FEED TARIFF LIFT
Being DELAYED BY
WALLACE'S REPORT
Action on Order Awaits Results
Of Study by Agricultural
Department

Washington, Aug. 2O.-(P-The Of
flee of Senator Frazier, tRep., N. d.
said Monday the secretary of the
treasury was awaiting q report from
the agriculture department before is
suing an order permitting drouth-
ridden states to purchase duty free
livestock feed.
Authorization for the order was
made August 10. by President Roose-
welt, Immediately after his return to
Washington from an inspection trip
through the drouth areas. The presi-
dent, under power granted him by the
1880 tariff act, issued proclamation
declaring the existence Of an emer-
gency in seven western states and
permitting the secretary Of the treas
ury to lift the duties on hay and other
stock feeds.
The states included in the pro-
clamation were North and South Da-
kota, Nebraska, Texas, Missouri. Utah
and Nevada.
Frazier's office said Nils A. Olsen,
chief Of the bureau of agricultural
economics, was conducting the agri-
cultural departments investigation.
Olsen declined to predict when the
removal order might be issued, but
told the senator's secretary the mat
ter had been under consideration"
for some time.
G. B. Baldwin, assistant to Secre-
tary Wallace, informed Frazier's Of
flee he hoped to have something to
report later Monday.
The proclamation authorized Secre-
tary Morgenthau to permit importa-
ton Of duty-free feed until June 80,
1885, unless prior terminating order
were issued.
Baldwin told Frazier's office the
department was considering the ad-
visibility Of government purchase OF
the feed, which would remove the
necessity Of lifting the tariff. The
feed then would be distributed
through relief channels. He said.
however, . plan was being sought
which would also benefit farmers not
on relief.
The treasury's secretary told Bald
win many foundation cattle herds
could be saved If farmers, not on re-
Lief, had access to cheap feeds. At
present. he said, most Of the owners
are being compelled to dispose Of .
large number Of blooded animals.

INSPECTORS WOULD
Be USED TO CHECK
HIGHWAY HAZARDS
Sees Chance to Reduce Mishaps
BY Giving Men Traffic
Police Powers
PROPOSES SMALL FORCE
Scheme Also Would Serve to
Check Auto Thievery in
North Dakota
PROPOSES SMALL FORCE

Establishment Of a state highway
patrol in North Dakota, as q safety
and traffic measure. was being con-
sidered Monday by s. A. Papke, head
Of the state regulatory department.
Papke planned to confer with men,
bers Of the attorney generals staff to
determine steps necessary to form
such a patrol.
He pointed out that 10 men had
been employed as motor vehicle in
Spectors under the previous admins
tration checking licenses on trucks
and other automobiles and could be
utilized in the new scheme. The in
spectors are under his department.
Papke proposes to establish a small
motorized patrol which would first
function as state traffic police on the
two main arteries Of the state run
ming east and west.
Such patrol would greatly reduce
traffic mishaps," Papke said. Il see
no reason why motor vehicle inspect
ors could not perform traffic police
duty at the same time"
Many accidents due to cutting in.
speeding and imperfect lights could
be avoided through operation Of
state patrol, Papke said.
It would also serve to be check on
auto-thievery throughout the state.
once the patrol became thoroughly
organized, Papke explained.

81 SLOT MACHINES
SEIZED AS PAPKE
LAUNCHES CLEANUP
Regulatory Head Begins Drive
Against "lron Pickpocket
Racket"
DICKINSON RAID NETS 81
Richardton, New Salem, Bis
marck Machines Also Con.
fiscated by State

