Hundred Battle in Tourney
Of St. Albans Golf Club
There were over one hundred com?
petitors yesterday in the qualifying
round of the -acquaintance tournament
at the St. Albans Golf Club, designed to
make the new members acquainted with
the old. A number of those who com?
peted did not return cards, but there
were enough scores turned in to make
up five Bixteens for the match play.
The draw for the first sixteen re?
sulted as follows: M. F. Murray, 84, vs.
John Wright, 95; S. Allison, 02, vs. J.
G. Williams, 99; J. I. Wheaton, 88, vs.
F. J. Calvin, jr., 96; C. S. Morton, 94,
vs.T. W.Lamar, 99; A. M. Murray, 8b,
vs. H.W.A. Dixon, 96; F. J. Haines, 92,
vs. J. P. Lantry, 92; ft. N. Warbasse,
88, vs. A. J. Blackhall, 98, and ?. T.
Shaw, 94, vs. H. F. Jackson, 97.
The sreond sixteen qualified between
99 and 106, the third from 107 to 116,
the fourth from 116 to 127, and all
above 127 went into the fifth sixteen.
This classified them better for the
match play, which is under the York?
shire handicap system, governed by
three simple rules.
First?The players start even at the
firsttee.
Second?The first player to win a
hole concedes a stroke to his opponent
on the next hole, and continues to con?
e-do a stroke a hole as long as he can
save or win holes. As soon as his op?
ponent wins a hole they play even
again, and the first to win a hole on
i 'en terms concedes a stroke to the
loser, just as br-fore.
Third?Strokes are never conceded
by a player who wins a hole on which
he is receiving a stroke, even if he
vins the hole without the assistance
o:' the stroke.
Several of these contests have al?
ready been held in the first round of
match play. J. I. Wheaton defeated J.
F. Galvin, jr., yesterday afternoon by 2
v,p and 1 to play, and C. S. Morton beat
T. W. Lamar by 4 up and 3 to play.
The competition seems to be giving
general satisfaction.
Chris Shay, who goes back to his old
position at Lake Champlain, which he
held prior to going into the navy dur?
ing the war, has been holding down
noe Sylvester's job at the St. Albans
Golf Club this spring. Sylvester has
returned from France and yesterday
was Shay's last day at St. Albans.
Shay has left his mark behind him
by establishing a new professional rec
'?rd for the course of 75. The former
:ecord wag 7('. held by Tom Boyd, of
the Fox H?ls Golf Club.
While playing with H. Adams, N. T.
Murray and George Cartwright, three
( f the St. Albans members, Shay estab?
lished a new record of 2 for the dog?
leg eighth hole of 528 yards, which
formerly was the old seventeenth hole,
lie missed a 6-foot putt for a 3, but
vas dewn in 4, one stroke under par.
Flushing Club Golf
John G. Schmelzel led the field in
the competition for the May cup on
the links of the Flushing Country Club
yesterday with a card of 75. There
v.-ere twenty-five contestants. R. L.
von Bernuth and John Matthews were
tied for second place with 77. The
iour leading cards were John G.
Schmelze!, 99?24, 75; R. L. von Ber
nath, 107- 30, 77; John Matthews,
107 30, 77; A. Doncourt, 98 18, 90.

United Hunts
Feature Promises
Keen Struggle
With the closing of the entries for
the United Hunts Double Event, one of
the stellar steeplechases of tho metro?
politan district, the first section of
which will be decided at Belmont Ter?
minal June 14, an insight is given as
to the prospective calibre of the start?
ers for this $4,500 stake. Nine sub?
scriptions have been made of $500 each,
which gives the nominators the right
to have a starter in each section of the
race, which is over the two-mile route
at the June meeting and at three miles
in the autumn, with all the money to go
to the winner.
While it is not incumbent upon the
subscribers to stipulate at this time
just what horses they will send to the
post, the following list of subscribers
and the best of their respective strings
will give an idea of the quality which
will sport colors in the event:
J. E. Griffith (Tho Brook, champion
through the field in 1918, and Katie
Canal); W. R. Coe (Bet, a Manly Me?
morial winner, and Town Hall); Joseph
E. Widener (Skibbereen, Stonewood,
Duettiste and Pussy Willow); Green
tree Stable (Tetan, Slipshod and Deba
dou); F. Ambrose Clark (Hiblor and
Corps a Corps); Walter L. Jeffords
(Babcock); Mrs. W. A. Prime (Commo?
dore Gaunt and Big Four), and W. A.

