Editor Tribune:

Editor Tribune:
The committee of the Dickinson
Town Criers club appointed to draft
resolutions in regard to the regu-
lations of the dairy commission pro-
viding cream grading effective May
]. have studied with interest the re-
action of Mr.. Reynolds as it APP
pears in the Bismarck Tribune un-
der date of April 28, to the resolu-
Tons presented to the state de-
/ partlhent of agriculture and labor
! 1t appears to the committee that
the published article creates a
| decidedly wrong impression.
First: the authorities quoted arc
all creamery men who will largely
benefit by the proposed regulations.
We would inquire if it is not Il
fact that no where is producer
quoted and that the grades and
regulations were proposed and pre-
scented by creamery men and with
! out consultation with producers or
CARNATIONS?
Second: He states that the
'onion" season lasted but 1G day..
These. doubtless, are the records
, kept by some creamery for theil
own purposes and covers only the
period when the onion flavor is very
bad and not the period over which a
flavor can be detected. The regu-
lations provide: Rejected cream
that which has wild onion, french
! weed, rag weed, potato and other
objectionable feed flavors," giving
to the purchaser, the cream buyer
and creamery man a right to CLASH
fly as rejected" any cream hav-
ing even slight faint of onion,
french weed, rag weed or potato
Such taints will be pcrceptible all
through the months of April, May,
June and July. Especially out here
on the Slope where the pastures
arc short.
Third: He quotes creamery men
to the effect that the onion faint
cannot be removed. We recognize
that it cannot be entirely removed
but by blending and processing it

REGULATING UTILITIES

Commissioner Mlholland in a communication published
IN this issue takes exception to statements made ed
Utilities
However, The Tribune and Mr. Mlhoand are in complete
accord on two points in controversy He believes Bis
marck should and operate it's water system and
that 1t should provide its own power for pumping.
In commenting upon the cancellation the contract for
pumping water with the Hughes Electric company, The
Tribune said it was favorable contract but Mr. Miholand
defends the cancellation the ground that delivery of cur
rent was being made at less than cost.
When the recent order of the commission made
tribune published fact connection with the cancel
atlon of the water pumping contract Never any time
at stake.
The people, however, may have their ideas has
The Tribune of the advisabIy of boosting the
water rates the people of Bismarck When the
Of the raroa Y commission was handed down increasing
every pertinent fact involved in the issue.
There be no valid defense of the recent cancellation
paying for such service. When Mr. Mihoand states that
the schedules of rates established by the Commission
that the City Bismarck has never paid for it's water what
other consumers have and result individual
have had to pay more for water than they would have if the
city had paid its just share Statistics in other cities
that about twenty five per cent of the operating
water plant met by general taxation through the city
ing for fire protection street sprnkng and other services
performed
Under city owned plant these charges will be lifted
for specific services performed Under the private utility
such has never been done The city has enjoyed much lower
rates than the private individual taking the position how
ever that such service was not adequate enough to be paid
for at higher rate.
The board of railroad commissioners has not sufficient
funds at hand to handle properly the utility problems It's
course has been highly unsatisfactory far the Bismarck
water concerned Rate cases seldom get anywhere
and pile the costs both for the utilities and the cities
citizens involved Home rule in such matters would be
better The cities would get much better service and
quicker action if they controlled their utilities than under
the present system.
All facts in reference to the decisions of the state COM
mission the water issue have been published in The
Tribune and there need to eerate them here the
fact unacceptable that such decisions have settled no
and have left the people thoroughly Disguised with such
regulation.
This dissatisfaction wth~sate regulation of public util
ties should be reflected in the bond election by ping up
the orty for city owned plant whose every activity
should be strictly independent Of regulation the part
of the Board of Railroad Commissioners !

A CONSERVATIVE STEP

Washington reports that the
radical members of congress are
planning to get action in the next
congress toward stopping the bust
ness Of five-tO-four supreme court
decisions annulling social welfare
legislation. That means, of course,
the submission OF 4 constitutional
amendment.
That is all right, but this task
should not be left to the radical
members. 1t should not be stamp
ed as a radical measure. Its
passage should not be labeled a
radical victory.
1t is measure of true conser-
vatism. and conservatives with
vision will support it and help to
put it through as a conservative
measure.
1t must be plain to the dullcst
that five-to-fOur supreme court
decision annulling law that near
ly everybody believes to be a right
law and necessary to human safety
and well-being promotes radical
ism. 1t feeds the radicals arsenal
of destructive arguments. He
says: "The present system is
stacked against you. 1t bulwarks
the, selfish interests of a few. and
neglects the common interest of
the many. 1t eXalts property and
debases humanity" And then he
can point to such decisions as that
in the child labor case and that on
the District of Columbia law for a
minimum wage for working wo-
men, and adds: There. | told
you So"
In point of fact, Il real radical
wouldn't want this situation cured.
He would want it to keep on feed
ing the desperation out of which
radicalism grows.
A law of human mercy that has
back Of it bot; branches of con-
gress, the president, and four out
of the nine justices of the supreme
court ought to stand. 1t ought not
to be possible virtually for one
man in the supreme court to de-
termine the issues of such legisla-
ton. A provision that no law can
be annulled by the supreme court
unless more than five of the nine
judges vote to annul it is not only
needed. but its adoption will be a
measure of true conservatism, and
very disastrous to radica lism.-

