NOT IN RACE
FOR SENATE
Mrs. LA Toilette Says She
Will Not Seek Seat in
Upper House

Washington, July 2S.-LR Mrs.
Robert NJ. La Toilette formally an
nounced aoday that she will not
seek the seat in the United States
senate. made vacant by the death Of
her husband.
In a statement addressed to wom-
ems organizations, which had urged
her TO make the race, she expressed
the belief that she would perform u
greater service for the progressive
cause by devotng herself to the
task Of writing her husbands biog-
raphy from 1912 to the time of his
death, from "a wealth Of notes and
material" prepared by the senator.
Mrs. Ia FolIette's, statement, made
public here through friends, is cX-
pected to clear the way for an early
announcement by Governor Blaine
Of a special election to fill the un-
expired term Of the leader ot The
progressives.
While no announcement has been
made. it is rather generally be-
lieved here that Robert NJ. LA Fol-
iette, Jr., will seek his fathers seat.

Petition to Board

A two-week drive to secure 1000
signatures fo- the petition to the
local school board for free text books
for Bismarck school children will be
launched Angus. I, it was announced
today by f. w. Herbert, assistant
Gtate land commissioner.
Volunteers already have obtained
! 900 names, in the campaign to win
signatures Of two thirds Of the vote
east ut the last local election. The
state school code provides that the
local school board shall be under
obligation to distribute free text
books on the petition Of two thirds
Of the district electorate.
Approximately 1000 signatures
are required to complete the pending
petition, according to Mr.. Herbert
who will direct the free text book
drive.
City-Wide Canvass
Volunteers will be enlisted TO
make house toulouse canvass Of
the city for petition signers, he as
sorted. Eveiy family head in the
city will be asked to endorse the pc
tition, efforts will be made to OBJ

he stated.
"There can be no opposition ~ a
campaign for free text books" Her.
bert declared. Eve who have pro-
NOTED this movement feel that the
rank and file Of Bismarck voters
will be in favor Of the change"
Herbert estimated. on the basis Of
1923 costs. that the amount neces-
sary for providing school children
with free teyt books will not eX-
coed $A 200 for the first year. The
cost will diminish during succeeding
years. he predicted.
Under state law. distribution of
free text books will continue for four
years when the board votes on the
issue again.
Under the state law, authorization
for distrihation Of free text books
must be renewed every four years
while the practice cannot be discon-

Free distribution is provided under
law for families which lack means
for purchasing books.
"The average family head on the
borderline of poverty is too self.
respecting to accept this form OF
aid from the city" Herbert declared.
"Thev fear the stigma that is always
attached to accepting public charity.
BY distributing free text books;
this barrier is removed"
Herbert stated that opposition to
the plan for distributing text books
without charge comes chiefly from
the class of citizens financially able
to buy the books.
"Therc is nothing to prevent
these people from continuing to buy
text books, should the school board
determine to distribute them free."
be declared:
Parents Object
Another objection, cited by Her
bert, was the fact that many par
ents would object to having children
handle secondhand books.
"These. same parents will allow
their children to take books out of
the public library" he declared.
"They do not know where library
books may. have been while in circu-
lation."
Herbert stated it as his belief that
the bulk of Bismarck voters will sign
for free text books in city schools.

Swampscott, Mass, July 2S.-F)--
Discussion Of the agricultural sit
uation between President Coolidge
and congressional leaders who are
visiting White Court for conferences
has revealed a general agreement
that legislation in the next congress
should be limited to enactment Of a
cooperative marketing bill. This is
presidents agricultural conferences
remaining to be translated into law.
President Coolidge favors passage
of a cooperative marketing measure,
although he is of the opinion it
would be best for congress to work
out the details. Senator Curtis of
Kansas, the Republican leader. here
week ago expressed the view that
farmers could be best aided by en-
couragement of cooperative market
ing.
This opinion also was expressed
yesterday by Representative" Purn".!
Of Indiana. ranking Repuhlirn Of the
house agriculture committee, who
called on the president Repor,in,,
to the executive that farmers Of the
middle west were enjoying prosper
ity with good prices in prospect for
their crops. he said he believed the
attention Of congress should be cen
tered on cooperative marketing.
In the last congress he champioacd
the passage of the McNary- Hauger
bill designed to encourage expo.

