4 VERY RADICAL MEASURE
For Preventing Usury and Lessening
Rates of Interest
AS BEEN FORMULATED,
And Will Be Urged by the Huron Men,
$50 Der at the Coming Ses-
sion.

, Special to the Globe.
: ,r.HuRoN, Dak., Jan. 4.-That the Da-
,kota legislature will be called upon TO
consider measures pertaining to the in
terest laws is foregone conclusion.
The farmers alliance have already Iorm-
uIated bill on usury, interest, eXemp-
ti0Il, ETC., which they will urge upon
the. attention of the general assembly.
A synopsis of this bill has already been
furnished in the GLOBE.
| EJohn M. Davis of this city, one of the
best lawyers in these parts. has been
preparing a bill having for its object
the iessening of interest, prevention of
usury. etc. Besides embracing many OF
the features of the Alliance bill, has
some points not contained In that Dill,
and which are much more radical In the
changes suggested.
The measure proposed by MI. Davis
fixes tine legal rate of Interest
AT SIX PER CENT
: per annum; judgments recorded before
any court OF magistrate shall draw the
same rate of interest until satisfied, and
creditors shall be allowed to receive the
same rate of interest on moneys after
they become due on promlssory note,
bond or other instrument; also on ac-
counts from day of liquidating and as,
certaining balance; on money received
to the use of another and retained with
out the knowledge of the owner.
IT SHALL. BE UNLAWFUL
for any individual, company OF corpora
ton to receive or contract to receive
greater sum than per cent interestper
annum OH any contract-verbal or writ
ten; where in excess of per cent is
proven the party so contracting to re-
ceive shall forfeit the entire interest.
Parties convicted of receiving greater
rate of interest than noted above shall
be fined in sum not less than sl0O nor
more than $1,000 for each otfense; all
such fines to 90 into the county treasury
to be used for school purposes only.
Mr.. Davis has carefully prepared his
bill, and will see that it is early put
upon the calendar. He believes 1t VIII
meet the approval of the general assem-
bly, and become law. and go into effect
on OF before the 1st of April next.

CHATTEL MORTGAGES.

Defects in the Law That Will Cali
for the Action ofthe Legislature.
Special to the Globe.
HURON, Dak., Jan. 4.-The Dakota
law regulating the advertising of chattel
mortgage sales is weak indeed. 1t pro-
vices for the posting of notices naming
the goods to be sold and date of sale,
party's name, etc.. These notices are
put upon some school house, board at
: the forks of a road, or elsewhere, and
are soon destroyed by the wind OF rain,
ana consequently are seen but by very
few people. When the day of sale ar
rives there are seldom more than half a
dozen bidders present, and the goods,
though often very valuable, go for little
money. The present mode of adver-
tising is unfair to both mortgage and
mortgagor, and the earlier it is aDol-
ished the better it will be for all con-
cerned. AS farmers are as deeply i'll
sterested in the matter of chattel mort
cages as any other class of citizens it
. IS hoped that they. being in the ma
j0rity in the territorial legislature, will
give the subject early attention and
PASS a bill providing for the publiea-
ton of foreclosures on chattels in one or
more newspapers in the county where
the sale is to occur, as in the law gov
erntng the -
- :. ~ SALE OF REAL ESTATE
by foreclosure. An effort will also be
made to have chattel mortgages regis
tered by township clerks instead of by
the register of deeds. The change is
certainly needed one.

SIOUX FALLS, Jan. 4.-The Sioux

4ies as factor in the promotion of the

quarters, with everything to make them

members to more fully demonstrate
their capabilities as ''ruStlers." Among
the things they are now working for,
with good prospects of success, are the
location of the Farmers Alliance COM
pany's headquarters, theneXt territorial
fair-a big card, 10y the way-and several
iobbing and manufacturing enter
prises. Among the latter,it may be noted
that there is an especially good opening
for. practical cracker manufacturer to
locate in Sioux Falls. There is large
and commodious building fitted up es-
pecially for a cracker factory, with new
and improved machinery all ready for
business. and waiting for the right man
to take hold of it. The plant can be
bought cheap. With the jobbing facili-
ties now offered by this city and the

indeed if this valuable institution is not

HILLSBORO, Dak., Jan. 4.-HillSboro
is the metropolis of Traill county, Da-
KOta. and ought to be its county seat, as
it is nearer its geographical center than
any other town in it, and has all the

day secure the prize; but what it wants
most now is manufacturing establish

Fifth-Last, but not least, first-class
bakery will pay big here, and the man
who will establish himself in this busi-
ness will be glad he did so.
OF course, Hillsboro is fairly repre-
Sented in all classes Of business, but it
OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES
for more extensive trade. 1t is only in
its petticoats, and all it wants is little
more push and energy displayed by it's
citizens and the encouraging of others
to come here and assist by investments
and establishing other enterprises to
make it second Grand Forks or Fargo.
Why not? 1t lies midway between
those two cities, forty miles each way,
on the main line of the Manitoba rail-
road. and surrounded by the best agri-
cultural lands in tile Red river valley,
which is directly tributary from great
distances from every point of compass.
Hllsboro now contains 1,200 lnhabi-
tants. Has two national banks, three
newspapers, five grain elevators, roller
flour mills, four churches, excellent
public schools, numerous business
houses, but still we want more. Hills
boro wants to grow up with the country,
become big town and getrich. III fact,
our town offers the best inducements of
any town in North Dakota for those who
have money and desire to locate in buSi-
ness in a live place in good country.

