State Supreme Court
Upholds Respondents

Two respondents involved in q VAL
ley City civil conspiracy action Mon
day were victors in state supreme
court.
The two were Olaf simenson and
the Rusell-Miller Milling company.
They had been sued by Lars We'd

firm. for damages after he had as
ertedly been locked out Of the bakery.
The court held the Judgment against
Wedwik was correct. In its opinion
the court said, the civil action Of
conspiracy Is = tort action and can
rot In general be maintained for In
ducing q third person to break his
contract With the plaintiff, the conse-
quence at law being cnly q broken
contract for which the party to the
contract may have his remedy by
suing upon it,
Wedwik maintained he had been
forced out Of the partnership with
Simenson, through influence Of . rep
resentative Of the milling company.
Evidence at the trial, according to the
court record, showed the bakery had
been operated at loss since the two
entered the business upon agreement

unless, at the same time, they can
make deals with their creditors which
will put them In shape to make 1 new
start. Otherwise, they have been con-
tent to 90 along as they are, paying
little or nothing on their debts.
In very few cases has the land bank
been willing to advance enough to
clear all Indebtedness. At the same
time, 1t sometimes has set forth con-
ditions as to what must be cleared
before . loan will be granted at Ill.
The result has been to force IN I'd.
justment Of claims by creditors and
in cases where such adjustments have
not been given loans frequently have
been held up.
May Want 70 Wait
With the moratorium in effect,
there is at least the possibility that
farmers will be more than ever reluc-
tant to make adjustments which do
not materially scale down their bur-
dens. Some may prefer to take ad-
vantage Of its provisions and wait to
see what happens. To others It win
be at least q temporary refuge from
bankruptcy.
If, as seems possible, It results In
refusal to 60 ahead with land bank
applications because Of inability to
compromise with creditors, the effect
may be to hamper the Bank Of North
Dakota in its efforts to transfer its
land loans to the federal system.
Meantime, the Bank Of North Da.
kota Is continuing to foreclose on
past-due loans, despite the guberna-
torial moratorium which has been In
effect for the last year. These FORE
closures now are being advertised as
On "instalments only" and Is being
consistent with the proclamation Of
the governor Of the state Of North
Dakota"
They are. however, genuine FORE
closures although designed to make It
easier for the owner to redeem the
land should he reach . position to do
so.
This is done by foreclosing only on
the past-due installments. In one
case, for example, these total 81 800
and the foreclosure IS for that amount,
although the bank continues to hold
the first-mortgage for 5000. II,
within the redemption period. the
farmer becomes able to pay the in
stallments and reinstate the loan he
will Be permitted TO do 50. In the
event Of his failure to pay on the
amount foreclosed, however, the en-
tire property would revert to the bank
which would take title ON the basis
OF the installment foreclosure. No
further action would be needed.
Other Banks In Clear
The reason local banks other than
the Bank Of North Dakota are not
particularly concerned with the ope-
rations Of the moratorium law lies In
the character OF their business. They
haven't loaned on land for years and
their holdings include almost no real
ESTATE.
The barnyard loans, instituted dur
ing the Hoover administration, en-
abled them to get good deal Of thei,
money out Of loans secured by chat
tel mortgages and they haven't gone
In for these on any considerable scale
since.
One reason for this has been thu
advent Of other government loanine
agencies, such as tho district credit
corporations which are loaning none,
on easier terms or lower interest rate
l-or both-than the private banks ar,
prepared to do.
As result Of these DEVELOPMENTS
which are not particularly cheering

Farm Bill Benefits

Incidentally. these loans have i'm
proved the position OF the Bank Of
North Dakota as Z first-mortgage
holder.
Some Loans In Trandt
In transit are AL more loans for
= total Of tl,0oe, 100. On these the
deals have been made and compile
tion Is assured.
Added to these figures Is $376, ,oe3. .03
received by the Bank Of North Da-
kota from sales Of foreclosed land,
bought back by the original owners
with land bank money.
Thus $6,735. .261.55 has been poured
into the Bank Of North Dakota
through the federal farm refinancing
operations and 2,864 farm loans have
been either cleared from the books
OF put in good shape by the opera
tion.
And about $500 other loans are 'in
the mill'' for refinancing with govern
nlent money. This Is the point where
the banks operations may be affected
by the federal moratorium bin. TO see
why this IS 50 it Is necessary to take q
look at the bill itself and the manner
IN which the Bank OF North Dakota
has been making use Of the refinanc-
ing program.
The bill itself may best be described
as . club with which the debtor can
force his creditors to make IN adjust
ment with him. They can scale down
their claims to the point which the
federal court believes he can pay or
IN the event they refuse to do 90, he
can take advantage Of the morator-
ium. II he pursues the latter course
he can pay q reasonable rental value
of the land and q sliding scale Of In
terest on his debts for period oi
six years, beginning at one per cent
and reaching . maximum Of five
per cent at the end Of the moratorium
period.
10 Real sEncouraSef'
In signing the bill, President Roose.
velt remarked that 1t would encourage
participation in the federal re-financ.
ing plan. What he might have said Is
that 1t would force such participation
for the penalty Of refusal Is obvious
The creditor who refuses will get only
one per cent for six years and at the
end Of that period still faces thu
possibility Of losing everything II 1,
appears that the farmer still cannot
pay out.
The result is to put farm machin.
cry firms, banks and other creditors
on chattel mortgages up against thu
alternative Of taking what they Car
get now, on q judicially determined
equitable basis, or waiting until the,
are again In position to attempt K
force collection. Meanwhile the farm
e: has the use Of machinery, tn,
money or the mortgaged property
with the probability that It will de-
teriorate in value rather than In
crease. The encouragement" to set
tie Is obvious.
The difficulty which the bank ma,
encounter because Of the new mora
torium bill Is evidenced by the trou'
BILE It already has had In getting
farmers to apply for refinancing.
In most cases the farmer has cred
itors besides the bank and owes NOR,
than he can pay. Some have beer

