FARMERS AGAINST REFERENDUM
BILL NO.

BILL NO. /
The Farm Bureau through the local
organization in the different town
ships held mass meetings during the
past week and voted on the Nolan Bill
which has been under consideration
In Congress. The results of the vote
as sent to the State Federation shows
that the reports of 1900 farmers was
unanimous against this proposed legis-
latiOn in its present form. Practically
every township held very spirited
meeting in which the bill was discuss
ed from various angles. Some Of the
objections by farmers as the bill now
stands. are:
1. The maximum exemption Of $1O,-
900 is too low basis for farmers In
the Mississippi Valley Region. Just
where this maximum figure should be
(. set is hard to determine. The idea OF q
rood many farmers indicates that
$40, 900 to $4,000 might be fair.
2. There is no provision in the bill
BY which exemption ID offered to a
farmer who has mortgage on his
farm. Such condition would almost
prohibit the acquiring of land.
5. The bill as now proposed would
have tendency to discourage owner
ship especially In the areas where
land values have increased in the last
twenty years.
1. The farmers are opposed to any
so-called class distinction in the col
lection OF revenue There is no In
dication as to what the average in
yestment OF commercial interests over
the country would be and for this
reason the farmer believes that his
business should be on equal footing
with other business interests and that
al business OF whatever class be sub
1oct to this same taxation.
s. Any legislation at present which
discourages production and increases
the movement of farmers to the city
should be discouraged as 1t would
cause many farms to lie idle or pro-
duction would be reduced to point
where the food supply OF the future
may be at stake.
II this bill had been designed to re-
duce tenantcy or to reach land barons
who control immense areas of timber
or mining land it is no doubt a good
thing. However as the bill now stands
the sentiment of the farmers is such
that the bill will have to be materially
changed before they will accept it.
The results of this vote as taken
In this County, the State and the
United States will be forwarded to
washington to be used as evidence
against the passage Of such bill. The
present issue is only starter of what
Is to be done if the farmers organiza-
tions are to take part in the consid-
Grafton OF legislation that affects
their business. 1t has been a good
many moons since the farmers have
been SO agitated and taking an inter-
est in the promotion Of their own
business as has been brought out La
thu consideration of the bill. Some of
the meetings in different townships
showed an attendance of over one
hundred farmers, thus indicating the
growing interest which is apparent
on the farmers standpoint.
