PROPOSES CHANGES IN
STATE PRINTING LAWS

Bismarck, N. D., July 31.-Recom-
mendation that the next legislature
revise to some extent rates for legal
advertising is recommended by E. M.
Crary, state printer, in the annual re-
port for his department.
AT the last session of the legisla-
tu1e a law was passed fixing the leg
al rates of printing, and owing to the
fact that the bill was not properly
drawn, and owing to the fact that a
law was placed on our statute books
which makes a very unfair rate for
legal printing" says Mr.. Crary, II
have reference to the double-pay mat
ter. The intention was to allow the
printer extra compensation for setting
up rule and figure work, but the law
reads a publisher may charge a dou-
BILE for running legal matter each
time it runs, and where legal notices
run for several weeks as is the case

charge for running it. This law should
be amended to rectify this condition"
Mr.. Crary also goes on record as
opposing the establishment of state
printing plant, expressing belief that
it would not be successful.
ut is only fair to say that we be-
lieve that the state during the past
has been getting its printing done at
a very low figure, possibly rs percent
of what the same printing would cost
in the open Market" he says.
While Mr.. Crary was about it he
might have stated that one of, the
things that should be abolished is the
law requiring label on printing done
for state institutions. Under this law
all the work for the state is only done
by half dozen shops in the state

DOUBLE BARREiED PARTY
WRECKING NJ.

There is enough dynamite in the
Fordney-McC umber bonus scheme
now threatening to dishonor the Unit
ed States Congress to wreck the party
responsible for it in several States if
it becomes law.
The American people are not going
to let five billions of dollars be taken
from their pockets by lawmakers that
want in this way to further their
own political ambitions-the Ameri-
can people are not going to have such
an unprincipled thing done to them
and not rise up on election day
against the iniquity.
But the colossal bonus raid on the
Treasury is not the only party wreck
ing job the Fordneys and McCumbers
are at in Congress. There is enough
dynamite as we'll in the Fordney- Nc
Cumber tariff to wreck the party re-
sponsible for it in several States if
it becomes a law.
The American people are not going
to be taxed as they never were taxed
before by an insufferably high cost of
living caused by irrational tariff du-
ties that will drive up the prices of
the necessaries Of .life-the American
people are not going to become the vic
tins of the excessive Fordney-Mc-
Cumber tariff duties without making
it cost the party that commits such an
economic outrage and political blum
der many seats in the House of Rep
resentatives and in the Senate.
Democrats to man know this and
are already congratulating one an
other on the brilliant prospects the
Fordney-McCumber leadership in Con-
gress is creating for the Democ'SSic
party. Hundreds of thousands of Re-
publican voters know it and are ask
ing one another what this tariff lun-
acy and bonus making can be that
drives the party in control of the U.
IS. government to course that is lit
tie short of committing political sui
eide.
Yet the Fordneys and the MtCum-
bers stick it out all the harder that
they are going through both with
their bonus iniquity and with their ia
riff monstrosity, though their action
should tumble their party in ruins
from the Eastern seaboard to the
Golden Gate. . ..,-.s
What, indeed, is this madness that
moves the Congress representative of
the great Republican party to allow
the Fordney caliber and type in the
House and the McCumber caliber and
type in the Senate to go on unbridled
with their reckless, wild, irrational
policy of double barreled party wreck

The navies Of the great maritime
powers have been limited as to their
future size and agreements have been
reached regarding the destruction Of
battleships already af1oat and the.
abandonment of tremendous naval
building programs necessitating ex--
penditures annually of hundreds of
millions of dollars. The naval appro-.
priations for the next fiscal year are
$128,6O8, 900 less than they were last
year. Had not the Washington con-
ference provided for an abandonment,
of the building program the appro-
priations for the next year would
have been many hundred millions lar
ger than last year. The reductions Of

,, ture after all nations begin to expert
ence the full effects Of the naval holi-
day. .~ .....
Seven treaties were formulated at.
this conference. They were submit
ted by President Harding to the Sen
ate February 10, 1922. Their ratifi--
cation was completed by the Senate.
within 40 days from that date, rec
ord of prompt cooperation with the
Chief Executive in treaty making that:
has never been equalled in the his
tory of the United States Senate.
These are the more practical and
material results which have followed
the Washington conference, but great
err than these has been the effect upon
! the worlds mental processes. The
conference changed the thought of the
leading nations from preparation for
war to construction for peace, from
! increased taxation for armament to
reduction Of expenses and a lessening
of the burdens upon all peoples.
The Washington conference by COM
mon consent of all mankind marked
| the beginning of a new era in world
affairs, presaged the dawn Of that day
when international differences will be
amicably adjusted rather than sub
mitted to the arbitrament of war. The
conception of the Washington confer
ence and the formulation and ratifica-
ton Of it's traties-in all of which the
President, his official counselors, his
Secretary of State and the United
States Senate took leading part =
emphasized the fact that the Repub-
lican party is the party of construc-
tive craftsmanship and that America
under Republican administration is
leading the world back to paths of
peace and sanity. .

