FARMERS IN WEST
n. D. LEAVE FARMS
BECAUSE OF RATES
Rex Willard of Agricultural
College Tells the Interstate
Commerce Commission at
Freight Rate Hearing
MINI. Farmers to Burn
Corn.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE inter
state commerce commission was told
today by Morris Bien. assistant sec
retary Of the reclamation service,
that high freight rates were largely
responsible for a great increase in
the number of farmers delinquent on
payments on irrigated lands. The
average Of delinquency. he said, has
risen from to 8 per cent, in other
years, to AZ percent and will result in
curtailing reclamation work.
Rex E. Willard, Of the agricultur-
al college. North Dakota, said many
grain and hay producers were leav
ing their lands and mortgages being
forec1osed due to prevailing freight
rates. In certain section of west
ern North Dakota, he said, 1.163
farmers gave up their lands, OF which
10000 acres is not being reculti-
waited. He estimated that 577,0O0
acres in the state would be out of
cultivation due to this movement Of
farmers.
Iowa farmers are attempting to
mature the largest corn crop in the
history of the state with no prospect
Of a market. and Minnesota farmers
are preparing to burn their corn
this winter instead of buying coal,
farmers today told the interstate
commerce commission in it's investi-
CATION of freight rates on grain and
hay.
Railroads, by maintaining abnor-
mally high freight rates, will lose
the traffic on the coal which the
farmers would use il they could sell
their corn, as well as that on the
unsold grain, T. E. eastman, Min
nesota farmer, told the commission.
Lower freight rates on grain and hay
he said in reply to questions by men,
bers of the commission, would in
crease the volume of traffic, not only
in those commodities, but the IN
crease would be reflected in the add
ed purchases by farmers of machin-
cry, household goods, lumber and
other necessities

REVEAL SCHEME
TO REFUND TAXES

States Attorney and county Off
GERS at WillistOn, in Williams coun-
ty, warn school and township boards
not to sign a contract with any per-
son agreeing to give him percent
age for collection of interest and pen
atty from the county which he might
claim to be due the district It is not
known whether other counties in the
state have been worked for this pur-
pose or not. In 1911 the state legis-
lature Of North Dakota passed an
amendment to the law governing the
collection Of tax penalty and interest
by counties which specifics that the
penalty and interest on delinquent
taxes shall be apportioned and paid
back to all subdivisions of the coun-
ty.
It is doubtful If any county in the
state has complied with the require
ments Of the amendment.
Many people know this law is in
existence and probably everybody
knew it at the time it was passed, but
it has been merely overlooked as
many other useless laws are over
looked and because it has been over
looked its existenc has probably
slipped from the memory of many
people. None Of the money collected
as penalty and interest on taxes since
the amendment was passed has ever
been apportfoned and paid back to
the subdivisions of Williams county
The promoter of this scheme want
ed rs per cent commission for col
lection of this interest and penalty.
The states attorney of Williams coun-
ty says:
"The county has been using this
penalty and interest fund for re-
volving fund to take care of school
and county warrants and transfer to
other funds as is needed. Without
this fund the county would have to
make larger levy which means
more taxes to the taxpayer and we
know 1t is better for township, school
and county, one and all, not to make
distribution as it would be taking
money from the county and giving
1t to the township and school and vii
lage and the taxpayer would in turn
pay the same amount back to the
county in taxes. It would take sew
eral thousands of dollars in extra
help to make the distribution, which
would be total loss.

HUGHES TO HEAD
U.S.. DELEGATION
AT CONFERENCE
Definite Assurance That Presii-
dent Will Not Act as Dele
gate to Disarmament Con-
ference Given in Announce
ment From White House.

Washington, Aug. 12-Any expec-
tation that President Harding will
himself act as a delegate to the
disarmament conference was over
thrown today by a White House an
nouncement that he had definitely
designated Secretary Hughes Of the
state department to head the Ameri-
can delegation.
1t was said that other members
were yet to be chosen, altho the
president is known to have narrowed
considerably the list of those he con-
siders available and may reach the
point of other definite selections in
the very near future. He is un-
derstood to have decided that at
least one Of the places shall go to n
United States senator and the choice
of a woman as member Of the dele
cation still is within the range of
possibility.
To Remain in Background
The exact role to be played by the
president never has been officially
defined, but the general expectation
is that after delivering the opening
address of the conference on Novem-
OCl uC Will lCLldIH III luC UdCN-
ground of the negotiations, leaving
direct contact with the foreign COM
missioners to his accredited represen-
tatives, but at the same time keep
ing in close touch with them and
with all the proceedings.
BY this course Nr. Harding will
be in a position similar to that Of
President POincare of France when
he opened the Versailles conference
and then retired from actual partici-
patton in the proceedings. President
Harding's close advisors are said to
feel that by keeping away from de-
tails OF the disarmament discussions
he can reserve his efforts for the
placed as to act as mediator for
all the delegates in any disagreement
that might threaten the success Of
the conference.
Not only has the president placed
Mr.. Hughes at the head of the Amer
ican delegates, but he also has turn
ed over to the state department the
task of clearing away, all the details
remaining to be disposed of before
the conference meets.
To Send Many Experts
One of the problems which threat
ems to occupy the attentions of a
large staff before it is solved, was
tackled by the department today
when it offered it's aid to the en-
bassies and legations of the invited
nations in securing suitable quarters
and other accommodations for the
visiting delegations. Each of the
powers is expected to send large
corps of experts, clerks and other at
taches with it's commission and the
task of providing them not only a
place to live, but office space as we'll.
may require an extensive survey Of
housing facilities.
While replies were awaited to the
formal invitation dispatched yester-
day, speculation in diplomatic circles
here today was concerned chiefly
with the scope which may be taken
by the conference under the terms
laid down by the invitations.

