The Slope Bankers association wili | 8 h hold a special meeting of the Mandan ae Commercial club rooms on Tuesday, | i : 5 Nov. 23, at 2 p. m,, it was announced An invitation to all bankers and treasurers of public funds in the state of North Dakota to-be present is expected. ' The purpose of the meeting is to} discuss measures t6 provide transfe ot funds in accordance with the in- itiated law dealing with public funds. | the idea being to provide means for | such transfers without causing i necessary hardships on any ba institution in the state,” t nouncement of Wm. J. Ric of the association. “The initiated law permitting the | withdrawal of county, school and } other public funds, except state funds, | from the Bank of North Dakota wi not_ materially affect conditions | in ‘the state if common /sense is used in making the transi-/ tion,” aid a local banker to-! day,y discussing the situation. | “The money will remain the | a If the local treasurers with- their funds from the Bank of | orth Dakota, and the bank with- uws the money from other banks, the money still will be here, but the distribution will be somewhat chang- | ed.” The initiated law will be offective | on Dec. 2, if the state canvassing | , board completes the canvass of the vote by~that time, which it is ex- pected it will do. The withdrawal of funds probably will amount to little for months, according to ‘the tenor} of opinions of the local treasurers. | The treasurers of funds in Burleigh county do not expect to withdraw what funds they have on deposit in | ank of North Dakota, except | { 2 an- secretary in No Step Taken | Thus far no organized step has been | , taken by the Bank of North Dakota ox any other ofganization to accoim- plish this action gradually. The only ; action taken by the bank is the send- ing of a letter to banks having re- deposits to he ready to honor checks piter Dec. 2. There has been no disposition on the part of any local treasurers to embarass the Bank of North Dakota by heavy withdrawals immediately after December 2;,according to those “who have talked with any of them. A | number do not expect to disturb their | balance in the Bank of North Dakota ; at all, but to pay it out ag the bills of the county, city or school district re- quire, and then deposit new collec- tions in home banks. Deposits at Low Ebb | The public deposits in the Bank of North Dakota Jare now said to be at | their lowest ebb! Perhaps a no more | opportune time for the law becoming: effective could be found. The pub deposits are estimated at $10,000.000. They have been as high as $20,000,000. The total deposits in state banks | alone in North Dakota is $261,009,000. | It is ysointed out, therefore, that the withdrawal of $10,000,000 should cause cmbarassment only in isolated cases, where the banks had loaned money for lengthy pericds or the banks have far more than a fair al- | lotment trom the public funds from | the’ Bank of North Dakota. ° { Facts to Come Out “If fhe Bank of North Dakota has | made @unwis eposits ;of public moneys; it has favored banitg with | deposits that they ave not entitled to ye-transfer of the funds take place, said a Fargo banker. “Responsibility for the situation is | entirely up to the Bank of North D: kota. We should never have had t bank in the first place, and if the ad- | ministration had been willing to hear | us two years ago, when this matter | was taken up by the legislature, the state would not have been obliged to | face the situation that now exists,” | continued the banker. According to information in Far- | .go, the Bank of North Dakota has on deposit at this time ap- proximately $11.500,000. About $5,500 000 of this money belongs in the Red | river valley di nd the Bank of North Dakota ha deposited in this district about $4,000,000. About $3,000,000 was obtained by the Bank | of North Dakota from the Second con- sional district counties and the deposits in that district are about 600,00. YThe Third congressional | rict has public funds of about | $3,000,000. while the re-deposits from | the Bank of North Dakota are about | $3,900,000, which eventually will come back to this territory. The bankers in the territory, however, are ad ing the county and city officia’ charged with the deposit of public funds to make no hasty withdrawals from the Bank of North Dakota be- ca the banks in this region are. as a rule, in good condition.

From these replies the commission- er concludes that the cost: of produ i in the state during 1918 2.18 per bushel and in 1919, ave .76 per bushel. He con- cludes that the Idss per bushel to the farmer was $.15 in 1919 and $1.35, in 1919. “The question naturally occurs ‘to those who have not given these mat- ters more than cursory consideration ~-how does it come that many of the wheat farmers of North Dakota appear | to be making money and are buying their additional land, improving farms, buying automobiles, etc.? The answer to the question is that these farmers are not succeeding by reason of their wheat crop, except in those jsolated instances where they have been fortunate enough to raise a crop each year far in excess of the state average, They have succeeded pe haps because they have been shrewd enough to perceive tHat there was no) real money in wheat raising and have {| engaged in dairying, hog, horse or beet cattle industries, making small grain farming only a fair proportion of the farm schedule.” F Suggesting a remedy the commis- sioner advises farmers “to cease oper- ein ating unprofitable industry. enga more diversified farming activiti practice better cultural methods keep books on your daily and yearling business so that you may know when you are operating at a 1 sn Land tenancy, he dec creasing even in North Dakota. is in- GRAINS FALL Chicago, Nov. 19.—AN defiiveries of corn, wheat and oats fell to the lowest prices yet this General free selling which down values was based largely the fact that the t big 1920 corn crop was due.

Judge Amidon sustained the de- murrer of the attorn for the water company to the petition filed by th y of Bismare The case a argued yesterday afternoon and this morning in Fargo. Andrew Miller and L. A. Simpson appeared for the water company. and ©. L. Young, H. Fy 0’ Hare and Audrey Lawerence for the city. A formal ruling is expected to fol- | low the verbal decision of Judge Ami- \ don, reached at the conclusion of the argument. The judge held that there was no state law by which a water |!company could be obtained by con- jdemnation by a municipality. The case w iled originally in the Jurleigh district court, but was re- }moved to the United States distriet ‘court by the water company, as a for- | eign corporation, being incorporated junder the laws of West Virginia. An- other case in which, the city seeks ‘to cancel the franchise also was re- jmoved to and is pending in federal court. ’ The decision of Judge Amidon is held to mean that if the city acquires the plant it must be by purchase of the owners of the company. Young’s Stai nt C. L. Young, special counsel for ithe city, who made one of the argu- {ments in the condemnation suit for the city in United States court at Far- go yesterday says: The city attorney and | advised the city. commissioners before the condemnation suit was {commenced that it was very doubtful if the city: had authority to condemn the company’s property under existing ‘statutes. In fact our’ judgment was against this power. In ofder to set t rest all doubt about the matter the | suit was began under the direction of |che city commissioners.. The court's decision makes it .impossible to ac- {quire the company's property in this way until furtHer authority may be granted ‘by the legislature. We, of course, had to take the statute as jwe found it and the court has held that it does not, give to the city au- thority to condemn property of the company.” 4 Mayor Speaks Mayor Lucas, on learning of the decision, said: arr not wholly unprepated for” this bit of news. The city attorney land C. L. Young, special counsel, ad- vised the city commissionets before the suit to condemn was started that in their judgment it was very doubtfut if the action could be successfully maintained. We directed the bring- Jing of the suit so we might know ‘the city’s’ powers. This apparently leaves open t& us one of the follow- ing courses: the city may proceed to build its own plant, without refer- ence to the plant owned by the water company, or purchase same, or au- thority will have to be procured from ‘the legislature to condemn the proper- of the company before we can pro- eed with the condemnation suit. It one of these courses is not followed, the private ownership of the water system will have to continue under the regulation of the railroad commis- | sion.” ‘HELPS JAILED MAN: WIFE IS NO BAR T0 AID \Edith Wahl Held in Superior, | Wisconsin, for Helping | | { Prisoner Superior, Wi) Nov. 19.—Edith Wahl, 24, was jailed in Superior last ) night on a charge of aiding a prisoner in an attempt to escape.
