This business of Max Munk started back in 56, and we reprint here an article from the Fort Wayne News-SentinApril 4, 1956. Fort Wayne Area farmers are commendably fighting for what they declare is the preservation of American freedom fundamental and basic rights of American citizens under the United States Constitution. Leading the fight in the federal courts are Ethan Stangland, R.R. 2, Albion, and Max Munk, R.R. 3, Kendallville. Supporting them morally and financially are many other farmers who share their views that it is high time that a last ditch fight be made against destroying encroachments upon their inherent right as American citizens by the dictation of an everbugrowing federal paternalistic reaucracy. ds el, SAVE PAYROLL (Continued from Page 2 Col. 3) tain their right to operate their farms as free American citizens, neither Munk nor Stangland had ever applied for, nor accepted, any ASC payments and controls on their farms. The charge in the suits is failure to sell the "excess wheat to the government NOT selling the wheat without a card, or transporting it off the farm, but for an act that did not go beyond the boundary of the farm an act that was confined solely to the production and consumption of the excess on that farm. -- (Continued from Page THE "PROPOSED 23rd AMENDMENT' would force the sale of the land and facilities of federal cor- that SAVE LOSSES Page 3 er The University disclaimed all responsibility, saying that it had not granted the fellowship.

(D-Ga- tax-exem- . pt freedom-- Fight The area farmers fight is spearheaded against suits brought' by the federal government against Stangland and Munk, charging them with producing more wheat on their farms than the Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation Committee said should be raised on those farms. The suits allege that Sang-lan- g exceeded by 16 acres, and Munk by eight acres, the quotas of wheat which the above committee determined they could raise in 1954, and that their violation consisted of failing to sell the excess to the government at a parity price of $2.50 a bushel. Charge The area fanners charge that the farm crop control act under which the suits purport to be predicated is unconstitutional and deprives them of fundamental rights under the Constitution. No Largess Our sympathies frankly go out to these embattled farmers. In mi era when every encouragement is being given to get citizens to accept all manner' of federal aid to education and almost every- farmthing else, these no wanted ers decided they largess from the federal government, but only the opportunity to work out their own agricultural and economic salvation in the good old traditional American free enterprise manner.

N. GOP... Fined (Continued from Page Judge Luther M. Swykert in Federal Court here Feb. 14, found against Stangland and Munk and fined them $394.24, and $215.04, respectively. March 29 in Federal Court at South Bend, Judge W. Lynn Parkinson found for Walter Bowyer, Miami County farmer, and against the government on a motion for summaiy judgment. The summary , judgment granted the government by Judge Swygert, against Stangland and Munk, in essence denied the defendants a jury trial, which they asked in their answer to the governments complaint (Trial by jury is a basic right guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.) Like Stangland and Munk, Bowyer contended none of his wheat got into interstate commerce, that much of it has been fed to his own stock and that the rest is still on the farm. If the government appeals, Bowyer will demarn a jury trial. 1 Col. 4) The Republican state committeeman for Rich township, Hayes Robertson, had this comment concerning the GOP resolution: The New Deal and the welfare state belong to the Democrat party. The duty of the Republican party is to represent that great mass of people who do not subscribe to that philosophy whether they total 47 per cent or 55 per cent of the voters at any particular time. rL Foreign Aid...

And copper is an important source of tax revenue the industrys assessed property valuation is 20 of Utahs total.