Gets Olympic Cup
The Olympic Cup, one of the high?
est honors in the athletic world,
awarded annually by the perma?
nent international committee of the
Olympic Games to the institution
which has made important contri?
butions to the progress of ?port,
has been awarded for the year 1920 to
the Springfield Y. M. C. A. College here.
Announcement to this effect has just
been received in a letter from Baron
Pierre de Coubutin, chairman of the
father of athletics in France.
The American institution's name will
be engraved on ihe cup for the year
1920, but the beautiful trophy itself
will remain at the Olympic committee's
headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland,
in the hands of its custodians, who feel
that on account of its great value it
will be safer there until absolutely
normal conditions of transportation
have been restored.

Hitchcock Another Eli
Doing Well in Event;
A Pentathlon Conflict
By A. C. Cavagnaro ,
Yale University's track team seems to
be well on the road to achieve, high
honors, judging from its easy victory
over Princeton in their dual meet on
the Palmer Stadium in Tigertown Sat?
urday. The "Eli men displayed their
greatest strength in the field events
and were only on the losing end in the
track contests through two victories
by Carl G. Erdman, intercollegiate
champion, in the hurdle races.
The New Haven men are not, expect?
ing to be up at the top in the inter
collegiato championships, but they do
anticipate collecting sufficient points to
make their rivals realize that they have
a strong team. Tho only apparent
weakness is in the track squad, but
Johnny Mack is quietly nursing sev?
eral promising runners whom he will
put to their first test in the college
title meet.
H. Landon seems to have a splendid
chance of winning the running high
jump honors. He defeated the best in
the Penn relay carnival with a leap of
6 feet % inch, and up to the present
no other collegian has presented him?
self as likely to defeat the Yale man.
Hitchcock is another Eli who is jump?
ing well. Landon's effort in the Prince?
ton meet netted a leap of 5 feet 8V?
inches, and this was accomplished un?
der muddy footing.
Weight men are plentiful, with
Acosta looming up as tho strongest
man. Morris ' and Voorhees also are
throwing the hammer well, and if they
can keep within the circle will surely
be among tho point winners. Cole is
Yale's biggest ace in the running broad
jump. Yale looks to Ford, Sweeney
and Rogers to "place" in the pole
vault. Gait and Hammill arc the best
varsity men with the shot.
Of the sprinters Jones is the most
promising. He is quick off his mark,
carries his speed through well ami
should squeeze into the finals at the
championships. Smith is anoher sprint?
er oi promising quality. Prizer is
closely approaching two minutes in
covering the half mile.
While Carl Erdman is likely success?
fully to defend his 120-yard hurdle,
title, he will find many worthy oppo?
nents to conquer in the furlong test
over the low obstacles. Walker Smith
and Watt, of Cornell, must be respect?
ed, while Pennsylvania will place its
hopes on Frazier and Stoll. Pitts?
burgh will have Brickley, and Yale
will start HeffeMinger.
It looks as if the Loughlin Lyceum,
which has scheduled a pentathlon com?
petition in conjunction with its outdoor
j games at McGoldrick Field, Greenpoint,
on Sunday, June 8, will have to cancel
this event. Apparently the Loughlin
officials added this five event test with?
out the knowledge that the Pastime
Athletic Club was promoting a similar
event for tho Metropolitan Association
championship on the same date, As the
local amateur body awarded the pen?
tathlon, and if it were decided to pro
ganization the Loughlin club will un?
doubtedly decide to eliminate this con?
test.
The events on the Loughlin pro?
gramme are many without the pen?
tathlon and if it was decided to pro?
mote this latter event in spite of the
Pastime fixture it would tax the ability
,of the officials to complete the card
before darkness sei) in. In reviving the
Loughlin Derby, at 060 yards, invita?
tions to compete will be sent to Homer
Baker, who has ono leg on the trophy;
Ted Meredith, Con Shaughnessy and
Marvin Gustafson, among others.
The senior Metropolitan Association's
'cross-country championship committee
will pass upon the entries to-night for
the annual event which takes place at
Van- Cortlandt Park next Saturday
afternoon. Five teams have entered
to da?e, but it is expected that eight
teams, and the other runners to start
as "individuals," will increase the list
of starters to seventy-five harriers.
The Morningside and Paulist clubs ap?
pear to have tho strongest representa?
tives for the team title.

