The So, OOO, 900 issue of North Dako-
ia State Mill and Elevator. bonds are
being offered especially to farmers
and business men of the Northwest for
the following reasons: /. Because they
cause the proceeds Of their sale wilibe
used to furnish improved and farmer
controlled marketing facilities, now so
badly needed in u grain-growing
states.
These bonds yield 6 per cent in
terest and are tax free in North Da-
kota and exempt from all federal tax
es. Interest payments will be made in
January and July each year.
These bonds have the endorsement
Of the National Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton, as is shown by it's weekly news
bulletin Of April Fl, stating that the
Mill and Elevator bands of the state
Of North Dakota will be sold as the
result of the endorsement and activ-
tiles of u. l.. Burdick, President of the
North Dakota Farm Bureau Fedora
tion.
North Dakota is a very rich and
prosperous state It's property wealth
amounts to not less than three billions
Of dollars the State itself owning
property valued at S80,O0O,OOO. In adj
dition, its fertile soil is underlaid with
vast deposits Of coal and pottery clay
which have an estimated value Of &c.
SOC, 000,0 900 figured at one cent per
ton. It is practically free from debt
and its bond issues, totaling $6,200,-
600 are only a "drop in the bucket"
compared with is great resources.
Farmers and business men Of the
Northwest should welcome the oppor-
tunity to buy these bonds, not only be-
cause the investment is safe and
sound, but because the plant to be
built will be operated in the interest
Of the producers and will %unquestion-
ably improve agricultural and bust
ness conditions in the grain-growing
states.
For full particulars regarding these
bonds write to The Bank of North
Dakota, Bond Department, Bismarck,
North Dakota.

other bank besides the Bank 81 North
Dakota, attempt such procedure It
would be- closed immediately BY the
state bank examiner. But the state
institution, like the holy tabernacle of
old, is sarced in the eyes of the lea
que leaders and their more radical
followers, consequently they approve
every act Of its officials"
There is absolutely no truth in the
foregoing statement. Private banks
have often IN times Of panic or scar
city at money refused payment on
checks and have gone N what was
designated as q clearing house basis"
whereby they have refusted payment
OF currency, o. refused to pay over
10 per cent Of demands Of depositors,
or refused to honor checks except for
deposits, and such action was success
fully carried through until the banks
were restored to q normal condition
by an influx Of money. The panic OF
1907, during which the banks through
out the country shut down on payment
Of checks, is fresh in the memory 81
most people.
In 1907, and at other periods, when
the banks went on a clearing house
basis they paid no interest on funds
withheld from the people, whereas the
Bank Of North Dakota pays 6 per cent
interest on all registered checks, or
postponed payments.
Checks presented and mot paid for
lack Of funds Indicates that the Bank
Of North Dakota has awaited itself OF
its right to refuse payment at the
time the check was presented, the
same as a be done by the state
treasurer, or school and township
t~reasurers. This legal and well estab-
hshed authorization grants to all
t~reasurers the right to register war
rants or orders and withhold payment
of same until the incoming revenues
are enough to meet the demands.
A large number of checks presented
for payment at the Bank of North
Dakota have been refused because Of
insufficient funds" This means that
the drawer of, the check has not suf-
ficient funds standing to his credit at
the Bank of North Dakota to meet the
check and if the check were paid, his
account would be overdrawn.
Make misstatements in their own
conferences. #
When the Grant County bankers
met at Mandan last December to dis
cuss their affairs and agree on a pol
icy to pursue with The Bank Of North
Dakota they were apparently afraid
to talk to each other and tell how
much money they had from The Bank
Of North Dakota, thereby creating the
that the banks had far less
money on redeposit from The Bank Of
Dakota than was under the
control of ~treasurers of that county.
A different tale was told the other
day when a representative Of The
Bank Of North Dakota went into Grant
County and paid off the amount called
for under the punishment proceed
ings, had the punishment proceedings
and then proceeded to col
lect from the banks in Grant county
the several amounts due on redeposits
to The Bank of North Dakota.
The net result of the settlement was
about $500 to $1.00 in favor of The
Bank Of North Dakota.

GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES
BY Senator E. F. Ladd
RAISING. OF TAXES

the system of taxation for federal
support and maintenance, one cannot
be other than interested in an exam
ination Of the principle of taxation
now prevalent in various countries.
Such a study seems to reveal q gen
eral law, namely, that where there is
a true democracy of the people, the
funds for the support of the nation
are raised largely by taxes on incomes
inheritances and wealth in general or
taxes on those best able to bear the
burden On the other hand, where any
privileged classes whether commercial
or landed interests are in power the
indirect tax on consumption prevails,
thus transferring as far as possible
the burden of taxation to those least
able to bear them.
Who controls the taxing policy Of
this country? The w~ell-to-do, the priv
LEGGED few or the producers Of the
real wealth? The farmers can we'll af-
ford to study the proposed plans for
raising federal taxes and help to de-
termine who is to bear the greater
burden. In other words, is the earning
power of the producer in it's broadest
sense to be conscripted to pay for the
war as we'll as for fighting the war
and leave capital to continue to profit
teer through pyramiding credit? A.
ten dollar tax hidden but indirectly
collected on necessities causes less COM
plant than half as much collected as
a direct tax. To which class does the
proposed sales tax belong?
THE DANISH FARMER
The Danish farmer has probably
made greater progress and become in
finitely better educated and better or
ganized during the past thirty years
than the farmer of any country. This
came about through cooperation but
the Danish farmer found it essential
for his success that he should, first Of
all, have a voice in the levying of tax
es, in the administration of the rail-
roads and in the control Of the educa-
ton of the farmer and so the Danish
farmers have become largely the gov
class Of Denmark. The Danish
farmer has likewise become wise to
the fact that success or failure de.
ponds largely upon the system OF
banking and credit devised and wheth-
err conducted in the interest Of the
farmers or Of the middlemen and SO
he has taken over largely the banking
and credit. These have been SO organ
lied as to serve the farmer. Is that
true in this country at the present
Is our banking system 50 or

tent and to meet the demands of the
