SHARP POTATO DEALS
TO Be PR0DtD

Minot, N. D., Jan 5.-The Minot
Association of Commerce and farm
ers Of northwestern North Dakota
are joining forces in an effort to
curb alleged "sharp trading by
commission firms selling potatoes
on consignment from producers, and
as result of joln- meeting OF
farmers and association members.
an investigation committee has been
appointed.
According to complaints made by
potato producers, they have in many
cases received statements for money
claimed due the commission firm for
selling carloads Of North Dakota po-
tatoes. Several reports were pre-
sented of potato shipments by farm
ers In October and November on
which no returns had been made.
While potatoes were all consigned
"to sell ;, the potatoes were stored
in warehouses, according to letters
to the farmers from the commission
firms. but no warehouse receipts
were forthcoming.
Henry L. Finke, well known pota-
to producer of the Berthold district,
said:
"A few years ago we farmers in
the Berthold district received q
fleeing on So cars of potatoes and
we should be used to almost any
kind of treatment by commission
firms but it has reached point now
where something must be done to
protect the potato industry of North
Dakota
Subinvestigating committees have
been appointed in the various po-
tato raising districts to gather and
prepare all data covering farmers
complaints against the commission
firms. These will be placed in the
hands of the investigating commit
tee. The sentiment Of the meeting
here was that thorough investiga-
ton be made, before legal action be
begun against the commission firms.
Should investigation warrant, the
Minot Association of Commerce will
institute criminal proc ee Gin 6 8
against commission firms or individ-
uals believed guilty of illegal busi-
ness methods in dealing whit potato
growers of this section, it has been
announced.

cision announced yesterday in the
suit to enjoin the canvassing board
from certifying the election Of three
members OF the industrial commits

FARMERS MUST ORGANIZE
To CONTROL MARKETING
SYSTEM, HOWARD CLAIMS

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 3.-James r.
Howard, president Of the American
Farm Bureau federation, in his ad-
dress before the North Dakota Farm
Bureau federation convened here
yesterday. replied to charges made
by Senator Robert M. La Toilette
that Howard had held conference
with representatives of the leading
business interests including the
railroads, by admitting that he had
been I'M such conferences and was
Droud of the results attained there
by.
Howard also plainly indicated his
belief that redress for the present
distressing conditions in agriculture
lies not In political action but IN or
ganzation for cooperative purposes.
He declared that the Farm Bureau
movement aimed at securing relief
for tho farmers not by getting con-
troll 0f the political machinery OF
the state or nation, but by securing
control OF the marketing system Of
the country. The head OF the Farm
Bureau, however, urged that the
farmers bloc, in congress be given
full support, apparently not consid-
ering that political action.

DEs lAcs BRIDGE
: !. FALLS ON ICE

One section of the bridge across
the Des Laos lake east of the city
went down last Monday night, and
1t is now necessary for people to
cross on the ice instead Of the
bridge. The county board was in
session the following day and went
out to look the thing over. The
bridge was condemned Immediately.
and the road leading to each end
OF it closed. The board will make
immediate arrangements to make
the necessary repairs, but the bridge
will be far from safe until the ice
goes out of the lake next spring,
and people crossing it even after
it is fixed up will be taking. a big
risk. The section which went down
is on the east side Of the lake where
the water is deepest. and where
Enger FERN lost a team of horses
two weeks ago by drowning. The
damage was caused by the heaving
of the ice, and it would be hard to
tell where the next heaving will
take place, and what, part of the
bridge is liable to go down next.
The only way to obtain safe cross
ing Of the lake here would be to
construct a new bridge at the earl
lest possible moment, as in spite
of any repairs that might be made
the old one Is unsafe and is very
likely to get the county into an ex-
pensive damage suit or several OF
them If its use is continued. 1t
was constructed nearly 20 years
ago at an expense OF about $4,000.
A new modern bridge which would
last for several generations would
cost approximately 100000 ac
cording to. estimates made by the
state engineer OF this amount
the state would pay one-half, and
it is believed that the other half
could be divided between Burke and
Ward counties, as the road on which
it is constructed runs between the
two counties.