British Soldiers Eager
For Sunday Sports
An increased demand for Sunday
sports throughout England is being
made by British soldiers and sailors
now being demobilized and the innova?
tion is proving popular as a legacy
from the war. The spectacle of par?
ticipating in sports on Sunday was first
introduced in England by soldiers of
this country, with the arrival of Uncle
Sam's fighters and their athletic para?
phernalia. Sunday baseball games on
public grounds became a popular feat?
ure in London.
Subsequently tennis matches be?
tween Queen's Club and Manchester
were attractions and now the demand
is general for a much wider indulgence
in Sunday athletics.
Precedent Established
In Kentucky Derby
LOUISVILLE, May 11.?Yesterday's
contest is said to have fixed a prece?
dent in Derby history. Never before,
track officials declare, have two horses
from the same stable won first and
second places, and no previous Derby
purse was ever so largo.
It carried $20,000 in added money,
which, with fees for seventy-five
entries and twelve starters, made it
worth $24,600, with $2,500 going to
the owners of the second horse and $1,
000 to the third. The fourth saved his
fees of $275.

Navy Crews Now Hustling
For Coming American Henley
ANNAPOLIS, Md., May 11.- Except?
ing only the anticipation of contests in
football and baseball against the Mili?
tary Academy no athletic event has
ever been regarded with such keen in
tre8et as the American Henley at
Philadelphia on May 31. With its vic?
tories over Pennsylvania, Harvard,
Princeton and Syracuse behind it, it is
realized that the Naval Academy's first
crew will have the opportunity of
demonstrating beyond question that It
is the premier crew among the col?
leges this season.
Coach Glendon and the others in
touch with the Academy crews are old
enough hands in athletics to mako it
out of tho question for them to permit
any overconfiderice in the squad, but
i every member has a double impulse to
keep at work with all his might until
the last moment. Not only will there
be a fine opportunity of taking front
rank for the year, but if the Navy is
defeated at Philadelphia it is thor?
oughly understood that their victories
on local waters will go for little, and
will be ascribed to their better under?
standing of conditions here.
So the academy squad is working
hard these days and taking advantage
of every opportunity for practice. The
middies will meet some of the crews
which they have already defeated
Pennsylvania, Syracuse, and, perhaps,
j Princeton- -and others, and it is rwal
! ?zed thoroughly that their rivals are
! doing their best to turn the tables. Joe
Wright's ability and that of hi? charge*
is especially appreciated hero, and
there is no chance of underestimating
the task that still I?cb before the Acad?
emy crews.
Coach Glendon saya that tho crew of
this year is one of the throo beat
crow? he has handled in his seventeen
years here. The others wero tho crew?
of 1906 and 100S. The latter aggre?
gation was stroked and captained by
?Jonas Ingrain, tho broJLher of Will?
iam A. Ingram, now stroking the Acad?
emy crew. It holds the two-mile record
on the Severn, nine minutes and thirty
seconds.
The crew of this year had proved Its
calibre by its decisive victorie? over
four strong crews, hut it has never
made any time like this. However,
Glendon says that condition never have
been favorable for particularly fast
time.
The Naval Academy will have four
eights at the Henley?first, second, 150
pound and fourth class, or "plebe." Tho
first crew and "plebes'' have proved
their mettle, but tho second crew has
been defeated in its only race, that
against tho University of Pennsylvania
second crew, while the "feather?
weights" have not had n tost as yet.
Glendon has made some changes in
the second crew, and it is a strong,
heavy lot who are beginning to get to?
gether in good style. The 'varsity crew,
as now arranged, with weights", follows:
Bow, Litchlield, 168; No. 2, Renard,
175; No. 3, Jacomlni, 183; No. 4, Mc
Kenney, 173; No. 5, Newby, 180; No. 6,
Frawley, 180; No. 7, Gregg, 175; stroke,
Beard, 163; coxswain, Clark, 110.
Busy Season Ahead

