STATE TO PAY
$4,000 FOR ITS
CHICAGO OFFICE
First Payment in Bond Cam
paign Will BE Made Dur
ing Week

The state this week will pay out
approximately $4,000 for the use OF
George Webb, representative of the
Bank of North Dakota, in advertis-
ing the sale of state bonds in the
central west and the east. The
voucher for the money, to be paid
from the Industrial Commission
funds, was approved by the majority
OF the state board Of audits. Webb
is stationed at the Chicago office Of
the Bank Of North Dakota.
A total of $S,2G5.45 has been paid
out of the Industrial Commission
funds to date for advertising in news
papers in the state Of North Dakota,
which started during the session OF
the legislature. John Steen, state
treasurer and member Of the auditing
board, refused to give approval to the
bills on the ground that 1t was inn
proper and probably illegal to use
state funds raised from taxation for
such advertising. OF the amount paid
out $6,4S29S went to the Publishers
National Service Bureau, the bureau
of Nonpartisan league newspapers,
through which the Nonpartisan papers
received pay for the advertising. An
advertising agency in St. Paul receiv-
ed $l,782.47, presumably for advertis-
ing in independent papers.

London, April 20.-The Daily Tele-

ing Of Mr.. LloydGeorge and M. BRAND
says the premiers may be able to find
time to exchange views on other topics
one Of which is the unfortunate mis-
understanding regarding Yap.
"The supreme council will have to
find way out that will satisfy Amer
ica's mapdatory," continues the paper.
"The Japanese naturally think that
the supreme council ought to stand
by its own decision but they have no
inducements to drift into serious
quarrel with the United States over
this fragment. ~ u
France, with no direct interest in
the matter, and in strong sympathy
with Presldent-Harding's attack on the
League Of Nations, will throw her
strength on the side Of the WesArn
Republic. We shall probably use our
influence with Japan and satisfac-
tory solution may be expected"
The paper further disclaims any
British desire. to use the Mesopotamia
mandate to the detriment of the Unit
ed States.

Year

Washington, April 20 Farmers
from all parts of the United States
meeting here today under the auspices
Of the National Union decided to take
their fight for a reduction in freight
rates direct to President Harding.
This decision was reached after the
spokesmcn for the farmers had con-
ferred with members of the Interstate
Commerce Commiss on to urge lower
rates. The delegates apparently were
dissatisfied with the outcome OF this
conference.

to discuss a voluntary 'readjustment
to restore commerce to its acClls-
toned channel and give impetus to
business and agriculture.
Such suggestion was put forward
at the conference with the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
BEFORE COMMISSION.
Washington, April 20.-Immediate
freight rate reductions were urged to-
day by representatives of the National
Farmers Union at an informal hear
ing before the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Members of the union from many
states were present headed by Ma
tional Secretary Davis. They told the
commission that besides reducing the
loss now sustained by the farmers in
the sale of their crops lowering Of
freight rates would be big psyche.
logical factor in starting the market
ing of farm products and genera

Says Roads Lost $S,OOO, 900.
Unable to market their own prod |
ucts the farmers, the spokesman said
are virtually on a buyers strike as
there is no prospect of conditions i'm.
proving in time to bring better prices
for next years crop. Members OF
the commission asked for SUGGESTIONS
that would make possible a reduction
of freight rates in the face of higr
prices paid by railroads for equipment
and labor. Commissioner McChord de- |
clarcd railways had lost about $S,OOO.. |
600 in operation during the past year
and asked whether the solution of the
present freight rate problem was no.
after all one for labor, capital, ship !
pers and the steel industry to solve |
rather than the commission.
Rail Costs High.
Money. labor and equipment are all
high he said.
Mr.. McChord asked Secretary Davis |
with cheap freight rates, far.
mers could market their products at Il
profit
"Possibly not" Mr.. Davis replied |
But freight rate reduction would be !
one factor and would be foolish to re
ject any plan that would reduce the
farmers loss simply because it does
not solve their whole problem"
Mr.. Davis added that if decreases in
freight rates would not increase the
volume of business to the railways
to make profit for them
the farmers would rather pay the rail-
way deficit in the form Of taxes than
)ear the entire burden of high rates
Is at present.
