A copy of the Frazier Lemke
farm bankruptcy act has recently
been received at the farm bureau
office.
This is probably the most ad-
vanced piece of legislation that
has yet been passed under the new
deal" stated Scott 3. FouldS, sec
retary of the Imperial County Farm
Bureau, who is also concilation
commissioner ror Imperial county
"As I understand the act it will
be impossible to dispossess farmer
under foreclosure proceedings for
five years, providing he is able to
make payments fixed by the court
1.-The farmer will first file Sec
ton rs of the Bankruptcy Act. He
is merely required to set up that
he is unable to meet his debts as
they mature. Those eligible to file
under Section rs are bona fide
farmers or those whose principle
source of income is from farming
operations. The case will then be
referred to me as concilation COM
missioner and / will try to work
out a satisfactory agreement be-
tween the farmer and his creditors.
If no agreement can be reached,
the farmer may then ask to be
adjudged bankrupt. The case will
then be transferred before trus-
tee in bankruptcy"
Appraisers will be appointed
and the farmers property ap-
praised at its then fair and reason
able value, not necessarily the
market value. The farmer may
then petition the court that he
be allowed to retain possession OF
all or any part of his property
and pay for same at the appraised
valuation, with interest at l per
cent per annum, as follows:
Two and one-half per cent
within two years, additional 21a
per cent within three years, ad-
ditional per cent within four
years, additional 5 per cent with
in five years, balance within six
years, the farmer to pay all taxes.
eff any secured creditor, af-
fected thereby, objects to this ar
rangement, the court shall stay
all proceedings for five years, dur
ing which period the farmer may
retain possession of his property,
under the contract of the court,
upon payment of a reasonable rent

BISMARCK, N. D., July 18. U.P)
North Dakota was placed under
complete martial law today by Gov.
William H. LANCER.
The executive, convicted recently
Of a federal felony and facing a
penitentiary sentence, virtually de-
fled the state supreme court and
his political opponents to oust him
from office.
The governors proclamation,
suspending civil law and turning
the state over to 1900 national
guardsmen, was issued after the
supreme court had ruled that he
was disqualified for office by his
conviction.
1t preceded by only SO hours the
convening Of a special session of
the legislature, called by LANCER
in defiance of demands that he
be impeached. The legislature will
investigate his official conduct but,
being overwhelmingly of his fac
ton of the nonpartisan Repub-
lican organization, it is expected
to acquit him of any offense.
Sixty national guardsmen took
control of the capital Immediately
after the proclamation of martial
law was stamped with the state
seal.
Their appearance on the build
ing's portico was the signal for q
mixed chorus of boos and cheers
from a crowd of more than SOC
