CUDMCDC I APT T A K llir KS IllNr 1 full'llilij LUuL A||X IM A I V I C UUl IN DIXIE - ^ New Orleans, La.—(FP)—That the farm plays second fiddle to the fac tory in the southern states is brought out m the figures published m the Blue Book of Southern Progress, an annual isued by the Manufacturers Record. Numerically the farmers greatly outnumber the factory em ployes. but their output sells for much j le&s. Though there are but 1,619,798 fac tory workers in the south, and twice as many farmers—2,281,634—the fac tory products of 1927 sold at $10,371, 793,000 as compared to only $5 672 121,000 realized from the farms. A generation ago farm goods led. The factory system was in knee pants then. But year by year industry has been polling ahead of agriculture. From this it must not be concluded that the southern factory workers are so much better off than the farmers. Only a small fraction of that $10,371, 793,000 goes to the workers in wages. The rest goes for raw material, pow er, other productive charges, taxes, j interest and profits. Nearly one fifth of the south's in dustrial workers—290,145—are in the î cotton mills. Cotton manufacturing ; still leads in Dixie. But the south has also a wide variety of industries, such as rayon, tobacco, chemicals, steel, aluminum, clay products, meat packing, shoes, paper, flour, fertiliz costs, elimina as good or competing capitalist The average saving to the co-operators was over 12% with cases going over 30%. Among the items are : some Co-operators Nationally Best Advertised $2.55 3.90 2.30 2.80 .95 1.15 1.90 .69 2.40 Ronn looks j still farther to the point where strong wholesales "again will centralize among themselves and finally go into manufacturing." ' -The pan>ose of the co-operative movement," he concludes, "is to get a more equitable and economical distri bution of the necessaries of life and ?are ,-' ™ achievings that aim we shouldn't allow advertising experts W!tb tb eir ballyhoo methods to fool ML ers, furniture, glass, naval stores, lumber.

Bism arck, N. D.— L. J. ■ former Williston banker, has been granted a ful1 P ardon b F the sta te pardon board. He was convicted in | 1924 of receiving deposits in an in j solvent bank but was never brought j to the penitentiary. , Although the action of the pardon board was unusual, in that full par dons rarely are issued to men convict ed of felonies and because of the fur ther fact that Rodman never served ^y c f the four to 10-year term to which he was sentenced by Judge John C. Lowe in district court, mem bers of the pardon board said they felt there had been a miscarriage of Justice in the Rodman case. Petitions that Rodman be granted a full pardon were presented to the pa rdon board by a group of 25 Wil liston business men, by city commis sioners, the county commissioners, the county prosecutor and the members of the jury by which Rodman was con victed. No formal document was presented on behalf of Judge Lowe but he was represented to the board as favoring a pardon. Rodman was one of 19 Bankers of Wüliams county who werelfidicted by a Williams county grand jury follow ing a succession of bank closings and the only one of the 19 who wa> biot to trial. Charges against the others were not pressed. Following his convicion Rodmia began a long right to upset the judg meui or to obtair a n a trial.

The newspapers upon which they aepend are slipping into chains. iwerve years ago there was much said about the 'kept press." By that term it was meant that certain news papers were maintained by certain in terests as a roue kept a mistress. The steel trust kept one, the lumber trust another, the gram interests third and the raüroads a rourth. But the ar rangement was kept aark until the new postal laws male the liason dif ficu:t to conceal. So a new arrangement was mace. The interests bought the former mis tress and owned her openly, recent investigation of the Federal Trade commission shows by the tes timony that thirteen of the larger daily newspapers of America were owned by public utilities, out to buy more. Other interests financed or owned whole chains of newspapers. The chain newspaper is not uncom mon. There is one chain in South Dakota; at least two in Wisconsin and one was being arranged in Min nesota when the Trade commission caused a temporary timidity till the storm would blow over. The same interests that corrupted the school text books, bribed coUege professors, gave money to officials of women's clubs went out to buy newspapers wholesale with what? With the money they had extorted from the American people for light and power and heat! The The newspapers being pretty well organized^the next step was the banks. There are 5,000 fewer banks in the United States than there were six years ago, but the survivors have 21 billion dollars more resources. The first three months of this year saw more than 100 bank mergers. This ludes the big ones in St. Paul and Minneapolis but does not include the branch banks bought at Fargo, Val ley City and Jamestown and at Aber deen, S. D. Most of the closed banks are the small ones in villages of less than 1000 people. They were cleared out first. But to speak of branch banks is wrong. They are really boot legged banks. Federal law forbids branch banking except in states where state banks are permitted branches, Minnesota annd North Dakota forbid branch banking. So the law evaded by organizing a stock com pany that controlled the purchased banks, leaving them the empty shell of a directorate to fool the law. An impartial financial authority in New York wmes: "Heretofore the competition for banking business has been keen. There has been no mono poly of capital. When business was declined by one institution there were others that sought investments. The merging of banks can have but one final result: Concentration of cerdit and of immense power over business in hands of relatively few men at the head of banking." ^ et the old gang in the Northwest state bank at Bismarck and wanted S Tte merchant may yet have to resort to î f pr t gram - «>« small ss 'z, ^ Ä. ^ was and cast his lot with the interests that are now ruining his business and hi-Tbank What nonsense was Rob ert Bums talking when he spoke of ^^;%7-^tr%t mg out his store because of chain store competition or the small town bank closed because of big bank op position knows their cruel reality.
