The consolidation bill itself or- dinarily would not be considered an important matter of legislative poli since national banks are permitted to consolidate under regu‘ation of the Comptroller of | the Treasury, and practically all states in the union have statues under which the consolidation of | banks and other corporations is | permitted. As explained by Mr, Divet, however, consolidations a: only made cf any corporations by ry authority, and no authority’ for bank con- solidations in North Dakota. The bill would provide that two- thirds of the stockholders of both institutions must approve of a consolidation, that the merged in- stitution must have at least. two- thirds of the capital stock of the two merged and would, Mr. Divet declared, provide every protection for stockholders, depositors and the public. He estimated it would take two and one-half to three months to complete the steps necess: to effect a consolidation.

'THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE LIMITATION LAW DRAWN FOR SOLON Tax - Commissioners Office Tries to Eliminate Difficul- ties in Present, Laws IT, PROVIDES } WHAT L, A. Baker, deputy tax ‘commis- sioner has tried to solve the problem of a fair tax limitation law in a bill he has drawn and which will be in- troduced at the present session of the legislature. If passed this law will invalidate about 70° limitation laws now on the statute books, which provide limitations on taxes for all the different purposes for which the people might be taxed. It would also invalidate the more recent law which holds down county township, village and city to 1-3 of the total 1918-19-20’ tax and which limits school districts to the same plus 30 percent. The proposed bill works in two whys. It limits the amount of mills per dotlar that any kind of taxing | diggrict’ in the state may lavy and it also limits the aggregate amount to be levied in 1928 to 5 percent more | than the 1922 levy with a 8 percent yearly” increase allowed after that, exclusive of interest and sinking fund levies, The mill limitation will effect only 20 percent of the taxing districts according to Mr. Baker. The limit on the aggregate tax will operate in a different class of districts, The proposed legislation does not affect the tax that may be levied for any one purpose but merely the total to be levied in any district, thus making for a more flexible arrange- ment. The old limitation law provided for expenditure 25 percent in ex- cess of the amount permitted by the law in case such excess levy was sanctioned by the voters. This made for greater extravagance in districts where much money had already ‘been spent and for too limited levies’ in districts wheer little money had been spent before, according to Mr. Baker. The old limitation laws, too, were based on assessment of 25 percent of the value of property while as- sessments are now made on a 100 or a 50 percent valuation, according to the class of the property. The mill limitations of the taxing districts gre with certain exeeptions as follows: City, town or village— not more than 12 mills to the dollar; Townships—4 mills; school districts =-12 -mills, with 2 .years: standard high school 14 mills, with 4. year high school 16-mills' and if with night school-in addition, 18 mills, “park districts—2 mills. Counties with assessed property valuation of $6,000,00 are permitted —-with certain exceptions—to “levy only 8 mills:to@ the dollar: with a: de- creasing scale as the assessable value erows: larger until a county which has $40,000,000 assessable property mew levy only 4.5 mills to the dollar. The bill provides that any county auditor who violates its provisions shall be considered guilty of a mis- demeanor and punished accordingly as well as losing his office. iv DEFENDANTS ARE VICTORS IN NOTE SUIT Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. 17.— Claim that the note for $7,500 sold to a Chicago bank which they had to pay, was simply an “ac- commodation note,” and that sig- natures of three others were not obtained on the note as promised, is the basis on which H. O. Har- oldson, C. T, Ulberg, and H. G. Link sought to recover from John LaVallely, receiver for the defunct Peonlé’s State bank of Grand Foxks, amounts which the plain tiffs assert they paid on a note for $7,500 given the People’s bank. Mr, Vallely, receiyer, has been substi- tuted for the Peaple’s bank, at first named as defendant. The plaintiffs assert that on Oct. 15, 1920 they were requested by the People’$ bank to sign. the nete for $7,500 as an accommo! tion, owing to the fact that ai overdraft had ‘been permitted to the Grand Forks American, Non- partisan daily news; ir. also de- funct.

SHERIFFS ASK RETENTION OF ~ ALLOWANCE Hold That Present Mileage Figure Is Not At All Excessive Members of the North Dakota sheriffs association were preparing today to take action voicing strong opposition to proposed legislation be- fore the legislature to reduce their mileage appropriations. The annual meeting of the’ association ends to- night. The present allowance for official travel’ by a sheriff is 10 cents per mile and $2.50 for every 20 miles or fraction thereof: traveled by automo- bile or horse. Three proposed bills before “the legislagure would abolisa this, two providing for only a straight 10 cent a mile allowance and one a 15 cent a mile allowance. The sheriffs yesterday elected Od- in Overby, Grand Forks, president, D. J. Meyers, Bowman county, vice president; and A. C. Slade, Slope county, secretary-treasurer. George F. Shafer, attorney general wave a talk, telling the officials of some of the technicalties of their of- fice, outlining fully where a searca warrant is needed before searching a property for Jiquor. It is necessary unless the shériff has seen the quor and knows it is there. He told of one official near the border who stopped caurch-goers with a machine gun on suspicion, \ Mr. Shafer also émphasized the need for great care in performing the duties of the office and showed how willful neglect or even negli- gence might result jn heavy «nes and imprisonment as Well as loss of office, Regarding tae’ proposal to lower the mileage allowance the sheriffs pointed out that the: present allo ance amounts to only 22 1-2 cents a mile and that automobile hire, ‘as they said, amounts to 25 cents in -|‘the summer and 30 cents in tae win- ter. They expressed the belief tha such legislation would bring a cheaper class of men into the offices YHroughout the state — men who. wauld make up the mileage loss by accbpting “side money.” Ww. ‘R McClelland, superi@gendent of the state tr: ing school at Mai dan and digtriet Judge H.

With a little better than one per cent of the land area of North Dakota, the. couwty has-approximate- ly seven and a -haJf percent of the sheep, he says. Last year there were 11,880 sheep in Pembina county, according to figures compiled by the state com: missioner of agriculture. This w: more than 2,000 more than Pembina’s nearest rival, Kidder county. Mr. Felson further says Pembina county has averaged better than 14,- ‘000 head of sheep for the past-ten years.