The tennis players of this vicinity
will begin to get really busy on the

try Club, of West Orange, N. J., and
the New Rochelle Tennis Club will
start their annual events a week from
to-morrow. The former organization
will hold the Essex County champion?
ships in singles and doubles, whilo the

Gustaf ?on Working Hard
Coach Law.ion Robertson at Ponn is
pointing Gustafson for the intercol?
legiate quarter-mile championship, to
be doctded on the Harvard Stadium
track May 81. Gus showed more than a
flash of his last year's form in the re?
cent one milo relay at Franklin? Fluid.
The most intimate revelation of the
life and character of ?"heodore Roose
i velt is to be found in the letters
which are on view at the Roosevelt
; Memorial Exhibit in Avery Hall, Co
: lumbia University, formally opened
I to the public yesterday.
It is the first time that any but close
friends of the family have had an op
I portunity of seeing something of the
| inner life of Roosevelt through the
most telltale of media-personal cor?
respondence. The most charming part
of the collection is the series of let?
ters written to his dear "Archiekins"
and "Quentinque." They are enter?
tainingly illustrated with pen and ink
! drawings, done with characteristic im
j petuosity. These letters are destined
i to become children's classics. They
i have been loaned by Scribner'3.
There is historical correspondence
with the crowned heads of Europe and
Asia and with some whose crowns have
sinco been confiscated. There are let?
ters from such statesmen as Lord Cnr
zon and from such writers as Rud?
yard Kipling. There aro references
to events which are now history
Throughout all these letters, no mat?
ter how official in tone, there runs c
pronounced vein of personal attach?
ment, of warm feeling and respect
for America's great statesman.
Taken as a whole, they reveal hin
in the light of a man greatly admir?e
abroad, greatly loved everywhere.
Hagedorn's Dedication
The dedication in the biographica
sketch specially done by Hermann Hag
odorn as a souvenir of the memoria
exhibit best illustrates the stratgh
Americanism which is crystallized ii
tho collection of personal possessions
It is this:
"Ho was found faithful over a fev
things, and he was mado ruler ovei
many; he cut his own trail clean anc
straight, and millions followed hin
toward the light. He was frail; hi
made himself a tower of strength. IL
was timid; he made himself a lion o
courage. He was a dreamer; he be
came one of tho great doers of all time
Men put their trust in him, womei
found a champion in him; kings stooi
in awe of him, but children made hin
their playmate. He broke a nation'
slumber with his cry, and it rose ur
He touched the eyes of blind men wit
a flame and/ gave them vision. Soul
became swords through him; sword
became servants of God. He was loys
to his country and he exacted loyalty
he loved many lands, but he loved hi
own land best. He was terrible i
battle, but tender to the weak; joyfi
and tireless, being free from self-pity
clean with a clearness that cleanse
the air like a gale. His courtesy kne
no wealth, no class; his friendship, n
creed or color or race. His courag
stood every onslaught of savage bea:
and ruthless man, of loneliness, of vi<
tory, of defeat. His mind was eage
his heart was true; his body and spiri
defiant of obstacles, ready to met
what might come. He fought injustic
and tyranny; bore sorrow gallantly
loved all nature, bleak spaces and hard
companions, hazardous adventure an
the zest of battle. Wherever he wer
he carried his own pack, and in tl
uttermost parts of the earth he kef
his conscience for his guide."
Love for His Boys
He shed a wealth of fatherly love c
his boys. When they were little chai
he took pleasure in chronicling the e:
citing moments of his adventurous ci
reer, no matter where ho happened 1
be. The letters bespeak the haste ar
ardor with which they were penne
They suggest a picture of the squar
set figure coming home tired from tl
hunt, flinging himself down, seizing
writing pad and impulsively dashir
off to his boys an account of what ha
pened. The pen and ink sketches 1
strange animals and incidents th
caught his fancy may be indifferent ai
but they have a vital appeal for o
and young.
They reminded George B. Cortelyo
who was Roosevelt's secretary, of 1
incident in the life of the boys whh
he related to Professor W. A. Brau
head of Columbia House. When Arch
was quite a little fellow he contract
diphtheria and was near death's doc
Quentin was terribly cut up about
but, being a person of action like h
father, he decided that some drast
measures outside of medical care we
needed. He conceived the idea that
Archie could play with his pet donk
he would soon be well. So Quent
went after the donkey and led it lat
riously with much back-kicking to t
front door.
Gets Him Upstairs
The coast was clear, so the donk
and the small boy travelled, as lc
ingly as R. L. Stevenson and his dc
key, through the hall, upstairs and c
ward toward Archie's bedroom. E
trouble appeared in the shape of 1
Cortelyou. He met tho strange trt
elling companions at the head of t
stairs, and in a few moments th
were retreating more rapidly th