Fifty-one confiScated slot machines,
taken from four communities, were in
possession Of the state regulatory de-
partment Monday as evidence Of the
first move on the part Of Sidney A.
Papke. new head Of the department,
to clean up the iron pickpocket rack
ct" in North Dakota.
Striking at Dickinson Saturday
night, agents of the regulatory de-
partment and beer commission seized
81 Of the illegal gambling devices.
Then going to Richardton, the
squad picked up two additional ma
chimes, and further east at New Sa-
lem confiscated one more.
Completing the evenings activities,
the agents, composed Of regularly
employed inspectors and special dep
uties, seized II machines In Bis
marck.
Papke said the campaign was only
the beginning of the movement
against slot machines. His agents re-
ported to him the machines have
been in use in practically every COM
munity of the state.
To Revoke Beer Permits
Revocation of beer licenses was
threatened by Papke in beer estab-
lishments violating the law against
operating of slot machines.

phases Of the beer and regulatory
laws will be vigorously enforced. In
one Of the places raided, unstamped
cigarettes were seized.

that some of it contained above the
80 per cent alcoholic content. Papke

Of the beer. He also has under con-
sideration Of the license Of the out
of-state brewer who furnished the al
legged illegal beer.
Machines Are Confiscated
Referring to the slot machine STU
alton, Papke said, This IS only the
beginning Of q cleanup campaign
against iron pickpockets.'
Il am asking the attorney general
for an opinion on what procedure to
follow to revoke beer licenses Of es-
Establishments operating these illegal
devices.
I'm applications for beer licenses,
operators agree not to permit gamb-
ling devices or sale Of illegal liquors.
It Is my intention to compel beer
establishments to abide by this pledge
or lose their license"
The machines seized at Dickinson
have been stored with the sheriff
there, while machines confiscated at
New Salem and Richardton were
brought to Bismarck and placed in
possession Of the chief Of police, who
also took over the machines OBJ
tanned In Bismarck until they are
moved to the regulatory department

State Will "Smart and Burn"
at Revelations Of Graft,
Says Senator

Wahpeton, N. D., Aug. 20.-(R)-
Declaring "our state Is certain to
ultimately smart and burn under the
knowledge Of how rampant has been
graft and corruption in various de-
partments Of our state government"
U. 8. Senator Gerald p. Nye, In an
address here Sunday, launched an at
tack on the administration Of ousted
Gov. William LANCER.
He addressed q picnic OF the Cath
olic congregation Of Wahpeton, dis
cussing commercialism in war and
then the state political situation. Re-
cent events incident to the ousting Of
LANCER were termed "a political night
mare" by Nye.
Perhaps we will do we'll to take q
holiday from politics for few weeks,
for we are certain to get fill OF II
in October and November" Nye said.
And when we awaken fully to what
has been going on in our state gov
eminent the past year or 50 there will
be found cause for tears Of laughter
and tears Of anger. While we may
laugh over the many funny features
the campaign will present, our state Is
certain to ultimately smart and burn
under the knowledge Of how rampant
has been graft and corruption in va
rious departments Of our state gov
eminent"
Senator Nye declared It was mot
difficult to understand some men who
had been carried off their feet by the
momentary LANCER storm-state legis-
lators, for example. who are in the
business Of selling things the state
buys"
Cites Prices Paid for Oil
1T Is interesting to compare the
prices the state highway department
paid for the same product during the
LANCER days." Then reading from
data he said was prepared from the
highway department records for 1898.
Nye said:
TN Grand Forks the highway de-
rNrtment paid IL cents per pound for
grease purchased Of the Farmers
Union station while It paid Is ITO
cents for grease purchased from the
Consumers Oil company, q Richland
county corporation, believe.
AT Valley City the highway de-
pertinent paid the Farmers Union
sl1.94 for 81 gallons Of No. 60 oil ct
the rate Of 38h cents per gallon. At
the same place it paid the Consumers
OIL company q price Of $24l.80 for 600
gallons OF No. 30-4O-50-60 oil 1t
Sc 97/l00 cents per gallon.
Maybe II I was the Consumers Oh
company I would travel around neigh
boring states, too, taking tickets at
the door ct the LANCER defense fund

who will take the time to learn the

OF certain men these days, and these
reasons vii. put : stop 10 the tin cup

This country. in the depths of a

You who have never had any part

It seems as if in times like these

CAMP HILL, Ala.-Among the
