The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1921-01-20

Mandan is preparing for dead time
the early part of February when the
North Dakota Funeral Directors meet
there.
Senator McCumber's proposition
TO place a tariff of SOC a bushel on
Wheat, while it may not carry at least
has been of service in calling the at
tention of the senate to the injustice
the farmers of the United States have
suffered. and there is likelihood of
a 4Oc tariff that will help boost the
price to our growers.
In speaking about loan made TO
Canada of $25,O0O,000 to the Grand
Trunk Railway the Courier News TINS
morning says: "Why does wall street
turn down North Dakota and help the
dominion" The answer is very easy,
The dominion is doing business in a
business way while North Dakota is
doing it by the suit case method with
out any stability.
The state senate yesterday passed
bill appropriating $4,000 for At
torney General Lemke. But the house
has not passed it yet Mr.. Lemke
wants to get his mits on that money
before the auditing report has been
submitted to the legislature: lie
probably feels that after that has
been brought to light his chances for
getting this money would be rather
slim.
Mr.. Wog, through the grace of the
senate nonpartisan ma orlty OF one:
and on straight party vote, as 1t
we're, will retain his seat in the state
senate contested by Mr.. List. He wog~
giles in by a mighty narrow majority.
The action of the senate was TO be
expected and to tell the truth if the
other fellows had had the upper hand
thew would have seated their candl-
date. YOU know that. These politicians
are not going to draw the lines very
fine on how their particular candidate
gets elected-so long as they get a
majority.
Senator McCumber has introduced a
bill in the United States senate to pro-
hibit hotel and restaurant keepers
from robbing visitors to the nations
capital during the Inauguration. Some
hotels have already had reservations
for rooms for which they charge $3.50
per day and the restaurant fellows
might lust as we'll sandbag and rob
YOU as to charge the awful price they
do charge on such occasions. Presl-
dent-elect Harding has also put a
crimp into this highway robbery
scheme by refusing to allow any frllls
at his inauguration. He wants and
insists on a plain assumption OF office
and the saving Of these many thous-
ands of dollars that would have been
used for pomp and glory had ne not
put stop to it.
Governor Frazier and his fellow
members of the administration boarc
are asked to either propose some
method by which the industrial pro
gram and the other needs of the state
and it's citizens can be financed or a
least point out to the Legislative as
sembly and the public some real rea
son why the proposition of the stat
bankers to sell bonds was SO sum
marily turned down last week. KEEP
resentative Kitchen, Of Golden Vale,

this effect yesterday and it passed tn
mouse So to 3d. The governor and nj
associates are all the time charging
that the bankers and others are tryln
to kill off the industrial program an
