Tells of Financial Troubles

LANCER told Of the financial diI-
ficulties Of the state and Its people
In the last few months and declared
that taxes had been increased,
doubled and trebled In many In
stances. and that the league had ac-
compllshed very little In carrying
out It's program there.

many of these officials of the league
are active members Of that organiza-
tion and that most of them are what
he calls cred card Socialists
II was asserted by LANCER that the
North Dakota state bank, created by
the league, could not dispose of Its
paper outside Of that state and that
bonds issued by the state to pay 1oi
the state manufacturing enterprises
were not salable in other states.

Under laws made by Townley In
North Dakota, taxes on land have
been increased 800 per cent, LANCER
said. He told Of farmer, who, IL
1918. paid a tax Of 5000 and last
year, he said. he paid 5000.

men and farmers to actively oppose
Townley and the league.
