STATE PRINT
BILLRUNS TO
SIX FIGURES
North Dakota Is Biggest Gus.
tCmer of State Publishing
Houses, Curran Says

The state Of North Dakota, which
buys all its printing at home. is the
largest customer of North Dakota
binderies and publishing houses, ac-
cording to statistics compiled by
James Curran, state printer.
Curran has charge of letting all the
state printing contracts, checks up on
the work to see that it is satisfactory
sets the technical requirements which
bidders must meet and advises state
department heads as to the type of
printed work they should employ. He
says most of the state contracts are
let at low figures and that the heavy
volume of the work contributes to
economy.
The total bill for the fiscal year
of 1924 was S1l5,497.52. That amount
includes the cost of printing the bills
and journals for the state legislature,
one of the largest items.
Under the present system the state
lets only five contracts year, the
first class is the printing of bills for
the legislature. The second is the
printing of the legislative journals
The third and biggest class is the
printing of public documents and re-
ports. The fourth is the printing of
blanks, circulars, forms and other
miscellaneous work incident to carry
ing on the state government.
When state official needs some
printing he sends his specifications to
Curran who orders the work done by
the firm holding the contract for the
class of work in which the requisition
falls. On completion of the work,
Curran inspects the product and
audits the bills to make sure that no
oyercharge has been made.

CITY Z0NING
LAW GOES TO
HIGH COURT
Laura Hughes Takes Appeal
from Decision of Burleigh
County Court
STATE TEST c.
City Ordinance Upheld in De
cisiOn of Judge JansOnius
in Test Suit

A test Of the state law permitting
cities 10 enact coming ordinances
was started today in the supreme
court with the filing by Laura W.
Hughes and others of an appeal from
the decision of the Burleigh county
district court in which she was pro-
hibited from erecting 4 building un.
der the terms Of the Bismarck zonine
ordinance.
Appellants asserted in their appeal
to the court that the ordinance is in
conflict with the state law and the
constitution.
1t was the last case on which the
court will pass at the Septe mbe I
term, the filing date for that term
having expired today.
The suit arose out of the refusal
Of the city to grant to Mrs. Hughes
W. A. Hughes and Bert II. Korupp
permit to construct building on
lot AZ of the Northern Pacific ad
dition on the ground that the pro-
posed plans were contrary to the
city coming ordinance.
The city maintained its position in
a suit in the Burleigh county court
Judge Fred Jansonius holding the
city ordinance constitutional.
The case is expected to attract
statewide interest because Of its cf.
feet on zoning ordinances in other
cities. A Fargo lawyer has asked tn.
court for permission to file brief
in the case as II friend of the cour,
and to assist the court in its de.
cision.
Action by the court is expected al
the September term.

BY fARRT ROARDMAN
NEA Service Writer

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE Amer
lean farmer is getting back on his
feet--slowly but surely recovering
from his long postwar slump.
This is the opinion of DR.. William
NJ. Jardine, secretary Of agriculture.
He based it upon personal observa-
tions made during his recent eight
weeks tour through the farming see
tions Of the country.
What saw and heard on that
trip" he said, mot only convinces
me that this will be IA fairly good
season in itself, but that agriculture
is ut last actually out of danger.
'Thc farmers are all greatly en-
couraged-and so am !.
up until last spring they were
weighed down by great surplus of
products that was hand me down
from the war.
ut was hard to work off this sur
plus. 1t meant drastic retrenchment
during four-year period Of acute
distress.
But now they have accomplished
it.. !
"As result, they are facing the
prospect Of fairly good incomes this
year, and are moderately optimistic
regarding the future.
"They are paying off long standing
debts and getting out of the shadow
of bankruptcy. Their farms are no
longer hard to sell. The purchasing
power of farm products is 30 per
cent Of what it was before the war
the highest it has been since 1920.
"These are some of the evidences
that agriculture, as whole, is get

"As to specific conditions
"In the Corn Belt, which suffered
greatly during the postwar depres-
sion, indications point to the return

SEEKS
PROTEIN MILL
MIX STANDARD
Standard Would Place Pre-
MUM on North Dakota
Wheat in Open Market

Adoption Of u standard miller's
mix for North Dakota with Il fixed
protein content, and the creation Of
facilities to manufacture such u mix
will do much to promote North Da-
kota's wheat industry and obtain 4
premium for North Dakota's chief
products, in the opinion of Gov. A. G.
Sorlie.
"We must create for ourselves a
sellers market if we are to get the
most from what we raise" said the
executive. "If one man. owned the
entire state and had absolute control
of all the wheat we raise here, he
could bring about such a situation
with comparatively little trouble.
Ours is specialized product. The
world must have it to make good
bread and the fact is that there isn't
enough Of it to meet the demand. IT
millers could obtain more of it for
mixing with other wheats they would
and if it were offered to them as
it should be offered to them, on a
fixed standard basis, they would be
glad to pay premium and the
farmers would benefit.
"A fine degree Of cooperation is
necessary before we will be able to
reach such point and cable to oper-
ate sellers market, but l feel that
it is advancing and that is one Of
the chief functions of the state mill
and elevator. If it is able to bring
about condition whereby all North
Dakota wheat brings a premium, it
will have been a fine Investment"
Industrial progress in the state
and the adjustment of freight rates
should bring about a better situ-
alton in the milling business all over
the state, Gov. Sorlie Said. and lend
considerable impetus to the further
agricultural development of the state.
Since approximately Is per cent Of
the whole wheat grain leaves the mill
in the form of by-products. the oper-
alton Of more elevators would keep
the bran, shorts and middlings at
home for use in feeding cattle. This
would promote the fast-growing
dairy industry and make farming in
North Dakota an all-year-round
proposition instead of just spasmodic c
affair in which the planting and
harvesting season are the only ones
in which the farmer has full op-
portunity to realize on his productive
ability.

ROADS TO ASK
FOR 5PER CENT
FREIGHT BOOST
Western Roads Have Not
Earned 5}4 Per Cent on
Physical Properties, Claim

Chicago, Aug. ia flat boost of
five per cent in freight rates will be
sought by railroads Of the United
States in hearings before the inter
state commerce commission, it was
announced in a statement to the pub
lie issued today by the western
group of roads.
An increase Of ii per cent in cur
rent freight rates on rs western
roads is necessary to insure roads a
ure fixed by the interstate COM
merce commission as fair return
on the aggregate value of railway
property of carriers, the statement
holds.
The statement cites figures to
show that the roads have not earned
5A per cent on physical properties
since the passage of the Transporta-
tion Act Of 1920.
Legally, the carriers are entitled
to request an increase in rates that
will yield the net return contem-
plated by law, and the duty of the
Interstate Commerce Commission is
to adjust the rates to correspond,
but the carriers do not intend to ask
an increase in rates that might prove
an item of Importance in any in
stance to the commerce Of the west
ern states and do not intend to de-
mand the full measure Of their
rights under the law" the statement
says.
"They propose to ask at this time
the restoration Of only portion
Of the decrease in rates imposed up
on them in 1922 by asking an in
crease, approximately, Of only $50 in
their freight revenues.
"As a practical means Of carrying
this emergency program into effect,
the carriers are proposing general
advances in freight rates which ap-
proximate per cent, maintaining
established rate relationships. In
the instance Of certain commodities
the carriers will propose, as mat
ter Of expediency, that the percent.
age of advance be converted into
one applicable in an equal amount ia
all rates. As a few illustrations
on grain they will propose a uniform
advance equivalent approximately to
1c per bushel; on coal l5c per ton;
on clay, gravel, sand and stone, 7lac
per ton: on cement, lime and plas.
