THE FRAZIER-LEMKE FARM
MORTGAGE MORATORIUM ACT

Believing that brief explanation of the
Frazer-Lemke Farm Mortgage Morator-
ium Act woul dbe of interest to some of
the farmer readers of the Producers News,
| will try to give step by step explana-
ton of the Act.
The new Act has been in operation
little over year and in some sections of
Montana has been the means of saving
hundreds of farmers from losing their
property. Under the provisions of this
law any farmer who has not actually lost
title to his property may file petition
with a Cancellation Commissioner or with
the Clerk of the United States District
Court, and for a period of three years he
can be assured of possession of his proper
ty including livestock and all farm pro-
perty.
The purpose of the Frazer-Lemke Act
is to create a moratorium on all farm debts
so that the farmer may retain the posses
sion and use of his farm for the period as
the farmers were at the mercy of the
grating mortgage sharks and collectors
for the machinery trust.
In order to set up a Cancellation Com
missioner it is necessary for at least five
bona fide farmers of the county to sign
a petition to the Federal Judge of their
district asking that a Cancellation Com
missioner be appointed for their county.
Also, they must state in their petition that
the signers intend to take advantage of
the provisions of Section Is of the Bank
ruptcy Act. Upon the filing of the petit
ton the Federal Judge will appoint Con-
Citation Commissioner for the county or
district
After the Cancellation Commissioner
has been duly sworn in and has furnished
bond, the next step is for some farmer
who is in financial difficulty to go to some
lawyer who is in sympathy with the farm
er and have him draw up petition and
file it with the Clerk of the United States
District Court, and this should be done be-
fore sheriff's sale has been held, other
wise certain rights may be lost. This petit
ton should be carefully drawn and all
debts and assets must be listed. When the
petition is filed with the Clerk of the Fed
eral Court he refers the case &C. he Con-
Citation Commissioner who sets the date
of the first meeting of the creditors at
which the creditors may meet and ques-
ton farm debtor as to his financial
affairs and the farmer will submit an Of
fer of settlement which the creditors have
nintey days to accept or reject, unless
otherwise notified by the Cancellation
Commissioner.
1T majority In amount and number fail
to accept the offer of the debtor the same
is rejected and the farmer must file an
amended petition asking that he be adj

judged bankrupt under Subsection (S)
OF Section rs of the Bankruptcy Act. All
property of the farmer is now under the
exclusive Jurisdiction of the Federal Court.
Immediately upon the filing of the first
petition any attempt to interfere with his
possession or to proceed with legal per-
tanning to the farmers property will upon
proper application to the Federal Court,
will issue restraining order enjoining
such interference.
A second creditors meeting is called by
the Cancellation Commissioner after the
amended petition is filed. In this meeting
the creditors are given an opportunity to
again question the debtor. The Concilia-
ton Commissioner will then appoint three
disinterested parties to appraise the deb
tors property and report as to it's value.
Then the Cancellation Commissioner issues
an order setting aside the exemptions of
the farmer according to. state law and also
issues an order staying all proceedings for
the three year period and the debtor is
given the right to retain any or all of his
property, being required to pay such sum
Tor the use thereof or rent as the Court
may choose to order
At the end of or before this ehree wear
POA%OO CAPAS0 C1S 1dTIIl0T is required to
pay in full unless he can make other ar
rangements with his creditors.
The writer has observed the working of
this law in the central part of the state
and find that wherever the law has been
administered by ,fair-minded, honest Con
citation Commissioners that the farm
mortgage sharks have drawn in their
horns and have ceased to harass the debt
ridden farmer.
| might add that the Great Falls Divi-
sion of the Federal District has a Judge

slons and has refused to be bullied bv the
attorneys for the mortgage companies.

D0NAHUE RETURNS
WITT TURCOTTE

New Haven, Nov. 18--Dick Tur-
cote, the Waterbury southpaw, was
considered lucky by the summer
fans when he was given O draw with
Irish Mickey Donahue, Of SIAM
ford, ct the White City stadium a
few months back.
Turcotte has resented any such In
situations, however, and gets the
chance to prove his point on Thurs
day night ut the Arena when he
meets up with Donahue In o return
bout.
Why the match wasn't put on be-
fore Is a puzzle, for both boys In
sisted that they wanted the re-
match, but since then Turcotte has
lost but once and Donahue has
tuprned In some fine performances.
The Stamford boy took over Eddie
Lee several weeks ago and also
boasts Of O win over Jackie Alexan-
der, the New Britain lightweight
who recently moved into the profess
sional ranks.
Turcotte's most spectacular victory
on his long list was the 2o-second
knockout by Ray Ackerly, Of White
Plains, at the Arena two weeks ago.
