D., March 19, 1936. | Editor, Tribune: | A letter in the March 11th issue of this paper against the Frazier Lemke refinancing bill by a Mr. Peterson of Mercer, N. D., has me somewhat con- fused as to just what the writer means by some of the strange state- ments and hasty conclusions which it contains. Not knowing the character of the writer it is hard for one to tell wheth- er the letter, being’ so absurd was meant to be taken seriously or not. Taking it seriously I dare say that | he should have used the word I in place of we in his statements and conclusion throughout his letter, for I am sure he is alone with his ideas. The writer likes to razz Lemke for condemning certain legislation of the present administration. One cannot se common sense and condemn @ man merely because he finds fault with some of the child’s play of the Present administration, The writer states that the Frazier- Lemke bill is offered as a cure for all ailments. That statement has never been made by any Frazier-Lemke bill 3 . Any one with a reasonable under- standing of the agricultural situation and the monetary system of the United States has a pretty good idea of the benefits that may and may not be expected of the Frazier-Lemke bill. Any man with a reasonable under- eventually, one way or another, the farmer will have to be refinanced with a long term loan at & low rate | of interest. If he has a better way to jabsurd and ridiculous and there are | by q provides, then he is indebted to hu- Manity to tell us about it. I would advise the writer to better acquaint himself with the monetary system of the United States before he tries to tell us what sound money is and what constitutes the real founda- tion of sound money. If money that is backed by the actual farm lands of which our country is composed is not just as sound or more so than money that is backed by a substance called gold, that we can neither eat, wear or live on, then our money system is wrong and it’s about time we are do- ing something about it. The writer also states in his letter that there are a lot of us farmers who think that Frazier, Lemke and Bur- dick do not want the Frazier-Lemke bill to come for a vote. That is too not a lot of us farmers who have any such foolish ideas, The writer also pleads that if the farmer should be refinanced why shouldn't other companies and cor- Porations be refinanced likewise. If he does not know of companies and corporations that have for the past years borrowed money from Uncle Sam at as low a rate of interest as that specified in the Frazier-Lemke bill then his knowledge of national affairs is very limited. Tt is amusing to note that the writer has to ask why should it take 47 years to pay off a loan-under the Frazier-Lemke bill, at one and one- half per cent on the principal, and one and one-half per cent interest, when you pay off a federal larid bank Joan with four per cent interest and one per cent on the principal in thir- ty-three years, ‘Well it doesnot takea very intelligent man to see that a loan with payments totaling five per cent will liquidate in much less time than a loan with pay- ments totaling three per cent. And don't be misled, Mr. Writer; common sense will tell you that you can’t pay off any principal in 33 years at one per cent as, at one per cent, it would take 100 years to liquidate said prin- cipal. A $4,000 federal land bank loan Tunning for 33 years at 5 per cent Pays in $6,600 to liquidate said loan, whereas a loan of $4,000 under the Frazier-Lemke bill, running 47 years at three per cent pays $5,640 to liqui- date that loan, or a saving under the Frazier-Lemke bill of $960 with 14 years more time to pay this loan. This saving of $960, Mr. Writer, is nearly 25 per cent of the original loan. Needed reform in legislation is re- tarded by men who let themselves be led astray by capitalistic propaganda, who fail to comprehend the fact that the common class is being pauperized by that form of government. Yes, perhaps we are doomed to Communism, but I am telling you, that if that ever comes to pass it will be because the people were driven to it by capitalism. My problems and those of Mr, Peterson are identical We are both farmers. We both have federal loans on our farms. We know that the federal land bank system has been tried for nearly 20 years and it has failed, because the federal land bank now owns more farms, repossessed, than at any time in its history. Our federal land bank association at Underwood, N, D., is, I believe, the largest in McLean county and is com- Posed of a large number of good farmers; hard workers and good man- agers, and there is only one farmer (I am told) of this whole group who has been able to keep his payments to the federal land bank up to date. And this man has been farming here for nearly 50 years. And yet, after nearly 50 years of careful planning and hard work he does not own his farm, We all know that something must be done for agriculiure if we are ever to pay for our farms and provide a decent living for our families. When the agriculturalists who feed and clothe the nation have to go on relief, then it’s high time for all who are depending on agriculture, either directly or indirectly, to better ac- quaint themselves with the causes of this economic situation, so that we may all better understand the situa- tion and all work together to secure some worthwile reform. I said re- form, not relief. Respectfully, RALPH A, KEEL. FAVORS CLEAN POLITICS Bismarck, N. D, March 24, 1936. Editor, Tribune: I have been reading the letters in the People’s Forum and have been tempted to write before. Then some one would tell me “why interfere?” But there is so much political strife in our state and as I have a right to vote I will write a few words if the editor allows me. I read an article on “Women in Politics.” It stated that the women of North Dakota, have done much toward keeping politics clean and our women are proud of the name of their good state and will fight to keep its good name clean, etc. Are all of us women voting for the betterment of our state? Some of our married women have to stand their husbands if they are right or wrong. Others smoke and drink with them, and the women have the blame for voting in beer, liquor and Sunday movies. We wemen should ask ourselves: have we done our duty to keep our state’s good name? Two years ago I was down east visiting. Those I met, when they learned I was from North Dakota, would usually ask first, “what kind of politics have you got in your state?” Could I say “good, clean, honest politics’ and be proud of my own state? No, I was rather ashamed of our government and po- litical strife, because our people are not-voting in men who are building up the state, but rather tearing it down, Dear citizens of our state at our next election let us do our duty. Vote for a clean government, and a good name for our state. What we need is a political broom to sweep out all these new modern political parties and go back to the old fashioned Republicans or Democrats that we used to have. These parties had a sound foundation and good judgment. A CITIZEN. Editors: Note: No subscriber need ever fear that his letter to The Tribune editor will be cruelly treated. John Lofting, an English metal worker, first made a thimble nearly 200 years ago. Only 15 per cent of the total num: ber of ‘railway coaches in England are do this than the Frazier-Lemke bill made of steel. .
