HAVE TOLD.
Tho Governor should have hnu.
II he didn't, that the constttut1uj
amendments whose adoption he u "a.
vocadng provide for unlimited issD-
lng and guaranteeing Of certain bonds
although the amendments were ad.
verhsed as providing for ~shictlx
limited Indebtedness"
He should have told tho people thak
with this constitutional smendmenf
adopted, It would be possible for
owners Of insolvent business corpora-
tons to sell them to the state at
par and eeceive state bonds in pay.
ment which would be good as gold
because both interest and principal
would eventually b paid BY taxes %
the people.
And he should have told tho peo-
pie that designing politicians might
arrange to have the state guarantees
bonds for private corporations, both
tangible and intangible such as the
League Exchange, Kimbau-H Hastings
1nvestment Co, and Federal Devel-
opment Co.
The Governor should have known, II
he didn't. that the amendment provid-
i ing for exemption of personal prop
erty and permanent improvements
from taxation, was i'll fact an at
tempt to have North Dakota voters
adopt Single tax without knowing it
liz system Of taxation that has been
lopposed by farmers everywhere in the
world and was showed under in Mis-.
souri, by vote Of 5oS,137 to 86.647.
