Dakota— | Gentlemen: Reports have come to} the bank examiner that certain banks; in this state have taken it upon them-} selves to refuse to pay checks made payable to different individuals, asso-} ciations or corporations, drawn by; men having money upon deposit, upon the ostensible plea that the checks; were obtained by means of misrepre-! sentation, fraud or other illegal} means. i Affidavits have been filed by some} of the payees of these checks and by; the drawers of the checks even though ; the drawer of the check had thou-} sands of dollars in the bank, that the | j cashier of the bank has, without any instructions from the drawer, refused j payment of the checks, which in many | cases were for small amounts, evi-| dently upon the theory that the bank-: er was the guardian of the drawer of the check and that the drawer of the! check did not know what he was) doing when he signed the same. You are hereby notified that here- ‘after such conduct on the part of any} cashier or other officer of any ban will not be tolerated by this depar ment. This department believes that the farmers and others of this state} know what they are doing when they draw checks. | The refusal on the part of any of-! ficer of any bank in this state to pay such checks is a-violation, gf the state banking laws andj gh¢ ppmé {will be enforced. , sett, 3 In order: that theté-ndybe/no mis- understanding about, this matter I wish to state that chebks payable to the Nonpartisan league or any organ- izer thereof constitutes some of the, instances of this kind. H Affidavits which have been ‘filed will | be held in abeyance and the future | conduct of’! each bank carefully scanned. Very truly yours, i J. R. WATERS, State Examiner.
