81 .sy Bismarck, Jan. 81. Plans for
the new loans, to be issued by the
I farm loan department of the Bank
Z Of North Dakota under the manage
5ment of Wilbert B. Default, have
been approved by the Industrial
j. Com mission g. az Mr.. DeMa u!t's sug-
gestion, the new loans. will be upon
twenty-six year amortization basis,
the mortgages being written to pay
six and half percent interest and
one and q half percent principal the
first year, with the interest remain
ing at the same rate but decreasing
in volume and the principal payment
increasing in volume each year so
that the annual payments are eighty
loaned. ;5 81 %.s@ tSsl
Mr.. Defaults original conception
was a thirty-four year amortization
plan, with beginning principal
payment of one percent. He found
himself estopped, however, by 0De.
Of the peculiar provisions of the
farm loan, law which provide that
NO bonds issued under the law shall
extend more than thirty years from
the time Of the passage of the act.
AS the present farm loan act became
a law, February ~, 1919, all the
bonds issued under its provisions
must be paid off by February Is,
1949 or twenty-seven years from
the end of next month. All the
mortgages, therefore accepted by
Mr.. Default must be upon a basis OF
payments which will be completed
before the termination of the bonds.

losible to make loans all thru

.Ss for which bonds can be Is
7 Ssd. Mr.. Default considers it un-l
tunate that the law prevents the
i isuance of loans upon a one percent
amortization plan as it would have
made the payments~sa easier for the far
mers to meet. I'M ~ SS.g, 5s. :. d

The following table shows the a
mounts paid each year on the amort-
ization table worked out by Mr.. De-
Nault, the hypothetical loan being

Announces His Candidacy for the Of
fee. Some Of His Beliefs. Against
Bonding for Roads.
Proctor, April 15-Redheld Proctor
announced his candidacy for the Re
publican nomination for Governor in
the following announcement made to-
day.
IL desire TO announce my candidacy
for the Republican nomination for
Governor at the primary election next
September, and to state my position on
certain matters.
81 believe that, in recent years, the
national government has takep upon
itself duties which belong TO the
states and the states have taken over
duties which belong TO the towns. In
these ways the work Of government
has become less of the people'-tend-
ing to pass out Of the direct control OF
those who pay for it, and the cost has
increased rapidly and alarmingly.
This increase should be stopped and
expenses reduced, not arbitrarily, how
eyed, but wisely, with due regard to
what is essential for our growth and
prosperity.
81 believe that some state activities
can be consolidated, thereby reducing
expenses without serious loss in effic-
iency, and / favor such reductions OF
state taxes as may be consistent with
efficient government and the needs Of
the people.

The situation which has existed

ed to a verftable persecution Of public
works programs and the engineering

The reactionary element is always

times. II fights the bsilding Of
schools. the installation Of water and
light systems and the development Of
adequate highways. This group was
quick to take advantage Of the mental
condition Of the public. The leaders
went up and down the land preaching
havoc and calamity. Meetings were
held in many counties throughout the
Middle West. Some Of these were
gatherings Of a dignifed nature for
the thoughtful consideration of public
affair. Others were eonclaves of
carefully shepherded malcoutents.
Sets of resolutions were adopted.
These were aimed at the read pro
grams but also included other public
ACTIVITIES. such as the schools and the
