POLICEMEN ~ ARE INCLUDED Judge Rules on Workmen's Compensation Status Minot, D., Aur. 8—A memoran- dum opinion on the workmen’s com pensation*law of North Dakota has just been made by Judge George H. Moellring in the case of Wanie S. Fahler as administratrix of the es- a of Leo §S. Fahler, deceased, i rier the City of Minot, in which the plaintiff asks $15,000 damages for ‘the: death of her husband who was killed: by Avery Erickson, an alleged ‘ whiskey runner, while Fahler was en- gaged in the performance of Mis duty as a policeman for the City of Minot. Judge Moellring overrules the de- murrer of the defense and gives ‘leave to the defendant to answer the complaint within 25 days after serv- jee of the order upon, the defendant's | attorneys. The city demurred on the grounds that policemen are not cov- ered by the act. Counsel for the defense in oral ar- guments and in briefs, presented but the question: “does the term ‘em- ploye’ as used in the act, comprehend ‘policemen and their dependents as : beneficiaries under the law.” This is said to be the first time that the technicalities of the law have ever been attacked in North Dakota. TEXAS HAS MORE BANK FAILURES THAN NO./DAKOTA Washington, April 8.—During the calendar year 1921, 528 state and pri- vate banks in the country were closed. accgrding to a statement issued to- day” by Comptroller of the Currency Crissinger, summarizing bank’ fail- ures for the year. However he added 163 of these..banks were able to re- open or otherwise liquidate their lia- bilities. The gouthern geographical division Mr. Crissinger declared, was the most. seriously atfected in respect to the number of bank failures and the volume of liabilities, there being 131 failures with liabilities totalling $27,000,000 in that section. ‘Failures in states in, which the de- positors guaranty ‘systém, is in oper- wtion, re: Mississippi exas 36; North Dakota 34; Nebraska 22; Kan- sas 11; Oklahomo 22; Washington 11. The calendar year 1921, Mr. Cris- singer said,;was the third most dis- astr6us year with respect to the number of failures of national banks in the history of the national bank- ing system, there being 37 such fail- ures, with liabilities of $23,677,367. The most disastrous year in_ this respect was 1893 when 65 failures occurred: ands the next was 1897 when there were 38 failures. DISCUSS WORK ON FORKS MILL Work which now is progressing on the Grand Forks mill and elevator project was discussed by H. G. Lyken, of the C). L. Pillsbury Co., engineers, and members of the Industrial Com- mission here. A steady progression of the work is expected. It was said that the Feagles Con- struction Co. had been instructed. to |~ rush work on’the mill building, with a view of getting it under roof so that machinery, some of which is said to be on the way, can be _ installed. Work on the elevator, power plant and other units is to proceed as fast as possible. Arrangements also nave been made for increasing the track- age, it was ‘said. ALDERMEN FOR LINTON NAMED Linton, N.

Some odd bills have cropped up in the state legislaiive sessions now drawing to a close. For example there is the bill intro- duced in the New York state assembly making hypocrisy - a misdemeanor and defining a it as “the act of a person who for pay, gift or other val- uable thing publicly advocates and supports any legislative measure re- straining free exercise of personal liberty or the act of any person who solicits funds for such support.” The measure is aimed at “reform” organization workers. The Massachusetts legislature had before it in this year’s session a Dill making church-going compulsory for every resident of the state who was paysically or mentally capable of at- tending church. ‘Another measure proposed in Mas- sachusetts provided that every, candi- date for public office must'be exam- ined by a justice of the superior court to determine whether he is qualified to hold the office to which he aspires. A bill in the Massachusetts legis- lature authorized the appointment of a special legislative committee to make an official Fourth of July visit to the Irish Free State at the ex- pense of itS*members. ‘Some of the unusual legislation proposed is obviously almed at what the authors regard as injustice. Housewives who do not share in|’ joint control of the famiiy income found a champion in Mrs. Margaret Laird, of Newark, N. J., who intro- duced gill. in the New Jersey~legis- lature enabling married women to control the. wages they earn in their own homes. 