GOOD THINGS TO HAVE.

1t is not easy to overestimate the
work that statehood will do for Dakota.
Even the anticipation is having a
marked effect. 1t may be that the
anomalous mild and beautiful winter
weather is not entirely due to the dawn
ing of the state era, but it is emblematic
of the general brightness and glory of
the coming time. Home rule is largely
a matter of sentiment, but somehow
people feel as if there were something
calling about their necks when their
chief functionarieS are eXoticS sent out
to their gardens at the dictation of out
siders. They may be as fragrant as
floral natives, but they are intruders. A
territory is but the hasty, ill-condi-
toned preliminary structure for uncom-
Portable temporary use. The state is
the solid, rock-ribbed permanent edifice.
1t gives confidence to the occupants and
observers. Capital comes more freely
and cheaply to state. Those looking
for homes prefer to go where they have
all the political rights they have pos
sessed. In fact, there is goodly bun
die of material advantage to come to the
arms of the Dakotas as states.

LET HIM TALK.

Delegate CLIFFORD is reported unusu-
ally active at Washington, looking after
the interests of his constituents and
the Dakota measures. This is COM
mendable in him, but it is regretted
that he does not find time to talk more
about Gen. ALLEN. Some of his bright
est sayings are on that subject, and it
is not believed that he has exhausted
the topic. If ALLEN is to be appointed
governor Sby President HARRISON, it
would be of interest to know whether
CLIFFORD will seek position in his cab
met. Or, should ALsEN insist upon
making him attorney general, would he
accept the position? Is the delegate
still afflicted with the opthalmic defect
that made him unable to recognize a
Canton band at Yankton, and does it
cause him the modification Of not dis
cerning his ornate friend as they tread
the ways and by-ways of the national
capital? AS the coming man, it is not
expected that ALLEN will continue his
expressions about men and things that
he may have to act upon, but there need
be no cOnStraint with CLIFFORD. He
has just begun to make himself inter
eSting. Let him talk. He can now say
things that he cannot so we'll give out
after ALLEN becomes governor.

BETTER TRY HIM.

The Republican papers in the terri
tory are preparing to lay the blame
upon Congressman SPRINGER if the
state-maknlg business does not prosper
at this session of congress as antici-
pated. They affect to believe that he is
trlfiing and deceiying them, and does
not intend straight business. No reason
can be assigned why he should not
be working in good faith. There is no
possible advantage to the Democratic
party or Mr.. SPRINGER in causing delay.
The new states are bound to come in,
and those who get in the way will be
removed. Mr.. SPRINGER is a man of
reasonable sagaclty, or he could not have
held seat at the hands of district full
of ambitious politicians for long Sc
ries of years. He processes to be anx-
ious to press the state measures, and
why not let him show his good or bad
faith before carplng OF criticiSing? He
is in position to do Dakota good, and
it is better to cultivate the good will of
all people at Washington. A good
5owry is wanted, as well as statehood.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

1t is understood that the ladies will
keep open house or headquarters at
Bismarck during the session of the
legislature, to work for the suffrage
cause. This has seemed to be in
rather a somnolent state of late, but
by no means has mortuary condition
attached to it. The time is at hand for
a grand onset in view of the framing of
states, and the work at Bismarck is
probably to get in good working condi-
ton and enlist support for the oppor-
tunity to follow. Forr years ago they
captured the legislature, but were
Pierced to the heart, so to speak, by
the accidental governor. If the coming
legislature shall be equally friendly, it
is not believed that Gov. CHURCH will
stand in the way. If they can get the
territorial legislature it will be long
stride-if the word is admissible in

NEW NAME SOUTH.

The disposition to change the name
appears to be growing more rapidly IN
the South than in the North. The
sentimental notion is less distinct down
there. The names Winona and Lakota
are freely spoken of. The Good Book
speaks of new name being one of the
endowments of a successful candidate
for celestial honors and felicity. 1t is
not quite certain but that the South will
make ajudicous bargain if it turns
over the entire Dakota nomenclature
to the North. and has brand new out
fit for itself. A rose will, it is said,
smell as sweet under any name, and as
viewed abroad the new departure will
have an advantage. People remember
the misShapen, unnatural freaks much
easier than the artistic and beautiful.
Whatever at intervals there may have
been of blizZards, extreme cold OF un-
timely frost, somehow always gets in
front of the vision of the ill-informed
i'll other sections, and is associated
with the name Dakota. No doubt the
decision as to names will be left with
the people Of the embryo states, but it
is we'll to look the matter over,
St. Paul daily globe., 1889-01-05

The chief object set forth for the
scheme for the legislature to adjourn
from January to April is to have Re-
publican governor. There are good
many slips possible in that consumma-
-tion. 1t would involve reflection upon
Gov. CHURCH that might induce him to
be little slow in resigning. In view
of the long and weary siege the Demo
Gratis had III getting Republican out of
the executive chair, it may be doubted
that the Republicans can effect the
work in busy month at Washington. Ii
HARRIsoNis is partisan, he will be found
man of good deal of personal inde-
pendence, and not obliviOus OF the
amenities that obtain among gentlemen
of opposing politics, especially in time
of general good feeling. If Gov. CHURCH
goes out of the usual line of his duties,
he has council at his back mostly com-
posed of Republicans. They can sit
down on and hold him down, if they
want to. But there will, apparently. be
one of the most harmonious sessions
