MURRAY ON INTEREST LAWS.
CONTINUED from page a.

IIOuh PuSC ~
price Of goods the prices are placed
SO high that people are driven to the
catalog houses. Thus high rate of
interest is natural and inevitable
help to the catalog houses.
Some Comparisons.
If farmer stocks his farm for
farming with horses, harness, ma
chinery, cattle, ETC., say to amount OF
$1,000, it is well known fact what
rate of interest he would have to pay
in North Dakota. Now see q compar-
ison of the interest that the various
persons or class of persons, would pay
for the use of the $1,000 as referred
to in this article, viz:
Bank for school money, $40.
Railroad company on bonds, $3.50.
Spectators, school lands, $50.
Trusts, $5O.5O.
City on sewers, not over $40.
Farmers in N. D., Operating Exp,
$12O.
Merchants in N. D., $12O.
Mechanics in N. D., $3.50.
These figures speak for themselves
and hence need no comment.
The Fault.
It is not the fault of the bankers or
railroads or cities, that farmers pay
high rates of interest while they get
low rates. These institutions work
to their own interest. They take ad-
vantage Of their rights of redress and
implore the legislature to pass such
laws as will enable them to earn mon
ey and prevent failure. When they
elect one of their number to office he
keeps their interests in mind. Exam
pie:
Our banker-governor, Mr.. Hanna,
used a uniform wording in vetoing
laws passed by the last Legislature,
viz: "This proposed act is vetoed for
the reason that the revenues of the
state have been largely exceeded by
the appropriations" Yet when H. +.
No. PA to "Assess Bank Stock" and
thus produce more revenue, Mr.. H.
remembered whose interest was in
volved and promptly gave this meas
ure his veto. Farmers as voters are
largely in the majority in this state,
hence if they should demand that the
rate of interest be reduced the legis-
lators would "run their legs off" to
comply with the wishes of the farm
erS.
The Remedy.
Every voter should organize him
self into a committee of one to talk
the matter over at all public gather
ings, introduce resolutions. at all far
mers' meetings, and urge every per-
son, no matter of what political faith,
who runs for the legislature, to pledge
himself to vote for law making the
contract rate per cent. Do for your
self that which other benefciaries
have done for themselves, and remem-
Der that eternal vigilance" is the
price Of economy.
Yours for equal rights to all and
special privileges to none.

DISCIPLES OF CHRIST
Change CONSTITUTION

Toronto, Ont, Oct. 3.-After heat
ed debate which developed over pro
posed change in the constitution, pro-
viding for a delegates convention of
the church which was opposed as tend
ing toward ecclesiasticism, the annual
assembly of the Disciples of Christ late
last night adopted a resolution dis
claiming a desire to make the change
binding upon the constituent churches.
w. C. Cantrell, of Nebraska, said
that the proposed change had create j
discomfort in the church, and the Rev.
w. H. Book, of Columbus, Ind, moved
that the question be deferred 2 years.
The Rev. Book later withdrew his or
iginal motion for two years and made
it for one year, but this was defeated
and the changes in the constitution
were adopted by clear majority.
