REAL EXPERT ON
STATE BANKS
Shows Success of Aus
traGan Plan.

A great deal Of bunk has been
going the rounds lately about the
failure of North Dakota finances.
Narrowing tales are posted in
bank windows telling how the
Nonpartisan League has reduced
the state to bankruptcy and how
the new bank is ''socialistic'' and
bound to be a failure. These
stories are all hatched in the In.
fertile complex of q reporters
mind, but still they have seme in
fluence with people who do not
, think much. In order, therefore,
to show that the state banking
system is IN old and tried affair
and no experiment, although
We are supposed to be such invet.
crate experimentors, the services
Of G. E. M. Jauncey have been &C.
cured to write series Of three n.
ticles dealing with the government
banking system Of the Australian
government, the first of which fol-
lows. Mr.. Jauncey is Z professor
Of political economy, brought by
the League from Australia for the
purpose Of consultation and advice
upon these matters.

"Some time ago there appeared
in our divisional paper, The Camp
Dodger, an attack on Governor
Frazier, which was uncalled for
and decidedly out Of place in a
military paper. The attack was in
the form of a letter written by an
officer in the division. Many of
the statements in the letter were
unfair to the governing officials
in North Dakota.
League is Upheld.
"Inasmuch as the editor of The
Dodger had invited written opin-
ions on popular questions Of the
day from his readers, 1 wrote a
letter, in which 1 endeavored to
give the real facts concerning Mr..
Frazier and his associates. NV let
ter has never been published, and
there has been some editions of
The Dodger printed since 1 wrote
the letter. This did not surprise
me, however, as once before when
The Dodger had editorially class

Corporation No. l. Valuation
for 1918, $66, ,0OO.; assessed in
1918, $33, 900. This same corpora
tion's valuation in 1919, $312, 900 ;
assessed in 1919, $101, 1872.
The manager Of this corpora
ton admitted that they had less
property in 1919 than they had in
1918, but l will assume that their
property amounted to the same in
1919 as it did in 1918, so if this
corporation had $312,6OO worth
Of property in 1918, they should
have been assessed for $156, 800
in place Of $33, 900. Now, under
the new law on a valuation of
1925 this corporation is as
sessed for $101, ,732, which means
that they are assessed for $l01,-
732, which means that they are
assessed for $50, ,568 less than they
would have been under the old
rules Of 500. This means a saw
ing to them of over $4,000 in tax
es for 1919.

Soon after the advent Of tho Labor
party into the Australian parliaments
in the early eos, the government
loans to farmers were instituted In
the various states. In the state Of
South Australia, what is known as the
state bank, was established in 1895
This is state government land bank
Before the war the funds Of this
bank were raised by issuing mort
gage bonds at interest rates varying
from 81 to 4 per cent. The money 80
obtained is loaned out to farmers at
an interest rate Of from 4 to AZ PEI
cent on good security.
Object Of Loans.
Under the advances to settlers act
of South Australia, the board may
make advances to settlers for grub
bing, clearing, drainage, making per-
manent water improvements, purchas-
ing Of stock, boring for water, erect
ing permanent buildings, or discharg-
ing any mortgage already existing on
the holding. The loans are made on the
security Of lease Of public lands, an
agreement to purchase public lands, or
such other security as the board may
desire.
Advances may be made by INSTALL
ments, further installment being
paid when the previous installment
has been put into such improvements
as required by the board. The total
amount that can be borrowed under
the act must not exceed $4,25O, Of
which not more than $3,25O much be
for effecting further mortgages or to
pay off existing mortgages, and
81 900 for purchase of stock.
100 Per Cent Loans.
The first $4,000 is advanced on 100
per cent Of the fair valuation of the
settlers lease or agreement and any
improvements already made. Any
loan beyond $4,000 may not exceed
rs per cent Of the value Of the i'm

Corporation No. 2: This corpor-
alton was assessed in 1918 for
$4,000, which meant that their
property would have been valued
at $178,S00; in 1919, under the
new law their total valuation
amounts to $213,O93, $34, ,293 more
than in 1918, and their assessment
this year is $5S,641. This is $780,
759 less than 1918, with valua-
ton of $34, ,293 more than 1918.
This is only two, and is small
game comparing to some of the
larger corporations in the state,
but it shows what the new law
was for.
One thing I would like to call
your special attention to is Sec
tion 5665 of the Revised Codes of
Montana, mentioned in the FORE
part of this letter.
How would you like to operate
your farm under a like provisioni
Did you ever read in the Corpora
I tion Press about how the farmers
Of North Dakota passed a lot of
Glass LegislationY Now, I want to
say this, that should the farmers
and laborers of our state elect
every representative and senator
that will be elected in 1920, I do
not believe that they would be
selfish enough as to pass anything
that would contain as much Glass
Legislation as Sec. 1865 of our
present Code.
Glass Legislation.
One thing more would like to
mention before 1 close, and that is
this: At present, the big corpora
ton interests, together with the
old political gangs in Hill County,
are trying with expert help to
split Hill County into three coun-
ties. This is one of the worst
things that can happen for the
common people. It divides the vot-
ers into three groups. Each county
will have little political ring,
and the people will be SO busy
cleaning up their own county that
they will forget to hunt for the
big game which is located in
Lewis and Clark County, Mon
tana. These expert gas mixers 20
out and tell the people that they
can run two or three counties
cheaper than one. There is not one
OF these arguments that they put
up that will hold water or bear
investigation, but still people
seem to fall for it. Brothers and
sisters, don't let anyone, because
he can blow off a lot of gas faster
than you or I can, mislead us. The
same gang that are trying to take
away the primary law is trying to
split Hill County so that you will
be kept out of Helena. Use your
brains for what God has given
you them for, and if you will all
do that, then we will stick and we
will win, and no power in Mon
tana or on earth can prevent us
from getting what we want, a
square deal for all.

The Independent farmer

Of all the bitter irony
Fer talked none can more bitter be
Than this we hear about the free
And Independent Farmer.
Oh yes, he's independent-heap!
OF buying dear and selling cheap.
He helps to swell the dealers gain,
While they set prices on his grain;
He pays what's asked for shoddy duds,
And takes what's offered for his
spuds;
The fresh eggs that his hens have
laid,
The butter that his wife has made,
He takes to town, gets paid in trade
The Independent Farmer.
The verdant hills, the sky SO blue,
The splendors of the sunset, too,
Unnoticed pass the summer through
The Independent Farmer.
He works so hard, this farmer free,
He don't have time the sun to see.
He's out of bed at peep-o-day,
While he does chores his team eats
hay,
At night when work Of team is
through,
The farmer still has chores to do,
He works as long as he can see,
He works his wife and children three
From union rules he's truly free,

years the borrower pays interest only
at the rate Of per cent. From the
sixth year the loan is repayable, with
interest, in SO half-yearly installments,
the amount of the half-yearly in
stallments being about 3.2 per cent Of

These rates are the rates which
were in vogue in South Australia be-

that the bank could lend money for all
sorts OF purposes at an interest rate
OF AZ per cent. Among other things