Letters from Former Kaiser
The most voluble and effusive of the
historical letters are those from the
former Kaiser. They are in his owr
handwriting, a heavy, virile, selfish,
script, with straight upward and down?
ward strokes and a signatura eloquent
of the character of the man.
The "Wilhelm" wind? up with a tre?
mendous flourish. A neat piece of ego
tism is the inclosure of pictures ?f i
smiling Emperor driving through thi
streets of Berlin and again standinj
on the deck of his private yacht.
Writing to the President of th<
United States in 1908, Wilhelm said:
"This letter will be delivered int?
your hands by Count von Bernstorff
whom I have chosen after mature de
liberation as successor to poor Baroi
v. Speck, whose premature death I stil
lament as a severe loss to our tw
countries. Ho was not only a true am
good German patriot, but a ?incer
and stanch friend of the Unite'
States. I trust that my new ambassa
dor will gain your entire conftdenc<
and that of Mr. William Taft, who ha
just been elected to be your successo
at the White House.
"I have watched the electoral strug
gle in the United States with keen ir
terest, and I wish to tell you, quite cor
fidentially, that I am most satisfie
with the outcome. Your advocacy c
Mr. Taft's candidacy would have bee
enough proof for me that he is the ii
test man for the post, bu? I know b<
sides what a splendid man he is an
what an able public official he he
shown himself in all the positior
he has held during these last years i
the Philippines, in Washington and i
Cuba. I am sure that the United Stat?
will continue under his lead in tl
ways of progress, and that they wi
enter into a new era of prosperity,
further hope that the good relatioi
between our two countries, which ha1
made so much progress during yoi
Presidency, will not only continue, b<
will extend into the future of the tv
peoples.

