The selection of Charles Evans Hughes, as pre-_ mier;-indicates the end of the “do nothing” pol- icy followed in our state department since the close of the war.. There will be no further va- .; Cation. Hughes’ ability as & statesman ranks ' with that of, the late Jolin Hay and other illus- ; | trious secretaries of state who played such an important part in shaping the foreign ‘policies of the Republic. Other appqitttwments meet with general ap- proval as the Calibre of men named guarantees an aggressive policy and the application of sound business principles. The inauguration should dispel much of the gloom that has settled over the nation because of the loss of confidence in the Wilson adminis- tration. Business in general must have some relief from the ruinous taxation and the med- ,, ling :supervision. . President-elect Harding promises a resumption of the policies that have , made for national prosperity of all the people. j MAKE HASTE SLOWLY Wise advice is\given the state by the Fargo Forum relative to haste in forcing a recall im-h, mediately to favor a group of politicians who | desire revenge more than they care for the wel- fare of the state. _Under the law recently initiated; political sub- ' divisions can deposit their money in local banks. Failure of the state to sell any bonds for the furtheratice of their socialistic enterprises means a suspension of the industrial program. In the meantime, the Independents have the choice of two lines of action: “They can go to the people on a recall that comple ely renounces state socialism and promises au ‘honest house cleaning. If too many of them are not courage- ous enough to serap the whole business they can initiate one bill providing, that the state treasur- er be designated as’ Industrial commissioner to’ liquidate the industrial scheme and provide. the proper guaranty so that investors can return to North Dakota with some reasonable dégree*of safety. : Y From présent indications, however, there is a} reluctance to take the straight and narrow path of sound finapce..

Liggett, a representative of the! Non-Partisan League in New York, admits that the officials of the Bank of North Dakota have} made mistakes and laid themselves open to cen-} sure, but he repeats the old illusion about thé, source of that institution's troubles. It is not. wildcat’ banking and State socialist business en-| terprises that are to blame, but “Wall Street has sent out word that the credit, of North Dakota omnipresent engine of iniquity, “Wall Street?” It is the thrift and savings of millions of Ameri- The bankers who have refused to try to sell the: no confidence in it.

On time deposits for Jess than a year it will pay it will pay 544. While rates of interest are high- er there than here, no bank can pay such rates and prosper. After a long-period of unsound banking in one direction, the Bank of{@orth Dakota starts on unsound banking in another direction. Its last monthly statement shows that its funds have been shrinking rapidly, and that the State officials were either disingenuous | or misinformed. when they asserted that its dis- asters were caused by other banks that wouldn’t pay their debts to it. Mr. Liggett says that he has been told by a banker “in strict confidence” that there is an orgaiized boycott of the bonds by bankers and | bond houses, and that consequently the bonds) are to be offered directly to the people.’ They have been so offered for some time.
