Scott Cameron, attorney for Pot- ter at his trial here and in McLean county, will present witnesses in sup- Port of the plea for clemency, among whom will be members of the jury which heard the case at the first trial, held in Burleigh county, and which subsequently disagreed. Judge Fred Jansonius, Bismarck, who presided at both trials, also is ex- ected to appear and give the pardon board the benefit of his observations on the case. Under the law, Potter is not now eligible to pardon, the statute requir- ing that a life prisoner must serve half of his life expectancy before the board can consider his case. In the instant case, however, the pardon board will review the whole matter and,'if it reaches the conclu- sion that the life sentence was too; severe under the circumstances, it can | commute the sentence. This would eliminate the life-term bar and would make it possible for Potter to renew his clemency plea at a later date.

D., Dec. 14, 1932. Editor, Tribune: In these days, when any.public man speaks on farm relief those who re- Port the event tell the world that, though so and so didn’t say it in so many words, he was advocating the Voluntary Domestic Allotment Plan. ‘We must have some plan, of course, but do you think this is a perfect plan? H. B. 12461, on allotment on page 4 lines 16'to 19: charge shall be paid on any commod- | ity processed, manufactured, or dis- tributed by or for producers thereof | for consumption by their own fam-; ilies, employes, or households.” This would allow a farmer to butch-, er his own meats without paying tax, which is alright, but it would also al- jow him to take wheat to mill for; flour it seems. This would allow him, to get his flour without paying the $1 per 100-lb. sack which would be re- quired to raise the price 40c per ‘bushel. Then his father and his mother and his sister and his brother, his uncle and his cousin and his aunt would ask him to get a little flour for them. There are about 30 million farm People. Of course they don’t all raise any one thing except they are all raising and should raise Cain till prices are better, but how-are you g0- ing to get the money to pay the allot- ments if so many people don’t pay any tax. No, if the farmer gets a premium he can afford to pay the tax. Wouldn't it be better if it read that when an article is processed by the! producer he shall pay no tax but when it is processed by someone else the tax shall be paid. It is said the allotment plan would raise the price of bread about 1c # loaf, so if the bakers will just remember what they told us when prices were falling i. e. that the price of the flour was one of the smallest items, in computing the price of bread, it wouldn’t be so bad. Another thing which will be true, no matter which plan is followed is that there is no surplus of hard spring wheat. It is all used in this country so if we get only a percentage of all the wheat we are giving up a point to the winter wheat growers. Farmers must join to receive the benefits of this plan and agree to re- duce acreage. Do you think they will reduce acreage? In President Hoo- ver's messagt congress he mention- ed the individualistic tendencies of the American people. Of these prin- ciples we should not allow any meas- ure to rob us. Also he is endeavoring to balance the budget, but if the budget was bal- anced one day it would be unbalanced the next with falling prices and halt- ing business. ‘The allotment plan assures us of the tariff, 42c on wheat less expenses on about 75 percent of the wheat, making about 30c on all. Wé use about 650 million bushels a year and for round numbers we can take 800 million for the crop. Well, the price now is about 30c, with the allotment 70c for 3-4 ‘or 60c for all. (Can you riase wheat for) @0c?). But suppose this common price | goes down to 20c, there is nothing to Rinder, no stabilized price, then what just what it was yesterday. Am I going too far? Yes, but sup- anyone had told us that from Mite tail in 1927 when wheat was $1.08 that in five years wheat would actu- ally be worth only 26c—it would have; sounded ridiculous. Well, I have just plan to be cracked up a ‘commerce, iSmoke But No Fire THE BISMARCK ‘TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23, 19382 or other disaster. We have our plan in print and would like to send you one at cost which is 3c. Then if we can get enough members we would start a pamphlet newspaper and print the principal farrh relief plans so you could read and study them. It is our business, everyone's, for farm relief means depression relief, and still I @on’t suppose one person in 100 has read over these plans. I have received five of them. Some might think there 4s no use to go further but it has looked that way before. The Farmers Holiday people are not quitting—un- |’ derstand they are making plans to do} something in March. It will be easy enough to quit if a bill is passed. Another thing, the Nor- beck bill was only for one year and the present much talked of allotment pldn is said to be for two years. So to study over and become acquainted with and help decide on a good plan is nothing amiss. We have distributed quite a number of copies of our plan and have a num- ber of letters in regard to it from congressmen, governors, chambers of et al. Through the Kindness of some of our congressmen we have been able to distribute a copy to each member of congress. Some perhaps think that a farm plan simply seeks to take money from one class and give it to another but this is not its motive. It seeks to cre- ate an equitable economic status be- tween ulture and other values and industries.. This with proper di- vision of labor and careful expansion of currency would lead afound the corner to the realm of prosperity. Too, this is not socialism but will keep in- dividual enterprise inviolate. It is not good policy to work against other farm plans or organizations but for all to work together toward the best arrangement which will be pos- sible and practical. If you send for a copy of our plan please send pennies instead of stamps for we must pay printers out of this. You may address The Farmers Fair Price ... Plan or Hugh Redington. ; Wilton, N. D.
