Bismarck, N. D.. Aug. 20.-(Pp-
North Dakota's old age pension law
under its present provisions will give
the states needy aged approximately
30 cents each per month, Commission
er Of Agriculture and Labor John Hus-
by revealed Tuesday.
Under the pension law the commits
sioner Of agriculture and labor admin
listers the act with the aid Of board
Of county commissioners.
With 100000 already allotted by 46
counties In the state, less than $4,000
has been collected under the one
tenth mill levy to meet the demands
Of 5000 aged whose applications have
been approved.
Amount 'Pitifully SmalI
Two counties have not reported any
applications, and five have return
ed incomplete applications.
HUSKY said he expected more than
100000 will have been allotted to the
aged poor by the end Of the year, with
q 'pitifully small amount" on hand to
supply the needs.
If we collected all that would be
available under the law, 1t would
amount to only $54,000-an amount
which would give an average Of only
$l2 per year per pensioner-one dol
lar per month";" HUSKY said.
He recommended an increase to
at least one mill levy"
On the present basis. pensioners
can expect to get only $3.50 per year,

Plans Are His Own

TT can be said on excellent author
Il ity that Mr.. Freiday's State ex-
change plans are his own, although
it is understood that they have re-
ceived the hearty though unofficial,
approval of the New York Stock
Exchange officials. An individual,
of course, often can do a great many
things which might not be advisable
for an institution such as the EX-
change to do. There might be
political repercusSions in the latter
instance.
Just how effective state security
exchanges would be remains to be
seen. They would have certain dis
advantages, such as the securing of
corporate transfer offices, but if OPP
Grated on the proper basis they
might prove even more appealing
to spectators and investors than
has the centering of most of the
important exchanges in one city.

FUTURES SHOW
FIRM TONE AS
TRADING GAINS
Late Pressure on BuIgeS
Checks Advance in
Major Grains.
BY HARTMAN w. NICHOLS
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, March 24.-Higher
stocks encouraged the grain trade
to buy today and prices on the
Board of Trade averaged slightly
higher.
Wheat closed Z to & cent higher,
corn was up Is cent, and oats we're
Is to Il cent higher.
There was only a moderate trade,
however, and pressure developed on
bulgeS sufficient to limit the ex-
IRENE advance in wheat to less
than a cent above Fridays finish.
While the prospective settlement
of the threatened auto strike was
regarded by the trade as a favor
able sign, it failed to have the effect
OF increasing speculative enthusi-
asm, and a majority of operators
were content to sit on the Sidelines
and watch operations.
There was a much better Ship
ping demand for cash corn with
sales of around 10000 bushels re-
ported by local handlers. There was
also fair business in oats. Both
grains averaged slightly higher, due
more to lack of pressure than to
any aggressive support.
Provisions worked higher with
grains and held most of their
advance.

NEW YORK, March 24.-StockS
pushed forward fractions to more
than a point today as Wall Street
grew hopeful of settlement in the
motor car labor situation.
Overnight indications from Gen
eral Hugh Johnson that automobile
employers and workers were close
to an agreement, was sufficient to
start sharp upward movement at
the opening, during which gains of
fractions to more than points were
recorded. Volume picked up with
good sized blocks coming out.
But as the session continued.
trading again became lethargic and
most prices eased slightly from their
highs.
SteelS in Demand
Motor shares and issues of allied
industries were the outstanding
leaders. ChrySler advanced more
than point to around SO. General
Motors showed a corresponding adj
vance to around 38. Dupont was
up rs, at 951B; Nash was a point
higher, at 2612.
Steel issues were in good demand.
United States Steel held about
point higher at around So and Beth
lehem Steel showed a correspond
ing advance to around Az. Both
issues were down from their highs.
Late demand for aircraft stocks
Friday carried over into today's
market. The opening on Curtis
Wright was on block of 10000
shares. Curtiss Wright A in frac-
tional advance reached a new 1884
high at IFS. Douglas Aircraft was
fractionally higher while United
Aircraft held around the previous
close.
Utility Group Strong
American Telephone and Consoli-
dated Gas led the strength in the
utilities field, the former gaining
more than point to above 119 and
the latter showing about a point
gain above 80. Rails were fraction
ally higher with New York Central

Puts Punch in Statement

TINE tenor of the ColonelS state
l. ment was quite different from
those usually emanating from Wall
Street. He makes the point, for
instance, that investigators have
been unable to discover any illegal
action on the part of an exchange
member. If they had, he continued,
there would have been indictments.
The major evils revealed, which,
incidentally. the existing bill will
not wipe out" the scrappy broker
contended, ARE due to activities of
those who are not members of the
exchange or Stock Exchange firms
and therefore can not be controlled
by our institution"
THE margin feature of the bill"
the Colonel held, "betrays the igno-
rance of its authors. The higher
the margin the more disastrous will
be the break in prices when uneX-
pected bad news is received. for most
small holders of securities would be
obliged to borrow to their full capa-
city to carry their property. When
a number are called for more mar
gin at the same time the resulting
flood Of selling would be more than
the market could bear"
The Colonel may well be compli-
mented on his courage. He I'M
doubtedly also will be thanked for
making a one-sided fight much
more interesting.

SCHOOLS LACK FUNDS,
MEMS CLUB ADVISED
Revenues Fall Short of Require
ments, Merle Sidener Says.

Education is in a more difficult
financial position than business,
Merle Sidener, Indianapolis public
school commissioner, asserted today
before the Indiana Mems Club at
the Claypool.
Increasing demands for school
service exceeds the money avail
able" Mr.. Sidener said. The schools
ought to be advertised so that their
problems would be understood by
the public.
When the question of need of
more finances for the schools arises
there would be a crystalized public
opinion which would discourage po-
litically-minded groups from inter-
fering with the school authorities in
their attempt to obtain reasonable
and adequate taxes for operation of
schools"
