DR.. Thomas Tells of
Crop and Economic
Conditions in West

DR.. Augustus o. Thomas, who has
just returned from tour Of four
states, in the course Of which he de-
livered series Of lectures on educa-
tional problems. stated yesterday
that his first address was delivered
in Michigan anG the last one at Min
OF, North Dakota.
while at Minot I also assisted
Miss Minnie Nelson. State 1uperin-
tendent of schools Of North Dakota,
with a meeting which was held Of
the county supervisors of that state.
The school problems Of North Da-
kota are very similar to those Of our
own State. he added.
There Is no state school fund,
however, and low limit has also
been placed on the amounts which
may be raised by local units for ed
ucational purposes. For csc reasons
school improvements are had to &C
complish."
DR.. Thomas stated that Minot Is
the third largest city in North Da-
kota, that it is a thriving commun-
ity. with climate similar to our
own. 1T was ITO in the shade while
l was there, he said. "They have
fine municipal parks along the banks
of the Mouse River, and lately the
city has been holding municipal pro-
grams every Sunday afternoon In
these parks. TIL mayor presides at
these gatherings, and they have some
fine programs"
He went on to add that the excess
sive heat this year has resulted in a
shortening of the wheat crop, the
wheat being ripened too early and in
some cases drying up before it could
be reaped. THE flax crop also suf-
fered," he added. THE people of that
state are in good spirits, and are re-
covering from the malady Of Rad
icalism which threatened shortly af-
ter the World War. They feel kindly
toward Coolidge, and are in favor of
the Haugen Bill, which aims to regu-
late the prices of farm products.
They feel that there is a conflict of
agricultural interests between the
farmers of he East and the Near
West. The banks are reliable and
steady, they are getting safely by
the period of frozen credit.
He stated that the farmers OF
North Dakota are not asking for
higher prices for their crops, but
that they do want better share OF
the price paid by the ultimate con-
sumner for these farm products.
Speaking of the banking situation
In the West. DIR. Thomas said: "In
South Dakota the people are having
a hard time getting out from under

NJ. R. I. DROPS
/. FARE DEMAND

The question which has arisen
over the legality of Its ownership
apparently has stopped the 'Wasn'
ington Rapid Transit Company
short in it's effort to obtain a
straight ten cent fare on its buses.
Two months ago during q public
hearing on the company's petition
for a higher fare, William NICK.
Clayton. chairman Of the public
utilities committee of the Federation
of Citizens Associations. raised. the
question Of the legality of the, bus
company's purchase by the North
American Company OF New York.
The hearing was adjourned abrupt.
ly and the company was notified In
effect that the commission would
have no further dealings with it
until the question of ownership
had been cleared.
The company's counsel was in
structed that It could defend it's
legal position In a brief to be filed
with the commissions general
counsel. Since that time not q
pany's legal advisors.
It Is believed that company Off
Gals have decided to ''let well
enough alone" and operate on the
present fare rather than 1eopardize
their franchise.
Officials of the Public Utilities
Commission, however. intend to
carry the case through. and will
either turn the facts in the case
over to Congress or take the mat
ter to the courts.
The good song rings clear for the
Good Fellows? Look into the matter.