5 Another New Jersey measure would exempt nurses from jury duty. A third would enable innocent per- sons to collect from the gtate. $1 a de~ for each day of confinement in jail, provided they proved their inno- cence. 7 CANDIDATES ARE INITIATED Seven candidates were initiated in- to the Elks lodge last night. They were: Paul’ Wachter, P. G. Swanish, T. C. Solveson, Wilton;. Sigurd Syv- ertson, Wishek; H. L. Thorndahl; L. E. Wamheim, R. J. Murphy. New officers of the lodge eletted recently took their places, H. T. Mur- phy suceceding P. R. Fields as ex- alted ruler. Plans for another big initiation before June 30 were dis- cussed.’ Th@ Elkq membership in the entire country is nearing the mil- lion mark and the Bismarck lodge is given a quota to fill in the effort to reach this goal before the national convention. ‘Lunch was served. INCIDENTS OF DAKOTA HISTORY ARE REVIEWED W. A. Falconer is in receipt of a letter from Colonel Charles A. Var- num, 7th cavalry, United States army. Colonel Varnum is retired, and i: ing in San Francisco, Cal. lieutenant, Col. Varnum was stationed at Fort Abraham iLncoln in 1873. He was in charge of the Ree Indian Scouts in the campaign of 1876, and went into the battle of the Little Big Horn, with Major Reno’s battallion, and is one of the four officers now alive, Who took part in the Custer battle, Col, Varnum says: “My first visit to Bismarck was in the fall of 1873. I was sent iby General Custer to get the body of Blacksmith Dalton, of L. troop, 7th cavalry, who was killed by Dave Mullen, who was afterwards kill- ed by the soldiers. I crossed in a yawl to the old “Point’ and went up in an ambulance that was sent down from Camp Hancock. I tried to in- vestigate the cause of death, but con- cluded that discretion was the bettt1 part of valor. I got the body down to the boat. The river was running ics, which knocked us about, and twice the coffin went overboard, but we got it ashore at last, and I was about ex: hausted with the effort. Those were days to be remembered. The only roof other than canvas, in town as I remember at that time was J. W. Ray- mond’s store of cottonwood logs, at Main and 4th streets.” Col. Varnum wishes to be remember: ed to all old residents of the early days.

NORTH DAKOTA © Known all over the Northwest for Quality @ MAIL US YOUR FILMS ®, The Functions of a Bank ARTICLE II, James G. Blaine was th iproci yagame ie apostle of reciprocity among In our previous article we pointed out that the relations between a bank and its regular patrons are of an intimate and reciprocal nature. The deposits of a commercial bank are supplied mainly by its regular customers and in the aggregate form a fund of working capital, brought, together with the understanding that each contributor may draw any part or all of his own deposit absolutely at will, and, that he may have the privilege of borrowing from the fund. upen proper terms from time to time to meet his further needs. The banker manages these common funds. He determines their distribution, He re eixes the deposits in the form of a great variety of items of ‘credit, payable in all parts of the world. Hie gathers these funds together and assumes the risks of keeping them and employing them, and under- takes to keep them so readily availablethat he can meet the snine demand of the numerous contributors both for cash and ‘loans, In other words, the first duty of ‘a banker is to keep the funds of a bank sufficiently liquid-to meet all demands for withdrawals. , There nothing of the nature of monopoly about the banking bysiness. It controls no natural resource or op- portunity; its earnings are from current business, its cus- *, tomers are alternately creditors and debtors. A good banker will study the interests of his patrons, for his business will grow with theirs. The idea that bank- ers, as a class, have ‘interests diverse from or.in conflict with the interests of their patrons or the general ‘public is whclly erroneous, and arises from a view of only ‘one. side of their relations with the. public. It comes from. thinking of them only as money-lenders, overlooking the fact that the funds they have to lend, aside from the capital stock and earnings accounts, are placed in their hands by the public, and that the supply and demand for these funds are both increased by general prosperity. For forty years the First National Bank of Bismarck has yendeavored to the best of its ability mote the,, best interests of the city of Bismarck and the syrrounding country, .., TONIGHT : SATURDAY WiGERS R “DOUBLING FOR ROMEO” “THE: LOVE FLOWER.” MONDAY ONLY D.
