NEW SONGS
] AREFhATURE
OF CONCERT
Men Show Excellent Dramatic
Ability in Portrayal of
Selections

Something new in song features
and clever, dramatic work appeared
in the program of the Mems Giee
club of North Western College
Naperville, ILL.,, last night at the
Auditorium. A we'll filled house
witnessed the entertainment. {
Probably the take off on a German
band and the imitation of the "Mis.
souri, Nightingale" proved the most
delightful to the audience, for they
were something new. The acrobatics
of the leader of the German band were
excellent while the cooperation OF
the "drums" with that Of the less
conspicuous instruments of the band
brought forth roars of mirth from
the audience. Some Of the take offs
on old and much loved songs of the
American public completed the hu-
morous side Of the program while a
number of classic and semi-classic
numbers broadened the program and
made it adaptable to the various
tastes Of the audience.
The chorus work of the young men
was excellent while Mr.. Pinney as an
accompanist did much to put the
various selections across in their best
style.
!. The violin solo by John G. Troll
man was an excellent number as were
the band selections which came as a
surprise to the audience. Alvin C.

MANDAN ROAD
BIDS HELD UP
UNTIL AUG. IS
Must Await Action Upon Pro
tests Against Paving of
Streets and Road

Seven bidders PRESENTED figures to
the county commissioners on the
paving on the three quarters of a
mile from the east end dyke to and
beyond the Northern Pacific under
pass and street paving at the meet
ing of the Morton County Commits
sioners Monday evening.
No contract will be let before Au-
gust Is, it was said today, because
protests had been filed and under the
law it is necessary to postpone the
award of a contract until the 18th.
The bidding by the contractors for
concrete paving was as follows:
Schruth WEIGH Co., Minneapolis con-
crete $l75,291.30; asphaltic 1885,
011.30; S. Burch and Sons, Fargo,
concrete, $l68,137.3O; bitulithic,
$171,O17.30; w. E. Kennedy, Fargo
concrete, $166,744.1O; Miller Hutchin-
son Co., La Moure, $160,O44.5O; Hag-
CART Const., Co., Fargo concrete $685.
273.45, bitulithic $171,S73.45; Wood
rich Const. Co., Minneapolis, con-
crete $157,213.45; Mcguire Blakesley,
Great Falls, concrete $178,645.5O.
The bids on the paving show Wood
rich Construction company as low on
concrete which the majority of the
city commissioners appear to favor.
The bids were the lowest opened
anywhere in North Dakota according
to State Engineer w. G. Black and
the contractors.
The bids received by the county
commissioners on the section of the
Mandan- Bismarck highway which it is
proposed to pave this fall from the
dyke to- q point hey nd the subway
beneath the tracks were slightly low
er due to the smaller amount Of
work. While bids have not been tab
ulated it was thought that Miller
Hutchinson we're the lowest bidders
with Woodrich Construction company
second.
Wednesday, Aug. Is has been set
by the city commissioners as the date
for final action on the paving.

SOUTH DAKOTA
GOVERNOR TO
SELL GASOLINE
~ ssbf,
State Goes Into Business Be-
cause Price Is Too High,
He Declares

Pierre. S. D., Aug. S.-GovernOl
McMaster yesterday issued orders
to the state supply depot at Mitch
ell to sell gasoline to the public al
lG cents per gallon, terming the
Price of gasoline in South Dakota
as highway robbery" Charging
that the STANDARD Oil company was
reaping nearly 100 per cent profit
on it's price Of 26 cents per gallon
the governor urged each commun.
lty to take action looking toward
the purchase of gasoline in carload
lots in order to bring down to Ii
cents per gallon, the price in all
parts of South Dakota.
) Governor McMaster in a formal
statement, sud:
"On investigation this morning
find that gasoline can be purchased
in carload lots FOB in various
parts of the state at approximately
IA cents per gallon, and that the
retail price over the state today
averages .266 cents per gallon.
This shows profit of nearly 100
'per cent, which Is unreasonable,
unfair and unjust:
Excess Profit Charged
THE records show that during
the last year and half in the
state Of South Dakota $4,000, 900
ga llons Of gasoline were consum-
eC. There has been an excessive
profit on an average Of 10 cents per
gallon on this total amount, max
ing approximately $6,OOO,0OO to
100000 excess profits taken from
the people of this state. This Is no
more or less than highway rob-
berry. ...
The local Independent dealers
are not responsible for this condi-
ton OF affairs as the retail price Is
regulated by the Standard Oil COM
pany and the independent dealers
fill their gas orders at such prices
as the Standard Oil company die
tate.
II trust that the citizens in the
various sections of the state will
Immediately take this matter uu
and form associations for the .pur-
chase of gasoline in carload lots,
and reap the benefit of the lower
prices until such time as the deal
els in gasoline cease their policy
CT greed and avarice."

