States senate prohibiting short-sell-
ing Of agricultural products and in
.struct our secretary TO forward our
representatives in congress and Sen.

ton.
Favor Olco Tax
We deplore the fact that the con-
sumption OF oleomargarine has In
creased to such an extent that the
price Of hutterfat Is the lowest this
winter that II has been for years, and
the amount Of butter In storage has
increased over S0,0o0,000 pounds over
that In storage last year at this time.
The profit upon o~leomargartue sales
Is great to merchant, and mauufac-
turer. the loss to the farmer because
Of these sales Il also greater. We
favor q tax on oleomargartue to
equalize this disparity.
We suggest and recommend to the
cooperative farm organizations Of
North Dakota that they make z spe.
cial effort to assist the people Of the
State Of North Dakota through their
state industries by handling the dis
tribution Of the products Of such In.
dustries.
Protest Shafcr Statement
Whereas. the Honorable George
Shafer, governor Of our state, has in
a recent statement, broadcast to the
country that the State of North Da-
koa us In a dying condition, to the
extent that within Z short span Of
years all the small towns Of the state
will be annihilated SO that only Is
towns will be left as trade centers, ana
Whereas. such . statement will
convey q false impression to the rest
Of our country with the effect that
the credit underlying the business
structure Of our state will be great
ly impaired;
Be 1t resolved, that the Nonpartisan
League in convention assembled pro-
tests against such q Misrepresentation
of facts as a reflection upon the in
dustry. integrity and business sense
Of the merchants and tradesmen of
our small towns as well as q reflec-
ton upon the farms from which the
small towns Of our state draw their
sustenance.
Favor Farm Schools
Whereas. there Is an insistent de-
mand from all sections Of the state
for practical agricultural education
available to the rural children. We
declare IN favor Ct agricultural high
schools, correlated with the agricul-
tural college.
We call the attention Of the citi-
zens Of the state to the fact that our
opponents promised the voters a bust
ness administration" and condemned
the Nonpartisan League for establish
ing grain storage facilities, rs pr0vid-
ed for In our state mill and elevator
and for demanding more storage ia
cilities, yet there never has been such
a deplorable condition In marketing
grain as was experienced In the fall
Of 1929 because Ct insufficient storage
space. Such terminal storage facil-
tiles as were available were In exist
ence because Of the Nonpartisan
League and would not have been ex-
istant had not the State Of North
Dakota placed them there.

I. We heartily commend Senator'S
Frazier. and Nye. and Representative
Sinclair Of our national congress for
the valiant stand which they have
taken for progressive legislation in the
interest Of the people and against
special privileges and corrupt prac-
tices, such as support of the farm
board; opposition to the national orr
gins clause in the immigration stat
utes: their splendid stand for world
peace, etc.
2. we submit that the rural
schools should receive q larger share
Of state school funds as compared
to the so-called higher educational
institutions, and that the North Da-
kota course Of study be so revised as
to furnish q practical education to
the children Of vi state.
3. We point with pride to III state
bonding fund with its $31 900 surplus;
to our state hail insurance, which In
the face Of the most bitter chicanery
Of every sort, has furnished hail in.

panies: to our insurance on public
buildings with its fund Of protection
Of 81 100000; to the low rate Of In
terest on farm loans through the
bank Of North Dakota. ,
These are the results Of the battles
fought for the common people Of the

partisans against the combined OPP
position Of some people Of North Da-

Dakota for the past II years.

gressive principles enunciated In our
