S. of E. Members in North Dakota Feel About Bill 44 and the Initiative Plan The resolutions adopted by the big Equity convention at Bismarck last week are as follows: ‘““Whereas, the people of this state have been and are now being exploit- ed by means of burdensome taxes on their iarms and improvements, the payment of high and exorbitant in- terest rates on their land and homes, dishonest gradiL_; and payment in the marketing and distribution of ‘their grain and the products of their toil. “And whereas, the requests and pe- titions of the people of this state for. relief of these evils have been treated with contempt, ridicule, denial and de- feat, again and again, legislature after legislature and they have been advised to ‘“go home and slop the pigs.” “And whereas, by reason of the in- tolerable wrongs and abuses which rob the people of our state of the products of their toil and enrich the gamblers and- speculators in the common neces- saries of life, the people were com- pelled for their own protection and re- gardless of party affiliations, to per- fect an organization for the purpose of gecuring relief therefrom by means of state-owned terminal elevators, state- owned flour mills, state-owned pack- ing plants, state hail insurance, a sys- tem of stage rural credits and a fair and equitable method of taxation; PRAISE FOR THOSE WHO SUPPORTED “44” “And whereas, after the organization of the Nonpartisan League, at the general election of 1916, the people néarly unanimously approved this pro- gram by the election of a governor, representatives, senators and other state officials, pledged thereto and in favor ther.of; “And whereas, a large majority or the members of the ho.se of repre- sentatives, mindful of the trust and confidence reposed in them by the people, passed by an overwhelmirg vote, House Bill 44, for 1he purpose of enabling the people to carry out this program, and remedy these manifest evils; “And whereas, in the house of rep- resentatives the following, E. W. Everson, M. S, Lang, Charles F. Schick and L. D. Wiley, who were elected by the people and pledged to carry out this program, endeavored to defeat the same by voting against House Bill 44; “And whereas, in the senate, Albert Stenmo, who was elected by the people and pledged to carry out this program, together with the following senators, Allen, Beck, Carey, Ellingson, Eng- lund, Gibbous, Gronvold, Haggart, Heckle, Hyland, Jacobson, Kirkeide, Kretschmar, Lindstrom, McBride, Mc- Grey, McLean, Murphy, Nelson of Grand Forks, Nelson of Richland, Paulson, Ployhar, Porter, Putnam, Rowe, Sandstrom and Young, did by voting against House Bill 44, defeat, delay and deny the expressed wishes of the people of this state; CONDEMN SENATORS WHO KILLED BILL “And, whereas, the members of the house and senate who voted for House Bill 44, have determined to initiate amendments to the constitution for the purpose of enabling the people to se- cure such state-owned industries; “Now therefore, be it resolved, by the North Dakota Society of Equity, in annua] convention assembled, “That we do hereby commend the members of the house and senate who voted for House Bill 44 for the faith- ful performance of their duty in so doing; “That we condemn the above-named members of the senate for voting against House Bill 44, because they have by so doing renounced their al- legiance to. the fundamental Ameri- can doctrine, that is, a government of the people and for the people, “And that we especially condemn Senator Stenmo and Representatives Everson, Lang, Schick and Wiley for their open betrayal of the confidence of the people, in voting against H. B. 44, and declare that they have each proved themselves unworthy of the confidence and trust imposed in them by the people. “That we pledge ourselves to aid and assist in circulating petitions and se- curing signatures' for constitutional amendments that will enable the peo- ple to carry out the program of state- owned and co-operated industries, thus bringing about relief from the ex- cesgive burdens placed upon the farm- ers of North Dakota by the grain gamblers, milling trust and meat trust. “And we urge every farmer in the state to stand true to himself by sign- ing such initiative petitions and aiding in the campaign for the adoption of these necessary constitutional amend- ments.” THE SCHOOL LAW Forbes, N. D., Feb. 1, 1917, Editor Nonpartisan Leader: ‘When reading your Nonpartisan paper of January 18, I saw an article on education, by Mrs. Hollis, which certainly expresses my views, especial- ly as regards the five-month term of high school. I think that the board of education should give our school laws a very close study, so as to make them abso- lutely fair both for the farmers and small villages. As the laws are now, the villages have all the advantages. In regard to compulsory school law, sestion 1342, paragraph 5, pages 62 and 63 of the 1915 book of school laws: this law forces the farmer to haul his children as far as five miles to school for the small sum of 35 cents per day, of which he must pay 25c per day for barn bill, if hauling to town, which he is compelled to do to get a good school, where he has already-paid an extra tax to support this town school. This law should be repealed and a new law made to force the school board to pay trans- portation for children over two and one-fourth miles from school. Here in Lorraine township, where the village school is in the southwest corner, the village has the largest vote. The fathers of over half the children who attend this school pay no school Farmers’ Man Sznator McCarten, elected with the indorsement of the Nonpartisan League, one of the North Dakota senate leaders and a loyal friend of the farmers. tax at all excepting $1.00, therefore the farmers pay the heaviest tax and their children suffer for an education. You will find that the village uses this law, section 1342, as a club over the farmer. I would appreciate it very much if you would print section 1342 in your paper, especially paragraph 5.