ing an adequate supply of efficient
farm labor in businesslike and sys-
tematic way.
Up in Cavalier county county la
Dor board has been organized. The
purpose of the board is to procure
enough laborers for the harvest fields
to meet all the demands of the farm
ers Of the county; to protect the en-
ployers Of farm labor against unlaw-
full organizations; to protect the la
borers from intimidation or abuse; to
stabilize wages and working condi-
tons; to promote fair days pay for
fair days work; and to see that the
workers are paid promptly and are
given fair treatment.
The board membership is composed
of farmers, land owners and thresher-
men and such others as may be in
Guided. The members elect board
composed of one representative Of
each voting precinct and these direc-
tors choose a board of nine managers.
This executive committee fixes wage
scales from time to time, and any
member who pays a higher rate of
wages than that recommended may
be suspended. ...s..-
The county is divided into patrol
districts, with a patrolman appointed
for each. 1t shall be his duty to make
regular reports as to the number of
men needed in his district and report
any violation OF the rules of the or
ganization. ~.
If the organization avoids the mis-
take Of becoming merely an associa-
ton Of employers working to keep
down wages to the lowest possible
minimum, it has great field for use
fitness. That is a danger which must
be guarded against. North Dakota
has had all the experience it needs
with the poorer class of harvest la
bor.~ The aim in this state should be
: to attract a better class of men in
place of the "transients" to which we
are so accustomed. Harvest workers
, of the ordinary I. w. W. type are not
wanted in North Dakota. We do want
workers who have a definite aim in
view, and who come here looking for
an opportunity to become permanent
settlers. Such men should be assured
of protection against the intimidation
methods of the I. w. w. and they
should be paid wages sufficient to
prove attractive.
If the Cavalier county labor board
has that aim in view-and apparent
ly it has-the plan might we'll be
adopted by other counties. On the
other hand, if it aims merely to keep
wages down it will undoubtedly result
in swelling the membership of the
zone big union" of harvest workers.

OUR BUMPER CROP

Do you know that North Dakota
will produce this year more spring
wheat than any state in the union?
Do you know that North Dakota
will produce this year more rye than
any other two states?
Do you know that North Dakota
will produce this year half of the
flax grown in the United States?
Harvesting is now well under way
in North Dakota, and nothing but
hail is to be feared during the next
few days. The crops are "made" and
they promise to be bumper ones. The
first threshing returns are available,
and they are fully up to expectations.
The rye harvest is at it's height and
wheat and other grains are being cut
in all parts Of the state. By the end
of this week the wheat harvest will
be at it's height.
And not only have the crops come
through without serious damage from
rust and fulfilled the glowing pros
poets of month ago, but the few re-
turns available so far show that vir-
tually all grains are overrunning in
weight and the quality of the yields
will be in keeping with the quantity.
North Dakota has real cause for
thanksgiving this year. Probably no
state in the union will be more for
tunate in the matter of crops. No
state will equal this in the per capita
Of new wealth produced from the soil.
In world torn with war, revolution,
famine and pestilence, America stands
out as the most favored nation. And
in the United States no state should
be more prosperous than our own dur
ing the coming II months.
It should not be the cause for gloat-
ing or boastihg, but it should stir pro-
found gratitude in the heart Of every
citizen, and it should make the aver
age man ashamed of discomfort. This
year at least we should have the most
evenly distributed prosperity and the
greatest freedom from actual want
Of any district on the globe. Surely
such a state is worth claiming as a
home. Surely such state should in
spire the greatest loyalty and the
highest grade Of citizenship. Forum.

not interested in wool growing to
keep the tariff on wool down. Sena-
tor Knute Nelson, of Minnesota, is
one of the insurgents to fight the
wool tariff, which seems to be the
pet measure of a bloc of wool grow

Senator Smoot at Washington. These
senators have a selfish interest in the
wool schedule of the tariff bill at
Washington, and do not care a plea
yune what becomes of the sovereign
people so long as they produce wool

big dividends for them. People are
paying big enough price for their
clothing now without having more
burdens placed on their backs by a
few senators whose main interest in
the wool tariff is for what returns it
will bring back to them. If this tar
if bill goes through the people can
rest assured that the manufacturers
of clothing will put the price up all
