HUNTER SHOOTS INiO
SWENSON LAKE SCHOOL

A full charge from a shotgun
shattered two windows in the Swenson
Lake school house Monday afternoon,
some of the shot flying into the school
room, which was filled with child
rem, and some lodging in the side
Of the building.
Apparently some partridge hunter
took shot at a bird in line with the
school building and discovered his
mistake after he had fired the shot.
Rather than to face the music, he
took to the woods, as no one could
be located on the premises.
Hunting near Swenson school has
been forbidden and anyone caught
shooting near the school will be pro-
secuted.

State System Is Needed to
Assure Farmers Adequate
Loans, Says Author
INVESTORS TAKE TAX
EXEMPT SECURITIES
Voter. Are Told to Remember
Amendment No. Il is First
on the Pink Ballot

A state farm loan system Sucn as
adoption of Amendment No. 1 will
authorize, is needed if Minnesota
farmers are not to be seriously handi-
capped because of the growing peril
of tax-exempt securities, according to
Theodore Christianson of Dawson,
Mimi, father of the law under which
the amendment is submitted Nov. Z.
"The practice of issuing tax-exempt
securities and their popularity among
large investors" says Mr.. Christian
son. sis going to make it impossible,
eventually, for farmers to get loans
upon real estate, unless they can get
them through the issuance of govern
mental securities. Life insurance
companies, whose surplus in the past
have been largely invested in farm
mortgages, now are beginning to invest
in these tax free bonds, insead Of in
farm mortgages i, l.. u. = = +: h., !.
'sIt, therefore, is; increasingly i'm
portant that we set up a system OF
rural credits, administered by, the
state to finance farmers even in the
Inadequate way in. which they have
been financed heretofore. The in
creased rates on farm mortgages re-
fleet this preference for tax-exenpt
securities. : + s, .t.;l. ,i;.. e. :. ma.
s'It is true that the tax-exempt
features should be elimited, but until
that is done and there is: no telling
when that step Will be taken-the
farmer is going to be seriously handi-
capped, unless the state is permitted
to set up machinery for which Amend
ment No. / paves the way. With this
machinery : in operation, farmers
needing loans will be in position to
cope with the tax-exempt security
peril.
The Farmers Special committee, of
which J. F.. Reed, president Of the
Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation
is chairman, is urging voters to re-
member these points in voting on
Amendment No. Rural Credits-on
election day, Nov. T. 80:
1. That it is first on the pink ballot
and that the Amendment ballot is
separate from the one on which, ap7
pears the names Of state and county
candidates. ...q =,
2. That a majority of voters vot-
ing must "VOTE YES" if it is to be
adopted. :. .
8. That it has the Endorsement of
all parties and, therefore, is purely a
non-political issue.
4. That blank ballots count against
the proposal as effectively as do those
marked, "NO." ,,...< r. :.
5. That creation of state rural
credits system will not cost taxpayers
a dollar.
6. That adoption Of the amend
ment, in itself, does not create any
particular system; it merely paves the
way for legislative action by remov-
ing present constitutional restrictions
on any legislation of this nature. =,
7. That it will give Minnesota an
opportunity to study system now in
operation and avoid Objectionable
features that may be found in exist
ing plans. -.
