In spite of the fact that the non
partisan league leaders have always
blamed Wall Street. and the Chi

mers of North Dakota are asking
president Wilson to put an embargo
on Canadian wheat Governor Fra
ser. congressman Baer and Laid
William Lempke. A. c. Townley and
other high lights in the N. P. L.
about two weeks ago advised the
North Dakota farmer to hold his
wheat for s2.65 Since that time
the Canadian wheat has knocked the
bottom out of the American market
to the extent of 70 cents per bushel
and now the farmers friends are all
In the same band wagon asking for
an embargo on Canadian wheat. At
the same time Orofino citizens were
listening to an illustrations socialist
charging big Biz" with the blame
simultaneously all over the wheat
growing sections OF the country the
farmers are asking for protection or
protective tariff Seems as though
the Canadian wheat also knocked
the bottom out of that platform the
league orators have been standing
on.

mother apology.
Mr.. Farmer. The North Dakota
single tax. the method Of taxation
preached in Orofino by Walter Tho
ma. Mills and others has existed in
that state just about two wears.
Here is the result: In 1915 before
the league affected taxes the far
-aers of North Dakota paid but "a SO
.er cent Of all state and county
.axes. In 1919 tfirst year Of league
contrc! the farmers paid 1896
Der cent OF all state and county
taxes This is the result of re-
classification Of valuations made in
North Dakota by socialist tax ex-
pert imported from the state OF
Washington. In 1918 the farm I'M
provements were taxed and in 1919
they were exempt
You may think that the exemption
of your farm Improvements works to
YOUR advantage. but it does not. The
small farmer has his taxable value
in his land and not in his improve
ments. while the city man has his
taxable value in his improvements
and the big farmer. (and this is true
in the case of many has improve
ments equal If not greater than the
value of his land. Now il you ex-
empt the Improvements from taxa
ton you must fall back on the land
to get the taxes This is the sys-
tenn in North Dakota today and il
throws the burden of taxation on
the small farmer who is trying tC
get a start. And that il the reason
the farmers in North Dakota paid
1896 per cent of all taxes in 1918
as compared to 54.S9 per cent In
1918. If you want this in Idaho

Capital must protect itself in

When through process OF law,
the common people have lost their

The quotation was dug up and

by him personally. 1t was not pub

We secured a dozen or SO copies of
