Washington, March 23.-(R North
Dakota's expe riments in state.con-
trolled business ventures were defend
led and the Nations Business" the
official publication Of the Chamber
Of Commerce Of the United States,
was attacked today in the senate by
Senator Nye of North Dakota.
Referring directly to an advertise
ment by Nations Business" pub
lished exclusively in newspapers over
the country, Senator Nye charged
that the purpose Of the publication
was to "blacken the names Of states
which have dared to depart from the
beaten path blazed by privileges"
"The whole argument of the ad-
vertisement," the senator said, sis
that in the 'Russianized' state of
North Dakota, the state has tried its
hand in the packing business, the
banking business, tho milling bust
ness, the elevator business, the home
building business and the insurance
business, and failed"

argument" he asked. ut is trus

Interest on Bonds Was Paid

1uteICSt W. lDtbutVS w SlS Ouu
Commenting on the figures the gov
ernOr said: you will notice that the
sum of 1891 ,525.75, covering interest
on the mill and elevator bonds and
depreciation, was paid in 1925. If the
capital stock invested in the mill and
elevator had been paid up. the opcrat-
ing earnings for the year 1925 would
have paid three per cent on the in
vcstment."
During its existence. Sorlic said,
the mill has been subjected to the
ficrccst sort Of competition from in
dependent mulers. This is shown, he
said, by figures comparing the rcla-
tive prices Of wheat and flour for 1919
and subsequent years.
Millcrs Reduce Profit
In 1919. he said. flour sold for
$l5.25 a barrel and wheat brought
$3.50 a bushcl. Rating four and one
half bushels Of wheat to Il barrel of
flour. there was $ll.38 worth Of
wheat in every barrel Of flour. diff
ference Of $3.87. dcducting from that
$l.3O as the cost of overhead and
sacks, the millers had possible profit
Of $2.57 bafrcl. or 22.G per cent.
On December l, 1920, flour was
$50 barrel and wheat was SLAP a
bushel. On December |. 1924. flour
sold for $3.50 and wheat for $1.62 In
comparison with 1920. wheat had
raised 20 cents but flour had dropped
80 cents. These prices, he said. refer
to Occident flour. On December |,
1924. Dakota Maid flour, the product
| of the state mill, sold for 1925 a

that of transmitting music and
