The Cost of News

North Dakota persons, sitting be-
fore their own firesides and reading
of events in China, probably do not
realize they are scanning expensive
news, but they are.
1t comes to them as a matter Of
course and as part Of the regular
grist of the world events which daily
is unrolled before their eyes by the
newspapers. If they realized, how
ever, that every word they read has
cost anywhere from ID cents to SABA
for transmission alone, they would
appreciate how much money is re-
CURED to inform them of what goes
on in far places.
The transmission charges repre-
sent the cable tolls at press rates from
Shanghai to San Francisco. The 49,
cent rate represents the cost of trans
hitting messages at night or at 9TH
er dull periods in the day and is based
on the same principle as long distance
telephone calls or telegraph mes
SageS.
The 72-cent rate is the standard
press rate and the peak of 1924
word is reached for bulletin stuff" or
special rush messages.
These costs are borne by individual
newspapers which have correspond
ents on the scene or by the news as
sociations which list among their
subscribers or members many news
papers in many cities.
Each day for many days The Trib-
une has printed at least 1000 words
of news from Shanghai and other
points in the Far East. On many
days the total has greatly exceeded
this figure.
When it is remembered that many
messages which are sent are later
superseded by others telling of newer
developments and some dispatches are
cut down by the well-known editor
ial blue-pencil, it is easy to see that
a war in the Far East is an expensive
proposition to the press associations
if to no one else. The cost of main
tanning correspondents at strategic
points, as is done by the Associated
Press, worlds greatest newsgathering
agency, is just another item Of ex-
pense which must be met in order
that the American reader may be ad-
vised Of the interesting things that
happen daily throughout the world.

A New Wheat Battle

Farmers of Mortified Township,
Ramsey county, organized into
Farmers Union Local No. 1866, have
adopted a resolution condemning the
use of soft southern wheat for max
ing flour sold in North Dakota and
are attempting to unity public opin-
ion. on the question by circulating
copies Of the document to various
civic organizations throughout the
state.
Melvin N. Borg, local union secre-
tary, in commenting on the resolu-
ton protesting the sale of flour made
from southern wheat says:
"A cause for the depressingly
low price of wheat is over-pro-
duction. This has largely been
caused by the southwest where
there has been a continual in
crease in acreage. With cheap
land, power machinery, and
weather conditions favorable to
the use of combines, and with
corporation farming, the cost of
production is very low in proper
ton to that in the northwest. In
fact, the northwest cannot begin
to compete, and would very soon
be forced into bankruptcy at
prices which would bring profit
to the southern farm corporation,
were It not for the fact that the
wheat raised in the northwest Is
Of much higher quality, and
commands q premium over the
soft southern wheat.
The northwest is not respons-
ible for any over production. for
the supply never meets the de-
mand and always commands q
premium over soft southern wheat.
The premium Is greater this year
than usual due to the drouth Of
the past season. While southern
wheat brought 40c to the grower,
AZ northern wheat brought Toe this
past season.
