Administration Is Hamilton Says Farmers Union Was Changed to Save Ad- ministration’s Face Charging that “the administration” revised.the Farmers Union grain storage bill at this session of the leg- islature “to save its face,” Senatgr D, H. Hamilton, McHenry counjg, bit- terly assailed the alleged political ambitions of Governor. George F. Shafer in a radio address over KFYR ‘Thursday night. Hamilton, @ dizector of the farm- er’s union, said $a part: ‘When I arai my neighbors up there in McHen;g county haven't got any money With which to buy things at the store, the storekeeper knows it. He sfay not be as sorry as we are, but Scored by Senator tion doesn’t see the necessity for a/ ‘t of things you folks out there on the farm know are needed and neces- Sary. The administration, and by that I mean Governor Shafer and Boss Twichell, would a good deal Tather save its cwn face than to help ‘you folks get some skin back on your faces. That goes for the average fellow in town, too. Union folks and their friends had to Vote to kill it off. We may be a lot of sucker farmers but we knew better than to let Mr. Shafer’s grain stor- of commissioner get hold of our “Then the Farmers Union had a has almost as sorry and you can't | ‘°F tell him that it makes no difference whether the farmers are making money or not, “We have heard so much of farm relief in recent years that the words sound like political bait. They have been used for that purpose so much ‘and so often that a good many peo- ple are wondering if the farmer isn’t @ fish. “Right bere in the legislature we have some evidence that there are folks in North Dakota who think the farmers is a sucker, just because he happened to elect them to office. Take the vote on House Bill No. 166 as an example of what I mean, Sought To Help Farmer “It was a bill put in by Rep. Crockett of Cavalier county, head of the farmers union up there. There wasn't anything wrong with this bill except that it would enable the farm~- ers to get out from under the burden which a misaonceived and misguided state government foisted upon it two years ago in the shape of a farm storage law. “Two years ago we heard a lot about farm storage and what it would do for the farmers. The governor ad- | 1in vocated it and the Farmers Union, of which I am a director for North Da- kota, agreed with him in principle. ‘That was about as far as the agree- ment went, because we couldn't get together on the details. The gover- ner, being a lawyer, ideas of his own and I some other folks gave him a lot more. At any rate he concluded that the farm- ers didn’t know any more about what farm storage should be than a jay bird knows about ice cream. He fixed up e fancy law, providing for a lot of tolks on the state payroll to operate a separate farm storage department, |! and we went to it. It doesn’t do us any good to cry spout spilt.milk and an old cow- ‘puncher like me isn’t used to crying about milk or anything else, but it does make me almost cry mad when I think of how Governor Shafer kicked the farmers of this state right smack in the pants and got. away with it. Present System Failed “All of you know that his farm storage scheme didn’t work and it is no secret as-to why it didn't wotk. fend: which You haven't. heard the governor | f} bragging about haw well it has work- ed have you?

And the sorecoe: misses few chances to toot and forgets to think he also { about those folks back on the and in the small business the state and the first people know he doesn’t pay any mo! attention to the folks that elected bim than if they lived in China. “Well, anyway, the governor's farm storage bill was.a miserable flop and the Farmers Union wanted to do something abput it at this session. Mr. Crockett put in his bill. Here's} st: what he wanted. He wanted to let the farmer store his own grain on his own farm and to have the near- est elevator man issue storage tickets en the grain. The elevator man would do this work free on condition that the farmer market the grain through his elevator when he decided | G, to sell the grain. . There was no pro- vision for ce since, if the farmer wanted to the storage ticket, the man making the loan could make his own require- ments in that respect.

FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1981__ to prohibit the sale of stored grain. It the elevator man couldn't store it in his own elevator he would have to store it somewhere else. But he would have to hold onto that wheat until the farmer decided to sell it. I couldn’t see anything wrong with that but the administration did. And so they hit it where the chicken got hit with the axe and another opportun- ity to help the farmer went glimmer- ing off into the mists. “I have heard so much about the administration that I am sick of it. Actually, some of these fellows here in the legislature have got to the point where they regard the admin- istration as more important than the People. I don't believe you folks who are Ustening to me believe that, no matter who you are or where you live. I know I don’t. I hope to God I never will, no matter what political party is in power or who is governor. “You folks who are listening to me have either just got through scrap- ing up money enough to pay your taxes or are wishing right now that you had the money to pay them. All of you know what taxes are. Wants Farm Tax Cut “Well, I have a resolution in the senate right now demanding that farm taxes be assessed in the same | manner as the taxes of public utilities.. You know the public utilities don’t pay on their physical valuation alone but on their earning power. If they don’t make money they don’t pay very much in taxes. When they tax those folks they consider the ability to pay and it's fair enough, too. “But if it is fair for them it is fair for the farmer. If the farmer and small businessman doesn’t make money he should get some considera- tion too, just like the public utilities do, But instead of that the farmers and little fellows in the towns and cities have been making less and less and the taxes keep getting higher and higher. “I don’t know how it is all going to come out, but we've got too much foreclosed land in this state already and too many farmers are tenants now on farms they used to own and too many farmers have worked hard enough to own their own places and haven't got a thing to show for it. “The state affairs committee rec- ommended the resolution for pass- - | age this morning but the chairman is carrying it around in his pocket try- ing to stir up enough votes to beat it I don’t know whether it will pass or not but I do know it should pass and that it will be a good thing for the people of this state if it does. “But I don’t think the administra- tion wants it—and if it don’t, you folks out there who are sweating in an effort to keep up your taxes can expect, another swift kick in the “Well, that’s all folks. Tt costs the Farmers Union money to turn me loose on the radio and the time is about up. I only wish you folks could come down here and see how things are done at this legislature and by this administration.

U. ‘W. lodge, provide that fraternal in- surance societies may write insurance policies payable to the estate of the insured; may write non-medical pol- icles; may insure children and may write endownment insurance payable at any age. Murphy Won Previous Fight ‘The bills had been before the legis- lature a number of times and al- where they met the determined op- position of Murphy, state agent for another fraternal society which is op- Posed to them. The show-down came Thursday when the senate rejected committee reports recommending that the bills be killed and placed them on the cal- endar. Majorities given them were substantial enough to indicate their final passage. Murphy still was bat- tilng against the bills Friday but it appeared probable they would pass. Senator A. F. Bonzer, Jr., county I. V, A. led the fight for the bills and bitterly attacked Murphy's stand. He charged that 54,000 mem- of fraternal insurance societies in the state would be benefited by the proposals and they had been beaten in the past “by the activities of one man, who is directly and personally interested in them.” This was in- as aimed straight at Mur- phy, although no names were men- tioned. Bonzer demanded that the senate “legislate in the interests of the people rather than in accordance with the dictates of one man.” Senator J. P, Cain, Dickinson, led the fight against the bills but the vote on each measure was 30 to 18. The Garrison bridge biil, which provoked heated debate Thursday, was expected to go without: much additional talk, senators having. shot most of their ammunition. There was @ rumor, however, that Governor F. Shafer had injected him- self into the situation in an effort to beat the bill in the senate and thus MILL WORKER BENEFITED Picked Up After T: Towanda, Ps.—"I was working in s silk mill and got so tired and rundown that I i jonly 89 I was not well must be aaa proper! f the envelope podals for Tires and Tubes.” The Commission reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids.

Seed Bill Approved The committee of the whole adopt- ed a recommendation for passage of senate bill 70 which appropriates $60,000 for establishment of a state seed department under direction of a state seed commissioner with offices at the Agricultural college at Fargo. The house appropriations committee sought to amend the bill by cutting the appropriation to $30,000 but amendment was rejected. » ‘A battle broke out in the house over a question of concurring with a senate amendment to house bill 63, the appropriation measure for the tuberculosis sanitarlum at San Haven. ‘The senate amended the bill bv adding $22,300 to the appropriation for construction of a new laundry.

The house concurred with the senate amendment by a vote of 62 to 50. The sanitarium appropriation amounts to $230,225, as finally passed.