Another battle in Bing Bang Land
No one was killed, however, 70,

he never dies.
Nancy had to help with nursing
and Nick had to help the Tinker
Man with doctoring, and they were
both SO busy they hardly had time
to cat.
Private Buttons was one of tho
wounded ones.
He had also lain in the rain fol
two hours after the battle, SO he not
only had to have new right hand
and new left foot, but whole
new suit of clothes also.
Right beside him in the hospital
was Genera. Celia Braid, who, also
had been wounded. The poor man
had lost his arms again. as the rain
melted the glue where he had been
mended before and of they came.
New arms meant new sleeves, and
as the new red in his sleeves was
brighter than the old red in his coat

General Gold Braid had nothing
to say to Private Buttons, but stared
straight ahead in naughty manner.
Private Buttons, being a we'll
trained soldier, did not turn his
eyes, bat stared straight ahead, like
wise. Not word did they speak.
At last they were all dry and
ready to 60 back to their places in
the army.
General Gold Braid thanked Nancy
and Nick and the Tinker Man and
said goodby.
Private Buttons followed, keeping
ten steps behind the general.
At last they both came to the
place where the army was.
Then most amazing thing hap
pened! The army saluted Private
Buttons and never even looked at
General Gold Braid.
Because--Nick had made a mis-
take and painted the generals silver
star on Private Buttons shoulder!
General Gold Braid hadn't so much

PEOPLES FORUM
FOR CITY OWNED PLANT
Editor Tribune:

I Editor tribune:
In the April 2Sth issue of you,
paper, under the caption of "An I'm.
portant Factor" you make compar-
ison of the street. lighting rates
and the rates for pumping water, in
the cities of Bismarck and Grand
Forks. You also state that the
| Board of Railroad Commissioners
Cancelled Il very favorable contract
for pumping the water into the re-
scrvoirs at oneh half the present cost.
1t appears to the writer, as Il
member Of the Board of Railroad
Commissioners, that in commenting
upon matters of public interest you
should state all OF the facts and not
leave the public to draw its own
conclusions. - 5Attt. !.
As Il tax payer and property own
err in Bismarck, | am vitality inter
csted in the proposed bondissuc and
will state without qualification that
l am heartily in favor of the move
mcnt instituted by the City Commits
sion. | believe the City should not
only own and operate the water
work system, but should also make
provision for furnishing it's own
power for pumping,
To return to the subject of pump
ing water. feel that in fairness to
the Commission you should state
why the rates for pumping water
were increased. A copy of the opin-
ion in this case was mailed to the
Bismarck Tribune and you should
be in possession of the facts. The
contract, which you state was cam
celcd, was entered into at time
when prices of materials and sup
plies were low. When the investiga-
ton was made by the Commission it
was found that the rate for pump
manufacture of electricity and that
as a result the individual consumers
were being Disseminated against by
being required to make up the loss
sustained by the so-called Favorable
contract"

reduced rate because of the fact
that it is a large consumer, but I'M
less the electricity is furnished on
the of-peak load, the rate to the
City should be substantially the
same as the rate to individual con-
sumers. Under no circumstances
should municipality be furnished
electricity at the expense of the in
dividual consumers. This is not
only contrary to the spirit of the
Utility Law, which provides that the
Commission shall remove discrimin-
alton, but it is manifestly unfair
from the standpoint of justice.
The schedule of rates as establish
ed by the Commission placed all
consumers on the same basis thus
enabling either large or small
consumer to enjay the same rights
and privileges.
In regard to the rates in Grand
Forks, | desire to call your atten-
tion to the fact that the Commission
has entered upon an investigation
Of the rates in that city, one hear
ing having been held and further
testimony to be TAKEN on May 4th.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1923-05-02

1t may be that the rates in Grand
Forks are too low, or there NAV be
operating conditions which differ
materially from those which prevail
in Bismarck and which justify the
rates in Grand Forks.
| respectfully request that you
publish this communication in the
current issue of your paper.
Yours very truly,
Frank Milholand.

Pierre Wibaux was born in Rou-
baix, France, where his family had
ben prominent for centuries in the
manufacture of textiles. 1t was the
intention of his father that young
Wibaux should follow in his foot
steps and manage the textile business
and he was educated to this end. He
was sent to England for a finishing
year, and while there learned of the
opportunities in the livestock bust
ness in western America. He man
aged to get his fathers consent, and
in 1888, without any knowledge of
the business, came to what was then
known as the "bad lands" of Mon
tana. He spent months looking into
the cattle business, and more months
in the stock yards at Chicago. Then
he came back to the "bad lands"
bought a little herd of cattle, took
care of them himself, living in lit
tie "dug OUT where Wibaux now
stands. At the end of five years
