Voice from MOuntrail County.
Walter J. Maddox, one of the young
members OF the house, from Mountrail
county, stated that the bill would make
ridiculous, but believed the legislature
should give him authority to carry out

How much would you have to pay
toward the expense of those three APP

wouldn't need to pay more than cents
and you would pay your share of the
cost of law enforcement for the state.

farmers. The pooled mortgages of the
farmers Of the United States will be
security for every bond. The high
character Of this security means that
people who have money to invest will
Jump at the chance to put their saw
ings up against your security at a low
rate Of interest. We will let you have
this money at actual cost to us, plus
not to exceed i per cent to cover the
cost of operating this money assem-
bling and money-lending machinery"
Then Uncle Sam turns to the in
weston and says:
1--WE have enabled the farmers of the
United States to give us their massed
mortgages. We are offering you bonds
which are in reality first mortgages
against the farms of all who join this
pool. 1t is the best security in the
world, because every dollar. q farmer
borrows is represented by 50 worth
of land plus the stock each farmer
has purchased in his local associa-
ton. To make these bonds even more
attractive, so as to eventually give
the farmer a lower interest rate, we
have exempted them from all forms
Of taxation. Even Uncle Sam will not
collect any tax from them, nor from
the income upon them. No state or
may tax them. We have
made these bonds in small denomina-
tions from $25 upward so their pur-
chase will be easy among people with
small savings, and we will have the
bonds printed and engraved by the
government bureau of engraving and
to protect them against
and the United States
secret service will watch over them"
So the farm loan act, in addition to
money for land purchase
and farm DEVELOPMENT. provides a new
form Of security which ought to be-
come one Of the most popular in ex-
istence, because it Is based on the
land values Of the entire country.
Editors note-Tomorrow's INSTALL
ment will be devoted to a discussion
Of how the farm loan act may help to
reduce farm tenantry and will be of
particular interest to the landless.

BREWERS PRESENT THEIR
Case 1T WASHINGTON

Washington. May 7.-Headed by
Gustave Pabst, a delegation repre-
senting the brewers OF the United
states was heard today by the senate
agriculture committee on Senator
Gronna's bill to forbid the manufac-
ture OF grain into alcoholic liquors dur
ing the war.
The delegation told the committee
that the brewing interests were ready
to cooperate with the government in
any way and did not ask consideration
from any standpoint other than that Of
fair dealing and public policy.
The actual amount of grain used in
brewing. principally barley, they told
the committee. represents less thar
three quarters OF one per cent of all
the grain produced in the United
States.

ordinate the powerful re-
sources which the United
States brings into the war,
with those allies across the

would receive and decide
upon the apportionment of

mission would then charge
itself to bring such supplies
to the seaboard, either by di-
rect purchase or through

While the iuroads of the submarine

this can be done IS to have the allies