emily has abandoned his advocacy ol
the measure

WORKERS ARRIVING

Of $4,000 transient workers is mov-
ing into North Dakota for the har.
vest instead OF the usual army rid
ing ON the rods. the blinds, or the
cushions Of railroads.
SO far about IS per cent Of all
transients have arrived in automo-
hles. mostly of somewhat doubtful
vintage. George f. Tucker Of Kansas
City. field director Of tho United
States, employment service, farm La
Dor division. declared in Fargo to,
day.
Mr. Tucker. accompanied by hi
secretary. W. G. Tillotson. arrived
recently from Sioux City, Iowa, and
will make their headquarters here
until the harvest is over. United
States labor men have been stationed
at Fargo. Grand Forks. Devils Lake
Valley City, Glendale. and Wahpe-
ton and it is expected that several
others will be appointed at logical
points.
On the basis Of an estimate that
$4,000 harvest laborers from outside
the state will be in North Dakota
in August. rs per cent Of them, or
about $4,000. will arrive here from
Kansas, Nebraska, and South Da-
kota in their own gasolin" buggies.
Buy Secondhand Cars
Last year only 20 to 25 per cent
came in on rubber tires. The cars,
mostly secondhand vehicles. are
bought ut prices usually under 500,
and several men chip in to pay ex-
penses to get to the nearest lucra-
rive field. Mr.. Tucker said. He has
known Of as many as eight to make
trip in single car.
The field director predicted that
in the future almost all transient
harvest workers would travel by au-
tomobile instead Of by rail.
Due to the new mode of travelling.
Fargo will not see as many laborers
this year as formerly. as those COM
ing in by automobile will enter the
state wherever there is a main hioh-
wav. Mr.. Tucker thought. As the
city is railroad center for, the
state, large numbers Of transients
used to congregate here upon arrival
on the trains and before distribu-
ton over the state.
Between 200 and 800 men went
throu rh .the United States farm la
Dor office here Monday, seeking en-
ployment shocking rye and barley
in fields contiguous to the city. The
wage offered is So per day, but in
dicptions are that this may 60 to
$3.50 or 81 for threshing, according
to Mr.. Tucker.

UPHOLDS TRADE BODY

Swampscott, Mass. July %. (40--
President Coolidge believes the fed
eral trade commission has a useful
function and he is not in sympathy
with suggestions that it should be
abolished.
The presidents convictions are
that while some Of the criticism of
the trade commission is perhaps JUS
titled, it is performing a difficult
task as the policeman OF business on
service to the public.
Mr.. Coolidge is Of the belief that
some of the practices Of the COM
mission might we'll be modified so as
to avoid possible injustices to legiti-
mate industry and business, but he
had not reached any conclusions as
to what change in methods should
be adopted.

With winter rye. oats and barley
in full harvest and wheat almost
ready to cut in most sections, the
state government today turned its
attention to providing adequate la
Dor for all sections.
Under a rate which will become
effective August l, harvest hand
will be granted five dolla.' fac
from Minneapolis to any po.nt in
North Dakota in groups of five men
or more. Only one ticket will be
issued for the group it was said by
Joseph Kitchen, state director of
agriculture and labor.
At the suggestion of Governor
Sorlie labor agent will be sent
from, the North Dakota Agricultural
college at Fargo to Minneapolis to
direct harvest hands arriving at
that terminal to North Dakota points
where they are needed.
Farmers Send Request
County farm agents. and farmers
throughout the state have been ad-
vised to send requests for harvest
hands to the office of County Agent
O'Gorman at Fargo. From there the
requests will be transmitted to the
labor agent at Minneapolis.
Kitchen said today. that the wheat
harvest will be on in earnest in
"hont 10 days and that approximate
ly $4,000 men will be needed to
meet the demand for extra help. The
wage rate is expected to range from
81 to S. a day.
Although many will take advan-
tage OF the low fare offer by the
railroads. thousands are coming in
to the state in automobiles from
states TO the south. where the har.
vest, alread. has been completed,
Kitchen said.
In the past the tendency has been
for harvest workers to concentrate
in the larger cities. The new svs-
tenn is expected to distribute them
TO districts where they are needed.
