DICKINSON
CITIZENS TO
RAISE FUNDS
Will Seek $4,000 to Meet
Deficit in State Normal
Building Fund

Dickinson, N. D., Dec. backed
by the state board of administration
and the state budget committee To-
cal business men have undertaken a
move to raise "a fund Of $4,000 to
finance the deficit incurred in the
erection Of the nor/lar school here.
Though there aill remain u few
minor details in arranging for the
money it is thought that these will
be worked out and that the propo-
sition will successfully be put over.
This action follows i conference
between President S. r. May of the
Normal and l.. r. Baird and state Of
iicials last week. The matter was
brought up before Il civic body here
Monday and an invitation was sent
to Bismarck asking the board Of ad-
to meet here next day
with local men. On Tuesday r. b.
Murphy, chairman Of the board, ii.
p. Goddard, j. A. Kitchen and F. E..
Diehl, members bf the board, met
here and pledged their support to the
local committee in raising the money.
This deficit was incurred when
payment was made OUT Of the appro-
priation received from the state IT,
old charges against a former appro-
priation amounting to over $ll 900.
let for the main building
were almost equal to the appropria-
ton and after the old debt had been
paid there was the shortage which is
now being raised. The contractors,
h however, would have made changes
in the building amounting to the sum
taken out but this was deemed mad
as the work would cost con-
siderably more at q later date when
it would have to be done.
1t was found that a guarantee to
the contractors Of about $4,000
would complete the work, everything
finished, and the amount is being
raised locally. The state officials,
however, have pledged their support
to ask.an appropriation by the next
legislature which will care for this.
The business men who have taken
this matter up and President May
are to be congratulated in their eff
forts and unless something unexpect-
ed turns up the arrangements for.
completing the building are all made.
1t is expected that work on the
building will be carried on in full
swing and it is probable that the
building will be ready for occupancy
some time in the early summer.
The board inspected the building
while here Tuesday and expressed
their satisfaction at the progress
that had been made.

Rock Island and Pacific Railroad
if improvements and facilities are
to be provided for sufficient tt
care for constantly growing traf'
fic, L.. C. Fritsch of Chicago, vice.
president in charge of operations
of that line, testified at the Inter
state Commerce Commission hear
ing here today.
First to take the stand today
aSas J. w. Scott of Gilby, N. d., q
Grand Forks county farmer, who
testified that during the war farm
ers in his state were engulfed in
a political experiment which re-
suited in their becoming connect
ed with many Enterprises such as
buying grain elevators, cooperative
commodity stores and other bust
ness undertakings.
Mention of the NOnpartisan Lea
que became quite frequent through
questioning when Examiner Keene
ruled that all political references
Be eliminated as not relavent to
the case. Mr.. Scott, who has
farmed his 9O0-acre tract for AZ
years, declared that the burden of
taxation has shifted from the rail-
roads and cities to the farmers and
that where the percentage of tax
es on farms before the war was
about 30 percent it is now 20 per-
cent while the railroads and towns
are on 80 percent basis.
Two other Northern Pacific rail-
way witnesses made statements in
WHICH they sought to disprove
statements made at Kansas City
by j. N. Hagan, supervisor of
weights and measures relative to
bankruptcy of farmers.
Frank Chen of St. Paul, attor-
ney for the road. declared he made
a special trip to North Dakota
to verify Mr.. Hagan's statement
that AZ Cass county farmers went
bankrupt in the four months of
August, September, October and
November, 1922, but found the
number to be only IL, of whom five
were actual farmers. Three Of
the five farmers were renters.
Taking up Mr.. Hagan's remark
that in Thelmf township, Burleigh
county, the place was "practical-
ly deserted now," L. r. Challoner
Of jamestown, N. D., travelling
freight agent of the Northern Pa
cific declared there never had been
a township settlement there but
that there are q taxpayers living
there at present, according to in
formation learned from county
authorities. He added that of the
10000 acres in the township only
1900 were under cultivation and
that the soil was light and sandy.
