NATIONAL FARM BUREAU
TO CONDUCT REFERENDUM

To establish the legislative policies
of the American Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton that organization is taking the
most direct means possible to get the
opinion of the farmers by using the
referendum vote.
There are sixteen questions involv-
ing National issues which vitality af-
feet the agricultural industry. Some
Of these issues are before Congress
now in the form Of bill and others
are to come up before the present ses-
sion is over.
Every farmer is interested in an
equitable distribution of taxes and it
is whether the American Farm Bureau
Federation shall advocate the contin-
uance of the excess profits tax or ask
for it's repeal replacing it with a sales
or consumptive tax. The American
Farm Bureau Federation believes that
the measure of ability to pay taxes
for the support of our National Gov
ernment is net income and the bulk
of the taxes should be collected on
that basis also that the tax should
be progressive, that is, the greater
the income the higher the rate.
There are several bills now before
Congress which would provide more
adequate credit for agriculture. Does
the farmer favoror want commodity
financing based on warehouse re.
ceipts and does he favor the develop
ment of personal rural credit sys-
TEN based on proper safeguards?
Warehouse receipts or certificates
issued by bonded warehouse, nego-
table in form, are the foundation of
credit which should be obtained in
order to properly move our crops to
market. The development of per-
sonal rural credits system based on
proper safeguards concerns the
which would amend the Federal Farm
Loan Act to give farmers long time
credits on livestock to be paid in the
same manner that the Federal Farm
Loans are paid.
This is the first time in the history
of American Agriculture that so large
a body of farmers have had voice in
the legislation or administrative poll
ces which concern their industry. The
American Farm Bureau Federation
will present the results of this ques-
tionaire to Congress thru it's legis-
lative bureau which will give Con-
gressmen first hand information what
farmers want when legislation is be-
ing enacted for them.
A series Of meetings is being held
over Ward County explaining the
questions of the referendum. It is
hoped that every farm bureau mem
ber will attend one of these meetings
and enter into the discussion. The
dates Of the meeting will be an
nounced in the Ward County Farm
Bureau News. Farmers not members
Of the farm bureau are also requested
to be at the meetings.

Dinger Bros. and King
WO,nan Arrested

Walter Dinger and his brother and
Minot woman named King were ar
rested within three miles of Minot
last night by F. l.. Watkins and his
men assisted by the sheriff of Rem
Vile county. The Dingers were inter-
cepted by the officers near Carpio and
chased for many miles before the
sheriff's car ran around the Whiskey
Buick and stopped it. The two Ding
ers and the King woman were brot to
Minot and appeared before U. S.
Commissioner F. c. Upton who is
holding them to federal court. The
officers found eight cases of whiskey
and two cases of gin in the car. Walt
Dinger was driving the Buick. His
brother claims he was riding in the
car to Minot to see dentist and the
King woman declares she was coming
here to see doctor. The Buick they
were driving has quite history. This
car was first confiscated by federal
officers when two men transporting
whiskey east were arrested at the
Standard Oil Filling Station in Minot.
The car later was stolen from TIE
store room of the Minot Motor
Sales Co., but claimed by Walt Ding
er, who recovered possession of it
from the government.