to bankers Tor they 80 their bust
ness field being invaded, they have
confined their business largely to bus
iness loans. the purchase Of CONNER
cial paper and investments In stocks
and bonds.
At the same time they express the
idea that insurance companies, which
lave many real estate investments,
may Be seriously hampered by the
moratorium act. The fact. however,
js that many Of these have made pri-
vate adjustments with their debtors
which probably would continue In ef-
feet until the borrowers are able to
pay.
Dislike Villains Role
The local men also made 1t plain
that they resent the role Of hard
hearted money sharks In which bank
ers frequently have been cast by po-
litical spell l-binders and agitators.
They think It unfair to picture the
banker as IN individual who lies In
wait for the financially feckless, hop
Ing for an opportunity to foreclose.
McCanna even suggested-and he
seemed serious-that hts bank would
rather cancel the debt than foreclose
on q real estate mortgage. The rea-
son, he explained. Is that II the farm
er couldn't make 1t 60 the bank GER
tainly couldn't and In any event the
bank would be letting itself In for the
taxes.
Davis wasn't 20 fortnight. His
view was that the local banker who
knows his customers Is In q better
position to know the load they can
carry than 4 court would Be. Govern
ment operation Is not efficient, he
said, and any offocial appointed to
administer the act under the direc-
ton Of the federal court-or the court
itself-might lack the ability which q
trained banker would bring to the
problem.
As for scaling down debts. he said
the banks have been doing 30 right
along, adjusting their claims to what
the farmer could pay. II bankers did
rot do this voluntarily they were
forced to It by the bank examiners
who check on the condition Of q
banks loans.
The bankers, both men made clear.
long for the return Of normal times
just as much as the farmer but they
doubt that adoption Of such measures
as the farm moratorium Will speed
their return.
Foresee Court Jam
Meantime, general interest was ex-
pressed by all concerned q well as by
the general public, Is to the manner
in which the bill will-or can be ad-
ministered.
The 1880 census showed 1892
farms reporting. Whether or not the
number has increased or decreased
ITO one can say definitely. OF that
number . large part are encountered
by debts and In many cases the debts
are heavy. The result Of this situa-
ton may be an influx Of requests for
action under the federal moratorium.
II 10 per cent apply it will mean
more than 1000 cases for one federal
Judge to handle. The result would be
q jam Of such proportions that the
court would be swamped.
Hence the question "how can the
law be administered"
The answer Of most persons who
have speculated on the question Is
that the court already has referees in
bankruptcy and federal commission
ers working under its jurisdiction
The number Of these might be In.
creased Or new assistance obtained X
Eear the cases and make recommend.

fought and died. Guard jealousy

which guarantees those ideals"
"The Legion does not zee radical
motive and intent behind every sug-
gestion that improvement could be
made In the administration Of our
laws" he said. 1T believes that most
Of our Ills arise from q lax, or i'm
proper, administration Of the laws
now on the books.
"Our Legion believes In and sup.
ports our constitutional form OF gov
ernment and upholds the hands I
constituted authority everywhere. Il
believes In q free press and in free
speech, but 1t will remain on guard to
zee that the liberty Is not abused and
that It does not become license to
destroy our government itself.
Explains Universal Service
''The American Legion say that It
Is not the duty Of any one g-t p to
carry the burden alone. but 1t Is the
duty Of all. Sincere in its purpose
Of promoting peace, and In T ,oviding
an adequate defense for our nation,
the Legion has devised q plan that
would distribute equally this burden.
We call It universal service in time Of
war. It's main purpose would be to
prevent any profit In war. It's enact
ment would cost nothing and it would
never be used unless war Is forced
upon US.
Those who are misled into believ-
ing in disarmament, can we'll sub
scribe to this principle Of universal
service Is preventive Of war. Ger
tainly, II the government Of the Unit
ed States could say upon the decla-
ration Of war. that every element,
every resource, capital, labor, trans
portation and industry, Is well as
manpower, must give equal service.
and with profit to none, there would
be no avaricious, plain ney-grabb-
ing, individual or group who would
advocate war for the purpose Of add
Ing to personal bank accounts. Also,
with this principle enacted into the
basic law Of our land, 1t would be
notification to the world that the
United States stood solidly united for
defense. And no nation. or group Of
nations, would seek fight with US
when that Is established"
Regarding legislation for the dis
abled, he said:
The legislation that the Legion
has sponsored is to compensate. not
pension, the veterans disabled In their
country's service. Yet there is an
element In our NATIONAL life that has
been influential because of It's wealth.
that Is classifying the veterans Of the
wars Of the United States, who dis
abled and helpless, received the graft
tude Of our government In the form Of
. nneager compensation, as treasury
raiders and perpetrators Of what they
now call q crime"
