The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1920-10-07

engaged in some other line of work,
and yet desired to become farmer.
Re-head the proposed law-s1oans
ONLY to ACTUAL farmers" before
you swallow the sugar-coated strych-
nine pill the I. V. A. has prepared for
you in the confident relief that "a
sucker is born every minute" and that
YOU are charter member of that
immortal tribe.
Why should you vote to so restrict
these loans ? What injury can possibly
come to the State if the Bank is al
lowed to extend credit to men in 9th
er businesses and trades who wish to
change to farming? What harm can
possibly come to the State into it from
other States and countries? Canada,
New Zealand, Argentina and many
other countries have long helped such
men to build homes under their flags
and have found that the investment
paid an hundredfold. s
Were the mountains of gold and
the valleys Of silver" said Goodwin the
great English economist, "and human
labor were not, the world would not
be a grain Of corn the richer;;" and
never a truer statement was made,
yet so determined is the I. V. A. to
wreck the program of the Nonparti-
san League that it would deny to men
willing to labor the right to use the
earth, the gift of God to "Adam and
his children forever"
Third ssThe Board of Auditors
Under the present law it is the duty
of the State Examiner to audit the
Bank of North Dakota and there has
been no charge that he has not per-
formed the duty efficiently. But the
I. Y. A. is not satisfied. They want q
change. So, in effect they come to you
and say. 1T is true that the State
Examiner is fully competent to ex-
anime the bank in which YOU have
your individual deposis, but he is NOT
competent to examine the Bank where
YOU, the People, have your taxes and
public funds deposited. He is too
friendly to YOU to be able to perform
his duties impartially. Therefore what
you need is q "Board Of auditors to
consist Of secretary Of state (the OBJ
structionist Tom Hall), the state aud
itor (the obstructionist Carl Kosit-
zky) and the attorney general (the OBJ
structionist William Langer)." Had
the I. v. "A. been capable Of dealing
honestly with the voters it would not
have styled this proposed board a
"Board Of Auditors" but a aBoard to
Bushwhack the Peoples Bank and the
Peoples Industries" \ \
That's why hoping to sneak this
law thru, they are pleading so hard
with you to re-elect Tom Hall Secre-
tary Of State, Carl Kositzky State
Auditor and to BY ALL MEANS DE-
FEAT BILL LEMKE FOR ATTOR-
NEY GENERAL. In naked words,
knowing they cannot defeat Governor
Frazier, the i. v. a., is coming to you
and is. asking You to defeat the Gov
ernor's ablest and most faithful lieu
tenants, or, failing this, to put acts
on the statute books Of North Dakota
that would destroy the entire League
program. That is, .sIf they don't get
you a-going, they'll get you a-com-
ing. Here as everywheye else, they
are acting you UP 70 their belief that
