BIG SHOW COMING

THURSDAY promises to be the big day
of the week, and it appears from all
angles that it is going to be a mighty
busy week.
Of course We have the Olympics over
shadowing almost everything else out
here, but Thursday offers q double-head-
er attraction back in the east.
In the main ring, President Hoover
will be notified (and doubtless surprised)
that he has been nominated to lead the
Republican party again in the presiden-
tial campaign. Rumors have it that the
President will accept the nomination and
that he is already preparing speech of
acceptance.
The other ring will be pitched at AL
bany, n. Y, where the Democratic pres
idential nominee, will be acting as Judge
on none other than the Hon. James j.
Walker, mayor of the City of New York,
who is on the grill just now, for many
and sundry alleged wrong-doings.
This will be public hearing and
promises to attract almost as much at
tention as the main show at Washing
ton. 1t is quite likely that it will be
much more lively Walker being a great
Snowman. 1t is a ''hot spot" for Cover
nor Roosevelt. If he says Jimmy is
Sullly, lie lOSeS Out Ou Tie
votes. If he decorates the mayor with
a bucket of whitewash, anti-Tammany
Democrats in New York and elsewhere,
may kick over the traces.
Of course there can be no national at
fractions without Wall street being in on
the deal in some fashion or other, and
part of the spotlight must be shifted
there so we can watch the "baby BOOM
that has been going on for several days.
Here's hoping that it will be on the job
Thursday, gradually getting out of the
baby class and showing signs of reach
ing maturity.
We can imagine many things for the
bonus army, but we can't imagine them
taking up their abode in Mexico.
A week more of Olympics and then we
can get back to Jones, Smith and Brown
thank heaven.
Socially Carlo seems to be flop, but
she should worry, those whom she snubs
will be the first to see her future pictures
and that is what counts-With her.
Sometimes one wonders whether it
would be better for Germany to have a
new war instead of an election.

ISAY CROP MORTGAGE
LAW HITS FARMERS
Fargo Experts Fee! Statute
Creates Difficulty For
Relief Program

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 15.-(P)-North
Dakota farmers who owe money to
the federal government for feed and
seed loans may be barred from TAX
ing advantage of President Hoover's
relief program for those borrowers
who find it difficult to repay at the
present time, because Of the law
passed in this state at the June 'pri-
maries which outlaws crop mortgages.
One of the regulations announced
by federal officials as requisite when
borrowers desire to take advantage
OF the relief program and delay re-
payments on these loans to future
years. Fargo experts pointed out read:
Not being in position to determine
at this time just what renewal con-
greSs will require borrowers must put
themselves in position to comply when
congress definitely acts, deliver to
the secretary of agriculture a first
lien on the 1888 crops"
Thus, before the government will
extend the loan payments, thus free
ing the borrowers from need of i'm
mediate payment, it requires that the
borrower give give crop lien on his
next crops.
But in North Dakota, it was pointed
out, the voters in June passed a meas
ure which prohibits any farmer from
giving a first or any other lien ON his
crops.
Farmers of the state, finding what
a handicap this measure is, said the

n. D. RATE EXPERT
RAPS RATE BOOST
Hendricks Opposes Railroad
Proposal to Increase
Charges on Livestock

Opposition to proposed increases III
the livestock rates from and to North
Dakota was expressed by E. M. Hen
bricks, traffic expert for the state
railroad commission in arguments be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in Washington Friday, &C.
cording to information received here.
Hendricks argued in the re-opened
livestock rate case that the present
rates are maximum reasonable rates
and that under no circustanmces
should they be increased"
I'm fact" he said. the present
rates are too high considering the
lew prices received by farmers"
The railroads application for a 20
per cent increase in rates, or any in
crease, Hendricks told the federal
commission, should be promptly de-
MED.
He stressed the low prices being re-
ceived for farm commodities and said
that an increase in rates would work
q great hardship on farmers of the
state. The increase, as proposed by
the carriers. Hendricks contended,
would make the farm situation more
serious.
Under the present rates. he said, a
large volume Of livestock is now being
trucked to market and any increase
in the rates will tend to deprive the
railroads OF livestock tonnage.
