THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, _ THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1982 1 V. A. Platform Opposed to Any Extension of State in Business Score Primary and Branch Banking * Walley City, N. D., Apr. 7.—(AP) |) —The platform adopted by the I. V. i A. convention follows in part: “We x x x most heartily commend! the wise administration of the af-j; fairs of the State of North Dakota during the past four years under the leadership of Hon. George F. Shafer, the members of the indus- trial commission and Independent state officers. “We commend the Independent! administration for placing the man-| agement of the state mill and eleva- tor on a strictly business basis and removing it from the field of politi-| cal controversy. Only by a contin-| uance of that public policy can the losses to the state resulting from the existence of that industrial en- terprise be reduced to a minimum and its highest usefulness main- tained. “We approve the wise, careful and businesslike administration of the Bank of North Dakota under the supervision of the Independent In- dustrial commission. “We pledge our administration, should it be retained in power, to a continuance of the careful and con- servative management policy of the Bank of North Dakota. Oppose Branch Banking “We vigorously oppose the pro- posal adopted by the league con- vention to establish county agencies of the Bank of North Dakota as be- ing a hazardous speculation, certain to result in great loss of public funds, a destruction of the state's credit and consequent injury to the people of North Dakota. | “We emphatically approve the ac- tion of the 1931° legislature for adopting a tax on the sale of butter substitutes in North Dakota and thus protecting the dairy industry in this state against the di trous | competition from the sale of butter] substitutes. “We recommend the wisdom of the 1931 legislative assembly for -revis- ing the state hail insurance law b: providing for the immediate pay ment of all hail losses after adjust- ment, and by eliminating the com-! pulsory listing feature, which has from real estate tax sales held in 1931 and previous years, where the tax sale certificates are held by the counties, under terms which will per- mit the owner to redeem from such sales without the payment of any penalty and at a rate of interest re- duced to six per cent. “We vigorously oppose any exten- sion of state activities for either business or governmental purposes. “We favor the development of co- operative enterprises such as farm- ers elevators, farmers cooperative creameries and other forms of farm- ers cooperative associations as op- posed to state ownership in any form. “We favor action by the next leg- islature looking to liberalization of treatment of foreign capital brought into the e to develop our natural resources to encourage manufacturing and for the furnish- ing of employment to thousands of our citizens, thereby building up of industrial sections which will prove valuable m: tural produc —_ + AT THE MOVIES CAPITOL THEATRE From property boy to brilliant mo- tion picture director.

Y “We commend President Hoover for the patient, courageous and con- |structive manner in which he_ ha: |dealt with the many sudden and ex- traor: ‘ ues that have result- jed from the present national and world wide economic depression, for his heroic efforts to assist agricul- |ture, which, next to unemployed la- is the most serious victim of the nt emergency, for his distine- » service in the cause of world ; peace and naval disarmament as evi- jdenced by the successful negotiation ty between the United States, England and Japan, provid- a limitation of naval equip- {ment for such powers. “We approve the action taken by ‘Real’ Republican Platform Okays Administration of Herbert Hoover achievement accredited to Thornton the president last June and complet- Freeland, who follows his gift to the ¢d in December, to procure for Ger- screen of “Whoopee” with “The Un-!many a year’s extension of the war expected Father,” much lauded Unt-' debts and reparations, thereby avert- versal comedy drama which opens at'ing a financial collapse in Europe the Capitol Theatre next Monday,|and possibly preventing another Eu- with Slim Summerville and Zasu Pitts'ropean war, While we oppose the in the starring roles, seancellation of war debts owing to Born near Fargo, North Dakotas a/the United States by European Scant 30 years ago, Freeland attend-| powers, we do, nevertheless, favor a ed schools in virtually all parts of policy of reasonable leniency in en- North America—the Midwest, Florida forcing the payment of such debts and, later, in Canada. jagainst nations on the verge of bank- Arriving in New York “open for, ruptey. suggestions,” as he puts it, he suc-| Approve Emergency Plan ceeded in obtaining a small-paying| “We specifically app Job as property boy in one of Long | president’s emergency Island’s picture studios.

