a ONDAY, SEPT. 30, 191 DEBT WITHOUT LIMIT ISSUE _- BEFORE PEOPLE’ Ss. J. Dovle Says Taxpayers Must ‘Decide Amount of Burden They Will Assume - WHY FRAZIER IS AFRAID Townley Governor Fears to Dis- cuss Planks in League’s Socialist Platform Hazen, 'N. D., Sept. 2 public debt is again an the’people of North Dakota, S. J. Doyle, Democratic candidate tor gov- ernor declared at a meeting held here Saturday night, when he analyzed the} provision proposed in ‘one of the group of amendments initiated by the Sosial- ists wha_direct Nonpartisan league noliciés.’ Mr. Doyle pointed out conclus- ively.that instead of a $12.000,000 / Proposed public debt limit, the so’ cialists have, in fact,.absolutely removed the limit entirely, and if the proposed amendment to the state constitution is adopted in the November election, the way is op- ened to unlimited issuance of bande, just as the limt was en- tirely removed in the notorious and discredited H. B. 44, present- ed by the socialists to the last legislature. Mr. ‘Doyle charges, ‘too, that just as they did in H. B. 44, the “socialists are seeking to put their unlimited debt provision-into the constitution by stealth, having failed in the seven months that the amendments have been before the people, to at any time -indi- cate-that the amendment was any-~ thing but 2 $12,000,000 limit prop- osition. Many Nonpartisan league members attended the Hazen meeting at which Mr. Doyle first outlined the unlimited public debt plan‘as proposed by the socialists. ‘They ;were intensely inter- ested in the anaylsis, and many 0} them declared to Mr. Doyle, after th meeting, their appreciation, of his ex- planation of.the real intent’of the pro- posed amendment in question. Afraid of Platform. “Many people of this state are won- dering why G6v. Frazier, who has now had /almost.three years’ experience on the stump, should hesitate to meet me, a beginner in joint dis ussion of .the issues of this campaign,” , said’ M?. Doyle. -“‘It isn’t myself that he is afraid-of, but it is the platform that he fears to discuss, and well he may be- cause he stands onan invisble plat. form supporting a program full ofj holes and jokers. “THe program that he ‘is advocating is mot the same as the plans that are pa reaenETe : ~\| being- worked out for his administra- jtion in seéret chambers tn another | State, by cunning-] politicians who have or any other state. Their whole in- terest in the matter is to“live in glory while they watch us try out’ some uto- pian dreams of parlor philosophers, who never did a day’s manuar labor in their life. “Two years ago Governor Frazier said, in his pre-eléction speeches, speaking of the changes in govern: ment, that we must move slowly and cautiously try one one thing at a time, because many interests were involved. Eut no sooner had the legislature convened, than he urged the passage of a bill that proposed’ more revolu- tionary changes in our, constitution than has ever been-proposed in the history of any state in the Union, and all of them at once. “sNow we are being urged to adopt cunningly drawn so as to seem harm- less, and give us the same feeling of security that Mr. Fraziet's pre-elec- tion speeches did ‘two years ago, but which will, if adopted, produce jist as .ig‘surprises when the legislature con- venes next anuary as did H. B. 44. | "One of the amendments proposed |is to Section 182 of the present consti- | tution, the proposed amendment being as follows: 1 “‘Thte state may issue or guar- antee the payment of bonds» pro- vided that all bonds IN EXCESS of $2,000,000 shel be secured by first mortgage upon real estate in amounts not to exceed one- halt ofs, | its value, or upon’ real estate’and personal property of state-owned utilities, enterprises or industries, in amounts not exveéding its | value, and, provided’ further, that 4 the estate shall not issue or guar- antee bonds upon property of state owned utilities, enterprises or industries in,exceSs of ten mil- lion dollars.’ Md “You will notice that bondes that the state may issue or gnarantee are | divided into three classes,” continued | Mr. Doyle. The Real Purpose. “First, blanket bonds egainst all ‘property in the state up to. $2,000,000. “Second, bonds against: first mort- gages dn real estate up to'50 per cent of the value of every acré of land in the state, both farm and city real es- jtate, and the blue sky as the limit on this class of bonds. “Third bonds upon real oF personal f|.al property of state owned utilities, nterprises-or industries in amounts not to exceéd its whole value and the limit on this class of: bonds is $10,- 000,009, ; “In this ronosed amendment the socialists have not dared to face the people uite so openly as they did in If. B. 44, They are apparently rais- ling the debt, limit from $200.000- to | $12,000,000, sixty times greater than it lis ah Htesen , but as a matter of fact they are absolutely taking the limit off debt that the state may incur, BUY W, & &- } “The Romance of Tarzan” at the | Bismarck Theatre and Wednesday Thursday. / avy w.'s, ss (Continued From Page One.)
