farm BUREAU
TAKING BALLOT

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 13.-The Farm
Bureau federation Of North Dakota
is taking referendum ballot Of its
members on seven questions Of vital
importance and cital public interest"
as guide to the federation in formu-
lating a legislative program for the
coming session Of the state legisla-
ture, H. P. Fuller, state secretary,
announced today.
The questions follow:
al. Do you favor the management
of the state mill and elevator by a
non-political appointive board, operat-
ing under the merit system?
"The purpose Of this is to remove
as far as possible political interference
with the management Of the mill and
elevator and to get efficient manage
ment.
"The operation Of the mill and ele-
vator on the "merit system" would do
away with the possibility of politicians
demanding the appointment of favor
ties to positions without regard to
qualifications.
"2. Do you favor law permitting
the issuing Of negotiable warehouse
receipts for grain stored on the farm ?
Farm storage is the most econom-
ical storage of grain. A local eleva-
tor or a cooperative association Of
farmers organized for the purpose,
could be authorized to issue ware
house receipts for grain on the farm,
When has been properly safeguarded,
inspected and insured. These receipts
could then be used as collateral fo1
loazs.
"3. Do you favor modifying oul
presell warehouse act so that our ele'
vators and warehouses may operate
under the federal warehouse act with.
out the present conflict with a dup
lication Of our state laws?
"The federal reserve banks have NJ
warehouse receipts as collateral ex
cepting those issued under the Unitet
States warehouse act, which is NOR
strict in it's requirements than tn,
state law. There are certain conflict
and Implications between the presen
North Dakota law and the fedora
warehouse act, which must be remov
ed before an elevator in this state can
qualify satisfactorily under the Mort
Dakota and the federal law and thu
secure the benefit of this extende
credit and lower interests rates. Thi
may be Of special Importance in con
nection with any commodity market
ing or pooling plan.
Number of Banks
"a. Do you favor a law placing
limitation on the number of banks q
means Of lowering interest rate
and with the ultimate aim Of reducin
the number Of banks in comparison t
the population and natural resources
"An unnecessary overhead expense,
and the necessary investment in build
ings, fixtures, etc., and these must
paid for by charging higher rates Q

interest. In North Dakota, we have
one bank for little less than each
800 people. In the entire United States
the average is one bank to about each
1000 population. In many states, it is
the same. In Canada, taking each
subsidiary or bank building as a bank,
it is one bank to a little less than A.
900 population. In many European
countries it is one bank to each 1000
population. The natural resources of
a community should also be consider
ed in establishing the number of
banks.
"5. Do you favor extension of the
activities of the farm loan department
Of the Bank of North Dakota?
"The Federal Farm Loan bank can
at best, loan only small part Of the
money needed by our farmers on long
time payments at low interests rates.
The farm loan department of the
Bank Of North Dakota may be cx.
tended to meet this need.
Regarding Transportation
"6. Do you favor more equitable
transportation rates and railroad
tariff regulations?

JURY UPHOLDS
BUREAU AWARDS

Towner, N. D., Dec. 13.-Damages
in the amount of $10,S52.5o were as
sessed by a jury before Judge c. W..
Buttz in district court here against
Albert w. Ditmer and Henry G..
Mann, of Velva, in an action brought
by Soren and Annie Larson, parents
of Ankor Larson, who was accident
ally killed by a falling piece of coal
while employed in the mine operated
by the two defendants. The accident
occurred Nov 10, 1920.
The mine was owned by Ditmer,
who early in the fall of the year had
been negotiating with Mann for the
leasing of the property to the latter,
and the two defendants contested the
award of the Workmen's Compensa-
ton bureau, which was made in ac-
cordance with the lw providing that
where an employer has not paid his
insurance, the claimant or his de-
pendents may file their claim with
the bureau and it will determine the
amount to which they are entitled.
The constitutionality Of the right
of the compensation bureau to assess
awards was attacked but the objec-
tions were overruled and claim Of
$4,000 found for the parents of the
deceased.
Jury Trial Question Raised
I, It is said that several questions o1
law were raised for the first time il
this state by Attorney H. E. johnson
of Minot, for the plaintiffs, wh'
argued that the defendants were no
entitled to a jury trial because th'
matter had been fully settled by tn
workmen's compensation bureau, AM
that the findings Of the bureau w6r
not subject to review by jury trial
Also he made claim that deprivinI

