could be expected. Anything that
would benefit people who are hard

choice of paying our taxes with

some way. With most of us it
means no choice because we can
not pay our taxes anyway even
without the penalty. 1t means
more fight.

KINDLY FEELING
FOR SALE BY STATE

We have mentioned before in
the Producers News that the last
legislature had authorized the
state to issue and sell s., 500, 900
worth of funding bonds to take up
general outstanding general fund
warrants.
These bonds were advertised and
offered for sale, but not a bid of
any kind was received by the state
nobody wanted them. The papers
then came out and said the bonds
would be offered for sale to pri-
vate parties, and gave the impress
sion that doing so people would be
falling over one another in order
to get chance to buy these bonds.
But so far it don't look like the
state has had much luck getting
anybody to bid.
Now the state auditor, John J..
Holmes, is sending out a letter to
insurance companies doing bust
ness in Montana, asking them to
buy at least $1,000 worth of bonds.
In the letter he says: at is my
opinion that by so doing, a more
kindly feeling between the people
of Montana and the insurance com
panies will prevail"
This part of the letter is very
interesting and probably very eff
fective. 1t sounds very much like
letter a prohibition officer would
send to bootlegger. A thousand
dollars would bring about ga more
kindly feeling" 1t sounds like:
Give US a thousand dollars and we
will shut our eyes while you keep
on skinning the people as much as
you like.
A letter of that kind to every
CRATER in the state might bring
results. 1t would assure him of pro
lection and he could safely start
out on a bigger scale. There is
more than one way selling state
bonds if you only know how to &c
at it. Exchanging kindly feeling
for a thousand dollars is one way
of doing it.
We are not against anybody buy
ing any kind of bonds they feel
like buying, but, when it comes to
making it into a kind of hijacking
proposition like this looks to be
then we are here to call the atten-
| ton of people to it.

HAS JACK BENNETT
GONE CRAZY?

1t has been quite freely discus
sed here lately whether Jack Ben
nett has gone crazy or not. From
the way he is acting, many people
are getting the opinion that he
is getting to the point where ne
should be put away for safe keep
ing behind some iron bars.
In the relief station and post
office he is at times treating peo-
pie like raving maniac, lately he
has shown the heighth of his
crazyness by sneaking up behind
people ON the street and hitting
them with all his might in the
face.
That a man of this calibre be
left in charge Of a U. S. postoffice
and be the boss of a relief COM
mittee is beyond the understand
ing Of many Of the best people in
the county. Having a person act
ing like maniac and at the same
time be in charge of these insti-
buttons is disgrace to the town
of Plentywood and something
should be done at once and he
should be put somewhere where he
could do no harm to his surround
ingS.

Washington, April 8.-Regula-
tons for crop production loans In
Montana, North and South DakO-
ia, and Minnesota are relaxed un-
der an agreement drawn late Fri
day by Henry Morgenthau, jr.,
farm board chairman, and DR.. c.
w. WarburtOn, in charge of loans
for the agriculture department.
Borrowers in the four states
whose crops in 1882 were so short
that they do not now have seed
and feed and need money for the
purchase of seed will be granted
loans providing each is secured by
a lien on this years crop only.
Notes representing unpaid loans
obtained by farmers from the de-
partment of agriculture In 1882
and prior years will be taken over
by the new farm credit administra
ton, which Morgenthau will head
under recent executive order.
Borrowers who obtained govern
ment loans for crop production in
previous years but did not produce
enough at current prices to repay
their loans and now have on hand
sufficient seed and feed or use
this spring, will be given credit
on past due Indebtedness or the
value of seed used for sowing this
year. A seed lien for the same
amount will be required.
Officials explained that under
the new regulations it will only be
necessary for the farmer to give
a mortgage to the Reconstruction
Finance corporation for advances
made during 1888 e seed and feed
loans. There will be nc require
ment for crop mortgage or lien
to cover loans received during the
seasons Of 1880, 1881, or 1882.

GOVERNMENT RELIEF Is

When the government apprO-

wherever there is an organization

Last spring all the farmers thru
the seed and feed loans didn't get
as much out of the government as
did one Chas. Dawes, chairman Of
the Il. F. c. who got eighty mil

looted the banks and then resigned
as chairman Of the R. F. C.
Then Atlee Powerene, another
banker, was appointed chairman,
