That the prepared set*of resolutions introdueed iin the hoiise during the closing hours.‘of the Sixteenth general assembly were uncalled for; that the accusations made in the Independ- ent Voters’ circular which these resolutions attacked were not false or-slanderous or even unfair when they condemned: the league program as socialistic, that it will tend to plunge the state into debts, to ruin’ the state's credit and to pollute our public schools, was he contention of O. B. Burtness of Grant Forks in resenting on behalf.of the minority the charges made in_these resolutions. Because this was one of the most important developments of the session, the senate record of the proceedings aré given herewith in. full: + BURTNESS’ ‘REPLY. BURTNESS: Inasmuch as the Resolution has -passedI want to comply with the wishes of the House. A few minutes ago I agked the Chief Page to bring me the Resolution so I could look it over, but he reported to me that he could not obtain ‘it from the desk and I desife the unanimous consent of the House that the Resolution be handedime at this time. (Objection raised.) I will not destroy it. I will hand it back safely, I want to use it while I make my remarks. I want every statemetit I make here tonight ‘taken down by the désk stem rapher and printed in the Journal. In view of the statements ju! made by the gentleman from Mountrail and the attempt to deprive us of an opportunity to do the thing which he voted for that we should do, I wish to make this statement again that I asked the chief page to bring me the resolution, be- cause I desired, if the motion passed to adopt it, to look “it over, to keep it in my hands while I talk on it, in order: to answer thé charges made in the regolution, and, in as much awit was not handed to me at that time I ask for that priv- ilege now and if that privilege is not given me I shall then proceed to talk on the matter as I’ remember the Resolution from the reading thereof a few minutes ago. But I would much prefer to be allowed the courtesy and the privilege, the extreme courtesy .and privilege of this House, to hold that resolution in’ my hands while I am making. my remarks, and before I. sit down I shall hand it ‘back to the chief page, or the Glerk or anyone else. (Mr. Burtness was here handed the desk copy of the resolution.) The first paragraph in’ the resolution read thus: “Whereas, there is now being dis- tributed throughout the state on the official stationery of the House of_Representatives, a statement directed to the - voters of North Dakota charging that it is the intent and purpose of this legislative assembly: To foist upon the state radical socialism in full bloom; To plunge the state into a debt that will require the col- “lection annually of more than twice as large a general tax as heretofore; To ruin the state’s credit; f sw To pollute our public schools; > To appropriate $200,000.00 for importing at the state’s ex- pense I. W. W.’s and their sympathizers in such numbers that they can vote away the property of our citizens; or To take it by means of boycott or other mob rule.” I wart to say, this that I believe that there is being dis- tributed to the voters of the state a, statement in accordance, . with the copy fade a part hereof, but I want -to brand” ’ as a falsehood and a lie the very first clause_in the senténce that it is ‘being distributed throughout the State on the of- ficial stationery of the House. I will pass the next provisions at this timt to,come back-to them a few minutes later, be« cause I want to consider first the statements made in the resolution ‘itself. The next paragraph jis this: ‘Whereas, these, slanderous statements tend to impair the good name,and reputation of evéry resident of this state and cyery. member of. the legis- lative assembly,” and “Whereas, each and everyone of said statements ‘are false and apparently made for. the, purpose of poisoning the mind:ofsthe public: and ‘mistnforming: and misleading the people within:.and wtihoutthe state with ref- erence to the work and accomplishinents of this assembly;” “Whereas, this alleged statemeut~ purports to have -been signed and endorsed by the following*memberg, of this legis- lative agsembly,”: and then follow the. names. © / ae . 