i i EDUTY HEA fAPLANS BLL TO AE RCE izing Banks To Loan on Stored Grain i ANDERSON FEELING LEGISLATORS’ PULSE Measure Aimed To Assist Farm- ers’ Elevators of State in Grain Marketing Business A bill, which will authorize banks to loan money on grain stored in local | + farmers’ elevators or bought by local | elevators and still in storage awaiting shipment, to the amount of 75 per cent of the market value, will in all prob- | ability be introduced at this session | of the legislature in the opinion of J. M. Anderson of St. Paul, president of the -Equity Co-operative exchange, who arrived in the city last night. Accompanying the exchange president was C. G. Crites of Lisbon, general manager of Equity. ' ‘The measure is aimed to assist the farmers’ elevator companies of the state in the grain marketing business. The Equity, which is fathering the bill, has had the matter under discus- sion for some time. The mission of the exchange president here is to make arrangements for the introduction of {the’ measuré: and to confer with the ‘different members of the legislature to get their view on the matter before the bill is filed. “It's quite a departure from the present system whereby the banks are limited to loan to any one concern only 15 per cent of their capital and surplus,” stated the Equity president when seen at the Northwest this morning. “The passage of such a bill would remove the present limitation as applied to grain in the farmers’ ele- yators and would place the banks in| a position to finance practically all the local farm-owned elevators in the state.” President J. M. Andergon stated * that the Equity exchange will handle > about fourteen million bushels of the rain,for the year ending July 31 917. He stated that the new half-m lion capacity terminal elevator at St.{ aul is not as yet completed, but that fs running and that grain is being ceived daily. RETIRING BANK CHIEF IN HOSPITAL, RESULT OF SORRY HOMECOMING G. J. Johnson and Mrs. Johnson ,, Have Unpleasant Experience on Return J. Johnson, who retired from the post of state bank examiner January 1, tendered his resignation to Gover- nor Hanna at the Bismrack hospital, where the former bank chief has been confined since the latter part of last week as a result of an unfortunate, home-coming experience. When Mr. and Mrs. Johnson left for Jefferson, Ta., to spend the holidays, they placed | their home here in charge of a care- taker who had always been found com- petent heretofore. The intensely cold weather of last week, however, proved too, much ‘for him, and when the John- sons opened the door to their dwelling upon’ their return last Friday a cloud of steam greeted them. Fighting their . Way through the fog, they found the interior ‘of their home a complete wreck, with a majority of the radia- tors bursted and a 200-pound steam pressure completing the havoc, In their efforts to save something from the general ruin, Mr. and Mrs. , .Johmgan were so exhausted that both contracted severe colds, and the fol- lowang. day,.they went to the hospital, on the verge of pneumonia. The dam- age will amount to several hundred dollars, and the radiating system must be entirely replaced before the resi- dence becomes habitable.

The appointment would have run un- til"March 1, but it became imperative for Mr. Johnson to assume his new @uties the first of the year, and upon galling in his successor, J. R.