MORTGAGE IS N01

Darlington, N. D., Jan. 4.-In
the case Of w. A. Dexter (as execu-
tori plaintiff and appellant against
e. B. Litchenwalter and Ruby Litch-
.;nwalter, husband and wife, taken
from Foster county. the state su-
preme court. has just held that notes
and mortgage gwen to the father
on land decided by the father to the
son with the understanding that the
land was gift, are not enforce
able at the suit of the executor of
the mortgage.
It was brought out that the faith
er had taken from his son and the
sons wife the notes and mortgage
to prevent the grantees and mort
gagors from losing their homestead
through improvidence; that the
father subsequently made a will re-
citing he had advanced money or
property to the mortgagor amount
ing, approximately, to $1,000, there
being no showing that the advance
ment consisted of money or proper
ty other than the land so mort
Gagged; and that the son, prior to
the conveyance to him, nao lone
been in possession of the land
paying taxes but no rent.

afternoon, Mr.. Howard spent some
time IN replying to La Follette's
charges. He denied that there had
been anything secret in the con-
ferences had with the heads OF the
country's railroad systems and
claimed that as a result Of these
conferences reductions in freight
rates had been secured which will
save the farmers Of the country
in the coming six.
months period. Mr.. Howard made
no allusions, however, to the charges
made by the senator that he had
agreed not to demand the elimina-
tion OF the governments guarantee
OF railroad profits. Nor was any
mention made OF the vicious Esch
Cumming railroad law.
In the course Of his address Mr.
Howard declared that the hope OF
American agriculture lay In perfect
ing farmer-owned and controlled CO.

that the Farm Bureau believed ia an
economic rather than a political
solution of the farmers problems,
that freight charges must be furth-
er reduced In order to bring North

M|NOT JAIL IS NOW
LESS POPULAR

Minot, N. D., Jan. 5.-The Minot
city Jail isn't such popular place
as it used to be since the price of
meals for prisoners held therein
has been reduced to Is cents,
amounting to practically, bread and
water diet, with an occasional po-
tato as desert. A rock pile for
prisoners to while away their time
on during their idle hours is also
under consideration, it is said, in
an attempt to make the. city Jail a
place more to be summed instead
of a home, sweet home for every
transient that hits the city.

,rhe Great Northern railroad
started on Jan. ! to accept ship
ments of grain at the new reduced
rates, instead of on Jan. z, the date
previously set. The original date
set for the reduction of the rates
was Dec. 27, and was later changed
to Jan. z, because of the pleas of
the railroads that they would be
unable to revise their schedules by
Dec. 27. The interstate commerce
commission, which recommended
that the reduction to take effect on
Nov. 20, ordered tho reduction of

Roberts furnished the commissioners

present laws regarding special legis-
lation for women. A greater and
fairer understanding of domestic re-
lations will be brought about by this
law, Since the adoption Of the Wom-
an Suffrage Amendment it seems to
me that every state should grant
women equal rights with men,"
Congressman Edward E. Browne:
Il have been asked many times about
the Wisconsin Equal Rights law which
was enacted June q, 1921; and l
have always been glad to give my
testimony to the effect that the Wis
consin law is right in principle and
works well in practice, With the 10Th
Amendment a part of our constitu-
tion, it is an anomaly to deny to vot-
ing citizens subordinate rights on ac-
count Of sex. The Wisconsin Legis-
lature, in keeping with the constitu-
ton, declared that women shall have
the same rights and privileges as
men. There never has been a good
reason and there certainly is no ex-
cuse or justification at the present
time with the Nineteenth Amendment
in force for denying women the rights
and privileges Of men, while reserving
for women the special protection and
privileges which they now enjoy for
the general welfare"
Congressman A. P. Nelson: "This
is to certify that it is my belief, from
general information received from nv
district and from Wisconsin as a
State, that Chapter 529, General Laws
OF Wisconsin, 1921, known as the law
giving women equal rights with men.
is generally accepted as a good law.
1t is law which, l believe, women
are entitled to under our general
scheme Of government, declaring
equal rights to every citizen. Since
the adoption of the Woman Suffrage
Amendment to our National Constitu-
tion it would seem logical that every
state would grant women absolute
equal rights with men. The law is
so drawn as not to effect in any way
the special legislation granted women
in the interest of general welfare"
Congressman J. D. Beck: 81 am
