MASS MEETING CALLED

Chicago, March tR-Chicago's
average citizens arc getting tired of
strangers asking them il they keep
machine gun handy around the
house.
The normal citizens of the worlds
fourth largest city who go about
their normal activities with rcIa-
lively no closer kinship with the
flaring Chicago crime than the in
habitants Of Sauk Centre, have come
to the conclusion that Something
ought to be done about it,
So there will be a citizens mass
meeting here March 30. with two
fold object.
To Assist Authorities
First, to attempt to coordinate ef-
forts of private, public, and semi
private organizations and civic
bodies, to help constituted authori-
ties control crime.
Second, to get the idea abroad
some way that Chicago is as safe a
place for Mr.. and Mrs. Average Citi-
zen to live as any other metropolis.
The Illinois manufacturers asso-
citation called the gathering and the
Chicago crime commission will CO.
operate.

morgue and three Mexican murder

the city to hide. The next day the
bullet-riddled body Of another gun
man was found in an alley beside a
west side roadhouse.
But Mr.. and Mrs. Chicago went
ahead and shoppcd for the Sunday

they hoped the gangsters eventually

MARKETING OF
COUNTY BONDS
Is DISCUSSED
Governor Suggests Th a t
States Bank Help in Financ-
ing Feed, Seed Loans

Ways and means Of marketing
warrants and bonds to be issued by
North Dakota counties to raise
money with which to finance seed
and feed loans were considered at a
meeting of the state industrial com
mission Monday.
The meeting was called by Cover
nor A. G. Sorlic who suggested that
the Bank of NORTH Dakota has a
large balance on deposit in big city
banks which could be utilized by the
Bank Of North Dakota in financing
the feed and seed loans.
c. Il. Green, manager of the bank,
reported that banks at st. Paul and
Minneapolis are competing for the
business and that five field men
have been sent into North Dakota by
these institutions. Arrangements al
ready have been made by every
county which will operate under the
act to market it's warrants ut per
cent interest. If these are not paid
next fall the counties then will issue
bonds with which to retire the war;
rants
Green said that the situation is
being handled satisfactorily, insofar
as he could see, and that there is no
need for the state to make its re-
sources available to the counties.
Bureau May Buy Bonds
It was intimated that in case
bonds are sold by the counties, the
state workmen's compensation bu-
reau will be in the market for a
large block of them next fall. Under
new law the compensation bureau
will have more than $1,O0O,0OO Of it's
present balance available for invest
mcnt in public securities. The
money has heretofore been deposited
in the Bank Of North Dakota.
Indications are, Green said, that
the amount Of money to be loaned
under the feed and seed act will not
be as large as had been expected and
that the total of all issues will be
less than $l,OOO,OOO. Previous esti-
mates has placed the total at a
higher finure.

F0RD-SAPIR0
TRIAL OPENS
AT DETROIT
Chicago Lawyer and Organ
izer of Cooperative Move.
ments Seeks $1,OOO,OOO

Detroit, March 15-LP)-Selection
of jury in the $1,0O0,0OO libel suit
of Aaron Sapiro against Henry Ford
was started in United States district
court today after the maze of tech
nicalities and legal arguments on
amended complaints had been ended
by ruling Of Judge Fred NJ. Ray
mond.
Henry Ford was not in court when
selection of the jury began and
whether he had actually been served
with subpoena apparently still
was in dispute.
A motion Of the plaintiffs to strike
out 571 paragraphs of the plea Of
defendants was denied by the judge
who warned the defendants, however,
that they would have to point out the
specific paragraphs to which they
were referring in admitting evidence.
Ford Ready to Appear
Threats Of contempt proceedings
against Mr.. Ford were held in abey-
ance pending selection of the jury.
1t was reported that, although his
counsel disputed the contention of
plaintiffs attorneys that subpoena
had been served upon the manufac-
turer, he Was ready to appear when
asked.
Sapiro charges that Ford injured
his reputation in accusing him of be-
ing member of Jewish conspir-
acy to control agriculture and in
utilizing farmers cooperative organ
izations for personal gain. On the
other hand Ford's counsel claims that
neither cooperative marketing nor
the Jewish race is on trial.
1--WE claim" said Senator James
Reed of Missouri, "that Sapiro was
selfish in motives, domineering in
his tactics, harmful in his activities
and dangerous to the agricultural
movement because Of his attempts to
control it,"
Sapfro Admitted to Bar
Sapiro, Chicago lawyer and for Is
years organizer of cooperative mar
ketinR organizations, who is suing
Ford in connection with series of
articles appearing in the Dearborn
Independent, Ford publication, in
1924 and 1895, was admitted to the
bar on motion of William Henry Gal
lagher, his attorney. This would per-
NIT Sapiro at any time during the
trial to take an active part.

