"Pay-as-you-use"

A man who drives his automobile
$4,000 miles during the year gets
five times as much use out of our
highways as the man who drives his
car only 5000 miles. A gasoline
tax would equalize this difference,
requiring the man who drives the
most to pay the most in highway
taxes. In other words, the farmer
who uses his car largely for the pur-
poses of occasionally driving to
town wouldn't be compelled to pay
as high a tax On the same make OF
car as the man in town who drives
hundreds of miles every week.

it meets in special session next
Tuesday, will consider the applica-
tion of Roland Cans, aged 26, SEN
fenced to prison in Fargo last Feb
ruary z for 90 years for automobile
theft, for parole.
The Cans case, quite different
from most parole cases, originated
largely through the efforts Of Judge
H. A. Bronson, member of the
board. An application had been pre-
pared by Cans before the last ses-
sion, but it was filed too late, and
Judge Bronson suggested, after in
vestigating the case, that Cans file
a new application.
Cans pleaded guilty to automobile
theft after he and Charles Mauer
were caught in a stolen automobile
in Cass county, according to pardon
board records. Cans was sentenced
to serve 20 years by Judge Cole,
but Mauer has not been tried, being
out on bond of $4,000, the records
here show.
Cans appeared to be a clean young
man, and attracted the attention of
Judge Bronson. He is declared to
have an excellent prison record

SEES NEED OF
10000 MEN IN
FIELDS N. D.
State Employment Director
Kitchen Plans For Open
ing of Labor Offices
EXPECTS ENOUGH MEN
Sees Failure of Canadian
Crop as a Boon to State
Farmers in Hiring Men
EXPECTS ENOUGH MEN

Twelve thousand farm laborers will
be needed for harvest work in North
Dakota, in addition to those al
ready here, it is estimated by Com
missioner of Agriculture J. A. Kit
chen, in charge Of employment ser
vice in the state, following his re-
turn from trip during which he
made arrangements for the opening
of free employment Offices in the
state August l.
Conditions are favorable for North
Dakota obtaining plenty of harvest
help, Mr.. Kitchen said. The drouth
and hot winds in Canada have caused
many laborers who had planned to
go there to turn to North Dakota,
where there is prospects Of fine
crop, he said, and the advertising
,of North Dakota's good crop has al
so brought many loborers into the
state already. Fields will be more
free from weeds than usual, and the
grain will be easy to handle, he
said. The reduction in grain acreage
and the increase in corn,. in sweet
clover and other crops will render
less pressing the need for harvest
labor, making the harvest longer, he
said.
j. S. Williams, federal director of
employment in Minnesota and men,
her of the state industrial com.
mission Of that state, has agreed tO
handle the job of securing laboIers
for North Dakota through informing
them of the special low railroad
rates effective July 20. Mr.. Williams
seeks information as to the needs
of various communities, he said.
Labor offices will open in the state
August l, in addition to the Fargo
office, as follows: Minot, in charge
|sof Clyde Nelson; Bismarck, Hcrma1
Brocopp; Devils Lake, Oliver Gcno
Grand Forks, G. c. Laistwaite; Oakes
Edward Stock.
N. p. Estimates
The Northern Pacific has issued
statement Of harvest labor needed
and probable salary scale, based upon
information from agents in North
Dakota. The harvest, it is estimated
will begin at most places in North
Dakota from August l to 10
Prevailing day wages in the
harvest fields, board included, ranges
from $3.50 to $3.50 per day, some
places reporting they expect to pay
$4.00 per day.

EFFORTS RENEWED TO MAKE COMPROMISE WITH FRENCH AND
BANKERS OVER GUARANTEES, NECESSARY TO DAWES PLAN
Optimism Still Is Expressed
at Inter-Allied Conference,
Despite the Failure Thus
Far to Reach an Agree
ment on the Subject-Hint
Given That Compromise
May Be Reached Monday

London, July 20, (By the A. P.)-
Renewed efforts were being made
today to effect a compromise be-
tween the apparently irreconciliable
attitude Of the French delegates to
the inter-allied conference and the
stand of the international financiers
on guarantees for the proposed 4O,-
100000 pound loan to Germany
which will launch the Dawes plan on
reparations.
Notwithstanding the weekend holi-
day the leading representatives of
the allied governments here did not
relax their endless toll to break the
deadlock which has assumed such
serious proportions.
An acceptable compromise, it was
said, would still allow the French
to maintain their rights under the
Versailles treaty and at the same
time provide such guarantees that
financiers could still offer the Ger
man bonds to investors with assur-
ances of perfect safety.
Despite the delay, the atmosphere
Of the conference negotiations is not
altogether pessimistic. A British
official said the technical work of
the conference had been accomplish
ed and that the conferees were
ready for the nest plenary session
next Monday afternoon at O'clock.
This is taken by many to indicate
that an agreement between delegates
from France sand bankers is impend-
ing.
Three Problems Left
Only three problems remain to be
dealt with. The first is the all
important one of reconciling the
bankers to the conference experts
proposed method Of dealing with
German violations of the Dawes
plan. The second is minor ques-
ton Of railroad control in the Ruhr
and the third is the question of Ger
man representation at the confer
ence.
1t is expected Berlin will be re-
quested Immediately to send dele
gates to London. 1t is increasingly
evident the British and French
premiers do not intend to give way
, entirely to the demands of the fin
anciers who would float the German
loan. 1t is believed it would be
political suicide for either premier
to do so.
