The recent municipal primary
campaign in Seattle has developed
many amusing angles. 1t has
reached a stage there now where
every time candidate opens his
mouth in opposition to existing
conditions, his opponents start
crying HPower Trust" and "spec-
iaI interests"
Seattle will on March 8 vote up
on two different proposals, one
providing for a commission to take
over and operate it's street car
system and the other authorizing
the! appointment Of manager.
Proponents of the latter measure
are now shouting "This is the work
Of the power trust" They charge
the sspower trust" will get the
street railway system into COM
mission and then try to do the
same thing with the electric light
plant.
I There are plenty of tax payers
lin Seattle who would like to see
this done in both instances. I'm
less the annual reports of both de-
partments are unreliable, the rail
way systemtis insolvent. The same
is true of the light department.
When any business reaches q
point when its outstanding obliga-
tions exceed by many millions Of
dollars its assets, that business is
insolvent. A study of the Seat
tie light plant shows just this con-
dition.

There are still reports around
the state Of efforts being made to
invoke and use the county unit
power bill. This only means that
the municipal ownership crowd is
trying to get more property off the
tax rolls, create more jobs at the
expense of the taxpaying public
and build up additions to the Sc
attic light plant political machine
which is already reaching alarm
ing proportions.

The liquor issue is going to be
fought out in the Democratic pri-
maries in at least one district, the
new sixth. Here are two candidates
already, George F. Fishbourne,
Tacoma dry, and Wesley Lloyd, Ia
coma wet. The Lloyd faction clean
ed the dries in recent convention
fight at Tacoma when the vets
were seated and the dries ousted.
Now the two factions will carry
the battle to the primary polls.
President Herbert Hoover has
named Arthur A. Murphy, Seattle
railroad man, as the head of the
withdrawing commission for this
state. Murphy will be instructed
with an educated campaign to i'm
press upon the people of Washing
ton that by boarding their money
and keeping it out of circulation
the entire state suffers, and de-
lays a business revival.

that most Of the political ills o f
the present time can be traced di-
rectly to lack of party control.
this is condition brought about
by the direct primary.
However, all are agreed that
to handle the direct primary ques-
ton calls for direct action either
by the legislature or thru initiative
and cannot be met indirectly thru
advisory conventions such as con-
templated by the Bellingham
plank. In fact that idea was one Of
those bits of compromise which
didn't mean a thing.
Just as the direct primary ques-
tion cannot be handled by any in
direct method, neither can the tax
problem be solved by words of
programs or policies. The answer
to this problem will only come thru
organizations like that recently
formed in the state designed to
strike first at the root of the ques-
ton, government costs.
There is no question but that
today the state is paying far too
much for its administrations, coun-
ty, city and state. This costs tax
payers money. Money is scarce
and hard to get a hold of these
days. Hence the taxpayers
studying ways and means OF re-

e Washington Democrats are de-
termined so to be the first in every
thing this year. They held the
first state convention, and are now
the first to open the state CAM
paign before the primary filings.
When the national party repre-
sentatives were here last fall they
instructed the state committee of
ficials not to permit this year to
get by without bringing into the
field candidates for all offices. Two
years ago the Democrats failed to
nominate men for congress in some
of the districts. Not SO this year.
With the exception of the Fifth
District there will be at least two

MINNEAPOLIS FUTURES

quiet and unchanged.
Corn was scarce and steady. Oats

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, July 16.-iP>-Hleher
commodity prices and a strong bond
market provided a firnler footing for
stocks this week and their efforts to
climb out of the narrow trading area
were fairly successful Progress OF
congress toward adjournment was
also freely mentioned as a factor in
the improvement.
There is willingness to believe
affairs are now ripper for turn than
on previous occasions, but at the
same time conservative quarters are
framing their courses cautiously.
Brokers were encouraged by the
share markets ability to break out
of its rut on the upside. They re-
ported foreign interest in our secur-
tiles had measurably improved since
the Lausanne agreement.
Second quarter earnings are drib-
bling in and SO far have proved to be
about as expected, although few OF
the important companies have re-
ported How far the market has dis
counted the enormous shrinkage in
corporate income since year ago is,
of course, questionable, but the
sweeping price declines of the spring
suggest a liberal amount of discount
ing has undoubtedly been done
Business is now in the full grip of
midsummer slackness, a circum-
stance that doubtless tends to be-
cloud such improvement as has been
made.

