LICENSE TAG PLAN
KILLED BY SENATE
Reject Proposal to Make Plates
at State Penitentiary
as Too Costly

A proposal to manufacture motor
vehicle license tags at the state prison
was killed in the North Dakota SEN
ate today when the assembly adopted
a majority report Of the state affairs
committee recommending indefinite
postponement Of the measure.
A minority report, recommending
passage. was rejected on roll call by
a n to % vote, after which the bill
was killed without record vote.
Opponents of the measure con-
tended that manufacture Of the tags
could not be carried out at the prison
as cheaply as the plates are pur-
chased at present.
Senator w. D. Lynch of LaMoure
told the senate that in states where
tags are prison made the cost ranges
from IA to % cents, while in North
Dakota the plates are obtained at a
cost Of SO cents. He claimed 1t would
take an expenditure Of $25, 900 to pro-
vide for machinery for manufacture
of the tags, and would then provide
work for only about 20 or 80 prison
erS.
Senator Walter Bond, of Ward
called attention to an investigation
made in the east by the Warden OF
the North Dakota prison, as to the
feasibility of manufacturing license
plates at the penitentiary. Bond de-
clared tina. it was found the cost tol
prison-made tags would be consider
ably higher than they can be pur-
chased from private companies.
The measure originated in the
house where it was sponsored by Rep
resentatives Northridge Of Barnes ane
McManuS of Rolette.

URGES FARMERS TO
BOOST ORGANIZATION
Bonner Says They Must Be Big.
ger Than Any Political Par
ty' to Win Respect

Supporting the Farmers Union in
its stand, Senator A. F. Bonzer Jr.,
Richland county, Monday night as
serted, in radio speech, that the
farmers OF North Dakota must "have
an organization bigger than any poll
tical party in the state" before their
rights will be respected.
Launching into discussion of the
Unions legislative program, Bonzer
charged that q bill prohibiting the
sale of stored grain, killed Monday in
the senate, had been made a political
football.
Agreeing that the present system
of selling stored grain acts as hand
leap to the farmer, Bonzer asserted
that the present system forces prices
Gown when the farmer hopes it will
rise; that the farmer is forced to pay
storage on grain no longer in exist
ence; that cooperatives have to carry
insurance on this mythical grain and
that the farmer is forced to borrow
money obtained by the persons MAX
ing the loans from sale of grain still
owned, at least technically. by the
farmer with the storage ticket.
Commenting on the vote which
killed the bill in the senate, Bonzer
said:
"The only diversion from party
lines was my vote as an I. v. A. for
the measure and Senator Patten's
vote, as a Nonpartisan Lacquer
against the measure. I am entire
ly unable to explain why this should
have been a party measure in, any
particular and I believe it should
convince you farmers that you must
have an organization bigger than any
political party in the state before you
are going to have your rights re-
spected. It convinces me that you
must elect senators and representa-
tives and also state officers who are
big enough to work for the welfare
of the predominating class of our
state, regardless of the whip of the
political party Bosses: whether he be
Lacquer or Independent. Until you
are big enough to do that you are CO.
ing to get the same treatment you got
today In the killing of this worthy
measure that your organization spon.
sored. II you are willing, as Ameri-
can citizens, to sit idly by and see
your rights trampled in the dust by
party bosses, then you no longer de-
serve the heritage of American citi.
zens given to you by your forefathers
at Valley Forge"

The Chicago victory undoubtedly did
Yale lot of good. After the first half
the opposition was not so tough, but
the engagement gave the Blue chance
to polish its shit, and there undoubt-
edly will be further improvement this

TEXAS doesn't look quite as tough for
i Harvard as it did since Southern
Methodist ran all over Rice. The

Texas. But that Southern Methodist
squad must be first class-and then
some.
Southern California should win from

high gear. Madigan's pupils at St.

a good coach and a good team.

ference which holds the edge in victo-
ries since Zuppke went to Illinois.
The report that Fielding Yost has
again gone out to do a bit Of active
coaching shows that Michigan is fully
alive to the situation. His presence on
the practice field carries inspiration
with it.

It's an Old Wrestling Custom
Tin Ears and Big Hearts Go Hand in Hand for Charity.
BY TOM DOERER.

If he does this, then, not only charity
but wrestling will benefit in these af-
fairs. Many people who never go to
see the sport show up at the charity
affairs. and II they are shown that
they have missed good game it is
another customer made for a pastime
that has been kicked around plenty.
Boxing, in the years when the sour
science had a heart and not a gamblers
whiphand over it, was the vehicle used
to aid the helpless and impoverished in
sports. The game was ever ready to
give and the big boxers of the yester-
years, had blisters from digging into
Their wallets. But they never COM
plaincd because, for the big reason. 1t
would have been an act of unsports-
nanship.
Wrestling seems to have taken over
the burden and with natural instinct
for it. There may be time when the
pastirne feels 1t has reached stage OF
dignity where it need not give the pub
lie too much consideration. But at the
moment it has not and, whether pre-
meditated or not. it is taking a smart.
busineSs-like means of keeping close TO
the customer, a person sought after by
all promoters OF sports events.
Wrestling can stand for being called
a racket, a tin-eared exhibition of faxed
trickery so long as it shows such a
human trait as it has been exhibiting
in this unemployment crisis. There is
not a promoter in the game who will
not admit that the boys must do more
acting than wrestling on the mat. And
he will tell you that they do it for no
other reason than that the customer
wants it. Give the mat fan of today
an oldtime wrestling contest and he
would fall asleep in his neighbours vest
pocket after the third hour.
The racket Is loaded with human
faults and the customer likes it Just
the same. Kick it around and there will
be more patrons than ever up at the
front door asking for tickets. 1t is an
old American custom to stick with the
under-towser. And especially If the
bowser steps up to the front with its
heart warm as wrestling has been doing.

THE SPORTLICHT
by CRANTLAND RICE

IF you don't think foot ball selections
in the big games are 80 per cent
guesses-what percentage of experts
last week picked Harvard to beat
Army, Columbia to whip Dartmouth,
Tennessee to run away from Alabama,
Ohio State to beat Michigan and Wis
consin to beat Purdue?
Speaking of "best backfields
no one was at the nomenclature can
present ar argument that has its share
Of merit.
What's become of the d-fashioned
kicking that George Brooke used to do?
Also Kipke? Is the foot going out of
foot ball?
Foot ball today is a good bit like base
ball; every now and then the Browns
and the Red Sox can trim the Athletics,
even with Grove pitching.
"How," asks F. j., "can Texas be so
strong after losing to Rice and beating
Oklahoma only SOP" One answer Is
that they play a whole lot Of foot ball
through the Southwest-more than
many people know.
TN more than a few instances, this
will be test week in foot ball. For
example, both New York UNIVERSITY
and Colgate put on their first big act.
which will give truer line on where
each belongs.
In the same way Pennsylvania's new
coaching system comes bounding
