FARMER WRITES NEWSPAPER \. ?.
LEAGUE LOSING N NORTH DAKOTA

than before the league got in
power.
Il think it is a fine thing for the
farmer to organize. But if you
are going to organize don't, for
the sake of your children, follow
the teachings of the present lead
ers of the Non.partisan league.
The farmers of North Dakota
have been struck with the cement
trust, they have been struck with
the lumber trust, they have been
struck by the oil trust, they have
been struck by the black rust, but
none of them struck us so hard
and with such lasting effect as
the leaders of the Nonpartisan
league struck us.
1T isn't necessary for you to
take hearsay or take anyone's
word--just appoint a committee
and send them to the capital city,
Bismarck, with instructions to 90
to the capitol building and find
out what the league did for the
farmers of the state. Have your
committee investigate the Valley
City, N. D. bank deal. Have them
investigate the expense our state
is under on account of the state
bank. Our school districts, town
ships and villages have to send all
money to the state bank. Our To-
cal bank used to pay us four per
cent on our daily balance---noW we
get two per cent from the state
bank. Beware gentlemen Ask
those fellows who come to you to
tell you what they want, who they
are, and whence they come from,
and if they pay any tax. Inves-
tieate. :

A North Dakota farmer who
has seen Townleyism at close
range isn't very keen for the game
he writes to a Minnesota editor.
l.. ]. Laughlin, a farmer resid-
ing six miles from Napoleon, in a
letter penned to the editor of the
Swift County Monitor, in Swift
County, Minnesota. sets forth the
view of a North Dakota farmer
who has had a taste of Townley-
ism that isn't particularly invit-
ing, and he warns Minnesota to
make haste slowly" in falling for
the Townley schmes.
In looking over one of your
papers / saw an item pertaining
to an address made in your court
house toabout $50 farmers, writes
MIR. Lauehlin.
Il was surprised at the few who
turned out to hear this famous
man talk. When we had those
meetings in North Dakota three
or four years ago he would have
an audience of 1000 or more, but
rember, my friends in Swift coun-
ty, the farmers of North Dakota
have got their eyes opened.
Mr.. Townley used to talk to us
just as he talks to you people now.
He would tell us what he would
give us until he got us in his
clutches. Now, gentlemen, Swift
county and the state of Minnesota
have too many nice homes to be
loaded down with heavy taxes
like the farmers OF North Dakota
have to bear. The year 1918 my
taxes were $93.97. This year,
1890, my taxes are $2O9.4l. My
state tax is 35H ,yer' cent siaieie,,
