A SEVEN-POINT PLAN

beulan, N. L., Lee. IL, 1857.
Editor, Tribune:
There was a letter in your paper a
short time ago signed by "A Farmer"
that had some good ideas. He desired
to do away with real estate and per-
sonal taxes and substitute an income
tax. I believe that this would be q
fine thing Then, when We have de-
preston and none Of the business men
or farmers have an income, the pub
lie officials would also be without an
income and they would find 1t neces-
sary to save up for q rainy day too.
About all you hear though from the
general public Is one plan or other to
increase farm prices. allotment, de-
benture or equalization fee. After
running around In circles for the last
three years there are still quite q few
people that want to keep us dizzy.
would suggest that few more
people spend their time, now that
they have lots Of 1t, In trying to form
ulate a plan to do the following
things:
LIST. Bring taxes down to the farm
er's level.
End. Bring down freight rates and
also light rates and telephone rates as
they are still where they were in 1929
or higher.
3rd. Help the trucks compete with
the railroads.
4th. Cut official salaries down 50
that they will sympathize with the
small town merchant and farmer and
won't be 50 anxious to run for office.
5th. Scale down the debts so that q
person will be able to pay them.
9Th. Get commodities down SO that
the people can buy.
7th. Keep the government out o!
business
Yours very truly,

week and feelings are running higl,
there owing to some unwise. prema-
ture talks OF Mr.. LANCER.
Mr.. LANCER has all he can do to
help save the states credit. and ex-
pect he will find the Bank Of North
Dakota in worse shape than we were
led to believe just before election. The
banks and real estate men have used
the bank for a dumping ground for
poor farm loans for years: in fact,
from the very start.
And now the Bank Of North Dakota
will probably never make another
farm loan and the supposition has
always been that the bonds would be
paid by the farmer. In q strictly ag-
ricultural state the taxes are all paiu
by the farmer. The higher the taxes
the higher the freight rates 60. The
grocer, dentist, doctor, etc.. etc.. all
have to raise their price to leave a
profit II they can get business enough
to carry the load.
For the last several years the banks
have refused to loan on farms because
of those taxes, because Of those state.
county and school bond issues that
will soon have to be paid.
The farmer did not see as far ahead
but it Is dawning on him that the
mortgage that he and his wife put on
the farm is only about one-third or
one fourth Of the debt that he will
have to pay. and soon.
Now the farmer Is not going to pay
but very little Of those debts for sew
eral reasons and it Is up to Mr.. Ian
ger and the rest Of those newly -elect-
ed officials to save the Bank Of North
Dakota and the credit Of the state.
In order to do that he will be
obliged to weed out some undesirables
and may put in some others that are
not big enough. don't know where
he can find any one that will un-
tangle this mess. He will have to call
in all the county monies and school
monies. There will be small banks
hurt and schools will have to close
and many will blame LANCER and 9TH
ers: but rest assured Of this: II the
initiative and referendum law that
has been assailed so much Of late. Is
used to GUST any one in the near fu-
ture, then that moratorium will 60
over with a bang.
Yours truly.

MUKDEN, Manchuria, J Il. 5, fP)-The question as to the repar- ation to be made by the Japanese military office for the "unjustified" attack on Vice Consul c. Chamber lain became a problem to be sett- led between the governments at Washington and Tokyo.
 American Consul General Myrl Meyers received apologies from the acting Japanese Consul, Kazuhi- to Morishira here declined to treat the brutal assault as an in cident capable of being settled by local American and Japanese auth critics. Consul General Meyers has sent all information in connection with the matter to the State De- partment at Washington.
 Vice Consul Chamberlain, in a report to Washington, wrote; I'm at loss to account for this entire ly unprovoked brutal attack. Had I resisted I probably would have been shot. It emphasized that my identity must have been realized when the attack was made"
 Chamberlain said that the Jap anese civilian interpreter question ed him for five minutes while the others pointed their rifles at him. Chamberlain asked the soldiers and the interpreter why he was being detained but the civilian only sneered at him and asked Cham berlain for his card. The query by Chamberlain as to the reason of his being de' ned angered the in terpreter so tat blow was aimed at Chamberlain head. Chamber lain got into his diplOmatic car but the interpreter followed him and oeat him.
 One of h uniformed m Il pounded Chamberlain wi h the muzzle of his rifle. When they left him he was so badly beaten that his face was cut to the bone in two places.