Il came down here prepared to
beat the old charges" he said.
1--WE knew you could" said Mr..
Bippus.
Mr.. Sinkler then asked for time in
which to consider the new charges
and the Indiana attorneys readily as
scented to postponement until
o'clock today. Governor Nestos was
scheduled to meet with the board of
equalization at that hour but said he
wanted to dispose of the Olson case
as promptly as possible.
Indiana Caused Delay
Judge Lindsey, at his hotel, asked
concerning reports that Governor Nc
Cray of Indiana had criticized North
Dakota authorities, denied any blame
rested in this state.
"As matter Of fac. any delay &C.
casioned has been by our people and
not by Governor Nestos," he said.
The old charges were quashed by
the Indiana court and we could not
act on them. Governor McCray had
delayed action and asked postpone
ment Of the hearing because Olson
had made some promises to pay
money to the bank and the Governor
thought that if the people got their
money it would be better than prose-
cution."

NEW BODY TO
SUCCEED Mp.
IN MINNESOTA?
Former Close Townley Work.
er< Is Member of New
Minnesota Organization

I St. Paul, Aug, 8.--An organization
obviously intended to supplant the
Nonpartisan League in Minnesot,
for political action was formed Mon
day with the official title of FEEDER
alton of Farmcr-Labcr Clubs Of Mimi
! esota.
Officers Of the new league are N
s. Randall, president; Julius J. Rel.
ter, vice president; Joseph Gilbert
secretary; l.. A. Fritsche; treasurer
Initiation dues are 1926 and an
nual dues So, making the total cost
$5.25, somewhat less expensive than
was the Nonpartisan League. Wives
Of members may join for 80 cents
and are not required to pay annual
dues. Of the 1925 some Is cents is
for subscription to club papers that
may be designated or acquired.
Long Connected With League
Randall and Gilbert have long
been connected with the Nonpartisan
League. Reiter is mayor Of Roch-
ester and a former candidate for
Congress in the First district. Frit-
sche is mayor of New Ulm, candi-
date for the Farmer Labor nomina-
ton at the recent Senatorial primary
and prospective Farmer-Labor can
didate for Governor at the 1924 cleo
ton.
If the new organization is as sue
cessful as the Nonpartisan league in
obtaining members, it will have a
fund in excess Of $275,OOO before the
1924 campaign, exclusive Of individual
subscriptions that may be made dur
ing the campaign.
Since the Imprisonment of A. c..
Townley and Gilbert for alleged OBJ
position to the World war and the
consequent dethronement of Town
ley within the league, the Nonparti-
san league has been waning in Min
nesota. The new organization is in
tended, its organizers say, to defray
the costs Of the 1924 campaign and
pay the unpaid debts incurred by the
campaign committee in
the recent senatorial campaigns.
The federation is organized, it is
officially stated, "for the purpose of
crystallizing into club units the pro.
gressive voters of Minnesota regard
less of vocation. It is not to antag-
onize but rather to harmonize all
existing farmer and labor organiza-
tlons and to supply the needed chan
nels through which all progressive i
citizens may centralize their political
power"

such election.
1--WE think that the legislature in
tended that the provisions of the Cor
rupt Practices Act should apply to all
elections ut which any question or
proposition was submitted to the cleo
torate. In other words, we think that
the legislature in enacting the Cor
rupt Practices Act intended that the
provisions of that Act should apply
to all elections thereafter held in
the state. The legislature, however,
in the Act itself indicated that GER
tain provisions should be applicable
to elections of public officers, and
other provisions applicable to all
elections without regard to whether Il
involves the choice of public Of
ficer or the approval or rejection of
a certain measure or proposition, or
the determination of any other ques-
ton, submitted to the voters at an
election. AS already indicated, it is
manifest that when the legislature
enacted that Corrupt Practices Act, it
could not have had the election of an
official newspaper in mind, as no
such election was then held. Hence,
obviously the lawmakers could not at
that time have considered whether
an official newspaper should be deem

view of the Act. And we are not at
all satisfied that they manifested any

officer"
What Is Public Officer?
After discussing the legal defini-
tion and view of what constitutes
public officer the court says:
1T is difficult to see how these con-
siderations can apply to an official
newspaper. No restriction is placed
upon the disposition of such news
paper. If the property is owned
by a corporation, the stock may be
sold, and the newspaper come under
new management, and it's policies be
completely changed. The same is true
If the newspaper is owned by an in
dividual or by partnership. $50
I'm the view we take of the case.
however, it is unnecessary to deter
mine whether the election of an Off
cial newspaper is the election of an
officer, or an election involving "a
measure, within the purview of the
Corrupt Practices Act"

prohibition will find small comfort in the recent action of the New York legislature in repeating the state enforcement act. It is the action merely of a single legislature, albeit large one, and it does not follow necessarily that there will be a stampede to the wet ranks among O. ther lawmakers of the Union. Tn fact it is doubtful even if the voters of New York, if given the opportunity would indorse the action of their own legislature. The prohibition law has taken firm root in the country. Prohibition reformers glory in the fact that they were able to put the Eighteenth amendment over, and they are as strongly organized today as when the fight was on. In addi- tion to their own forces, they now have on their side the powerful pro- hibition organization numbering thou sands of well paid workers, all of whom naturally would vote dry as long as there remained chance for them to continue in office. And, whether they admit it or not, the re- formers also have the support of the bootleggers of the country, more numerous than the combined forces of the Prohibitionists and enforce ment officers. So long as these three powerful influences continue to work to keep the volstead act intact there will be no modification of the dry law, regardless of an occasional legislative expression in favor of re- taxation.
