' 4 ‘ with an exemption on improvements has the objection that in order to tax a few speculators we must tax many more real farmers. Moreover, we are producing so much now that we can not obtain the cost of production, then why try to force the vacant land owners into competition with us? There is no justice in putting a spe- cial tax on land ownership. The big business interests are demanding it because when the excess profits.tax is _repealed * there must be some new source from which to collect the taxes. The manufacturing and business in- terests are backing the Nolan bill be-- cause they see that it will relieve them ofa billion dollars in taxes. Why should a tax be put upon the man who possesses mora than $10,000 in land value and not also be put upon the man who possesses more than $10,- 000 in notes or bonds, or in'a store, a mill, a factory, a mine, a railroad or Why should we make this distinction between the man that owns land and the man who owns something else? DAVID W. KASSENS. ‘Wendell, Idaho. ANSWERS MR. CARLSON Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I see “in your last issue a letter from a cer- tain Mr. Carlson on the Nolan bill. It sure makes me smile. I can see a man paying $200 per acre up here and pay- ing for it from the crops he raises (nit). He seems to_think he is paying a pretty good tax already of $1 per acre, or-about one-half of 1 per cent. But if he were in this neck of the waods w1th a valuation of that amount he Labor Rallies to Aid of the Farmers 4 ~ (Continued from page 5) while - South Dakota, ‘free from the bolshevist infection,’ can have all the money she wants and is urged to bor- _TOwW more. “North Dakota says to the four million union men in the American Federation of Labor: ‘Would you lend me six millions, a dollar and a half from each of you, to carry on my ex- periment in your interest’? “She won’t get the money. Little | men do not stick together.” would be paying $2,400 instead of $240. I have an 80 worth about $2,000, witl some $600 improvements and personal property, and my taxes are $99.97. If taxes are to be paid by the ones most able to pay them where has Mr. Carlson a kick? If he can assume part of the burden of supporting the government on land that is worth four times as much as ours and still have less taxes than his more unfortunate brothers of the cheap cutover lands of the North, should he, under the plea of equity, protest:‘7 Webster, Wis. H. J. CULVER. INCREASE EXEMPTION Editor Nonpartlsan Leader: You ask for farmers’ opinion on the Nolan bill. It strikes us that $10,000 ex- emption is a little bit too low to fairly meet the farmer approval. ‘How any reasonable person can object to the. ‘principle involved I can not conceive. This tax is honest and stays where it is put and tax dodgers can not evade it by moving. It supports morals. False testaments to assessors avail nothing. We only wish that; more of our reve- nue were x.ollected by this principle. D. W. HOOVER. Rocklake, N. D. - — 4 UNITED WE'LL WIN "Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I am aware of the battle raging in North Dakota whereby big interests are try- ing to crush the great reform program. of the organized farmers. But we must and we shall win if we push all together. A. C. CARLSON. Langford, S. D. - But this' was written before the labor conference at Washington had taken. action requested by the North Dakota officials. The New Republic, New York, and _other liberal papers and magazines are also telling the people the facts —that the North Dakota trouble is entirely due to the determination of financial interests to boycott the state because they can not dictate its in- ternal affairs as they used to do before the League was organized. .Getting the Truth About the League (Continued frorri page 7) They have helped ‘their husbands and their brothers fight nature in wind and * snow, they have all suffered and they believe their suffering has been great- ly aggravated by “big business,” who, they think, is trying to contmue rob- bing them 'and their children. . No man with red blood in his veins, who ever' met such women can calmly listen to the charge that they are “Bolsheviks” and, “free lovers.” The men, too, are uncompromising. Defeat would not daunt them in the least.. William Lemke, the attorney general, and who, together with Gov- ernor Frazier, is their recognized leader, says that if he were recalled and displaced from office it would only widen his field of labor in what he calls their great cause. On our way home" we met the 80 League members of the Minnesota legislature ~and the seven labor members. They each and all ex- pressed themselves in: the same un- compromising manner as did the men and women in North Dakota. “The opposmon seem just as deter- mined, as uncompromising. * political” Alamo.
