DITOR Nonpartisan
Leader: There has been
an awful let of propa
ganda peddled about our
high taxes here in North
Dakota. Now here are
my taxes and hail insurance costs for
the years 1918 and 1919:
1918 taxes $ 85.30
1918 hail insurance 91.00
Total $176.30
1919 taxes and hail insurance
(for same amount) 145.94
My savings $ 30.36
This gets the old gangsters' goats.
"When you begin to show them these
figures they find that they can not see
them because they left their glasses
at home. There is nothing to their
arguments except wind and lies.
Stick? Of course we'll stick to the
finish. WESLEY WHITE.
Des Lacs, N. D.
FROM WASHINGTON
Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I
would like to have a word on this tax
subject before it is worked out. Some
folks even in North Dakota think their
taxes are high. I say "forget it." We
pay more taxes on 40 acres out here
than any of you do on 160, and you
folks have more money tied up in a
barn than we have in all our improve
ments. My taxes for 1917 were
$60.60, in 1919 I paid $160.70 on the
same 40 acres and we were not paying
for a mill or elevator or insurance and
no bonus for our returned soldier,
JUST TAXES.
It is queer how some people can
haul their products to an elevator or
sugar beet factory .(as in our case)
and let the company tax us each year
enctugh to pay for the plant and they
keep the plant, and we think it^all
right. But if we were to pay for the
same in our taxes and get it we howl
and condemn ou^ officials and accuse
them of all. sorts of crookedness and
turn them out and elect old gangsters
to turn state-owned property over to
private management and be robbed
and like it.
I think the Nonpartisan league pro
gram the finest ever conceived by the
mind of man and to those wavering
ones I say STICK. Stick to your of
ficials, they need your encouragement.
If they make mistakes, if they are
true they will with your support cor
rect them, profit by them, pay them
and go ahead. You can do it cheaper
than the old gang will do it^ for you,
and no one knows it better than that
same old gang.
We will be with you this fall.

Eleven success ul years of service in the field, meeting'
everj form condition, has tested the design of Rumely OilPull
Tractors. "Old Number One" and many other early models, after
eleven years of dependable and constant service, are still going
strong. Over 15,000 later models built on the same general
design, are giving the same dependable year-after-year service.
Advance-Rumely service is backed by over three-quarters
of a century of success in the manufacture

80 years of successful growth have built for Advance-Rumely a
^manufacturing institution of permanency and great strength. Ad
vance-Rumely has factories at La Porte, Ind., Battle Creek, Mich,
and Toronto, Ont., 127 modern buildings covering over 195 acrcs.
In order to provide closer co-operation with the farmer,
Advance-Rumely has. established 29 branch offices and ware
houses. Each has a complete stock of machines and parts, cap
able ofrenderingtoits customers the all-important,
close at hand,
immediate service. These branches are all located at important
railroad points, and are under the supervision of competent men.
Every one of tLe three thousand Advance-Rumely dealers
is able to provide intelLgent and expert service to farmers in
his locality. A tractor school is held for dealers each winter at
the La Porte factory, where every detail of the product is made
known to the dealers by expert instructors. This provides each
clealer with the abilityto supply the last link in the service chain.
The Rumely OilPull Tractor was designed and built to burn
kerosene, and each OilPull is guaranteed in writing to burn kero
sene under all conditions and at all loads to its full rated brake
horse power. It is oil cooled—the motor is low speed, heavy
duty, valve-in-head—cylinders are ground to the thousandth
part of an inch. The owner of an OilPull in 1920 is assured of
the same efficient and dependable service from his tractor that
the owner of an OilPull purchased in 1909 has received.
The OilPull is built in four sizes—12-20, 16-30, 20-40 and
