NORTH DAKOTA IN THE MOVIES

North. Dakota, its farm life, it's
great natural resources of coal and
clay, it's rural school advantages, it's
happy community life and it's many
charming scenic wonders, will, be
shown to the world upon the motion
picture screen.
The North Dakota Department of
immigration through the Publicity
Film Co. Of Bismarck, has just COM
pleted an entirely new set Of motion
picture films. One Of these a 1.-TWO
reeler" is entitled "Rambles in North
Dakota" It shows a party Of tourists
entering the state at Fargo and max

side trips to the Turtle Mountains,
DesLacs Lake, the Pembina noun

"ADMTTTED"

Judge Gary of the Steel Trust is
quoted as saying: employer and en-
ployed r not spoken of as master
and servant; they are associates land
both find the relationship a pleasant
one. Inter-dependence is complete and
perfectly admitted. This is not a the
ory; it is a practice"
All of which reminds us of the re-
ply Of an old negro who, when asked
what sort Of man a certain citizen
was said: "Ah JUS donno, boss, but
he mus be alright; he sho' recommends
hissef mighty highly"
If, however, the "Interpendence is
complete and perfectly admitted" both
in theory and practice" Why do the
lords Of Steel and Stocks find it nee
essary to declare a nationwide Open
Shop War on their "partners"? Who
ever heard of men whose interests
were, interdependent, that is to say,
mutual, and completely and perfect
ly so, in theory and in practice, lock-
ing out and blacklisting each other?
How would it be possible for Equals
to outlaw Equals?>
It was never so, is not so, and will
never be so. The Open Shop war on
the workers and the Open Shop wal
on the farmers industrial program in
North Dakota and other states proves
conclusively that Judge Gary is try
ing to make white black. If it is, his
bunk is "admitted," but not until then.

Sunshine State, Bread Basket Of the
World" One film is devoted to "Com-
munity Life" in North Dakota; anoth-
er to "Rural School Advantages in
North Dakota" and the last is called
IAN U~ndeveloped Empire in Industry"
and is devoted exclusively to the coal
and clay resources of the state.
In addition the department has just
received several copies each of new
motion picture reels just completed by
the Publicity Film Co. for several
counties Of the state. These counties
are cooperating with the Department
Of immigration which will circulate
the films outside the state. The coun-
ties are Burleigh, Emmons, Hettinger,
Foster, Wells, Ward, Mountrail and
Williams.
GAIL these films are in tremendous
demand" says DR.. J. H. Worst, Com
missioner Of immigration. zone great
problem is going to be to get enough
copies to supply the demand for ma
tional circulation. We have had many
copies of each film made but already
find that we have not near enough to
go round. Beside our field force, which
has found the motion picture the best
possible method Of showing North
Dakota's opportunities and advan-
tages to prospective settlers, all of
the Immigration departments of the
railroads which cross the state and
several national organizations have
requested reels.
"Our films were showed to repre-
sentatives of the 500 line, Great
Northern and Northern Pacific at St.
Paul and to the representatives of
several national film distribution
agencies in Chicago and we were in
formed that our films were the best
development films that had aver been
produced in the United States In fact
we were told that no other state had
ever attempted anything like the work
we are doing with motion pictures"

Stock Prices
Drop Slightly
I'm Dull Market
Rails Stronger Early, but
Sag With Rest Of List
When Traders Even Ac-
counts for Over Holiday

The approach of the three-day holt
day held back the impulse to buy and
sell stocks yesterday, and operations
were on further restricted scale.
With the outlook for the immediate
future in the stock market uncertain,
spectators were disinclined to ACQUIRE
new commitments and carry them until
next Tuesday morning. Dizziness on
the eve Of a protracted market holt
day is not contrary to the usual run of
things speculative.
There was greater firmness in the
railroad list than among industrial
stocks, but toward the close even the
former became trifle heavy and re-
vealed trifling net losses. The average
OF thirty representative industrial
stocks was likewise only slightly below
Thursdays close. During most of the
day the market was swept by con-
Trajectory currents and irregularity
was the result In the last hour, how
ever, the tendency was definitely
toward moderately lower levels.
Against the general grayness which
prevailed in the stock market further
conspicuous weakness in Mexican
Petroleum stood out. The shares of
this company, which have been SEN
sationally weak for the last few weeks,
dropped to new low level yesterday.
The suggestion of an import tariff on
oil at the American border unsettled
sentiment on Thursday, and fresh i'm
petus came yesterday from the knowl-
edge that the new export tax in Mexico
on petroleum became effective on July
!, tax which oil men contend is pro-
kibitive, amounting roughly, with
other Mexican taxes, to 100 per cent
of the value of the oil. Mr.. Teagle,
president of the Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey, let it be known that the
company would discontinue importing
oil from Mexico because of the new
tax and would forthwith withdraw
tankers from that service.
Call money remained at per cent all
through the day. In the international
money market the pressure arising
from German reparation operations
was lifted and the European ex-
changes were frmer. Sterling gained
Is of a cent.
Cotton closed steady. with advances
of % to 81 points, but wheat quota
lions became weaker as the session ad-
vanced, closing Ia cents a bushel
lower. The government cotton crop re-
port was favorable to prices, but was
not tremendously stimulating piece of
news, because it accorded with private
estimates predicting the smallest crop
since 1900