East Africa has been made known

the President on the wonderful pe
formance of the American fleet wh
it went around the world under t

pleasure to learn from him that y

confidence to the cooperation of t
English-speaking races becoming t

4 Soldiers Lay Wreath
On Roosevelt's Grave
I Knew Quentin in France, They
Explain; Hundreds Make
Pilgrimage
OYSTER BAY. May 11, Four sol?
diers, each of whom wore the insignia
of the air service and chevrons show?
ing eighteen months' overseas serv?
ice were among the hundreds of per?
sons who made the pilgrimage to-day
to the grave of Colonel Roosevelt. The
soldiers carried a wreath which they
! laid reverently upon the grave. They
would not tell who they were; it made
no difference, they said.
"We have just come from France,"
said one of them. "We knew the
Colonel's son, Quentin, over there. He
was a fighting man and we boys simply
want to pay our tribute to his father,
who fought for us over here."

To Be Adopted by Woman
Who Served in Hospitals
Accompanied by Jean Thibaut, a
French baby, and Poilu, a puppy, Dr.
Ethel L. Heard, of Galveston, Tex., ar?
rived in New York from France recent?
ly. She worked for nineteen months
in the maternity and baby hospitals es?
tablished by the American Women's
Hospitals in Chalons-sur-Marne.
At the American Women's Hospitals'
headquarters, fl37 Madison Avenue. Dr.
Heard, who will return at once to Gal?
veston to resumo practice, said- that
she intended to adopt Jean Thibaut,
whoso father was killed in battle and
whose mother and other relatives were
slain in a German aerial bombardment
of Rheims.
Poilu, born in Chalons, was only
a fuzzy puppy>when his services were
required in the war, so, being below
draft age, he had to stay with tho wom?
en and children of the town, often un?
der severe bombardments.
According to Dr. Hoard the hospital
which she assisted in establishing will
probably be taken over by the French
j government as the official maternity
and children's hospital of the Depart?
ment of the Marne, while tho Amer?
ican women doctors and nurses form?
ing its present personnel will move
I on to the devastated- regions of the
Aisne to aid in the rehabilitation of
that district.
Dr. Heard, who has been officially
commended for her services in France,
and for her bravery in working under
bombardments, is aiding in the cam?
paign for ?250,000 which the American
Women's Hospitals are carrying on to

General Vanderbilt Appeals to
Crowd at Metropolitan to
Aid in the Drive
The Metropolitan Opera House was
crowded last night for a testimonial
programme to the Salvation Army
lassies who served the soldiers in ;
France. Many of the girls who were ;
overseas occupied boxes. The front :
seats in the orchestra were reserved j
for 250 wounded soldiers. Leading ac- :
tors and actresses provided the enter- !
tainment. Ten per cent of the pro- '
ceeds will go to the Actors' Fund of '
America. The remainder will be de?
voted to the Salvation Armv drive for
$13,000,000, which begins May 19.
An appeal was issued yesterday by
Brigadier General Cornelius Vander?
bilt urging the city to come to the aid
of the Salvation Army and fill the
quota of Sl.fi00.000-?the city's share of
the $13,000.000.
General Vanderbilt, who is chairman \
of the Greater New York Committee, '

With Violation of the

A promising performance cf Anatole
France's "Crainquebille" was cut short
last night when the police stepped in
and closed Duncan MacDougall's Barn,;
charging a violation of the license un?
der which it operrl-.es. MacDougall and !
the group of players who fancifully

resolutely set themselves the task of '

the minimum of luxury in the prosaic
building at 17 East Fourteenth Street,
whose top-floor loft they named the
Bam. It operated, as do several of
the little theatres, under a license per-,
mitting it to sell tickets to subscrib?
ers. Yesterday several non-subscrib?
ers slipped by and paid their way in
and the police were on hand to enforce
the letter of the law.

