DALE FARMERS ORGANIZATION

The Record is informed that a meet
ing of some seventy farmers of the
Dale neighborhood was held recently,
which elected the: following officers:
F. W. Welker, chairman; o. l..
Bales, secretary; ed. McConville,
treasurer. Their. efforts are nom
political, and they are asking for a
fairer price'>for. farm products. To
that end, they petition congress to
place minimum and maximum
price on wheat. The resolutions are
as follows:
We, the farmers of Dale, N. D., are
not satisfied with the price of wheat
now prevailing, and appeal to the
Congress Of the United States to
guarantee us price of not less than
$3.50 in Chicago, ILL.,, and not more
than $3.50 in Chicago, ILL.,, for the
wheat crop of the season of 1921. All
we ask for, is justice to the farmers.
Owing to the high cost of labor and
machinery, we have decided to reduce
our wheat acreage, and believe if this
petition is not granted and made sat
isfactory to the farmers, that the
acreage will be reduced from one
fourth to one third throughout the
United States. There will then be
no wheat to export. This is the gen.
eral decision of all the farmers in
this community: ~
Whereas, The condition of the far
mers being in deplorable state on
account of the low prices of farm pro-
ducts; and,
Whereas, We, the undersigned far
mers, do hereby petition Congress for
relief;
Resolved, That we petition Con-
gress that the government guarantee
minimum price Of $3.50 and max
imum price Of $3.50 per bushel in
Chicago, for the wheat crops of 1921 !.

Washington, May 10. -
Opposition to a general sales
tax law developed today at
a hearing before the senate
finance committee. At pre-
vious sessions only argu-
ments in support of the plan
had been given.
The strongest opposition to
a levy on gross sales was
offered by r. G.. Elliott, of
Chicago, representing the
National Association Of
Credit Men.
It's application to government
regulated industries also was at
tackled by p. p. Gadsden of Phil
adelphia. who spoke for the Ma
tional Electric Light association.
the American Gas association, and
the American Electric Railway as
ISOLATION.
Mr.. Elliott declared the tax
would require a new tax collection
machine and would be difficult of
definition.
Mr.. Gadsden declared it a phya-
ical impossibility to assess a sales
tax on street car fares or on elec-
tricity or gas through prepayment
| meters. His discussion, however
was not confined solely to the
sales tax. as he told of the require
ments of regulated industries and
| urged the appointment of sub
committee to make a thorough
study of taxation of pubic utilities

REPUBLIC To Be
PROCLAIMED BY
POLISH REBELS
Plan Calls For Establish
ment of a Provisional
Government and Calling
a Constituent Assembly.

Warsaw, May 10 (by the Asso-
ciated Press) The Upper Sfieslan
situation is reported by newspaper
dispatches today to have taken a
new angle, messages from Silesia
declaring that the executive COM
mittee Of the insurgents is plan
ming to proclaim that section Of
Silesia now under insurgent con-
troll a republic.
The reported plan calls for the
establishment of provisional gov
ernment and the summoning of a
constituent assembly.
Poland has formally denied re-
ports that Polish troops have par
ticipatcd in the insurrection. The
government contends that the
frontier was closed as quickly as
possible.
Newspapers lay the blame for
the recent demonstrations against
the British and Italian legations in
Warsaw to irresponsible labor
leaders and other elements. In
the latest demonstration several
hundred men who responded to a
call for Polish Americans to up
hold the Polish claims in Silesia,
paraded the streets carrying Am
erican flags Memorials were dis
tributed urging allied sympathy
and justice for the Polish cause.