North Dakota Pig
Production Is Cut

North Dakota's 1892 pig crop is ~
per cent smaller than that of last
year, according to a June survey
made by the department of agricul-
ture.
The department estimates that $780,
0O0 Sows narrowed this spring In North
Dakota, 100000 in the spring Of 1881
and 10000 in the spring of 1880. The
total number OF pigs saved this
spring, based on an average of SIT
pigs per litter, is $4,000.
In the spring of 1881 a total of l.
176,0C0 pigs was saved, an average of
o.88 pigs per litter, and in 1890 total
OF 966,0O0, for an average Of $50, was
saved.
Further contraction of the hog in
dustry Is indicated, the report says
by the fact that farmers report in
tention to reduce fall narrowing by 80
per cent. If intentions are realized
only $4,000 sows will farrow, compared
with 10000 estimated to have far
rowed last fall. Favorable price
changes together with adequate sup
plies Of feed may result in consid.
cradle increase in farrowings, how
ever.
For the United States as whole
the spring pig crop shows . decrease
OF about 8 per cent, compared to last
years crop.

Current Year

Williston. N. D., July l6.-(P,-Ap-
proximately Sill $50 has been Topped
off the total budget expenditures of
Williams county for the coming year,
according to tentative budget pre-
pared by the county commissioners
which calls for levy of $179,315.
Poor relief jumped from the bud
get estimate of $4,000 last year to
$4,000 for the coming fiscal year, the
actual expenditures for the year hav-
ing been $36,37l.75. A shortage in this
fund was foreseen last year and the
excess was taken from the road and
bridge fund, which then was set at
$50, 900, but which has been placed at
half that sum for the coming year.
A general cut was made in the
proposed expenditures for the various
offices, several of which had unex-
pended balances, notably the sheriff's
office and the fund for official print
ing and office supplies. The budget
was fixed in accordance with the ex-
penditures for the current year and
therefore require no further econom-
les than were practiced this year, as
the appropriation total for the general
fund is somewhat in excess of the ex-
penditures for the current year.
Uncollected taxes have mounted tc
about $l14,825 against which there Is
total of $4,000 of certificates of in
debtedness outstanding. Deductine

Chicago, July l6.-tP,-Forced down

wheat crashed down late Saturday to
new bottom price records.
With no prospect in sight that con-
gress before final adjournment would
take action to change the recently en-
acted tax increase Of 400 per cent on

AdviceS about Russian purchases of
bread stuffs emphasized that Russia
has exported no wheat this season
since the first week of April, where
as last year at this time she was Of
fering freely. Wheat traders also
construed as bullish the prospect that
congress would adjourn by Saturday
night. Some buying of wheat was
done too, on reports that from Bis
narck to Minot. North Dakota, many
fields were showing burnt spots and
that further serious damage was not
unlikely. Advances, however. failed to
hold we'll, trade volume being thin.
Corn market strength was associat-
ed with assertions that protracted
heat and drought at this time would
quickly change the present favorable
promise for big corn crop.
The corn crop generally was report
ed a week to ten days in advance of
average progress at this time of the
season, so that tasselS are already

dealings were light, and fluctiation
trifling.
Provisions held about steady.

WEEK END SESSION
OF STOCK EXCHANGE
Effort to Push List Upward
Abandoned as Some Trad
ers Take Profits

New York. July l6.-tP)-The stock
market vacillated uncertainty in Sat-
urday's weekend session.
There were some rather feeble eff
forts to extend Fridays rally but they
were discontinued when week enc
profit taking appeared The lis.
closed with somewhat easy tenden-
cy, with a number of declines in the
leaders ranging from fractions to d
point. while a scattering of issues fin
ished slightly higher. The turnover
for the two hour session was only
about 100000 shares.
Among issues losing as much as a
point were American Can, Air Reduc-
ton, American Telephone. and East
man, while declines of u point or 50
appeared at the close in such shares
as U. S. Steel, Woolworth, and Allied
Chemical.
Rails were given q momentary boost
during the morning. Union Pacific
got up IL. points, then lost its rise. A
gain of q point in Santa Fe was re-
duced to small fraction. Utilities
generally held up we'll. Consolidated
Gas got up a MAYOR lIaClIol aI olle
time but closed about unchanged.
There was some activity in the oils
but they failed to make notable head
way. Shell Union was temporarily
higher. but Standard Of New Jersey
finished with a small loss.
Continued firmness OF corporate
bonds was one Of the most encourag-
inc aepnrts of the weak lend markets
The temporary rise in railroad shares
was largely in sympathy with further
advances in the carrier lines.

Wheat Price Sinks
Lowest in History

hunters on the Chicago board OF
trade Saturday could buy wheat at
the lowest price in the history OF the
American grain trade.
Near the end of listless session in