3% — NOT RALSE OR SLANDEROUS™., °— 4 ‘“\.A8 touWhedher these statements: are false and slanderous I shall speak just a little bit later. ‘I conténd, however, that..they are not: ‘The resolution then recites: © “Whereas, the members of the legislative:assembly whose names appebr tNereon have been associated with us during this session and know: of_ their “own knowledge..that these statements. are false.” That ‘provision must’ be divided into two classes. The first’ part “is probably true, viz: “The members of, the legislative assembly whose ndihes appear thereon have been ‘aknociated With .us during this session.” The statement * Rs)mad@ there, “they have been associated with us” I pre= sume meqns that these members have been associated with the members of the majority of this Legislatice Assembly. , And'T‘have no doubt that-what was in tHe mird of the State Affairs Comniittee that has introduced this resolution was that while the members of the minority, at least those whose. Names appear on the ‘resolution, were given their ‘certificates of-election as members of the Legislative Assembly, they were not in fact-members of the Legislative Assembly, because they did not possess the card which allowed them. to enter into the actual workings of the Logislative hody, viz: Into thé recessker of the secret caucus. [ did not know, however, that there was going to be sent out broadcast throughout the State in the official Journal of this House, a positive stage- ‘ment to the effect thet these men whose names appear upon the statement referred to are not members of the Legislative Assembly, I thought we were, at least, given the honor of being members of this famous body. We have drawn our mileage and ‘per diem; but now in the last day and what I presume are the closing hours of this ‘Legislative Assembly, we are told in black .and white by this resolution. adopted .by this’ House that we ‘have not been members, but have simply béen’ “associating. with us,” whoever they may. be. As to the last clause in that paragraph I think I can show you a little later that from our point ‘of view’ we have no knowledge that the statements contained in the statement that has been distributed are untrue, but that we actually believe that they are true, But, even. though we have become rather calloused, even though we have become rather thick-skinned throughout the last fifty-five days, there are some. things that still hurt. There aré: some things that you can do that still: hurt the feelingsof some of us; We get calloused as I say when gentlemen get’ up on ‘the-floor of this House and charge the members of the minority with being an organized gang sent here by big business, sent here by the Chamber of Commerce, rent here by the Minneapolis banks, or someone else, to pollute and despoil the people of the State of North Dakota. It makes us calloused when we hear remarks from different rts of the: House charging us with dishonesty and cor. uption and ¢harging us with being here ‘ot representmg ouf. ‘constituents or representing our own’ conseiences but willing to do anything’ for filthy lucre. And if the gentlemen Wwho‘have made such remarks on the floor of this House have béHeyed them’ I°do not blame them now in the closing hours ofthis” session to offer and to pass this paragraph * “Be it further resolved, that the members of this legislative assembly whose names appear upon said statement be -at- forded’ an opportunity at this-time of disclaiming or af- jes ibelr approval and: acceptance of the statements t Sande; : > er SH Be: ther ‘resblved, that we condemn as unworthy 6f public: trtist:‘and confidence any member of this loginlative assembly-who affirms or approves of said false, libelous and pejongns statement.” z Pipes aA Fal: Of the members of this House have ‘already sc- felibWiedged that they signed the statement, that they affirm it;*that-they. approve of it, and that they belieye in it. And you’ gentlemen in your solemn votes upon this roll call have condemned each of them as unworthy of public trust and con- fidence: And now, I, for one, am going to tell you°that I signed the statement and that you have likewise condemned me and while I do not know whether the other men whose names appear there signed it or not, you Have committed a similar proceeding with- reference to them. Now, let us see whether the statement‘is trne.or that it {& entitled to the construction placed upon jt by the committee which introduced it. And, by the way, I do not know but. -what it would be well to suggest now, that the Chairman of the State Affairs Committee, that being the committee that has introduced it, stated to this Hottse when explaining his vote that he did not know what was in it; he stated to the House that he assumed that, it was so and so, when, as a ~ matter of fact anyone who listened with one ear open and is not deaf, would know that this statement{.was init .con- demning the members of the minority who had signed_the statement that is now being published iand circulated. = gest that in the fpture before a committee introduces a resol tion condemajug any. member. of .the House such. committee should at least know what is in it. And I would also suggest, ‘N Burtness Declares Accusations | Made Against Lt rogra “Not Slanderous, \*S-hgo that ie may \ -!- thowe SMACK DAILY THESE byoie . x beva. permanent record-en the Jourgée qe this.

