TAX INCREASE is ONLY
THREE CENTS AN ACRE

Opponents Of the Non-
partisan League are trying to
brighten the farmers by predict
, ing stiff increases in taxes. For
some reason most Of these
, calamity howIers pay very little
taxes themselves, while some Of
the farmer members of the
legislature we're among the
largest resident taxpayers in
; the state. 1t is reasonable to
, suppose that a Legislature COM
, posed Of farmers would tax
, themselves to the point Of con- -.
, fiscation?
As a matter Of fact, the taxes
, collected for state purposes this o
, year will be only three cents an
acre more than they were a
year ago. In 1918 the farmers
Of this state paid two and one
half cents an acre In state
taxes. This year the state tax
paid by farmers will be five and
one-haIf cents an acre. This is
the full extent Of the increase
) in state taxation about which
the l. ". A.. organs are making ,
SO much fuss.
There is hardly a farmer in
the state who will not be able
, to pay his total state taxes
increase and About of the
) saving he will make from a
single bushel of wheat when the
new legislation is working. The
terminal elevator alone should
bring more than three cents a
, bushel additional to the average
, farmer for his wheat and if he
insures against hail he will
; probably save from rs to so
) cents an acre as a result Of
state insurance.
The farmers are not COM
; planning about the trifIing in
, crease in taxes. The farmer is
} satisfied because he Is getting
; value received. 1t is the grain
gamblers, loan sharks and in
surance men who are doing all
the "hoIIering." And their real
reason for 'hollering" is because
} they know their excessive
profits are going to be cut off at

Shrewd business men are beginning
to see that if North Dakota can en-
courage it's own industries and keep
it's money at home, there will be better
business in every town and store in
the state. The bankers are willing to
try the new Bank Of North Dakota ;
the millers are seeing a new future
with railroad rates on q par with Min
nesota's ; the lumbermen and hardware
men are seeing big things in the states
home building plan; and the merchant
knows that IL the farmer gets more
for his products he will buy more and
better goods at the store.

Denies Charges of Criminal In

and Says Country Is Only
Cleaning House.
10y MORNING JOURNAL spreALLsAsso w,stl


Springfield, H.. April 15,-The po-
sition of Japan with Korea and For
mosa was explained in an address
here today by Baron Shimpei Goto.
former japanese minister of foreign
affairs. The baron defended the at
titude of his country against the
charge of misrule IN Korea and For
mosa. He declared that Japan was
suspected of aggressiveness and of
harboring territorial ambition, which
suspicion was not warranted.
What we did IN Tormosa and
Korea does not differ from what the
United States did in Porto Rico and
the Philippines" the baron said. I'm
fact the archives in the state depart
ment at Washington show that every
political stem taken by Japan was
made with the full cognizance of the
United States government.
AT this time Japan is being charg-
ed with criminal intention and crimi-
nal deeds in Asia. Japan's position
is that of any well-meaning house
holder deeply interested in keeping
quiet, clean immediate surroundings
and who is unfortunately disturbed by
family brawls and incompetent sani-
tation of disorderly neighbors.'
The baron was the principal speak
er at luncheon which also was adj
dressed by John Burke, United States
treasurer.
Mr.. Burke spoke in behalf of the
Victory Loan.