in question but this portion of the
case was taken under advisement by
the court, but this feature will doubt
less be disposed of when the case
comes up at the regular term Of court
on application of the plaintiff to make
the temporary injunction permanent.
The case presents many interesting
angles, especially in view of the fact
that several other land owners in Gar.
field and other counties find themselves
in a situation similar to that of Mr..
Wulfsohn at this time. Doubtless the
final determination Of this case will
be carefully watched by several land
owners along the line Of the defunct

c|1ylwA1ER SYSTEM .~
BIDDERS ARE HERE

At the regular monthly meeting Of
the city council held last Monday eve
n ng an ordinance was read and passed
authorizing a bond issue of $75 900 to
provide for the construction of a new
water system for the city.
Alderman Kendrick and Attorney
Beardsley were appointed committee
to negotiate with DR.. Miller for right
Of way over his ranch for the tunnel.
The bill of C. W. Taylor for some
thing over $4,000 was presented for
damages to the Taylor residence, due
to tho leakage Of . city water main.
Judge Bell urged the payment Of the
claim, and Judge Beardsley opposed
payment by the city, on the ground that
the case is still pending in the su-
preme court. On motion by Alderman
Switzer, the Taylor bill was disallowed.
The matter of the construction of
the water system was discussed at con-
siderable extent. All expressed the
hope that the contractors would soon
be on the ground and start the construc-
ton work as soon as possible. Since
the adjournment of the meeting the
contractors have arrived in Glenwood
and are now busy constructing tenn
porary buildings and shelters, with the
expectation of starting ecavation work
on the tunnel some time next week

GOOD WORK FOR

Frank H. Bailey, secretary Of the
Aspen Chamber Of Commerce, believes
that great good can come to the West

Mr.. Bailey has taken the matter up
with Governor Shoup, who has referred
it to President Harding and Secretary
Hoover, and he hopes soon to learn
that his suggestion has been adopted.
He says it will mean much to the farm

TROUBLE OVER MID.
LAND RIGHT OF way

When is right of way not right
of way, or when does a tract of land
decided to a railway for right Of way
purposes cease 20 be a right of way,
and whose property does it become
when no longer used for right of way
purposes? Does the land in question
revert to the abutting owners when no
longer used for the purposes for which
it was conveyed,
These were some of the questions
which Judge Shumate was called upon
to consider when the injunction suit of
julius Wulfsohn vs.. Clyde G.. Noting
ham was recently brought to hearing
m the district court.
The case involved title to strip Of
land one hundred feet wide through the
Wulfsohn ranch, formerly the Morrow
| and Devereaux ranches near Glenwood,
this strip Of land for many years hav-
ing been used for right Of way pur-
poses by the Colorado Midland Rail
way company during the time that com
rany was operating its road but since
the road ceased to operate, this strip
has been unoccupied and unused.
Recently Mr.. Nottingham purchased
this strip of land Of A. E. Carlton, re-
ceiver of the defunct railroad, and be-
gan preparations for improving the
same, and in doing so it is alleged that
he blocked the roadway across said
strip, by which Wulfsohn enjoyed in
gress to his ranch, and that he ordered
Wulf9ohn to remove h;a ditches and a
pumping plant from this strip.
The result was that Wulfsohn,
through his attorneys, @. W. Darrow
and Noonan & Noonan, sought an in
junction against Nottingham, who was
defended in his action by j. W. Doll-
son.
When the case was heard, Judge Shu-
mate was called on to consider several
different phases of the passing Of title,
the question being raised as to the
character Of the title held by the Mid
land company for several years, and
also the right of the company to trans,
fer the property after it had ceased to
need and to use it for purposes for
which it originally acquired whatever
title it held to the property.
What will be the court g decision on
these different angles Of the question
Of title conveyance when the case comes
to square issue, Judge Shumate did
not Indicate, but, after admitting sew
eral exhibits in the way Of deeds by
which title was supposed to have passed
from the time the property was filed
on as government land down to the
present time, he sustained the petition
for temporary writ Of injunction
against Nottingham, restraining him
from interfering with the full, free and
unobstructed use and occupation by the
plaintiff Wulfsohn Of his pumping
plant, irrigation bitches, water supply
system and private roadway at any
and all points and places where any Of
same are upon the 100-foot strip Of
land in controversy, being formerly
the Colorado Midland right Of way.

close ON sheriff the unofficial returns
giving Baxter, Democrat, lead of
eight votes over George Winters, his

be made when all votes are in and the
