thereto.
Some politicians have been saying
all the time that those senators who
voted to seat Newberry would lose
their seats in the senate, and in many
cases Newberryism is the clap-trap
that some of the cheap politicians use
to secure a seat in the senate more
than the matter of efficiency for the
Job, but down in Texas they have had
primary recently and the sitting
senator, a democrat, running for an
other term was beaten in the primary
election. Senator Culbertson, one of
the democrats voting not to seat New
berry lost out. 1t appears according
to the reasoning of many, that this
Newberryism works both ways. The
man who is seeking seat in the SEN
ate and uses the Newberry case as the
main plank in his platform is only
trying to catch votes by chaff and
demagogery. Newberry may have
spent lot of money in his campaign
but Frazier had bigger one in COM
parison and yet the holier than thou
senators who are lined up with Fraz-
Ter seem to forget this fact. Politics
are strange things to cope with. In
one case where we have less than a
million people in the state, it costs
$4,000 to nominate Frazier. In
Michigan where they have several
millions of people and it costs to get
a letter to each voter in the state
$4,000 alone, and Newberry spent
$165,000 altogether, it is the greatest
crime on record. Yet we do not hear
of LaFollette, Ladd and the other two
faced reformers in the senate citing
the North Dakota primary campaign
fund. And now in the democratic
ranks mostly, the Newberry case is
the main topic of the speech of the
candidate running for the senate or
congress. Such hypocrisy makes the
average citizen very weary.
Iniative petitions for a new North
Dakota grain grading act are being
circulated among the voters. These
petitions provide for an act to take
the place of the one enacted by the
legislature in 1919 and which has
been declared unconstitutional by the
United States supreme court. The
new law which will become a law if
approved by majority of the voters
who go to the polls in November, is
aimed to accomplish the purposes
sought in the old law. In drawing
the new bill all the features objected
to by the United States supreme court
in the old law are eliminated. The
new bill provides that the United
States grain grades are to be the
standard for the state and that all
rules and regulations promulgated
by the United States secretary Of ag-
riculture shall apply at all times in
the North Dakota grain grading de-
partment. The administration Of the
new law is vested in state super

Attorney J. F. Sullivan, of Mandan,
is of the opinion that the state bonus
law must be amended before eastern
investors will be justified in the pur-
chase of certificates to enable imme-
date payment. The industrial COM
mission signed tentative contract
with the Minneapolis Loan and Trust
Company and other companies for
the purchase of $6,5OO,O00 worth of
bonus certificates at IS per cent dis
count. A suit was then instituted to
test the legality of this action and the
state supreme court held the contract
invalid. In it's decision the court held
that the industrial commission had
authority to exercise certain discre-
ton in the payment of the bonuses.
For example, they may if they see fit,
pay certain certificates in advance of
the others, but they cannot contract
to exercise that discretion in any par
ticular manner that would Be binding
upon them. This, Mr.. Sullivan says,
prevents their contracting to pay such
certificates as may be purchased at
any particular time or in any particu-
lar order which would make it impos-
sible for the industrial commission Or
eastern investors to deal with any one
having control thereof with reference
thereto.

United States Agents
Studying New Russia;
Changes Taking Place

wAsHINGTON--what is about
to happen in Russian And how
will It affect American relations
with the soviet authorities?
Those are two questions that are
uppormost In the minds OF diplo-
mats here, and OF leaders OF thought
In the Harding administration.
Some significant developments
may be noted. az indicating the
drift OF things. Standing out In
these passing developments there are
these points that may be considered:
1--Following declaration OF n new
economic policy by Lenine, govern
ment official sources have begun to
hear that there Is an actual trend
from the communistic toward the
capitalistic system OF government.
2--On the strength of the sFyict
assurances that tho shackles have
been removed from private trading
and property rights In some degree.
and the fact that the requisitlOn sys-
tenn has been modified to allow more
Incentive TO the prHlucers there is
seen In latest reports a desire TO
speed up production in Russia in
some lines.
Banks Are Opening.
3--Banks are opening In Russia,
stores that have been closed for
years have reopened, there is more
active bargaining among individuals,
and there is less fear apparently that
all a Russian makes or acquires will
be taken to support the well known
red army.
OF course. officials here do not
take at ther face value the state
ments made by Lenine, or his pro-
nounCemcnts contained in tho
lengthy statement of economy of
policy which he promulgated.
Nor do officials accept the word
OF those who control the soviet press,
for they have been shown TO be
grossly misleading and In tho past
apparently circulated for effect, or
for propaganda. rather than throu -.
desire to disseminate news events
truthfully.
This government Is not depending.
however. upon wild statements, or
those that are clearly inspired. It's
own agents are keeping the gover~~
ment informed of the trend OF things
IN Russia. And the outlook is not so
dubious as IL was several months
ago.
Russia Blg Storebouse.
The fact that Russia is one of the
big storehouses of the world, that
hcr prosperity WOuld at once nelp 10
lift the whole world out OF the finan-
cial and commercial pool OF despond
encourages the belief that the signs
now noted are those OF permanent
change toward n more stable sys-
tenn whereby other nations safely
may deal with Russia and with
Russians.
These signs of change are not so
pronounced the. officials here are
willing to hazard q guess that

would of Itself largely solve some of
the more pressing American eco
nomlc troubles. IL is recalled that
Russia was not only one OF the big
gest producers before the war but
was one OF the largest buyers OF
American assay offices.
Buying From U. S.
During the last fiscal year Russia
bought American goods worth si7,-
900, 900. II may be near that figure
the present year. But the purchases
were made "lndirectly" through
Russian buyers stationed in neutral
capitals. In such capitals as Copen-
hagen, Stockholm and others Rus
sian gold In vast amounts had been
deposited to purchase food for Rus
slams after the soYiets got control.
Much OF this metal came to America.
The goods were consigned to buyers
In the neutral countries. But the
gold when 1t reached New York bore
the mint stamp of the countries
which accepted II. and under a
treasury ruling IL was acceptable at
American assay offices.
High officials, discussing the Rus
sian dilemma. assert that while they
observe the trend toward the capi-
talistic system and the departure
rom things communistic, they still
maintain that mature judgment can
not be formed thus early as to the
permanent effect upon world affairs
of the recent events. With partial

U. S. Is After
Potato Weevil

WASHINGTON---W to eradl-

culture. in cooperation with various
southern states. has shown consist
ent progress In practically every
county. At present this work covers
nine counties In four states east of
the Mississippi.
The quarantine divisions OF tho
cooperating states are rendering
valuable aid In prohibiting n further
spread OF the wcevll while the work
OF eradication is In progress, depart
ment officials say.
No tests OF eradication have been
made west of the Mississippi river
as the infested area. comprising the
southern half of Louisiana and tho
eastern half OF Texas, would require
mrch greater expenditures than arc
possible with the funds available.
IN th.s area the weevil is slowly
extending It's range northward. Re
ccntlv new infcstatlon was re-
ported In the vicinity OF Shreveport.
La, as well as In two counties In
southern oklahoma should tho
latter report be verified. It will mark
the first infestation north OF the
Red river, which separates Texas
and Oklahoma at that point. A pre-
liminary examination OF the Okla
homR situation indicates that eradl-
cation there would be somewhat less
difficult than in the gulf region,
where all these tests are now In
progress. Any delay In beginning
this work will probably complicate
the situation, as the sweet potato in
dustry In southern Oklahoma is ex-
panding rapidly.
