North Dakota Congressman Young named chair of agricultural committee
The Northwest press lauds George M. Young of Valley City for rising to the chairmanship, calling it recognition of his ability and service. Editorials condemn profiteers who cash soldier bonus checks at 150 percent and urge fair treatment and patience in political appointments. The piece notes agitation in North Dakota’s political scene, with reactions to Beverley’s resignation and Gunder Olson slated as revenue collector, urging restraint and proper terms for officials. Park beautification proposals encourage lodges to maintain city plots, funded by the organizations, to enhance the park for visitors.
