MORE INFORMATION ON COST
OF PRODUCTION.

By r. C. Dynes, County Agent.
The average consumer or small
land owner in the east is thoroughly
convinced that the farmer who owns
from three hundred and twenty to a
thousand acres of land in the west is
practically a millionaire and that
when he gets $3.50 per bushel for
his wheat he is getting price that
returns him huge profit above cost
Of production. The reason for such
misinformation is the fact that the
wheat farmers until very recently
have been given little publicity as to
the facts in the case, largely because
little information was obtainable in
the form Of actual records on costs
Of production. Y

DRAKE MILL LOSSES.

The Townley press has always
maintained that the Drake State Mill
was making money" The fool pub
lie inferred "for the public" Now
it is learned that the dear, public was
mistaken as to whom the mill was
making money for.
Rumors that the Drake mill has
been losing money are co&frmed. It
has lost from $4,000 to $4,000, and
apparently it is being used as a me-
dunn through which the Bank of
North Dakota finances Mr.. Lemke's
Consumers Stores. The stores have
had flour worth $4,000 "on con-
signment" to be paid for when sold,
and the mill has borrowed $211 900
from the Bank of North Dakota. In
other1 words, the state mill borrows
money and pays interest on it to the
state bank, in order to provide Mr..
Lemke's stores with stock of flour,
on which the state guarantees the
stores against a loss, for. the stores
remit when the flour is sold at the
going price. Rather a nice arrange
ment for the stores, but it may ex-
plain why the mill has lost money

With representatives Of various
manufacturing interests steadfastly
appealing for a high tariff rate on
manufactured products it is but natu-
raj that members Of the Ways and
Means Committee, which is prepar-
ing the new tariff bill, who are re-
presenting agricultural states should
be inclined to turn deaf ear to Pc
titions from the same interests re-
questing that hides and other raw
products be placed upon. the free
list. ~
Congressman George M. Young,
member of the committee, main
tains that everything which leaves
the farm is the farmers finished
product and is therefore entitled to
the tariff protection of the finished
products of other industries.
This view was rather pointedly
set forth in a recent letter written
by Mr.. Young to the Western AS
sociation, of Shoe Wholesalers, Chi
cago, in answer~to an appeal for free
hides in the interests of the consul
mers Of footwear" Mr.. Young said:
"Your letter of February 1st is at
hand, in which you strongly protest
against duty on hides, which you
declare will be detrimental to the
entire leather and shoe industry as
well as to the consumers of footwear.
Just why you express tenderness
for those who use footwear, in view
of the prices you have been charging
is beyond my comprehension.
1t will be recalled too that a few
years ago your people asked to have
free hides in the interest of cheaper
shoes, but after having been given
free hides the prices of shoes went
up.
1t would seem to me it is pretty
nearly time for you people to be
thinking of somebody excepting
yourselves. Where do you expect
the farmer to get off at, selling his
products in open competition with
the world and paying tariff tribute
on practically everything that comes
to his farm" =

Do NOT RECALL.

just now there is a strong senti-
ment among the people of the state
Ito recall Governor Frazier, Attorney
General Lemke and others on ac-
count Of their attitude towards the
management Of the state industries.
1t is a well known fact that the f.
nances Of the state are in deplor-
able condition and there seems to be
no effort made to remedy things.
Wiser heads who realize that some
thing must be done to relieve the A.,
nancial strain have rendered their
advise but the governor and attor-
ney-general insist on carrying out
their program which has 50 far pro-
we'd total failure.
Even Mr.. Townley, it is said, has
taken issues With them to change
their methods regarding the Bank of
North Dakota that is hopelessly out
of business as far as continuing to
pay its obligations as they are being
presented for payment.
The Pioneer Express believes that
the head of the Nonpartisan League
should be allowed to go IA until they
wind themselves up, which does not
seem to be far distant. There is
enough money coming into the Bank
Of North Dakota to pay the officials
their salaries for the next two years
If they refuse to pay anything else
as they are doing now. This money
that is coming in is interest on loans
chat have been made up to this time.
But we do not believe they will be
able to carry on the business of the
state for two years longer. In that
event they either have to relinquish
their Offices or call in men of ability,
who can handle the problem for
them.
If the governor and Mr.. Lemke in
sist on their ruinous course and
schools and other public institutions
have to close their doors for want of
the funds tied up in the State Bank
OF North Dakota something will have
to be done to bring about a change.
If a recall and new election should
be petitioned for the present admin,
istration will be defeated by a much
larger majority than did the laws
passed by the same outfit and was
voted on at the primaries and the
general election. The people are
getting tired of these visionary pro-
misses that are constantly bringing
the state into ruin and disgrace.
1ater.-Since writing the above
editorial the Observation-Disclosures
Bank of Fargo, which has, been used
to dump all sorts of questionable Sc
curities of the Nonpartisan League
organizations into, has closed it's
doors and it is said that the Bank of
North Dakota is about to retire from
the regular banking business and
only handle farm loans.
The day of retribution seems to be
coming faster than we thought of in
the previous article. Let it come
for the only way out of it seems to
be general housekeeping, for the
whole thing is a mess that must be
cleared>~ up before we will get down
to sound basis again.