STRONG HOPE FOR
BETTER PRICES ON
ALL FARM PRODUCE
White House Statement Says
:, Recent Reduction in .Ex-
port Rate on Grains Will Be
Followed Sweeping Revis-
!. ion of All Grain Rates.
ashington, Aug. 12.-

ashington, Aug. 12.-StrOng
for better prices in the agricul-
- vi markets is justified by reduc-
tions in the railroad rates on grain
for export, already in effect and pro-
posed according to a statement is
sued at the White House tonight.
Recent reductions in the export
rate on grains between Chicago and
New York, the statement said, will
be followed by sweeping revisions
of grain rates generally, including
those from Mississippi river points
and on the lines to the Gulf, in
order that the entire agricultural
interest may share fully in the bene-
fits.
Exports Minor Share
I'm general the statement con-
tinued, advances in freight costs
are passed on to the consumer by
adding them to the selling price.
But in grains, whose domestic price
is dominated by the foreign price
of the exported surplus, the produ-
Ger suffers when ratesgo up and ben
efits when they go down. Therefore
tho the exports represent minor
share of the total grain production,
the lowering of export rates affects
the entire crop. These reductions of
rates, together with the arrange
ments for financial assistance to ex-
port trade and assurance that Eur
ope is going to need extraordinary
quantities of food stuffs, constitute
justification for strong hope that
the tendency in agricultural markets
will for sometime be decidedly to-
ward better prices"
Important Measure.
Reductions of transportation rates
on grain for export was described
as zone of the most important meas
ures the administration has initiated
for the relief of agriculture and of
general industrial conditions The
reductions, it was explained. were in
sisted upon by Secretary Hoover, as
a concession to the agricultural in
terests, when. on behalf of Presi-
dent Harding, he negotiated with the
carriers the basis of settlement of
their claims against the government,
growing out of federal CONTROL
S.. This was made the basis Of the
adjustment" the statement continu-
ed, the railroads relinquishing their
so-called labor inefficiency' claims
and undertaking to inaugurate re-
ductions in the export grain rates,
while the administration undertook
to assist them by securing early set
tlement of their claims against the
government"

governor go out of the state as much
as he wants to. as long as he does
not come back"
The general belief seems to be,
concluded Mr. Richter, that the In
dependent forces will win the recall
election with from $4,000 to 10000
ma jority. IT never heard people
begin, to talk about majority as ear
ly before, he said.
"Fighting Dan'' is Confident
Lieutenant Dan E. Richter also re-
turned to Fargo last Saturday from
and extended tour in the interest or
the recall election having spent the
last two weeks in Barnes county.
Since the Devils Lake convention he
has been in many sections of the state
including Bottineau, Ramsey, Penn
bina, Cavalier and other counties.
Everywhere 1 have BEEN, said
Fighting Dam, II have found peo-
pie, business men and farmers alike,
ready to "go' on the recall. The
difficulty has not been that signatur-
es could not be secured, but in get
ting petitions circulators who had
time to do the work.
Barnes County for Recall
The lientenants last efforts have
been in the thirty-eight Legislative
district, part of; Barnes county, one
Of the strongest League bailiwtcks in
the state; During the past. weelssi
have, visited every township In the
district, he said, ''and over 1900
signatures from Barnes county are
already on file Iii headquar.ters. I
have approximately fifty petitions in
circulation there, now, and the thir-
ty-eighth district is going to furnish
in the neighborhood' of one thou
sand signers. :. :.
MANY farmers upon whom I call
ed told me that they had been look
ing for an opportunity to sign. I
am satisfied that with over seventy
thousand signatures in headquarters
now actually checked up, that If
systematic canvass of the state
should be made, it is possible to get
I25,0OO signers.
Many Leaguers for Recall
"Many Leaguers with whom 1
have talked personally are for the
recall, and many who do not care to
sign will vote the Independent tick
ct on election day. I am confident
that the change in sentiment noticea-
BILE everywhere means a magnificent
victory for the Independent ticket
