The conference, out of which the or
ganization was developed, was called
by the Greater North Dakota associa-
tion and was attended by representa-
tives of farmers unions, farm bu-
reaus and civic organizations of the
northwest.
The first big undertaking of the
new organization will be to attempt
to present a united front in matters
of legislation affecting the spring
wheat area, now pending before con-
gress.
A tariff committee was named and
in a resolution it was directed to
adopt as its principle for all requests
for tariff increases the policy "that
protection which will give to the av-
erage American farmer cost of pro-
duction including an American stand
ard of living"
The committee is to begin immedi-
ately to study tariff matters affecting
the four states and which will be
pending before congress in January.

The defeat of Grenora is the more
remarkable inasmuch as Grenora de-

Westby had defeated Plenytwood at

better showing than during the fore

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, March 2-Thomas II.
Robinson, attorney general, Is drafting
bills embodying the recommendations
of the commission which has completed
survey Of building and loan associa-
tons In Maryland.
The outstanding recommendation of
the commission Is for the creation of
building and loan division in the State
tax department, which would examine
the accounting statements Of each as
ISOLATION to determine whether its con-
dition merits the attention of the tax
commission.
The tax commission would be en-
powered under another recommendation
to order an examination Of the affairs
Of any building and loan association
on its own initiative or on the written
request Of any group of stockholders
controlling more than per cent of the
associations assets.
The commission estimated that $l2.-
900 a year would defray all the ex-
penses of the proposed addition to the
tax commission. This amount annually
could be raised by tax ranging from
$40 in the case Of associations with as
sets Of less than 100000 up to $14250
for associations with assets in excess Of
S.. 000, 900.

troduced into the Legislature and re-
ferred to the Senate judiciary commit

its passage. New Hampshire realtors are
likewise hopeful Of securing the passage
of a license law which is being intro
duced into the Legislature through the
efforts of New Hampshire real estate
boards. A license law bill IS now before
the Iowa State Legislature.