Pdo nat think anyone wants to go back on that statement, Its my. belief that the people would appreciate. truthful ‘informa- tion. And I think T am willing to: gonfess here tonight that the information that has gone out from Bismarck has jot been absolutely truthful information’ “Tinight say that allthe matter that has, appeared -in-The Fargo Forum, The, Grand Forks Herald, The -Normanden'or ‘other papers, has not always been absolutely truthful. I-conécde that some. of that information has at. times been colored, but Towant to assert with just as much. vehemance as +I possess thatthe information contained in the Capital Daily Press and the official organs of the majority of this. house has been more colored, more unfair and more untruthful than the informa- tion contained in any sheet that has been published: in the State of North, Dakota, either now. or any other time since I. have been old enough to read newspapers. And I want to say that the information that. has gone out from the “kept. press” of the monopoly which is going to have con- trol of all the public and private legal printing in the future, has also heen so unfair-and unjust thet any person who reads them and that alone can not form en] have xn accurate esti- mate as to what has been going 0. this legislative as- sembly. Surely that shows no disj sion on, the parj,of the. majority or anyone else to have the truth ‘go’ out. ‘Part of.the truth ts in the Journal. Parts;of it, Gentlemen, are not in the Journal; a great deal is not,in the Journal. I would suggest this that the Jounral will’ not-contain a statement, except by inference,.as it was;given.'to us by one of. the gentlemen from Stark, this afternoon, \in explaining: a vote, that members. have been told‘ that .mlégs they voted “right” upon the emergency and upon, the publi¢ printing bill that the appropriation for “some of the .educatignal institutions of thé State would be kill that the appropriation, if you please, for the Dickinson Normal School would: be, wiped out and that the people in the Southwestern part of the Sia and a iy Fy Scaca the people who are living at Dickinsof would not have:a Normal School in their midst with builfipgs of: their. own, Where the teachers could do their duty 4n teaching boys'and girls to become the future teachers\ofur State. Oh, yes, and there are many other things that’could be said if 1 had the time, as to what has been going on+at’ this: legis- - lative sesgion. A suggestion was made by one of the; gentle- men, and I have forgotten the County he‘is from, he sits,here in the front row, a few seats from the aisle, could possibly explain something about some of the Bills that were killed in the Senate, But, surely, Gentlemen of the Majority, you are willing to let the truth be told. Are you not? And are you not willing to leave to..each man the right to. helieve; as he sees fit on fundamental questiong:of Government or economics, or of social conditions, and as*to what procedure will be for the best interests-of the Slate of North Dakota? And I, for one, do not go‘hack upon the statement that. the ruling powers in this legislative session have not been, resi dents of ‘the State of North: Dwkota, but: have been self-ap- pointed political leaders; Who: pay no taxes in the State and if you want*the ntmés 1 shajl mention two of them.and you + can: guess’as to some ofthe rest. I will honor, by. mention- ng Az, C. Townley and Walier Thomas Mills and I believe eh are-not ashamed of being called Socialists, I be- lieve:sthis ‘that: if yoit could hear either of'them talking to an audience’a thousand miles from here. you wonld hear them + telling that out here’ in'North Dakota the Socialists were at 7 least able to put across a program of conimercial Socialism in a State Government ‘and that they would adopt many ef the;measures that have been passed by this legislative ijsembly, ag Socialistic doctrines and Socialistic measures. Now, then, wirat'else does it contain? First, this state- ‘mentz’.