and Geo .7 (Continued from page 8) .. he wouldn’t have had to pay any cash in ddvance; it would have been charged against his land and added to his tax bill for the next year. But he didn’t know - thig; it was too late to do him The Bank 4 any good now. --7/0n top of this the banks that held George Schmidt’s mortgages demand- ed payment. - He couldn’t pay princi- G pal or interest. They started fore- d | closure proceedings.— : There was.an attorney: in Bismarck * whohad appeared for Schmidt in" his ‘lawsuits. He went to ‘see him, to find out what could be done.. The law- _yer’s name was Theodore Koffel.” - Schmidt told Lawyer’ Koffel his -case. Koffel looked into it. 3 - Schmidt owed $3,263.25 on his first ‘ mortgage, with interest at 8 per cent, $2,745.26. on second mortgages, with “interest at 10 per cent, $210 on his seed lien and $295 in unpaid taxes. ‘His interest charges alone were mounting up- at the rate of nearly $600 per year. And Schmidt had no $600 to pay, to say nothing of meet- ing the principal. He supported his wife and seven youngsters only by working for wages. It looked pretty -bad for the farm that George hoped ‘to leave to his two boys and five girls. “There is just one chance for you,” .said Lawyer Koffel. “Maybe the +Bank of North Dakota might be able “to help.” g =8 . Schmidt..thought, this was. strange. = . Koffel, 'he knew, had been president " “of the IL.V.'’A. The I. V. A.s around “Beulah had been telling Schmidt-and . his neighbors that the .bank scheme /s am,_~-~Was no good, that it -would bankrupt 8 “’the state, that it was planned by a ] bunch’ of Bolsheviki, like the bunch ) " that -were raising so much trouble over in Russia, Schmidt’s native land. Schmidt had seen all this in the Bis- . marck Tribune. ‘But he went over to “the bank with ‘Koffel. He ‘met the manager of the bank, F. W. Cathro, and told him his trouble. He got Foreclosure proceedings had already been taken— }} there were but a few days more al- N lowed for redemption. : i - LOAN OF $6,500 _ v GRANTED TO SCHMIDT “An-.appraiser-came to the: Schmidt farm. He looked over the land and asked all manner of questions. He reported back to the Bank of North Dakota. George Schmidt had no way of knowing what he had reported, but the report was that the Schmidt farm, which' George Schmidt was about to lose because he could not pay $6,600, was. reasonably. worth $15,977.50. If the foreclosure - had gone through, Schmidt would have been cheated out of $9,000 of value that he had created, during ' his 10 years of labor, over and above all the debts. ~The next that George Schniidt knew il " " ‘application for a loan. $6,500 had. been: granted. ~Because foreclosure-proceedings had been tak- en by the local bank and quick action .was necessary, the Schmidt loan had ‘ beén rushed through ahead of the usual_routine. < The conditions. of the loan were ex- of paying nearly $600-a: yéar in inter- est,. on the first mortgage, second mortgages, seed loan and unpaid taxes, Schmidt would only be expected to pay the state of North Dakota $475 a year, 7 per cent on.the $6,600 loan. But this 'was not all. Instead of owing the same principal after pay- ing this interest, as he would have idt learned that if he continued i y t it would automatically ireduce his debt at the same time, ‘He together his papers and made formal . -about the case was-that the loan of plained. to George .Schmidt.- Instead- all these debts were extinguished and .| ne under the old- conditions, George . rge Schmidt 6f i]w3'e’!ufilah could make any - additional paymént that he pleased, to retire the debt, at. any interest-paying period, but if he made no such payment whatever, but only continued the $475 a year, his debt would be wiped out at the end ..of 30 years. . This is the true story of George Schmidt, taken from the official papers in connection with his loan at the Bank of - North Dakota: Schmidt lives on his farm, seven and oné-half miles from. Beulah, with his wife and family. Sk George Schmidt’s case is only one of hundreds of North Dakota farmers; who are now_getting relief from the Bank of North Dakota, after having been denied it because of local bank- - ers’ control of credit. - 5 MINING FIRM COVETED /7~ LIGNITE VEIN ON FARM i There is one feature of the Schmidt/ case that is not shown by the official records, but it is common talk around Beulah. An honest banker would say: “If Schmidt’s place was worth $15,- 977.50, why wasn’t he able to borrow up to half that amount from the local banks? Why would not the local banks extend his credit?” . Now the facts are that on Schmidt’s farm there is a rich vein of lignite. There is also a big lignite mining.con- cern at Beulah, which is seeking con- stantiy to inovease its holdings, and this mining company is reputed to be interested in the local banks..’ The mining company, the Beulah men say, wanted Schmidt’s land, and it would be cheaper to get it by fore- closing on $6,500 worth of debts than by paying its fair value of nearl $16,000. : But because the Bank of North Da- kota was in existence the coal mining company did not get Schmidt’s land. He holds it himself. - And because he has seen what the state of North Dakota has done for him as a citizen, George Schmidt is as loyal to the state of North Dakota as he is to the United States. And there are thousands like him T North Dakota today. Liberty is to be subserved, what- ever occurs.—WALT WHITMAN. * National injustice is the surest road to national downfall.—GLADSTONE.
