Resolutions
We. the representatives Of the Non
partisan League Of Burlcigh county
in convention assembled, this twenty
seventh day of January. 1926, hereby
re-affrm our allegiance to the plat
dedicate ourselves anew to the task
Of assisting in bringinr about true
industrial progress TO all deserving
classes Of our citizenship, in TINS
leading agricultural state OF our
great nation.
Since the date Of our last convcn-
ton, this state and nation has sui
fercd an irrcparaf9le loss in the death
Of Senator Edwin i. Ladd.
We heartily commend Governor A.
G.. Soriic on his appointment Of Ger
aid T.. Nye to fill the uncxpired term
of our late senator, f.. +. Ladd. be-
licving that he. Gerald +. Nye, will
work for the best interests Of the
common people Of the state and ma
ton, and this convention goes or
record as recommending the re-cn.
dorsement Of Gerald +. Nye at the
state convention Of the NOnpartisan
League to succeed himself.
We believe that at the time OF TAX
ing up the reins of government. the
present Nonpartisan League admins
tration was confronted with the Her
culean task Of building anew an eco.
monte and efficient government "Ot
the people. for the people and by the
people, on the lettering wreck there
Of which remained after three years
OF the previous administration, which
was bent on the humiliation Of al
industries and legislation which had
been instituted for the benefit Of the
agricultural and laboring classes in
our state, that administration which
at the same time permitted the plum
dering Of millions Of dollars from de.
positors in closed banks. while prac
tically no one was required to make
restitution therefor.
Administration Commended
We heartily commend the admins
tration of Governor A. G. Sorlie fol
fearlessly, but judiciously meeting
these adverse conditions; for laying
q substantial foundation on which tt
build a stable and efficient state gov
eminent.
We believe that the state mill ant
elevator at Grand Forks is the Ike!
to the agricultural success of Nortf
Dakota; that by Governor Sorlie hay
ing been placed in full control OF th'
state mill. economic reforms have
been installed which have at last pu
it on a paying basis. this same man
agement having established a clutter
value for North Dakota wheat ant
brought added profit to all whea
producers within it's borders.
We commend the economies in thu
present administration which permit
ted a reduction of approximate!
100000 in the state tax levy tn
first year over that of the last yea
of the Nestos administration. Thu
reduction, including deficit appropri
ations Of approximately $15O,OOO LEI
eby the NeStOs administration. WOult
have otherwise totaled $550,00O.
Approves Special Election
We commend the action of Cover
nor Sorlle IN calling special elec
ton for United States Senator at tn
time of the primary election Jun'
:,Oth, and his appointment Of sena
tor to fill such vacancy until tn
special election, whereby the peopl
are saved 100000 in taxes and tn
farm bloc in the senate IS ASSURED
another member.
Believing as we do in national re
publican principles we can only com
mend those policies which. II carrie
out, will tend to equalize the condi
ton Of the agricultural and industrial
classes with that of all other classes
We recommend that our state cOnven
ton shall, by suitable resolutions
make clear to the congress OF tn
United States that we demand an
will continue TO demand Legislation
sufficiently corrective Of the exist
ing unequal conditions and that sue
legislation be speedily enacted.