°“Fhére igvevery indication that legislation will’ be enacted, which will center in the Governor such powers over all penal, educational, charitable, milltary anf industrial, in- stitutions of the State as to place in his hands, whoever he may ‘be an indomitable political machine that will undo popular govertiment and democracy.” And I-do not think any of you down in your hearts and consciences will deny that statement. For have you not, one by one, beginning with the smaller bifs, beginning with the smaiier appointments on all official boards, taken the power of appointment from the organizations which have heretofore had it, and given such po to the Governor? Have you not even gone into the sanctity of the Supreme Court of this State and taken away from that Court the power to appoint its own agents, which they have had the right to appoint heretofore, in order td determine the qualifications of people who may desire admission to the Bar? And: have you not added the industrial program, as the genelemen of the ma- jority admitted on the floor of this House, given to#the Gov- ernor the absolute veto power on any matter that might arise in connection wtih ‘the industrial program? Have you not ‘given him the right to veto any contract, as a member of the Industrial Commisison? Why, so many instances could be mentioned that it*wduld take me too long to mention them all.. I am not going any further on that proposition. I, for one, stand behind the statement thet was sent, The statement is again made that laws are about to be foisted upon us which will result in radical Socialism. . The next_statement ia; “To plunge the state into a debt that will require the collection annually of, more than twice ag large as general tax asvheretofore. [want to say this provision may be divided into several classes. ‘I ,for one, honestly believe in the program you have adopted that our State taxes will be doubled in order to vay the debt. Have you not assumed here a debt tensor twelve times, what- ever the number is, larger than the debt the State of North Dakota has ever paid? You‘ have assumed a bond of seven- teen million dollars. And do I lie when | say it is many times more than what our debt has ever-been before? And if your program does not prove successful, if your mills and your bany and_your.elevators and the various other, projects.that you have established, donot make money how are yeu going fo pay the bonds but by: taxation and even if -you'do not pay the bonds' by taxation; is it not conceded and has it not been conceded on the floor of the House that regardless of that the taxes must .of necessity increase? And was. that not one of the reasons that laws were passed so as ‘to make the as- sessed valuation ofthis State greater than it ever was be- - fore? In View..of the/fotal of your appropriations. bill,. will you not admit, Gentlemen, in all fairness, that the appropria- tions made. by this legislative assembly are largér than the appropriations made by-ainy other legislative assembly. in the history.of the State?. How is it going to.be paid for but py taxes, direct and indirect? Has not the ‘Tax Commis- sion: under the present administration, in a statement given to us-here in this legislative assembly, told yom that the taxes « Will of necessity be some larger? I am nok going to refer in. detail to-this, but these facts also can be proven by the records made in this assembly, and the matter needs no further Wiscussion: The taxes in the future will depend upon * whether the State -by entering into these industries can make money or whether it will lose money. I think some of you-believe that if this ‘program goes into effect that in a few years from now instead of the State requiring/taxes it will be able to pay dividends to the people living within it. In fact, that was one of the statements made by one of the administration: offiters ‘that you have elected ‘to’ high office 4n this State, in contributions that’ appeared in the public press, of this State not so very many weeks ago. I want to say this that I certainly hapeshe is right. I certainly hope in ® few years we will ‘not fiave to pay taxes and we can ge yiding ‘around in Packards :@na&, Whinton Sixes instead of Fords.

I ‘am. not-here partienlarly defending the statement. bpt I am here, inasmuch ag you have made me present my case, to make this sugges- tion that the statement, was made on the floor of the House by the author of the Immigration bill that this State has been. malignod in some of the press of this country; that some of the articles. appearing in the press had made people in ather regions perhaps believe that this State might. even be. on the verge of hankruptcy and that they were- putting across ont here’a socialistic program and he said that that impression should be corrected; that it should be possible to go out and inform those people that instead of this Sthte going Into a program which would put them in bankruptcy . it was going into 2 program which meang progress and prosperity. Now w does that mean?» It teans what it says, that people have to gd out ‘and show that the program enacted by the NonPartisan League, or leaders of the League if you please, in this legislative assembly was one that would prove successful, nd sent speakers out in to the other states for that purpose, sent advertising material and lit- erature info other Stat for that purpose.
