INDEPENDENTS VIEW

Governor Nestos is expected I'd
press the program he announced yes1

moved the application of the "Pitts7
burgh plus" practice of the steel
industry in the oil industry to the
detriment of the Northwest.
The Governor also took steps in an
effort to obtain reduction in tho
price of kerosene and lubricating oil J
declaring that reductions made irI
gasoline had not been applied to these
products. Reductions in kerosend
and crude oil, he asserted, would be
especially beneficial to farmers en-
gagged in harvesting and declared that
the reduction made in the price Of
gasoline should be applied on SINH
lar products.
The Governor cited figures in as
sorting the practice of the Standard
Oil Co. and also leading independents
in charging freight rates from an ar
bitrary point without regard to &C

North Dakota. He said that North
Dakota is paying freight rates from
Oklahoma on oil which come from
refineries in Montana and Casper
Wyoming, much shorter hauls.
A federal investigation and action
to end this practice is favored.
Independent oil dealers in thu
state, in conference with the Gov
ernor yesterday, declared that at the
present time, with the cut in gaso
line in North Dakota their profits
are at the vanishing point. The
Standard Oil Company, they assert
ed, could stand a heavy loss for
time but the Independent dealers
cannot.
While refusing to make any publid
statement the dealers presented fig
ures they said were reliable in ar
effort to show the public had mo-
been "gouged' on gasoline prices in
the last several months. The profit
per gallon of gasoline sold in Bis
marck by independents was figured
on selected dates as follows: Nov

Oyster Shells Bring Rich
Crops for Farmers

Burning and grinding oyster shells
into powder to make plants grow, is q
growing industry At the South. Arc
cent scarcity Of nitrates forced farmers
to look for some other fertiliser, and
they adopted the oyster. To use some
thing that lives atthe bottom Of the SEA,
the food Of starfsh, for improving
land seemed impossible at first, but in
the powdered shells were found quail
ties that enriched the soil and 90 they
are now being widely used. The shells
are burned on q Crate over q roaring
fire. They are hauled by wheelbarrow
to . conveyor which carries them 70 the
place called q pulverisef, where they
are mashed and ground into Ane dust,
ready for the farmer. This recently do
veloped industry has brought oyster
hunting to state where it is said to be
more profitable Than any other kind of
fishing.

MANDANN0W
Local Officials Discover Error
in Tax Reports to State

Complaints were voiced in Mandan
last week that the state board of
equalization had increased values on
Mandan city real estate too greatly.
Now, it appears that the state board
will make the same complaint.
New figures on the Mandan assess
ments were submitted to the state
board of equalization, after discovery
that errors had. been made in report
ing the valuations of the city of
Mandan by local officials in Mandan
and Morton county. The figures sub
mitted after the errors were correct
ed are higher than the amounts set
by the state board of equalization
when the first reports appeared too
low.
AS first reported the value of
Mandan residences was placed at
$448,3OO by the county board of
equalization, and the state board
raised this valuation to $98s,262. The
corrected figure of the county board
puts the value at $1,686, $50, several
hundred thousand dollars higher
than the state boards figures.
The Morton county officials at
first reported business structures
at $455,95O, but this figure was found.
in error, and the new value is $780,
400. The ststc board in the mean
time had increased the valuation to
$547,738.
The original report of the value
of town lots was $4l5,969. The state
board raised this to 1881 1898. The
corrected figures of Morton county
put the total at $945,523.
1t appeared not unlikely that the
state board would find the corrected
values submitted by the Mortoq coun-
ty board too high.

SAY BONUS is
UNFAIR BURDEN
ON PEOPLE
Industrial Board Declares II
Is Economically Tn
sound

New York, Aug. 21.-Opposition
to the proposed bonus for World
War veterans, on the grounds that
1t is economically unsound and
would impose an unfair burden on
taxpayers, is expressed In a re-
port just made. public by the Ma
tional ustrial Conference
Board.
1lhe report is the outcome of re-
searches conducted in anticipation
Of reintroduction of the bonus bills
in Congress in December.
1.-THE principle of granting spe-
cial compensation to special social
groups for losses or sacrifices in
Cured in a common emergency"
saws the report. Us Enwtse and
anti-social, and fraught with dang
elous possibilities" II
The findings were reached after
consideration OF data obtained
from the American Legion. the
United states Treasury, and other
authoritative sources.
sThe proposal" the. report con-
tinues, cannot he justified on
grounds of equity and fairness to
the veterans or to the general pop
ulatiOn, while it would lay upon
the country financial burden
which would adversely affect the
interests of the nation as we'll as
OF the veterans, and might tend to
hamper the nations necessary eff
forts in behalf of the incapacitat-
ed veterans at present and the
needy and aged veterans Of the fu-
turc."
The report estimates the prob
able cost Of the bonus at $4,000
100000, and adds that the pro-
posal wholly ignores" the $780,
100000 already received by some
veterans in State bonuses.
Direct comparison between
service men and civilians Is false"
1t asserts, because the factors on
which such comparison must be
made cannot be evaluated in eco
nomic terms. They were an in
evitable consequence of war and
were the result of the chance of
selection for service. Those at
home were equally subject to this
chance by virtue of the selective
draft"
Reviewing the argument that
the bonus is an economic need,
the Investigators hold that on this
grounds other classes whose earn
ings did not equal wartime living
costs would be equally justified in
asking adjusted compensation.

EARLY THRESHING SHOWS
FAIR YIELD NEAR HOP

Hope. N. D., Aug. 21-A heavy
rain Thursday stopped threshing
in this territory. The crews were
forced to lay off until the shocks
could dry. Rigs may be able to re-
sumo today.
All outfits are now threshing
and the grain has started to come
to the elevators.
The yield is still a matter of
speculation as only small amount
has been threshed. However some
threshers state the yield in this
territory will not come up to last
years yield. To offset this state
ment one farmer threshed a piece
of Kota wheat that went 20 BUSH
els to the acre.
Thus far there has been an
abundance of labor here and the
going wage has been from $3.50
to 81 a day for threshing.