Scheme, Says Governor
Election Plans Balked
New Storm Cause?! by Ex*
ecutive'a Ruling on Ini?
tiative and Referendum
SpfcM Correspondence
BIS.MARCK, N. D.. May 11.?North
Dakota must take the whole industrial
programme as adopted by the Non-Par?
tisan League Legislature, or it must
reject the entire scheme, as a result of
Governor Frazier's refusal to call an
election on the group of four laws pro?
posed by the North Dakota Indepen?
dent Voters' Association, by which the
league's industrial programme was
materially modified.
Governor Frazier, in fixing Juno 26
as the date for the referendum election
in which seven laws passed by the
Legislature will be passed on by the
people, selected a date ten day? earlier
than that asked by the 38,000 petition?
ers who signed referendum petitions,
and thereby blocked the attempt to hold
a joint election on the seven referred
laws, which embody the league's indus?
trial programme, and the four initiated
laws, which would have modified the
league programme.
See? Violation of Laws
Secretary of State Hall, insurgent
non-partisan official, has called the
Governor's attention to laws relative
to publication of election notice? and
certification of questions to the county
auditors, contending that the early
election date proposed by the Governor
would violate state laws and tb$ con?
stitution.
Governor Frazier addressed a letter to
Mr. Hall to-day maintaining that laws
cited by the Secretary of State have
been repealed. Attorney General Lan?
ger supported Hall in his position.
By liminating the initiated laws from
consideration, the Governor forcee a
direct "yes" and "no" vote on the
league programme itself, as embodied
in the industrial commission law,
which provides the machinery for exe
cuting the industrial programme, and
the banking law, which provides the
machinery for financing the industrial
system. Should either the industrial
commission or the banking law be
vetoed by the people, it would be im?
possible for the administration to put
into effect any part of the gigantic in?
dustrial programme the Legislature
adopted.
New Storm Centre?
Governor Frazier's action in blocking
the referendum election has been re?
sponsible for creating new storm cen?
tres in the active North Dakota politi?
cal situation. It may be aft important
factor in determining the future
strength of the Townley element in the
?lague, for the blocking of the initia?
tive ejection was done at the instance
of the non-partisan leaders. They be?
lieve that their position was stronger
yb preventing the initiative election on
the modified programme, insisting that
the state accept either their programme
or nothing. The insurgent forces
within the non-partisan league are con?
tinuing their campaign, the real fight
now lying between the two forces
within the non-partisan league.
Nonpartisan League
State-Owned Industry
Plan About to Start
Special Corretpondenets
FARGO, M. D., May 11.?North Da?
kota's system of state-ownefl industries,
authorized by the last state Legis
ture through the control of that body
by the Nonpartisan League, is rapidly
being whipped into shape by the North
Dakota Industrial Commission, created
by the Legislature as the agency
through which the gigantic scheme of
state participation in private business
shall be brought into being.
Within three weeks the Bank of
North Dakota, capitalized at $2,000,000,
will be opened and ready for business.
Within that same period the Indus?
trial Commission,will begin an investi?
gation to determine the best means of
establishing a state system of terminal
elevators and flour mills.
Simultaneous with the opening of the
bank, steps will be taken to bring into
effect the newly enacted law by which
a system of state rural credits for the
financing of farm operations will be
established.
For the operation of the terminal ele?
vator and flour mill system a direet
bond issue of $5,000,000 has been cre?
ated, in addition to which the indus?
tries will be backed by the entire
financial strength of the state, wowers
granted the Bank of North Dakota
being of such nature as to permit this.
For the financing of the rural credits
scheme a $10,000,000 bond issue is
authorized.
The construction of the terminal ele?
vator and flour mill system is the
cardinal pledge of the Nonpartisan
League, a.'ul it was that issue that car?
ried the several elections in which the
league has been a contender in this
state. The Nonpartisans believe that
through the state operation of these
industries they will force a higher
price for grain; that they will be able
to keep the milling industry within the
state, and that they will force a better
deal for the producer in the matter
of grades given him on his product.
They do not undertake to say just how
all this is to be accomplished, but that
is their objective.
