Specialists Held Diversificaton Week

Fargo, N. D. - Five meetings at
points in every North Dakota county
which will make some meeting ac-
cessible to every farmer, with sixth
roundup meeting at a central point,
and with three speakers. at every
meeting, is the proposal for observing
the Diversified Farming week, March
5 to II, made by ]. w. Haw, county
agent leader. The week was pro-
claimed by Governor R. A. Nestos,
who asked cooperation of all agencies
in observing the week. The entire
available personnel of the Agricul-
tural college staff has been placed
at the disposal of the counties, in an
effort to furnish one speaker from
the institution to every county en-
ploying county agent.
"The time is ripe for the formula
ton of definite diversification plans"
Mr.. Haw says in asking the county
agents to cooperate with all agencies
in their county in arranging for the
week. 1T is the right time to start
because the right time to begin new
enterprise is when start may be
made at a low initial cost. Seed corn
and potatoes; sweet clover and alfalfa
seed, are all comparatively low in
price. All breeds and classes Of
breeding livestock are low in price.
Also, plans for new farm enterprises
should logically be started in the
spring in order that cropping plans
may be such as will fit into the newly
planned enterprises" 3

TOWNLEY DEPLORES
FARGO PAPER MOVE
Court Action to Force Transfer of
League Newspaper Called
Unnecessary

Fargo, Feb. 27.-Arthur C. Town
ley, president of the National Non
partisan league, termed "unneces
sary" the action begun in distric
court here Saturday to force Town
ley, William Lemke and the Nonpar
tisan Publishing company, a common
law trust, to transfer to the state
executive committee of the league
stock in the Courier News, official
league newspaper, to which they have
the title as "holders in trust.
Believing that Mr.. Townley had
come to Fargo to carry out plans for
the sale of the Courier-News to a
Washington man, the committee brot
suit in Cass county district court to
force the transfer of the stock. AT
the same time the plaintiffs obtained
temporary injunction restraining
Townley ct al from interfering with
or attempting to take possession of
the Courier News or to interfere with
the management of the paper by the
leagues state executive committee
until March 30.
Awaits Action of Convention
Mr.. Townley said he had not
changed his plans to carry out his
part of an agreement reached sew
eral months ago, which provides that
no action be taken toward transfer
ing the stock in question until the
state convention here late next month.
at was agreed that the convention
should decide who should hold the
Stock said Mr.. Townlev. land still
intend to leave it up to the delegates.
Their decision will be my decision"
Mr.. Townley was confident that
everything will be Strengthened OUT
at the state convention. However,
the state executive committee con-
siders that bringing. the suit and OBJ
tanning the restraining order Satur-
day is all that prevented Mr.. Town
ley from attempting to actually take
over the Courier News.
Fight for. Paper F0reseen
At a conference Saturday attended
by several leaguerS Mr.. Townley is
said to have admitted that he had
repeatedly refused to turn over to the
state executive committee the stock
he holds in the paper which was to
have been transferred to the COM
mittee last fall at the time of it's
election, according to the terms of
an agreement reached several months
before. In his speech, Town!ey is
reported to have renewed his deter
mination to postpone actual transfer
of the stock until the state conven-
ton, when the question would be CIV
en- to the league members themselves
to decide.
Close followers of the Nonpartisan
. league in Fargo see in the recent
move of Townley and the counter ac-
ton of the state executive committee,
the beginning of spirited fight to
gain control of the league official
newspaper. 1t is believed by many
that the coming state convention will
be featured by hot contest for man
agement and ownership Of the paper.

Regulating tho Pilots

y OVERNOR DAVIS delivered n severe
NJ indictment against the Virginia Pilots
Association in 4 message TO the General As
scmbly yesterday. The Governor charges
the pilots with being bar TO the develop
ment OF Hampton Roads; with dividing Il
million dollars Il year, representing cnor-
nous profits that bear no relation TO the
value of the service which the pilots render
to shipping: and he charges them further
with CXactng rates so to so per cent higher
than those prevailing at other Atlantic and
Gulf ports similarly situated
Yet the Governor charges nothing that
has not been charged many times before,
nor has lie charged anything the truth OF
which is not easily ascertainable-in fact,
has been ascertained by actual survey
except il be the amount Of profits which the
pilots divide among themselves. Protected
by their State monopoly, they keep shair
books closed. and inasmuch as they have
never seen fit TO deny the charge OF eX-
cessive profits. i'll the absence OF s1ch Il
denial supported by proof it must be ac-
ceptcd az at least approximately accurate.
In the matter OF profits to the pilots
seems to rest the nub of the whole ancient
controversy. II they are charging excess
sivo fees then they are not only retardinS
the development OF the port, but they are
delaying the solution b. the nation of its
great transportation problem. Not only that,
for if they are dividing excess profits, profits
above n reasonable remuneration for their
service. they are reapng tho benefits OF
funds which should go into channels lead
ing 10 the public welfare. II is notable, too,
that in the recent report OF tho commission
on the development OF Hampton Roads. tho
subject OF the pilots profits was studiously
avoided. The pilots were given clean bill
rs 10 efficiency and as to other lines of en-
dcavor incident to their association, OF
which there never has been any question,
but the rates charged to shipping were not
touched upon, other than to say that they
were fixed by the Assembly in 1905.
The Assembly owes it 10 Virginia to
so into this old situation of pilotage and
take whatever remedial measures it may
deem necessary. The Governor recommends
changes in the appointment of the pilots
commission. and that the p!lotage fees be
reduced. Most important OF all, however,
he asks that the Assembly provide that all
fees collected by the pilots in excess OF a
reasonable compensation for their labor and
necessary expenses, be paid into the State
treasury for the benefit OF the elementary
public schools. That is not take it, n
blow at the Pilots Association in any Of
its legitimate and necessary activities. II
