G. o. Thompson of Bantry Writes
His Views to, Farmers
Dispatch at st. Paul 4
SEES FINANCIAL CALAMITY
Points Out That State-Owned
Utilities Must Be Operated
on Borrowed Capital

Parts of the Nonpartisan league
program, as enacted by the re-..
cent North Dakota legislature are
described as frenzied finance, the
new hail insurance law is con-
demned as unjust, the real estate
bonding proposition is held more
expensive than loans obtained
through the Federal government
and in the financial failure of the
- state-oWned industries is forecast
in a letter which G. o. Thompson.
Iantry, n. d., has written to the. I.
Farmers Dispatch.
In his letter, Mr. Thompson
urges North Dakota farmers to
study the program thoroughly,
and If they think any of the laws
too much of a gamble, to support
the proposition Of submitting the
whole program to a vote Of the
people by signing the referendum
petitions now being circulated.
BY G. c. Thompson, santry, N. D.
< At the time the Farmers Nonpar-
tisan league was being organized. the
men who paid the bill were told that
the first object was to get farmers
representatives to Bismarck so we
could get what we wanted and so
often had demanded.
Now that the last session of the
legislature has adjourned, it looks
as If the legislators believed in get.
ting plenty while the getting was
god Candidly, l don't think we
North Dakota farmers have given all
these weighty questions the careful
consideration they deserve. More
over, l am convinced that when we
come to the final Notwithstanding
the ~bill-we will find that many of
the measures are not what we want
after all.
In the November election, the farm
ers said" through the ballot box that
they wanted compulsory hail in
surance law. They did not get it
The law passed is based on voluntary
action.
Why Were instructions Violated?
Why did the legislature fail to pass
a compulsory law, when the farmers
will was to obvious? AS for myself
I am unable to find an answer.
suspect, however. that somebody
must have been able to figure out
that the farmers did not really want
such a law; probably they reasoned
that they just thonght they wanted
it. If my guess in this regard is cor
rect, why did not the same person
figure out while he was about it, thai
voluntary insurance would be ever
worse?>s s
Here is the way look at the con,

Mt 80 that's

other large concerns that have unlim-
tied capital of their own.
A good many farmers fail to appre-
ciate the difference between working
with ones own and with borrowed
money. Let me illustrate my point:
suppose two men, Bob and Bill, want
farm and equipment worth 100000.
Bob has $4,000 in cash with which
he pays for his share. Bill has to bor-
row his $4,000 at percent interest.
Their farming operations return
them an average profit of Z percent.
Most of us would be satisfied II we
made that much on capital invested.
Bob gets $500 a year and he puts that
out at interest, SO that it draws 6
percent. Bill must pay all Of Ills
$500 on his loan. Twenty years from
now Bob will not be worth red
cent Neither will he have been
able to pay a cent on the principal.
Thinks Farmers 'Duped.
I believe that our friends (o) are
pulling the wool over our eyes good
deal with some of the figures that
they hand us. Right here | would like
to introduce as Exhibit A. extracts
from The Mouse River Farmers
Press. Towncr, N. d., which in its
June 81. 1918 issue contained an arti:
Gle headed:
Farmer Can Increase Income
Three-fom by Market Control
The article carries out the general
thought contained III the reading and
it is claimed, is based upon govern
ment figures. Quoting from the clip
ping:
IN 1910, G,G31 500 farmers and taeir
help, an industrial army Of more
than 10.00O,000 workers, employing
SAC, ,991,449. 900 of capital, produced an
output that kept~the nation alive and
in comfort for a-ycar but was incl
<dentally priced by the other fellow
at. $5,4S7 600, 900 as it came from the
hands of the farmers. At the same
time, the manufacturers. employing
7,G7S,57S men and $1S,42S,270, 900,
worth of capital produced an output
that did not perform nearly so vital
function, but incidentally sold for
$20.672, ,052, 900.
"The average investment per farm
in United States is $6,444. The aver
age value per farm for farm products
is $500. Without making any deduc-
tions for raw material, this $S63
worth Of products represents less
than IA percent OH the value OF the
Investment. # the farmer had re-
ceived the same relative price for his
products that the manufacturer re-
ceives, the product Of the average
farm, instead Of being worth $S6%
would be worth $2,642 This is three
times as much as he is getting now.
| The farmer must organize to estab-
lish public control of the market"
I Far be it from me to even insinuate
that the government figures are not
accurate. They are true. believe. But
| the absence Of data which shows the
manufacturers expense for labor and
other items makes such statement
as this one absolutely worthless. Fur
| thermorc, even if the statement was
sound in principle. it would not work
out in practice as lovely as it does on
paper.
! Tho article was printed In q league
paper just before the primary cleo
ton. l take it that its mission was to
enable the farmer to figure out exact
ly how much he had been short
changed and to put him In o mood
where he would look fondly. forward
Ito the day- when tho farmers own
