the convention.
Platform Changes
As finally adopted the platform
was that presented by tho platform
committee with two changes. The
first change rewrote the plank Re.
ferring to the Bank Of North Dakota
to read a. follows: I'VE demand
that the Bank of North Dakota be
operated as = peoples bank and that
it be operated by the Industrial
Commission and that it be operated
as real bank and not - . mere
adjunct to the private banks, per-
forming merely the functions Of a
clearing house. We are for the estab-
lishment of branch Of the Bank
Of North Dakota in any county
whenever q majority Of the people
Of such county demand it. We also
demand that the red tape surround.
ire the farm loan department be
dispensed with and that the bank
render . real service to the farm.
ers Of this state"
The second change added to the
plank calling for the establishment
Of moro terminal elevators the fol-
lowing statement: ave demand
that the mill and elevator associa-
ton be operated in the interests Of
the farmers and consumers Of this
state and that it be operated free
and independent of the Twin City

it be operated in competition with
said interests and not as . mere
laboratory for experimental pur.
poses. And we also demand that q
terminal marketing agency be es-

reduced from five to three men,
bers, one from each congressional
district.
The finance committee reported .

Roper With Mcadoo
Roper is one of the McAdoo fac.
ton of 1924 and several OF those
reported to be aligned with him in
the battle against Smith today were
in the McAdoo camp in former
days. But there il no mention of
McAdoo in their meetings of today.
Their fight is based on prohibition.
The Sunday statement OF Senator
Reed on prohibition. declaring that
the 18th amendment must be en-
forced by both states and federal
government until and unless a bet
ter way of regulating the liquor
traffic is discovered. has gone a
long way in bringing the gap be-
tween his forces and the band of
southern drys.
II Smith is stopped, Reed is
hopeful Of receiving southern and
western endorsement. The program
beyond stopping Smith, however,
has not even been considered. 1t is
the hope OF the southern drys that
each OF the many favorite vons
from their section will hold their
strength in the convention long
enough to stem the tide.

Farm Loans Succeed
Old "Merchant Credit"

Atlanta, June 26 lP-Mercndnt
credit, the old system under which
numerous cotton farmers obtained
deferred payments on equipment
and fertilizer, is fading from the
south. A government survey show
that in 1926 cash advances compos-
ed So per cent and merchant credit
IS per cent of the loans. In 1928
the figures were % and II per cent
respectively.
While the number OF farm loans
in the cotton belt are increasing,
the total Indebtedness has declined.
The amount of loans is smaller.
The average amount OF short term
credit used per farm in 1926 in 10
c0ton states was but $40. The
least credit was in Tennessee.
which averaged $500 per farm.
South Carolina was the highest,
with $3.50 per farm.
The survey revealed that more
tenants than owners borrowed at
the banks.

CRIMES AGAINST
WOMEN

Press releases tell the grue-
some story of several attacks
made by white degenerates on
colored girls in the South. In
all of these reported cases in
dictments have followed and
it looks as though there is a
determination upon the part of
the authorities to punish these
lecherous creatures for their
crimes even though the victims
of their lusts are black. Those
acquainted with the South
know full well that hitherto
crimes of this and like charac-
ter committed against Negroes
have been generally ignored.
Let US hope that the publicity
given to such crimes and the
apparently sincere effort to
mete out punishment impartial
ly to violators of law, no mat
ter what their race or color
may be the harbinger of a
brighter day when crime shall
be radically reduced.
