V. A’s—Nonpar- tisans Contend It Would Be Unwarranted Imposition on Taxpayers—Both Sides Say ‘I Told You So’ 1 Re-opening of an argument which began last summer and raged throughout most of the last session of the legislature is scheduled for August and September when the state board of -equalization will meet tq determine the state tax levy for 1928. The argument hinges on the ques- tion of whether a tax should be levied to pay interest on the $25,- 000,000 of state real estate loan bonds now outstanding. Independ- ent officials are expected to con- tend that a levy is necessary and should be made. They are expect- ed to recommend that it be of suf- ficient size to raise between $500,- 000 and $750,000. Leaguers Denounce Levy Nonpartisan officials are expect- ed to contend that a levy would be an unwarranted imposition upon the taxpayers. Their contention is that collections from real estate loans made by the state from the in than pay the interest on the bonds and provide a sinking fund for the retirement of the bonds when they come due, Regardless of the outcome sched- uled for later in the summer it would not be surprising if the mat- ter should become a campaign issue in the primary elections in. June, 1928, cee Records available as of June 30 showed §1,617,291.41 in the state bond payment fund. Of this sum $442,405.76 was available for pa: ment as interest without using any f the money set aside for the re, tirement of the real estate bonds when they come due. On July 1 the interest on all out- standnig issues of real estate bonds became due and totalled approx matel; 000. Apparently thi leave ficit of $262,594.24 in the fund intended to care for the inter- est on the-bonds. Other collections to be entered, however, will reduce this figure to approximately $ 000, according to the books in the state treasurer's office and those in the Bank of North Dakota. Two Arguments Offered There the agreement ends and the | argument begins. The State Treas- | urer, a Nonpartisan, offers one idea and the Bank of North Dakota, con- trolled by the Independents, offers another. The voters probably will be asked to settle the controver: The position of the bank, as ex. pressed by the state industrial com- mission, is that interest should be charged off when it becomes due and payable, hence the interest pay- ment fund is $239,000 short and a tax should be levied to restore it to its proper position. They add that past experience with collec- tions has been such as to indicate that it would be good judgment levy a tax sufficient to meet the existing deficit and an additional tax sufficient to meet the dddition- al deficit which may be expected to be created before the next interest paying period comes around Jan- uary 1. a In order to keep the state’s credit | good the bank must have sufficient funds on hand in New York to meet the interest coupons payable there, it is contended, and therefore the interest should be charged out when due. The treasyrer’s office contends that the money does not actually leave the interest fund until the coupons are presented and paid. Some of the coupons do not come in for weeks and in the meantime additional collectionsof interest due the state increase the fund with the result that it may never have to draw on the money listed as avai! able for retirement of the bonds when they come due. Not only does this viewpoint con- tend that no levy is necessary to make up the $239,000 in the inter- est fund as of July 1 but that no levy is necessary to take care of any anticipated shortage. ‘The reason is that the Nonpartisan viewpoint does not concede that a shortage will ‘exist. Collections will be better between now and January 1, they say, and by that time the bond fund should show a fat surplus. zi The Independents call the Non- proceeds of the bonds will more} 39,- | !eover the period until January -1, |as the bond payment fund and has} WDGY (261), FOR REAL ESTATE BONDS) after the next primary election. The state already ‘has lévied $1.- 000,000 to pay interest on state real estate bonds and Nonpartisan lead- ers are frank to admit that they do not wish to levy more. The farm! loan business should be self-sus-! taining and would be opulently so! were it not for the crop failure last | year, they say. With prospects of | a bumper crop-in all parts of the state they expect collections on farm loans to jump rapidly and putt the fund in good condition. ‘ Representatives of the other side are not so optimistic. Most of the} people having stata loans have! other bills, they contend, and the| natural tendency is to pay those items having a high rate of inter- est first. As a result the @bt/ owed the state will be placed last| on the list of most of its borrowers, the very fact that the state inter-| ating to delay payment. On July 1 the delinquent pay- {ments on real estate loans totalled well over $2,000,000. For a part of ; that sum the state has some 100,000 acres of land, obtained through’ (mortgage foreclosures. At present | ithe state is acquiring more land about as fast as it sells what it ‘already has. With prospective het- |ter- conditions it is hoped that the amount of land sold soon will take ‘a big jump while the land acquired by foreclosure will be reduced to} jnothing. | The Nonpartisans are counting ;on the collection of much of the money now delinquent. The Inde- pendents are hopeful but not confi-| dent, Both Say ‘I Told You So’ | As the argument stands now both} sides are saying “I told you so,”| their comment harking back to the meeting of the state board of equal- ization la: jast_ yea) At that time C. R. Green, man- ager of the bank, estimated that interest collections on farm loans |this year would fail to mect the state obligation to pay interest on bonds by $752,136. Deduct- ing $140,000 which had been cai ried in a surplus fund as contem- plated when the state went into the farm loan business, he placed shortage in the fund at $612 The state board of equali-| zation rejected his recommendation | |for a tax levy and the figures ;show the interest fund $: | short 1 “I toid you so” of the Non- |partisans comes from their claim |that they were nearer right than |the manager of the bank. The| “I told you so” of the Independents arises from the fact that a shortage actually existed on July 4 if all the interest due were paid on'that date. The Independents further bolster their claim by pointing out that Green’s figures were intended to 1928, and that the shortage may by that time. Under the law the state treas- urer carries all his real estate bond payment money in a fund known the right to use money collected to retire the bonds in paying interest. For the sake of convenience in de- termining the status of the fund with regard to the amounts avail- able for use in paying*interest and for amortizing the bonds, he keeps Separate accounts of these items but all of the money remains in one fund and can be used for either purpose. An attempt to change this condi- tion was made at the last session of the legislature when a bill was passed requiring the treasurer to Keep bond interest and bond re- tirement money in separate’funds and making it a felony for him to use bond amortization money to pay interest. > The bill passed both houses of the legislature but was vetoed by the governor who charged ‘that it was an attempt to create by stat- ute a shortage in the fund.

Their mildest charge is that it is bad ookkeeping and fallacious financ- ing. The Nonpartisans contend that it is not good business to charge themselves with a deficit when there is plenty of money in the fund to, meet the interest coupons as they are presented or to anticipate trouble to the same degree as the Independents. The fund is solvent now: and will remain so, they con- tend, and future collections from real estate loans will show that no levy is necessary. Since the state’s credit, as well as the real estate loans, is behind the bond issues there is no reason for the bond holders to worry, both sides agree, but the Independents contend that failure to make a levy will merely postpone the evil day and make necessary a larger levy at some future date. It 13 incon- ceivable, they say, that the bonds will not be paid when due.