Seaboard Air Line
Defers Payment of
Interest on Bonds
Serni-Annual Disbursement
on Adjustment Mortgage
5s Omitted Because of
Depressed Trade Outlook

Directors of the Seaboard Air Line
Railway Company yesterday voted TO
defer the semi-annual interest payment
due August 1 on the S25 100000 adjust
ment mortgage 5 per cent bonds. the
principal of which is due October i
l949. The bonds were issued On DC
tober 1, 1909.
In announcing the action of the board
Robert L. Mutt. treasurer of the road.
said that the decision to defer the in
terest was reached because of de-
pressed business conditions which
made it inadvisable for the COMPANY
to advance the $625,000 necessary TO
meet the August coupon. It was
pointed out that the interest on the
bonds is cumulative
The directors under ordinary con-
dltions," explained Mr.. Mutt, might
nave considered an advancement of the
necessary amount, although not earned.
but since the interest is cumulative
and because of general depressed bust
ness conditions throughout the coun-
try, IN the opinion Of the board, the
company would not be justified in adj
vancing unearned interest on the in
SSiiiC bOAANos Which WNQlQ take from the
property money considered essential to
its proper maintenance. A further
consideration was the fact that the re
duction of wages does not take effect
until after July l.
"The policy of the company during
the succeeding six months will be to
put the motive power in frst-class con-
ditlon to meet the winter business of
the corporation. This policy will. it Is
believed by the board, prove to the
material, benefit of the adjustment
bondholders in that their property will
be better conserved.
THE amount earned during the
period under consideration-viz., No
veember L last to April so, 1921-avail-
able for interest on the adjustment
bonds, was approximately $4,000. This
will be carried over into the next inter
est period, the amount being INSULT
cient to justify its distribution"

Standard Oil Co.
Quits importing
Mexican Supplies
Imposition of Heavy Export
Taxes Causes Withdrawal
of Tankers From Service,
W. c. Teagle Announces

w. G. Teagle, president of the Stand
ard Oil Company Of New Jersey, an
nounced yesterday that because of the
new Mexican export taxes on oil, which
were scheduled to become effective July
], it had been decided to discontinue
shipments Of oil from Mexico and to
withdraw the company's tankers from
that service. Arrangements have been
made to meet all the company's obliga-
tions by utilizing stocks on hand and
other available sources of supply.
Under existing market conditions
Mr.. Teagle said that the new taxes are
confiscatory and prohibitive. He as
serted that the Standard Oil Company
had been advised that they are uncon-
stitutional from the standpoint Of Mex
lean law as we'll. Their cumulative eff
feet, he stated, is to impose upon oils
exported from Mexico taxes amounting
value. Protest to President Oregon
has been made without avail.
"Since April, 1917" added Mr.. Teagle.
''the law of Mexico has imposed ad
valorem duties on crude petroleum and
its products shipped out of that coun-
try determined by the application Of
certain fixed percentages to the value
of the oil in Mexico. The percentages
established by the law are not in them
selves unreasonable, but the Mexican
Treasury Department has from the be-
ginning fixed values for the purpose Of
the tax in excess and with entire dis
regard of actual values and the terms
of the law, with the result that the
taxes demanded have been. generally
speaking, not less than double the
amounts 1era l1U
against this arbitrary and illegal
administration Of the law the Standard
Oil Company New Jersey, with other
members of the Association of Pro-
ducers of Petroleum, has repeatedly
protested, and has sought SUCCESSFULLY
from the Carranza. De La Huerta and
Oregon governments an opportunity to
make full presentation of the facts and
to secure a readjustment of valuations
to accord with actual figures Assur-
ances of fair consideration and prom
Uses of relief were usually given, but
no real hearing has ever been granted.
Our sworn figures have been ignored,
and the valuations, instead of being
reduced, have been progressively in
creased.
"These taxes have been paid under
protest and suits brought in the Mexi-
can courts to test their validity, with
out as yet any relief being afforded.
Effective July 1, 1921, the law of 1917
was repealed, and two new DEGREES, re-
Gently promulgated by the Chief Ex-
ecutive, took its place"
Other American oil companies hav-
ing properties in Mexico, it was said
yesterday, will also remove their tank
ers from Mexico. At the Offices of the
Mexican Petroleum Company the state
ment was made that no decision on this
matter had yet been reached. In we'll
informed quarters it was stated that
the stoppage of shipments and boat
loadings of oil at Tampico, Mexico's
principal port, would represent about
80 per cent of that country's production.