London, March 15--( (AP)-Thc city
Of Nanking, lying on the right bank
of the Yantzc river, 1870 tiles north
west Of Shanghai, apparently now
is the chief objective of Cantonese
forces in their mancuvers ultimate
~ to reach Shanghai.
AdviccS today were that the Can
tonesc were at determined grips with
Shantung forces between hing, in
the province Of kiangsu, and Chang
sing, southward in the province Of
Chckiang. They were attempting to
drive n wedge and, in an encircling
movement, take Nanking before a
frontal attack on Shanghai.
In dispatch to the Daily Mail,
Sir Percival Phillips says the man
cuvcring now in progress is but a
continuation Of that which recently
eliminated in capture by Cantonese
of Wuhu, on the river so miles to
the south. In hard fighting yester-
day. the correspondent asserts, Can
tonesc pushed their line of attack
to within 20 miles of Marking on
the south. The Shantungcse arm of
General Chang Tsung Chang is en-
deavoring to hold the railroad
against the invaders, for it is felt
that the loss of Nanking to the
Cantonese would have Il tremendous
moral effect.
Fearful the fall of the city would
result in anti-foreign outbreaks,
similar to those that occurred when
Cantonese took Wuhu, American and
British officials in Nanking already
have laid plans for evacuation Of
their nationals. The foreign element
in the Marking area aggregates 500,
including large number Of mission
aries and some 430 Americans. One
report from Shanghai says the Amer
lean and British have received ur-
gent orders to depart and that those
who have not already obeyed are

WE NEED AN OFFICIAL PUBLIC GOAT

We believe it would be profitable to the public
at large AN "Official Public Goat was appointed
or elected whose duties should be to butt into
every law passed by the legislature and have it
tested out by our courts Of course this might
necessitate more legal machinery and another
state department, but think what relief it would
be to the long suffering public to have our laws
assayed right off the bat instead of waiting until
the innocent bystander gets into Jackpot and
has to spend his ilgotten gains in testing out the
law.
The old tlme-worn smoke screen of Ignorance
OF the law excuses no one" Should be inverted
Under existing conditions lawyers, judges and
juries do not know the law. All disagree as to the
letter of the law until the supreme judges agree
by majority vote-what it is all about. Very
often the supreme body is closely divided and a
minority decision is handed down.
However, Ignorance of the law does not ex-
cuse anyone
That's why we suggest the Official Public
Goat" He could have lot of kids to substitute
on Jail sentences while the honest but ignorant
citizen could go ahead with his process of making
living and paying taxes until the law had been
thoroughly predigested, assayed, analyzed, dis
membered, revamped, codified and engraved in oul
Warehouse-ful of law books.
The cost of the Official Public Goa.' would be
nominal as compared with cost of holding up gen
era progress until the law had been slaeted and SC
refined that even an honest man could comply
with it.

HANDS ACROSS THE
RIO GRANDE

In ancient times, when the ruler of
a kingdom wanted to get a half-Nel-
son on the affections of some neigh
boring monarch, ministers used to get
together and arrange for a wedding
between one of the boys Of the royal
house and one of the girls of the other
royal house. The two kingdoms were
thus made good friends, and the happy
subjects good and true could celebrate
all over the greensward, because such
alliances STAYED off just one more pos
sibility of war, which was all too fre-
quent in those times anyhow.
Things have changed considerably
since then, however, and the recent
wedding of the daughter Of President
Gales to young gringo lad was all
but unnoticed. Under the old courtly
practices, diplomats would have tried
to figure out a match between the
senorita, and say the young Coolidge
heir, in order that the hands across
the Rio Grande might be clasped with
a little more real brotherly love.
This, of course, could never be. AS
matters stand, though, it is to be
hoped that the wedding just solemn
lied will draw the two countries a
little closer.
