WHY HANNA DID NOT WANT
THE BANK RECEIVERSHIP
THROUGH EXPOSE OF CONDITIONS MADE RECENT
LY BY FORMER GOVERNOR AT FARGO.
That 29 state banks have failed
since July 1st—not counting the
tional banks that closed;
That a section farm brought him
$170, after the thresh hill was paid—
and the taxes are $300 on that sec
tion;
That a farm of three quarters
brouht him $2, after the thresh bill
was paid;
That under the new I. V. A. tax
law, the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE)
occupied by the owner (wiiich under
the Nonpartisan law were taxed at 50
per cent valuation) are now taxed at
75 per cent of their valuation AND
that business property formerly taxed
al 100 per cent of its'valuation' is, un
der the same new law', being taxed on
but 75 per cent of its valuation;
That over 200 families have left !
Fargo alone for other states, owing
to high taxes and hard times.
Well? Who said it? Some raving
Nonpartisan farmer? Some wildeyed
agitator Quit your foolishness—L.
,
B. Hanna, former congressman and
former governor of North Dakota ut
tered those facts!
How did it happen ? There was a i
fight on to compell Fargo city com
mission to reduce taxes by cutting out
the installation of a pump and a hos
pital and a few trifles, and the busi- i
ness men ami interested citizens ap- ;
peared before the commission on Sep
tember 12 to wrestle with the commis
sion. The vote stood 3 to 2 for the
"extras," but the debate brought out
tire facts—and that is what interests
every farmer.
Fargo dailies carried reports of the
meetings and of the remarks of the
speakers. Of course the statement
with regard to the number of families
leaving the city was suppressed out
of "local pride." Foolish pride that
seeks to ignore and hide what actual
formerly*the
Courier-News. It would be unlikely j
to misrepresent or report falsely any-j

returns from the operation of a see
tion farm - After paying the thresh
in ^ bil1 we had about $170 left as our
?ha re of the proceeds. The taxes on
this furm are over $300. From an
other farm of three quarters there
was only a little over $2 left after the
threshers had been paid. So you see

said
Besides these there are
a number of national banks that have
been closed. North Dakota is facing
a crisis and it is up to all the govern
mental agencies of this state to re
duce expenses, lower the taxes, if we
are to survive. We are facing a sit
uation where the farmers of the state
are not making expenses.
Profit« From the Farm.
'For example: We just received
v yhat we are up against.
these we must curtail

Tax Cut on Business
"In face of this, taxes are not be
ing materially reduced. The taxes on
homes, in the contrary have been
raised. Taxes on business property
which used to be based on 100 per cent
valuation, ai e now lowered to 75 per
cent, but on homes in which the own
er lives, where the tax used to be
based on 50 per cent valuation, the
valuation has been raised to 75 per
cent. We must take these things in
to consideration,
