INCONSISTENT MR.. sHAFER

George F. Shafer is hard pressed to make out case
in the campaign now closing that qualities him before
the people as anything than the most obvious
type Of office seeker with record behind him as an
average practical politician
Speaking at Kenmarc Friday night he is quoted
declaring that deep and obvious harm has been
done this state by the huge public debt created by
state industries.
Yet he is compromising upon them, as he has in
Dictated throughout this campaign which it closes
finds both him and his friends defending them
He is particularly solctous about the viewpoint Of
outside capital upon North Dakota, he indicated at
kenmare also.
He believes in keeping North Dakota branch state
whose affairs dictated by the representatives Of
eastern interests in Cass county.
He is dolefuy sounding off upon all the so-called
failures Of the industrial program to which he now
subscribes while pointing out its shortcomings.
But he is entirely emitting the record of state in
dustries that have demonstrated some degree Of
service
He shows the degree Of extremsm to which he has
attained when he draws parallel between southern
states in reconstruction days following the civil war
and North Dakota now
1t would be much in point to 20 back to the
Hellenic era in Greece when stones erected on
mortgaged farms to designate them encumbered
and compare it with the North Dakota today.
He fears possible utter bankruptcy of the state"
by continual "plunging into debt"
For this relief much thanks.
In his opening speech before the bankers at Man.
dan he succeeded quite effectively in terrifying
of them BY predicting ruin, bankruptcy apd impaired
credit"
His latest possible bankruptcy" pronouncement is
impressive q modification of his earlier positive
ruin. bankruptcy and impaired credit pronouncement
In his final speeches in this campaign he is giving
most impressive evidence of the fact that this is
struggle Of the "Outs" to DUST the "ns.'
Throughout the campaign neither he nor his friends
have said much about the fundamental problem of
farm marketing, the njustces of which have brought
North Dakota to a sustained political impassc
Evidently he does not it. If he does he ignores
not see.
Mr.. Shafer daily gives impressive demonstra-
ton If the fact that he is fishing for office with
worms from Mr. Townley's bait His fundamental
grasp Of North Dakotas economic problems is nervous
and uncertain.
He suffers much by comparison with the construc.
tive action and the positive methods proposed by
| T. II. Thoresen and the state candidates upon the
League Republican ticket And for the good of this
state it is to be regretted that the campaign clos.
ing not conditioned series of debates between
Thoresen and Shafcr.
That would have given the people chance to COM
pare viewpoints first hand. 1t would have developed
beyond cav that the League Republican viewpoint ID
the more consistent, the more constructive and the
more truly devoted to the best interests Of North
Dakota

OPTIMISM IS FELT
BY OIL INTERESTS
Industry Not Yet Out OF Rut
of Depression, but Is
Working Upward.

Snecinl DiSpatch TO The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 19.--Districts an
ticipating wide revolutionary reor-
sanitation of the oil industry seem des-
tined to be disappointed. The situation
in the petroleum business today is not
satisfactory to producers. refiners, dis
tributors or retailers, but there are few
men connected with the industry who
are optimistic enough concerning the
general trend of human nature to pre-
dict revolutionary developments which
will lead the industry from the rut
of depression.
Many schemes for such revision
have been planned In detail. but IN
nearly every instance they depend on
the cooperation OF producers. reflners,
transporters and retailers. Such CO.
operation has never been entirely ac-
complished In the history of the indus
try and even such agreements as have
been arrived at for the restriction Of
production have seldom continued I'M
broken for more than 80 DAYS. This,
however, should not be taken as a pes
simistic statement.
Working Out of Dizziness.
The industry is working its way grad
ually and in most healthy manner
from the dullness which has gripped It.
For the moment. production and con-
sumption of domestic oil are almost
balanced. This does not take into ac-
count the possible capacity of wells
which might be thrown on the market
at any moment at the command OF
their owners.
But the brightest spot In the petro-
leum industry today lies In the fact that
automobile and gas engine production Is
at the highest point 1t has ever attained
The consumption OF gasoline is greater
than ever before. Heretofore, the re-
flners and producers have made ID
necessary for the automotive industry
to adapt an engine to the use of GER
tain type OF gas, Now the refiners are
producing gas adapted to the use OF
every possible kind of engine. This Is
giving universal satisfaction to the con-

COMMISSION SUIT
 VERDICT RESERVED
Decision Pending in Solomon's
 Action Against LeVine

Judge Henry P. Roche reserved decision in the action of Benjamin Solomon. real estate broker. against Abraham Levine. which was heard in city court today. The plaintiff claim- ed $160 due him as commission for the sale of certain building lots on Stratford road. which were finally sold to one John F.. Kilbourne. a builder. by Herbert Camp, after the plaintiff had already produced the prospective buyer previously. Solo, mon further claimed that on Sep tember ]. the defendant in order to defraud him from receiving the com- mission. put the deal through Camps real estate office. which in turn sold the lots to Kilbourne.
 Levine denied any agreement with Solomon as to the commission, stat ing that the only agreement between them was a verbal one. when Le- vine told Solomon that if he could get a buyer for the lots at $3.400 he would pay him the commission. but If he could only get $3,200 there would be no commission. The deal was finally completed through Camp. who in turn sold the property to Kill bourne for $3.20o. Camp at the time of the deal paid $3,052 for the lots. assuming sewer assessments. Harry H. Milkowitz represented the plain- tiff and Israel Nair was counsel for Levine.
