Would Be Improvement Nonpartisan Leader: Please find here a - list of legiclation which I think if enacted, into law would be a great improvement: ; 1. Exemption from taxation of farm improvements. 2. Recall of all state, county and township officers. . Bank security law to protect depositors, something like the Okla- homa law. : 4. A change in the method of list- ing property for taxation. Either al- low farmers and householders to lump - their property the same as corpora- tions and businesses are assessed or assess all business institutions the same way farmers are now. Z. Mortgage exemption up to $2,- 000, same to be taxed to owner of mortgage with a penalty of forfeiture of interest on mortgage if the holder directly or indirectly tries to make debtor pay thé taxes. A 6. All state, ¢ounty and township officers to be paid a straight salary and not fees.. A law regulating doctor and lawyer charges. 8. A law regulating protest charges and reducing fee to 0 cents. 9. A law-giving 60 days for re- demption in chattel mortgage fore- closure sales. 10. A Nonpartisan primary law, so that every man can vote as he likes.— S. B. Moffit, Lisbon, N. Dak. Curk Power of Courts Nonpartisan Leader: In reply to your request,: I am submitting my ideas as to ten laws which I think . would, help the people of this state. In order of importance they are as follows: * ; 1. A constitutional amendment abolishing the power of courts to de-« THE NONPARTISAN LEADER the history of the state of North Da- kota have the farmers so thoreughly understood their own problems as now. And the solution of the prob- lem lies clearly through the Nonpar- tisan League. - Mr. Randall demonstrated to the catisfaction of all how the farmers are being exploited by Big Biz and showed how they may extricate them- selves from its clutches by uniting upon the political field as farmers— as producers of the wealth which really makes North Dakota great as a state. . The discussion of the methods used by the grain combine was a revela- tion to most of us—especially those of us who have been in the habit of looking upon the grain business as one .conducted in a perfectly hon- orable manner. It was 'an eyeopener which ' will never be forgotten. Strange, is it not, how blind we farmers have allowed ourselves to be- come? However, a day of reckoning is at hand. It is here right now. Can we stick together? Good Lord! First, give us something to stick to! As Mr. Randall pointed out, the farm- ers of North Dakota have never had an organization to which they could all go for help. 'But, having ‘the ce- ment—organized effort which alone " can and will bind us together—we shall stick, stick, stick till we get what the League stands for.—Alfred Knutson, Wildrose, N. Dak. Governmisnt Should Help Nonpartisan Leader: I have been in these “diggins” some 30 years and I know, if I know anything, that the American people have been legislated. off of and away from the land for the last 50 years, until it has reached that piont that those of us who do remain on the land cannot do enough to satisfy the rest of the people. The only way I can think out by which the land may be restored to the people is for the federal govern- ment to issue money—treasury notes —direct to the farmers on long time periods, at low rate of interest, for- . restoring the land and making profit producing improvements on it and that no person shall be permitted to own or direct the use of land who does not live on same and that no person shall be permitted to own EVERYONE A BOOSTER John Krak:and family, east of Cavalier, Pembina county. ”Every organ- izer in this district was invited to a big turkey dinner at this-home and £ ound a most pleasant welcome. The only harsh note in his hoe is when, the LEADER -arrives. Then it is a scrap to see who gets it first. cide upon the constitutionality of a measure 'enacted by the: legislature or the people:” 2. A measure providing that bonds be issued by the state in small de- nominations, drawing a low rate of interest, paid by the state for work done and accepted by the state for all obligations due the state. A law providing for state fire and hail instrance, terminal elevat- ors, flour mill§’ and packing plants. law ‘providing for a state owned rural. credit banking system. 5. A law providing for state grad- ing and inspection of grain. 6. A law exempting farm improve- ments from-taxation. . A law providing for a corpora- tion tax that will equalize the bur- den of taxation. - ¢ 8. A law providing for a commis- sion form of state government, with officers subject to recall. A law providing for propor- tional representation. 10. A constitutional: amendment roviding for. equal suffrage.—Ray C. ' elver, Sykeston, N. Dak. Farmers Can Stick Nonpartisan Teader: I must write you a line about the Wildrose meet-, ing. - At least 150 farmers turned out and this is' considerable when we consider that many farmers find it difficult to drive over roads this time of the year. But it shows better than angthing else the determined spirit which is in the air. 'Never in more land than he is able to give personal attention to. Terminal elevators, packing plants and mills under federal or state op- eration would be far better than what we have, but in my judgment we need these things right here at home. We also need- better protection for widows and school children as well as provisions for destroying the gophers, especially the “Flicker tails” of this state.—K. F. E., Cando, N. Dak. Taxes Are Fierce The Nonpartisan Leader: A word about taxes. I must say taxes are getting to be something fierce, I saw something in a paper where someone was complaining about there gettin, to be too man¥ tenant farmers. think with a little investigation it will be found that a remedy for this is quite simple. It’s the way the farm- er is taxed, all around and for every- thing, that drives him to tenantry. A man can’t buy land and pay such taxes, gamble on the weather and the market, pay good wages and dozens of other things and expect to kee his farm free from mortgages, and mortgage, too ofteen means tenantry. —Fred Spriggs, Maddock, N. Dak. An exchange calls the League the farmers’ bullet. At any rate we're going- to show them it isn’t the dumb- dumb kind. e A The Farmers and Merchants Bank of New Rockford, N. D.
