus, o. -(Special.)- Presi-

the officials of the Savings Division
of the United Staets Treasury De-
partment here for an expression on
saving. The president replied as fol-
lows:
You have asked me for an express
sion regarding the subject of saving
money.
81 have for many years been pretty
well convinced that saving money is
largely matter of habit, and people
who make a good beginning at it
presently discover that it is by no
means impossible and it is altogether
a good thing to do. Just at this juno
ture in the worlds and our country's
affairs it is certainly one OF the most
useful contributions that people
could possibly make to putting the
world right l do not believe there
is any other way to straighten out
the tangle of financial and economic
concerns into which the world has
been precipitated by the war, except
to produce a good deal more than
we consume, which means, to save
and by our savings to re-establisf
the worlds stores of working capital
q have no more earnest hope thai
that the public may take this lessor
to heart .and learn to save as, II
viaw Cf our great national good for
tuna they could be able to d."

new LAWS FOR
PROTECTION
OF CHILDREN

Judge A. M. Barber of the Juve-
nile Court is very happy over the
following new laws which will soon
become operative:
The first law, which has received
the active and hearty support of the
Rotary Clubs of the State, is calcu-
lated to benefit crippled children and
provides that Judges of the Juvenile
Court shall be authorized to make
dependent crippled children wards
of the court, then place such children
in the custody of the State Board of
Charities, which will in turn place
such children in one of the State
hospitals now being provided for
this purpose, where they will receive
treatment up to one year, following
the course of treatment the children
are to be returned to their parents
The expense incurred will be billed
to the County Commissioners of the
County from which the child is re-
ceived
The second law provides that in
the case of the adoption of a child,
| parties desiring to adopt child must
have had the child in their home at
/ least six months prior to adop-
tion and that investigation must then
be made by an agent of the Court
If the report of such. investigation
is satisfactory adoption may follow
