THE Farm Bureau also will be
prepared to present to the State Tax
Commission data showing the true
value Of the farm lands in the sew
eral counties Of the state. +.
There is considerable question as
to exactly what constitutes "true'
value. 1t might be the sale value OF
the rental value or the net earnings
value. If public service corporations
can pay taxes ON one set of vaht-
stions and fix their rates on another
valuation, then it appears no more
than right that farmers should pay
taxes on the earning value of their
land, equipment and investments,
rather than on the replacement value
of their holdings.
All of these matters will be
tllreshed out as soon as it can be
done. In the meantime, the officers
and members of every member coun-
ty Farm Bureau in the state are in
vited to call on the State Federation
for any help that the Federation can
render and they are invited to submit
any data they may have that bears OH

Governor Hyde in a passionate ap-

this line on short notice is proble-

reau Federation is going to do every
thing possible to correct the existing
evils at the earliest possible moment.
"Onc of the first things that the
new Executive Committee of the State
Federation ordered done was that a
thorough investigation be made and
that all possible data be collected.
Employees and representatives of the
M. F.. B. F. have started this work
and will continue it until the officials
are in possession of all the necessary
information.
!, Then, the facts will be laid before
the State Board of Equalization,
County Boards, and the general pub
lie.
"The situation is exceedingly bad
now. Until more complete study of
the figures and facts can be made it
will be hard to tell just how bad it
is. We all know, though, that under

Precedent In Decision

business, where the business conflicts

The commission has decided in a

COULTER TALKS
ON FARM CREDIT
A. c. President Addresses
Statewide Livestock Meet
at Cooperstown.

Cooperstown, N. D., June 24.-The
farmers of North Dakota who are to-
day facing a transition from a one
crop to a several crop system are in
need OF a special type of credit in
volving loans fora period of five
years with provisions for partial pay
ments on principal, John Lee Coulter,
president of. the North Dakota Agri-
cultural college, told the statewide
livestock meeting here today.
Zone crop farming calls for one
year thinking, and one-year thinking
results in one-year financing" said
DR.. Coulter. "A mixed cropping sys-
tenn calls for at least f1ve-year think
ing and f%ve-year financing. Farmers
of Wisconsin and Minnesota have
made the transitions from the one-
crop system to- the mixed crop sys-
tenn, and therefore have no special
problem Of finance facing them at
this time. North Dakota farmers are
just beginning this transition, and q
special type of credit is necessary to
make this change as rapidly and ef-
,ciently as, possible.
Medium Length Loans Needed.
If a farmer is going to begin d.
versifying, he does not merely need
enough money to buy q carload Of
hogs or cattle. He must build. feSces,
raise corn and other feed crops, buy
machinery for handling these crops,
possibly erect q silo and build a barn.
These activities can not be financed
with the returns of a crop planted,
harvested and marketed in a.period
of half z year. With a mixed farming
system, however, the increase from
The stock, milk, eggs, butter, wool,
and other products will pay the inter-
est for the first year or so and then
payments can be started on the primo
ipal and the whole debt cleaned up
at the end of the five-year period with
just ordinary luck.
lat present we have the long time
mortgage Of 20 years or more dura-
ton and the short time financing of
a year or less to handle the crop, but
there is nj intermediate form of cred
it to meet the need of the times. A
bill to accomplish this very purpose
has just been introduced in the house
by the joint agricultural commission
at Washington by Chairman Sydney
Anderson, representative from Min
nesota.. This act provides for the
making of-five year loans, the princt-
pal to be repaid in partial payments
The loans will be handled BY existing
commercial banks, to give the neces-
sary local attention, but the paper
will be discounted through the fed
eral farm land banks. The interest
rate would be set n the local banks
would be allowed a margin OF one per
cent on which to operate North Da4
kota, I believe, will benefit more than
