! DELINQUENT ] /; LII. /: TAX
SALE CONCLUDED
With Bonus on Government Ditch
Lands Amounting to $4,000,
Auditor Ended Sale at Noon.
WAS IN SESSION SINCE MONDAY
Has Been One of the Most Successful
Ever Held Here Nearly Every
Tract of Vacant Land Taken.

One of the most successful delin-
quent tax land sales ever conducted
in this county was brought to a close
by County Auditor James L. George
shortly after noon today. Until yes
terday it was believed that the tax
list would not be fully reviewed be-
fore Tuesday of next week, but the
last part of the work was readily
disposed Of which made it possible
to conclude the sale today.
49,, According to figures in the office
OF the county auditor, the bonus, or
excess, from the sale on delin-
quent tax ditch lien government
lands, will total about $25,0oo. r.:
All Disposed Of. :. .
Nearly every tract of vacant gov
ernment land in Beltrami county
was purchased at the sale, and it
is probable that when the auditor
has figured the entire amount Of DEL
inquent taxes sold for the year 1912
the Judgment record will be more
nearly cleaned up than ever before
in the history Of the county.
Demand for Tax Title.
There is greater demand from tax
title investors for Beltrami county
certificates than even before, and
even local investors are purchasing
where hitherto they have been rather
slow about handling them. g.
The number of actual settlers who
desire to find vacant government
land for homesteading purposes and
are willing to pay a bonus for it
amounting to the full ditch lien,
against said land, goes to prove that
the. system Of bitches now in pro-
cess Of construction will lead to a
very rapid settlement of the north
ern part of Beltrami county, and the
lands when drained will be among
the most valuable for agricultural
purposes.

FARM LOAN BILL TO
CREATE STIMULUS
b. An Adaptation to American Condi-
lions of the Principal Credit Sys-
TENS Successful In England.
MEANS SCIENTIFIC FARMING
representative Bulkley, Author Of
Measure, Says Competition Among
Laboring Men Will End.
BY Congressman G.. H. Tavenner.

BY Congressman G. H. Tavenner.
Washington, May 15.-American
'Arming should receive the greatest
stimulus ever injected into it when
Con gress passes the farm loan bank
Dill. The bill is an adoption to
American conditions of the principal
rural credit systems which have
revolutionized European farming
Before the adoption Of systems which
gave easy credit to agriculture, the
European peasants were worse than
beggars, for they were in grip of
- plttiless system of usury which kept
rhe victims grinding out their lives
for the benefit of the usurers.
Rural credit changed that condi-
tion. AS soon as the peasant farm
ITS pooled their honesty for credit
they shook off the usurers, and with
cheap capital began a wonderful de-
velopment Of their farms Coop
GRAFTON in borrowing led to co-op-
9ration in other things, 80 that in
most European countries the farm
7rs now buy through mutual compa-
nies and sell tArOugh mutual COM
t,anies, and they have waxed pros
Derous.
In less degree, a similar develop
Iaent can be expected in this coun-
'hetter off than were the European
peasants a. half century ago. But
In many sections farm development
is crippled because of high interest
rates, and in these sections particul-
Arly the effect of the bill will be seen
first
But the measure is not only CT
ornefit and interest to fa4ners. It's
s'"condary effect should be = wouder-
tUi benefit TO workin gmen in the
towns and cities. Representative
=. j. Bulkley of Ohio, the author
" the bill, explained it to me as fol-
lows:
THE rural credit legislation will
act on the country as if an enormous
DeW area of free farm lands were
4dded to this country" he said.
Prosperity in the past in this cOun-
Try has been largely due to the fact
that we have had plenty of free land
'nr homesteaders. That kept down
IHe price of land everywhere The
result was that not only could men
let free farm in the west, but in the
east land stayed cheap, making It
>s+Sy for men 10 acquire farms
But that condition is at an end
There is no more free land. The re-
suit is an increasing pressure on the
land by the city dwellers Farm
values are mounting. 1t is harder
rNd harder for men to go on to
Farms Of their own, and with this
leg increases.
'The rural credit bill should act
upon this condition just as an ad-
clifton of free land might do. 1t
will enable the farm laborer and ten
%nt to get money on easy terms for
Inc purchase of farms. City work.
rrs will also be enabled to buy farms
without undergoing the burden of a
mortgage which swallows the farm
'ncome. Moreover. cheap capital
should encourage the adoption of mo-
dern scientific farming methods and
lead to preater productivity from
the land now under cultivation.
'This means more men on the
farms, increased farm production and
lower cost of living Moreover, by
making it easier for men to own
farms the number of laboring men
