in which it was reported by the mill

amendments having been added. All
other legislative business was side

preparation and other bills.
The bill directs the secretary of

will meet constantly increased de-

fields, although they had produced
approximately $25O,O00,O0O worth Of
oil to date, had not yet returned the
amount of money invested, in them.
The supply Of gasoline in the
United States, Mr.. Shoup placed at
less than enough to rl.ct the nations

augmented by oil coming, in storage,

but he doubted if this addition would
more than meet consumption.

DUIS STRIKES
AT LIBELS ON
N. D. GROWERS
Declares Attempt Is Made to
Discredit Wheat Growers
BY False Stories

Grand Forks. n. D.. March 5.-"Ma-
licious and libelous propaganda is
being broadcasted by certain inter-
csts against the North Dakota Wheat
Growers Association. according to
Geo. +. Duis, president, which is be-
ing traced to its source with view
of prosecuting the guilty parties.
These attacks are aimed to dis
credit the wheat pooling movement
by eXaggcrating the cost of oper-
alton and disappearing figures
relevant to this cost as issued by the
association" he asserted
1T has been broadcast that the
operating cost for the 1929 pool was
1877 cents per bushel, which rightly
understood is correct. but which in
fairness needs further explanation,
when compared to the cost of sell
ing and handling grain through pri-
vatc agencies.
The truth Of the matter is that
the actual selling cost of the pooled
wheat was "a cents per bushcl, while
1913 cents are direct charges, repre-
senting the cost for physical hand
ling of wheat beyond the control of
grain dealers, farmers elevators. or
pooling associations, and therefore
not subject to comparison. The 1877
cents referred to also includes one
half cent reserve, which is liquid
asset, and cannot be listed as an
expense. Of the direct charges re-
fcrrcd to .0lo cents per bushels was
paid members for storing grain on
the farm, while elevators received
.075 cents per bushel as handling
and storage charges, by far the lar
gcst single item Of expense.
We do not consider the operating
cost of .O24 cents as ex;,orbitant,
considering the small volume han
died, especially in view of the fact
that the Association saved for the
farmers premiums ranging from 5 to
10 cents per bushcl which formerly
represented profits Of grain dealers
besides the ] y cents sales commits
sion,' Mr.. Duis concluded.

WAR SURPLUS
EQUIPMENT is
HIGHWAY GAIN
Chief Engineer of Highway
Commission Sees Saving
BY Use of Trucks
CAN OBTAIN MORE
Surplus Material Offered BY
War Department. Says
Chief Engineer BLACK

Surplus war materials allotted to
the state of North Dakota are being
disposed of as rapidly as possible to
the various counties Of the state for
use in road work, according to w.
G.. Black, chief engineer of the state
highway commission. There is the
likelihood he indicated today that
considerable more material will be
distributed by the War Department
to the various states for this pur-
pose.
The War Department, according TO
Mr.. Black, has on hand 1920 of the
5-ton caterpillar tractors, 800 of the
lotion caterpillar tractors and about
5000 trucks one to fivc-ton capacity
that may be transferred to the De
partment of Agriculture and then be
rcdistributed to the various states.
In the distribution Of war surplus
materials the tractors and trucks
have hecn of more benefit to this
said Mr.. Black, and the demands
from the various counties has al
ways exceeded the number of tractors
made available to this state
The requirements for the War
Department are only 702 5-ton tract
ors and 536 lotion tractors and the
balance on hand, if not assigned for
road work, would soon become abso-
lutely useless on account of being
out Of date and the design of these
trucks and tractors has been materi-
ally changed so that in Il year or SO
more they probably will be consider
ed obsolete.
A bill has been introduced in Con-
gress transferring to the various
states for road building purposes
about $32 100000 of tractors. trucks
and other army equ ipmcnt, including
5000 motor vehicles, 1000 5-ton
tractors and 500 mobile machine shop
units, he said. The tractors alone,
he said. cost Sl0,0OO,000, and most of
them never have been used.
The trucks aare scattered over the
country in storage at the various
army camps and in some instance
have had poor protection. The 5000
motor vehicles represent AN eXpen-
dlturc OF Sl5.0O0,OOO, and their trans
fer to the states for road building
work would not handicap the pres
ent plans of the War Department Of
maintaining peace-time army.
In the proposed transfer of these
tractors, trucks and machine shop
uniLs to the states for road building
purposes il Will represent a saving
of approximately S32 100000 in public
expenditures as the states in most
Instances will be required to procure
TINS material in the open market, if
it IS not transferred to them from
war surplus Mr.. Black said. 1T is
the only way the public will get some
measure of return for the money
expended in wartime period.
North Dakota's allotment from this
transfer, he said, would be about 35
tractors and 80 trucks.

ANDREWS INDIGNANT

THE Progressive Of John Andrews
is indignant over the withdrawal of
LaFOllctte's name. The newspaper
casts slams at Senator Lynn j. Fra
zier and Rep. J. H. Sinclair. 1t also
intimates that the suggestion that
Roy Frazier, who had declared for
Coolidge, take charge of LaFollette's
campaign was not made in the inter
est of LaFollette. And the sugges-
ton, according to "The Progressive"
emanated from Senator Frazier.
Regarding the Frazier-Sinclair tCle-
gram suggesting LaFollette's name
be withdrawn it says:
ut is great pity-and great
shame-that our representatives in
Washington, who should have all they
can afford, to there, take time to in
dulge in this we'll meant, long dis
tance meddling. 1t, would seem az if
the people of North Dakota and the
leaguers and progressives might otca-
siohally. know what they want and
be trusted to proceed in their natural
bent, without being required to walk
in leading strings.
