Moratorium Will Help
Only Absentee Land
lords In State
By HANS RASMUSSEN

No doubt some of the lawmak-
ers thought they had done some
thing worth while for "the people
ct home" when they passed an
other two-year moratorium bill.
We have not seen this new law
and do not lTow the details Of it.,
but from the information we have
it is just another piece Of fakery
made to fool the people with.
First the law provides that, if
you pay your back taxes within a
certain length of time, then you
will not have to pay any penalty
or interest. That part would kind
of appeal to the people at home,
no matter if they ever would be
able to nav their taxes or not. But
every lawmaker knew, if they
knew anything at all. that that
part would be unconstitutional, and
| it has already been declared so
However. that does not kill the
rest Of the law.
The law also provides for two.
year moratorium on back taxes
For that length Of time the county
will not be allowed to take over
the property on account Of delin-
quent taxes. That sounds mighty

the grievance committee. LaurSen,
being elected by the farmers as
their representative on the griev-
ance committee, has been a hard
pill for Prendergast to swallow.
He recognizes Laursen as a man
who cannot be bought by slick flat
terry and a slap on the back. So
in spite Of the fact that he has
accepted Laursen as the farmers
representative, he calls a county
wide meeting to give the people of
Sheridan county an opportunity to
select representative to serve on
the grievance committee.
No distinction is made as to
what particular people of Sheridan
county the mas is, e represent,
nor in what way he is to repre-
sent the farmers. Apparently Mr..
Prendergast is afraid that Laur-
n will not represent the farmers
as he wants him to.
Does Prendergast think that the
people of Sheridan county are GO
ing to let him disregard the rep
resentative they have elected, and
let him have someone else put II
Laursen's place who will represent
the people of the county as Prem
dergast has been doing?

Drought Quite Definitely

Wallace

Coinciding with war rumors in
Europe and furious armament rae
ing, Secretary Wallace removed all
on wheat planting ac-
reage. He stated another wheat
shortage was feared because of the
threat of another drought this
year, and all restrictions were to
be removed.
This action followed quickly af-
ter the years first crop report
showing that farmers intend to
Mart 17,8470O0 acres of spring
wheat as compared with the 49,
521,0CO acres planted in 1884.
"The drought quite definitely
continues" in parts of the West,
Wallace said, adding that sur
vey of the situation led the ad-
n'inistration to the conviction that
''in view of the possibility of an
other drought which would serious
ly affect the output of wheat, the
government and farmers have a
duty" to protect consumers against
wheat shortage.
Drought conditions are reported
prevalent in the western parts Of

STATE WILL HAVE
HIGHWAY PATROL

By the governor signing SD. &c,
the state of Montana has a high
way patrol bill which goes into eff
feet 60 days after signature at
tached.
The cost of this patrol will be
financed through fines collected
and by Soc drivers license fee.
The amount Of patrol put on will
depend on to what extent the mon
ey comes in. The initial salary
will be $125 per month, but can
be increased to $160.
What will draw penalties to
motorists are: Driving without the
proper lights; without license or
permit; bad brakes; passing with
out giving proper warning; pass
ing on sharp turns or hills; pass
ing on wrong side; trailer without
light; other vehicle without light;
failure to stop at stop signals;
reckless driving ard in excess of
~rf limit; driving while intox-
icated.
If you are good and sober, and
what you did didn't amount tt
much, they might let you off with
a warning" or 50 fire the first
time, but can raise it as high as
500 for the third offense.
If YOU are in the RECKLESS
class, the fine is not less than SO
and for the third offense they car
give you as much as six months il
Jail and $500 fine on top of it.
But if you are intoxicated, yot

it will do a lot of good for the

It would be rather foolish for a

if he could not pay his taxes the

driving people awav would he of
no benefit to the courtv. To these
farmers the moratorium is Of no

It is different with the outside
land owners. Many Of them have
not paid taxes for wears. and new
er intend to paw them Thev want
to get all they can out of the land
without paying taxes, and then let
the land 90. Now this moratorium
is helping these land owrers. Il
gives them another two years in
which they can collect rent with
out paying taxes. And it. leaves

Complaint On
Feed Loan
Gets Results
Dagrnar Farmer Has His
Loan Increased Fifty
Per Cent

Chris Heiberg, farmer of Dag
mar, who recently wrote to the
state supervisor for federal crop
and feed loans, James Griffin, "a
bout his feed loan situation, has
received further results on his
complaint. His feed loan was in
creased $25.
Heiberg had complained to the
state supervisor that his feed loan
had been cut from $85 to $50 for
the last few months and that it
was impossible for him to feed his
livestock when the price of hay is
up to $21 per ton. Last Friday
he received another feed loan
check and found that the amount
had been raised from $50 to $75.
His Individual complaint, to-
gether with TIE interview tbs Hell

fin and the publicity given by the

ing results.
