LINCOLN'S. SPIRIT LIVES ON
IN LEGION, HEAD SAYS
BY HANFORD MAC NIDER,
Commander, the American
Legion.

Legion,
indianapolis, Feb. II. - Abraham
Lincoln typities to every American the
rugged honesty and high integrity we
like to associate with our ideals for
our country and its institutions.
The men and women of the Ameri-
can Legion, Offering as they do, VOL
UNFAIRLY, insurance to the nation for
the preservation of its lawful govern
ment, have no other ambition than to
serve as useful constructive citizens,
than to be guided by principles and
precepts of the man we honor today.
Lincoln's endeavors were ever to
strengthen the moral fabric of this
republic to counteract those forces
that weaken and destroy. He felt the
proper care and consideration for the
veterans who fought the battles for
Americas defense one of the most
important and constructive forces to
that end.
The Aferican Legion has for its
principal reason for being that Ameri-
lea stay the way we fought that it
might stay-American..
We propose to do this constructive
ly-through education and example,
through a real and righteous, con-
sciousness of our duties as American
citizens that the principles of which
Lincoln has given us such high ex-
ample may be ever strengthened and

WANTS FEDERAL
INSPECTION TO
AID SPUD MEN
Attorney General Johnson Sets
Out Abuse Suffered in Ship
ping Out of State
BURTNEss PROMISES AID
Extension Of Federal Inspection
Act to Include Potatoes is
Aim in Matter

Action toward obtaining federal
legislation to correct abuses in potato
marketing which are complained OF
by North Dakota potato growers and
shippers has been taken by Attorney
General Sveinbjorn johnson and sup
port of the movement has been enlist
ed from Representative 0. B. Burt
ness of the First congressional dis
trict.
Investigating the legal aspects of
the situation, from his personal
knowledge and contact with the
growing potato industry Of North Da-
kota, especially in the Red River val
ley, Attorney General Johnson has
come to the conclusion that extension
Of the federal grain inspection law to
cover the potato industry is the solu-
tion of the problem.
Since the potatoes raised in the
state are chiefly marketed outside Of
the state the matter becomes inter,
state and federal regulations are held
necessary to correction of the abuses.
Chief complaint made is that potatoes
will be shipped at an agreed price but
when they reach the jobber, if the
price has dropped he will grade them
lower to take care of the change in
price. Abuses also have been report
ed when there is no change in price.
Inspection Of potatoes and grading at
the primary potato shipping points in
North Dakota is held the solution.
F.. Explains Situation r.
In letter to Representative Burt
ness, Mr.. Johnson explained the stu
alton as follows: ...'. .....

some time wanted to direct your at
tention, and that is the marketing
situation at the primary market.
mean the market in the commercial
centers like Minneapolis, Chicago
Kansas City, ETC., with respect to the
marketing of potatoes. This practice
has grown up, and is as follows, and
constitutes very serious grievance
l believe. The commission house will
agree to take carload Of potatoes
and it will be graded when it is load,
ed, but before the car arrives at the
terminal or primary market the price
drops or the bottom drops out of the
market. Therefore, the commission
house, in order to protect it's margir
of profit, will upon one pretext or an
other, grade the potatoes below a fail
grade and in this way avoid, or seel
to avoid, loss. There is no question
but there is real grievance on &C
count of this practice, and I believe
