1% TUESDAY, OCTOBER, 24, 1922 CRAWFORD IN SPEECH TELLS OF BANK OFN.D. Secretary of Industrial Com-| mission Addresses Audi- ience at Regan NO REAL BANK, HE SAYS| Among other things Lewis F. Craw- ford, secretary of the Industrial Commission, in his speech at Regan last evening said concerning -the Bank of North Dakota, the central frame work of the Nonpartisan | League Industrial’ Program, that it is not a bank, and was not intended | to be a bank in the general accept: | ance of the term; it was’ really in-! tended as a broom to sweep up the public deposits of the state. Under authority of law it reached out and swept up the funds of organized | townships, cities, villages and school | districts from every corner of the state and, not being satisfied with | these, it swept in the state funds as | well. The treasurers of _the above! political bodies are the custodians of funds placed in their keeping and are under heavy, bonds to protect said funds for the public. No treas- urer is permitted to spend a dollar except for proper purposes, and upon warrants issued according to law. If a treasurer uses the funds oth- erwise he is guilty of embezzlement, | but this sweeping in of the public funds was only, preliminary. The Bank of Nérth Dakota Act gave the Industrial Commission. License to handle this public money so asseni- bled in a way that would have ben a felony but for this law. In other words, the law compelled the public depositd to be placed in the Bank of North Dakota upon penalty of fincs and imprisonment, and when so as- sembled such funds could be used by the Industrial Commission, ac- cording to its sweet will, in making loans to institutions, utilities or en- terprises, now established or her2- after to be established, without any restrictions whatever. Before and during the recall cam- | paign, and in its monthly ‘published | bulletins, the bank informed the pub- lic that it was making great profits. Many of those on the outside had grave suspicions that the profits were not as great as reported, yét not having access to the books we could not well question the state- ments made. The bank bulletin is- sued November 16th, 1921, shortly before the former commission went out of office, showed a surplus of $40,000 net profits of $155,783.72, and interest paid in advance on bank bonds, for the year 1922, of $100,- 000.00. In other words, the profits reflected by this statement are al- most $300,000, The Bishop-Brissman Company made their cut-off Decem- ber 12th, while the former bank of- ficials were still in full charge, and | their statement reflects not a gain of almost $300,000, but a net, loss of | $150,475.64, and this loss too was; made without charging off a single piece of bad paper. The Industrial Commisston either knew the bank was making a loss or they didn’t know it. If they didn't know it, they were guilty of slack management of the bank’s affairs, and if they did know it they were guilty of. grossly deceiving the pub- lie by not making known the fact. The members of the Industrial Com- mission are busy with a great many | duties, and it might be argued that they believed the bank was making a profit. Mr. Cathro, the manager of the bank, on the 8th of March | 1921, just three days after the leg-j istature adjourned, in a report to the Industrial €ommission, said: “that we must have some reserve to off- set unforeseen losses, as for exam- ple the bank at the present time ‘s operating at a daily loss. Our inter- est receivable is not equal to our interest payable, plus expense at this time. To justify our existence we must show and maintain a profit.” Mr. Cathro, in making this state- ment, did so with the full facts of the case in his possession, there- fcre the members of the Industrial Commission knew that the bank was making a daily Joss, yet in the face | of this report, made by the Manager of the bank, the members of the In-| dustrial Commission continued dur- ing the whole campaign of 1921 to ) QUEER FEELINGS — 1° AT MIDDLE AGE: Women Should Know How Lydia E.
