NO HOPE IN
ARMS FARLEY
Declares Russia Is Key and
Would Have To BE
Recognized

Washington, March 26.-Chairman
Borah of the senate foreign relations
committee, declared late yesterday
after conference with President
Coolidge that he favored calling a
second arms limitation conference
but doubted it would be successful.
He said he thought it was good
plan to make move toward dis
armament although in his opinion
disarmament could not be obtained
except by organized public opinion.
which he did not believe now exist
ed in Europe.
Russia holds the key to the world
disarmament, he asserted, and Rus
STA could not be expected to enter
into an arms limitation agreement
without diplomatic recognition by
this country. France also consti-
tutes a stumbling block to satisfac-
tory disarmament, he declared, and
will continue to do so as long as
she insists on her security"
He said he would support Pres
ident Coolidge in his efforts to get
the foreign powers interested in the
conference, which as contemplated
would take place some time in the
fall and would be limited to con-
sideration of naval ornaments.
1t is fine thing, he added, to keep
the subject of disarmament alive
and there is a chance that a confer
ence might accomplish some results.
The same nations that participated
in the last conference are expected
to be invited to be represented.

RED CROSS TO
MAKE SURVEYS
Permanent Needs of Storm
Sufferers To Be Found

Chicago, Mar. 26.-Reconstruction
and replacement were the objects OF
activities today in the storm-swept
areas of five states where a week
ago wreck and ruin were left in the
wake of the tornado.
The American Red Cross went on
apace with its plans to replace and
refurnish homes, clothing and all
necessities of victims to reestablish
them as nearly on pre-disaster bas-
is as possible.
Local community and county COM
mittees began their work of cooper
ating with the Red Cross in ADJUST
ing claims.
A few more days will end the
emergency relief period fixed by
Red Cross officials as the time for
temporary efforts and work will
start at once on surveys to ascertain
permanent needs of storm sufferers.
Later provision will be made for vo-
cational training and trust fund as
sistance in cases where the chief
means of support of a family was
cut off by the disaster.
The total deaths in the storm area
today stood at $50, the figure set in
the Associated Press list of the dead
on the night of the tornado.

FACTS FOR PROPERTY OWNERS
High Taxes Hurt Property Values

During the just after it, we heard a
great deal about buyers strikes" Prices became
so high due to combine over which the retailers
had control that people refused to buy even
though they needed the very goods affected by the
strike You know how shoes, meats, ETC., after
wards tumbled in price. There union or
central body to call these strikes; they spon
taneous.
Have you owners Of vacant and even improved
property stopped to think that there also
be real estate buyers strike? Suppose you paid
$500 for your vacant lot. Naturally you want to
sell at profit, at least get out the money you
put into it in the way of purchase price, taxes and
assessments paid and interest your money.
But, what does a prospective buyer say? He
mentions high taxes and many Improvement assess
ments which he must pay period of years,
and figures that all in to prove what your lot will
cost him in the end Finally, he says your price is
too high, and can't or won't take your lot unless
you cut YOUR price.
In other words he means simply this. The
present owner and not the buyer must take the loss
in value of the property due to heavy taxes and
improvements.
High taxes and many assessments shrink pro-
perty values and hinder ready sales. Decreasing
these factors means property becomes more salabe.
Efficient and economical city management is neces-
sary to decrease high taxes.

DURUM WHEAT
ACREAGE TO
BE INCREASED
Dat Acreage Expected To BE
About Same as 1924; More
Barley Reported

=, North Dakota farmers expressed
their intentions on March l of in
creasing their durum wheat acreage
materially above the acreage of 1924,
according to announcement of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture made today.
at the same time their intentions to
reduce the 1924 flax acreage by al
most one fifth.
Oats in North Dakota will be plant
ed to approximately the same acre
age as in 1924 according to this sur
vey, while barley will be increased
nearly onc-third in acreage, un-
doubtedly taking up the decrease in
flax and potato acreage.
Spring activities cannot begin for
some time in North Dakota, although
a few farmers are sowing south and
west from the Valley City territory,
likewise there were few scattered
farmers who accomplished some
seeding approximately the same date
one year ago. By far the greater

least ten days, or two weeks have

state have sufficient moisture for the
soil requirements. while the North

satisfactorily; and it is in this north
ern half where the greater per cent

proposed increase of 1876 percent in
acreage. the report states. The pre-
sent high prices should not be ex-
pected to prevail through next year.
In the past year. owing to short
crops in North Africa, Russia and
Canada, American durum has had
virtual monopoly of the special
durum wheat markets of the world.
Larger acreages are reported and
better yields are expected in North
Africa, where the wheat will soon
be ready to harvest, and, if weather
permits, larger acreages are to be
expected also in Russia and Canada.
It does not seem that it would be
profitable, therefore, to increase the
area sOwn to durum except where,
even at lower prices, relatively high
yields may make it more profitable
than flax or other wheat. In North
Dakota particularly, the outlook does
not seem to justify the intended shift
from flax to durum wheat.
The proposed increase in spring
wheat other than durum is mostly to
replace abandonment of winter wheat
in the far Northwest. Expressed in
tentions to increase in many Of the
states east of the Rocky Mountains
is largely offset by intentions to de-
cease in North Dakota. If these in
tentions are carried out. and not
more than the average yield per acre
is realized in these states, the sup
ply of hard red spring, east Of the
Rockies, would probably not be great
err than the domestic mill consump-
ton of that wheat. The surplus
wheat west of the Rockies. on the
other hand, may have to compete in
the world markets with all other
wheats. If there is an average world
crop of wheat, the present high
prices in world markets cannot be
expected to prevail for the 1925 crop,
although they probably will be better
than the 1928 crop.
