A “Second, to fix in the minds of our. citizens the exact. purpose and scope of the bank's activities, “Third, to establish the plan for op- eration along the lines of safe eco- nomic and banking principles. “Therefore. the policy of the Bank of North Dakota is to be established essentially along the following lines: “1, To promote agriculture, com merce and industry. “2, To be helpful and to assist. in, the development of state and national banks and other financial institutions and public corporations within the state, and not,:in any manner, to de- stroy or to be harmful to existing financial institutions. “3,.'To deposit. in the state, as far as is consistent with the operation of the bank, such funds as are at present employed in the carrying on of farm- ing operations. and business enterprises throughout, the’ state, to the end that Joans need not be called in, in order to make a compliance with the transfer- ring of funds to the Bank of North Da- kota, thereby effecting the working of any immediate hardship upon any lo- cality or counties, “4, To establish interest rates. “5, To base credit financial respon- sihility and integrity, irrespective of party affiliations, to ignore polities and to ‘recognize merit, “6. To mobilize the assets of the whole state and its entire financial! worth into one large central bank. co- operating with all the banks in the state, both state and national, and all the public financial activities of the state and its individuals, thereby en- larging its power and opportunity for the development of the whole state. “7, To become a_ state clearing house. “8.
