Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON —$$ $$ Debt Adjustment Bureau ‘Those interested in tiding over debt Bettlements until price levels are re- stored on a profitable basis could study the systems in vogue in Alberta and Manitoba, Canada, where debt adjustment bureaus are established ‘by law. In this state, the Bank of North Dakota could easily function @s such an agency. In Alberta, for instance, there are two debt adjustment bureaus in ope- ration. One at Calgary and another, at Edmonton. Any farmer can ap- proach the Debt Adjustment Bureau and secure from it advice respecting his affairs. If the officer in charge tinds his affairs in such shape as to require adjustment, he will arrange a meeting with the creditors and se- cure, if possible, a voluntary agree- ment. If such an agreement cannot be secured under the provincial law, a certificate can be issued protecting the debtor from any court action for debt. When the certificate has been issued, the affairs of the debtor are taken in hand by the government bu- reau. The farmer must account to the bureau for all sales of commod- ities, with some minor exceptions, and disposal is made to the creditors by the bureau of all proceeds over the cost of operation, including seed, feed, threshing bill, taxes. and living expenses. In other words the farm-| er is kept on the farm and if there is any income over bare necessities it is pro rated among the creditors. In effect, a receivership or guardian- ship is set up to tide over the farmer. In many instances this respite has saved the day for Canadian farmers. ‘The plan has its shortcomings and does not always work out as well in practice as in theory. It has been the experience in Alberta, that many thousands of cases have received the attention of the bureau but a com- paratively small percentage have been subject to issuance of a certificate. Conference, adjustment and concilia- tion seem to have been more effec- tive than placing the management of the farms practically in the hands of the bureau. In Manitoba there are two acts in force conceived to protect unfortu- nate debtors. One is the act creat- ing a Debt Adjustment Bureau sim- iliar in practice to the Alberta plan. It is really a tribunal for harassed property holders. This bureau has the power to protect the farmer and home owner by filing a notice in the land title office preventing the alien- ation of the debtor's property through foreclosure procedure. One authority on the system writes: “It has been generally agreed that the Debt Ad- justment Bureaus have been impar- tial and successful generally.” This plan is supplemented by an- other which has not been tried suf- ficiently to test its efficacy. In fact } much criticism has been leveled at it. It is known as the “Orderly |i ment of Debts Act.” This act - vents seizures when the judge is con- vinced that such action would not be warranted in view of the circum- stances connected with the case. In Saskatchewan, for instance, there is another form of Debt Adjust- ment Act which is not meeting with the favor of the United Farmers of Canada, according to Frank Eliason| of Saskatoon, secretary of this organ- ization. ‘His opinion of the pisn clearly in- dicates thet even a good plan on fara eHih F l it iG Z y Tribune for his own needs.

But whether the average North Dakota citizen should swell his chest in pride may be a debatable question. Before voicing the claim that North Dakotans are better or more careful drivers than citizens of other states it might be well to take stock of the physical situation and see what effect conditions other than driving ability had to do with it. When we do this we find that North Dakota has more straight roads than almost any other state. The topography of the country makes this possible. Ditches at the road- side are not as deep as is the rule in some other sections. There are fewer hills and mountains, fewer curves, fewer railroad crossings. Visi- bility is, on the whole, better here than in many other regions. It has no large cities with attendant traf- fic congestion, ‘When we give proper weight to these items we may find that they just about represent our margin of safety superiority. Most of the emergency measures urged savor of the sales tax plan. Why not cut through the root of the evil and place a sales tax on certain commodities and thus raise enough revenue to stabilize the credit of the state? Any plan suggested so far means a sales tax whether you call it by any other name or not. The Louisville Courier, in a recent editorial, probably sums up what the’ Congress has done to the Philippines. Its comment follows: “ ‘Give me liberty or give me death,’ cried Patrick Henry. Congress has given ‘oth to the Philippine Is- lands.” North Dakota has just pride for re- Joicing in announcement by the na- tional safety council that this state had the lowest automobile fatality rate in 1932.

(Wall Street Journal) Anyone who lived in one of the mid-western state capitals during the ‘90s will read this week’s dispatches from Bismarck, N. D., with a stirring of dim memories of things long for- gotten. The North Dakota senate voted to “publish,” but apparently without adopting, a resolution which invites 39 of the states to secede from the Union, leaving New England, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey to constitute a new political entity reeking with wealth and corruption. This is the depression-born mental- ity of two-score years ago repeating itself in almost its original language. Physically the scene has changed in some particulars. Rural legislators now motor for hundreds of miles to the scene of their forensic battles on behalf of the down-trodden, whereas then they had actually to use their mileage allowances to buy railroad ease, not the cause of it. They are attracted to the scene, like buzzards or vermin, by the corruption or some- thing that is thrown off by the sick body or maybe the corruption or “toxic waste matter” or whatever it is produces the disease and the germs just happen to be hanging around and hop in and enjoy themselves. But the charlatan sometimes loses sight of his main premise when ap- pealing to the credulity. of the public. He waxes eloquent about the rare ment of childbirth in one of his for patronage, and as though to reas- sure timid prospects he asserts that @ policy of non-interference is almost always best provided antiseptic pre- cautions are observed. Obviously the charlatan seeks to appear “up to date,” but unfortunately betrays his ignorance after all, for it is not anti- septic methods but aseptic methods that make for safety in obstetric practice today, irrespective of the “school” of the physician or midwife or whether the policy is one of inter- ference or non-interference. In oth- er words, by taking pains to sterilize things and by rigid cleanliness we keep the germs out, instead of trying to kill them after they have gained access to the field. Anyhow, it goes to show how ignorant are the educated. Here is a popular charlatan ridiculing the “theory” that germs cause dis- ease and in the same breath appeal- ing to the public to patronize him be- cause he believes in using methods to discourage germ activities. Just how do the germs of our most common and widespread diseases get tickets, not always escaping the sus- Picion of the cynical that they shamefully traveled on “passes.” The invention of the safety-razor has rendered them less forbidding in per- sonal appearance and Hart, Schaf- iner & Marx have contributed some- thing to the same end. But at heart they are the same passionate friends of the people as when William Jen- nings Bryan and S$ockless Jerry Simpson were in their early prime. And why should they not resolute these eastern sinkholes of iniquity did when corn was once before a drug on the market at seven cents a bushel, when farm after farm was passing under the hammer to satisfy unpaid tax liens or the mortgages held by blood-sucking corporation cormorants?

Personally, I do not believe ble amount of dis- ease is spread this way. Such a mode of infection is conceivable, but in my opinion it is actually so rare as to be negligible. But conversational spray—polite conversational spray—that, I think, is the main source of grief for the public today.
