gap between surplus supplies and con.
sumption.
At the presidents order. the agri.

chase quantities of foodstuffs anc
staples for distribution to the desti-
tute on relief rolls.
Through his action much Of the
oversupply Of important foodstuffs

house announcement, which President
Roosevelt discussed with newspaper
men.
The plan. as outlined personally by
the chief executive Thursday night

relief already provided"
Under consideration for handling
in manner similar to the 100000, DOC
pounds of cured pork recently distrib-
uted by the relief administration were
such products as beef, dairy and poul-
try products and products Of cotton
and cotton seed. Officials estimated
$75, 600. 900 would be expended on such

rection Of the commission in connec-
ton with recent revisions Of rates in

Eation rail-lake hauls which were
protested by many cities in the west

loUo
Weather and road conditions
throughout the state were good but
the vote was not expected to approach
the record ballot of $4,000 cast at the
tall election in 1892. Most political
observers predicted an out.turn Of
from 100000 to 10000.
The campaign that has reyolyed
around the sales tax law for the last
several weeks, probably as intensive a
campaign as any waged in North Da.

Other issues, however were Of sui.
ficient variety to stir the average
voter. The bill to legalize beer, orig
inally initiated with the thought Of
presenting it at special election. has
held the interest of citizens who will
decide whether North Dakota is to
join the neighboring states of Mime
sofa, Montana and South Dakota in
permitting sale Of beer.
Should the beer law be approved.
legalizing Of the beverage becomes
effective in 80 days. or on Oct. %.
Another initiated law on the ballot.

eral times been in the spotlight, eff
forts in the legislature had been made
on several occasions to repeal the law
prohibiting operation Of theatres on
Sunday, and in 1880 an initiated
measure to legalize Sunday shows
was defeated, the act outlawing oper-
alton OF theatres on the Sabbath was
placed on the statute books in 1911.

Slight Amendments

has been said about them In the pres
