Tells of “A. C.” 0ld Neighbor of President Town- ley Gives Views N INTERESTING inter- ‘view with an old . ac- .quaintance of President A. .C. Townley of ‘the ‘Nonpartisan league was recently published by the Yakima Valley ' (Wash.) American. The man interviewed; Bruce Dailey, now lives at Whistran, Wash., but was a former resident of North Dakota. ‘When asked if Mr. Townley is crooked, Mr. Dailey replied, according to the American: ; “Well, his back was bent at hard work most of the time I was aroun him.” Continuing, he said: ; “Townley is a big-hearted boy and honest as the day is long. In the year 1907 Mr. Townley and I worked all summer in a gravel pit and received $2.50 a day and board for ourselves - and teams. Townley taught a country school that winter and when school closed, April 1, he plowed prairie land for the farmers with. an old steam tractor. He plowed many an acre that poor farmers of that section were un- able to pay him for. Townley later had as many as 12 tractors going and he deserves the credit for developing the whole corner of the state. : “He always was interested in poli- tics and questions of government. He’s ‘a bright, well-informed fellow and no one in North Dakota has the nerve to £o up against him in a debate. He’s about 40 years of age and is & quiet sort of a fellow.” 1 ‘When asked whether he (Mr. Dailey) had owned any property in North Da- kota, Mr. Dailey said: “Yes, I have 320 acres of wheat land there now. I had three bad years of crop failures and: nearly went broke.” “Are your taxes higher since the Nonpartisans have gotten control??” was asked him, - TAXES LOWER THAN IN PREVIOUS YEARS “No, they were $22.50 less last year than previous. The whole assessment on the land was a little higher but ‘the exemptions for improvements brought it down lower than before the League laws went into effect.” : When asked whether. anybody’s taxes in North Dakota were higher un- der League control, he said: : ~“Yes, the speculators must pay more |- on their idle lands.” “You think, then, that the League has helped the people of North Dako- ta?” was the next query put to him. “Yes, in a good many ways. On one occasion the state officials elected by.the League had all the farmers send in their cream statements and they found that in one day’s time the: creameries had beaten the dairies and farmers out of $22,000 by short weight and dishonest test. The creameries had to dig this up to the farmers and now they are afraid to be crooked.” When asked about free love in Nogth Dakota, Dailey laughed and said: . “Well, Townley and the League have made a hit with the people and the grafters and profiteers have to fix up some kind of a story to try to kill them off with.” “Then there is nothing to it??” was askedhim. . o “Why no, the League has passed some of the best moral laws the state has ever had,” he replied.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Mr. Snow wrote to the editor of Farm and Ranch, pub- lished at Dallas, Texas, pointing out the unfairness of a statement occur- ring in that paper which branded the Nonpartisan league as bolshevism and {nade a_personal attack on Mr. Town- ey. ! Farm and Ranch a restrained and dig- nified answer to the charge, pointing out that the United States supreme court. would not have upheld the League program had it been bolshe- vism or. anything but Americanism. The editor of Farm and Ranch refused- to publish Mr. Snow’s reply, on the ground that the printed attack on the League “dealt with principles,” but Mr. Snow’s reply was “personalities”! We would hate to te an editor and have on record anywlk:i e against us corre- spondence which so completely demon- strated our unfairness and prejudice. MR. BEAN IS BEANED T. A. Moon of Kingfisher, Olka., literally. “beans”' one Robert Bean, who sees “grave danger” in the Non- partisan league. Bean’s “interview” was published in the Oklahoma News,: and it was to this that Mr. Moon yre-: plied. His answer showed why the; big business interests are afraid of the League, and why the farmer is organ- izing. Mr. ‘Snow wrote the editor of- “y i § f i i : i i