Okay Drouth Relief “We commend the president for the effective measures taken by him t. aid the millions ‘of American farmers who, in 1930 were stricken with a nation-wide drouth and es- pecially for the prompt and liberal financing assistance provided to the many thousands of farmers in North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana, who in 1931, became. victims of a sweeping drouth no less severe than that which occurred in the south and east in 1930. “While the Hawley-Smoot tariff bill passed by congress in 1930 and approved by the president, does not afford agriculture that full measure of protection. needed in the present economic emergenc: nevertheless, its duties on various agricultural products subject to foreign compe- tition such as flax, livestock, dairy products, wool, spring wheat, etc., are about 30 per cent higher than those in any previous tariff law, and | therefore, has afforded a measure of protection for such products in this crisis without which such products undoubtedly would have suffered severely from foreign competition. “Notwithstanding the Hawley- Smoot tariff act, American agricul- ture, and particularly the dairy in- dustry, is suffering severely from imports from the Philippines. This condition should be corrected. In order to adequately protect Ameri- an agriculture, we recommend con- gress supplement the existing tariff w by providing duties on all ag- ricultural commodities imported from the Philippine Islands which compete with the products of Ameri- Approve Flexible Provision “We approve the flexible provis- ion of the present tariff law, under which the president has the power, upon recommendation of the tariff we strongly cepoee the measure re- cently proposed by congress design- ed to take such authority from the resident and vest it in congress. Bince the adoption of the flexible provision in the tariff law, the auth- ority of the president to raise or lower tariff duties has always been exercised in the interest of agricul- ture. Therefore, we emphatically disapprove of the action of our United States senators in voting that power away from the president and vesting it in congress. “We deprecate the attitude of the senators from North. Dakota, who, having been elected as Republicans, and having repeatedly .sought and received many political appointments from the Republican administration, for having withheld their support from the president in his many earn- est and laudable efforts to construc- tively deal with the many critical problems that have arisen during the Ss. “We particularly disapprove of the political record of the junior senator from this state as being utterly lack- ing in accomplishments beneficial to the State of North Dakota, or to the northwest, for his continuous and unwarranted political hostility to the president and the administra- tion during a great national emer- gency, for his notorious extrava- gance, for his open as well as secret disloyalty to the principles of the Republican party, for his utter lack of political stability and consistency. “We call attention to the faithful and efficient manner in which the Honorable O. B. Burtness and hon- orable Thomas Hall have served their constituents in congress and recommend their renomination and re-election as congressmen at large.” Fur Company Installs New Fireproof Vault A new fireproof vault has been add- ed to the equipment: of the State Pur company here, according to an an- nouncement made Thursday by the management.

O. Saxvik, superintendent of schools, said Thursday. Under normal conditions, the eco- nomy program adopted by the school board Tuesday night probably would reduce the levy about four mills, Saxvik said. Even though school expenditures have been curtailéd, levies will have to be kept up because of the decrease in_the percentage of taxes collected. Failure of many Bismarck property owners to pay their 1931 taxes has had the effect of materially reducing the amount of funds available for Dress Up, Look Your Best, “Feel Like a Million” With prices so low and fashions so becoming, you owe yourself the thrill of selecting a beautfiul dress, suit. or coat.

When private incomes are drastically reduced from any cause, public expenditures, even those not regarded as too high for normal times, must come down until the emergency has passed. Citizens of all classes are agreed as to the neces- sity of reduction. The practical problem is h-w to secure substan- tial reductions without injuring or destroyin’: essential functions of the government. “In order to obtain substantial re- duction in property taxes there must be severe retrenchment in all the po- litical sub-divisions of the state from} the township up to and including the state government. “There must be temporary elimina-} tion of some public services to which the public has been long accustomed.
