ESTABLISH ED 1873 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE (om) BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1925 PRICE FIVE CENTS ~ACCUSE SENATOR IN RUM SCANDAL BANK MERGERS SEEN IN STATE BY OFFICIALS One of everel Likely sorptions to Cut Number of Banks Reported INTEREST RATE CUT Commission Lowers Maximum Banks May Pay in LaMoure McIntosh, Logan Counties The merger of several banks in the state and petitions to the De- positors Guaranty Fund Commis: to lower the maximum interest rate which banks may in several counties are among the outstanding developments in the improvement of banking conditions in the state, ac- cording to information from the state banking department today. Tne absorption by the Citizens State Bank of Enderlin, Ransom county, of the First State Bank of Lucca, Barnes county, the first of several mergers expected, Gilbert Semingson, state examiner said, move comes through recom- meQdation of the banking depart- ment and is in line with the policy of reduction of the number of banks in the state, where practicable, in order that the institutions may be- come stronger and be better able to serve their communities,” Mr. Semi- eae suid. “There are several more cohsolidations likely to materialize in the near future * The Citizens State Bank of Ender- lin, which takes over the assets and liabilities of the First State Bank of Lucea, an open bank, and the latter bank, both are contzolled by the es- tate of the late Harold Thorson of St. Paul. H. Ingwaldson of Fessen- den is president of both institutions. He is one of the executors of the Thorson estate. Lu’ a is but seven miles from En- derlin, both being on the Soo line. People of Lucca may do _ business with the Enderlin bank without dif- ficulty, Mr. Semingson. Lower Interest Rate The Depositors Guaranty Fund Commission, in session here, an- nounced that on petition from hanks, it had reduced the maximum interest rate banks may pay in Logah, Me- Intosh and LaMoure counties to five percent. The Commission his been informed that within the next few days a.large number of petitions will be received asking for a reduction of the maximuia interest rate which banks may pay in other counties: The petitions are held the direct result of vastly improved banking «onditions. Under the law, it was pointed out, the state banks under the guaranty fund may pay four percent interest or more to depositors, the Guaranty Fund is given power to prohibit them from paying more than 6 per- cknt, the present maximum, but can- not order them to pay a lower rate than-4 percent. When the Guaranty Fund changes the rate it must be made uniform in an entire county. Petitions were received for a re- duction of the maximum __ interest rate in the three counties—LaMoure, McIntosh and Logan—-and the result- ant decision of the commission to place the maximum rate at 5 per- cent in these counties announced. Similar action on petitions from many other counties is expected. Paying Dividend The Depositors Guaranty Fund Commission is continuing the work of distributing the 10 percent pay- ment it ordered to depositors of banks closing before July 1, 1923. The immense amount of detail work has made the’ distribution very slow, C. B. McMillan, of the com- missio id today. Dividends have been distributed thus far to depos- itors of 15 banks, and this week dividend checks will go to depositors of the First Security of Carpio, Bank of New Rockford, and State Bank of Milton. It probably will require two months to complete pay- ment of the dividend. N. D.

Senator Patterson offered a mo- tion for appointment of a com- mittee to investigate, but the amendment of Representative Twichell providing the chairmen should receive complaints pre- vailed. Miss Henrietta Lund and a former employe named~ Pht- tick appeared before the com- mittee. General conditions at the State Hospital’ forthe Insane at James- town are déglared satisfactory some recommendations are made for improvement. of conditions, by Miss Henrietta J. Lund. director of the | Children’s Bureau of the State Board | of Administration, in a recent report | made to the Board of Administra- | tion and Governor Nestos, upon whose order she made an investiga; tion of various penal and charitable institutions. The report, which has been. in the hands of the board for| sometime, was made public today, | as a result of public discussion of conditions at the ‘hospital. One of the chief complaints made by Miss Lund is with regard to over- crowded conditions in the dining | room, & condition which moved the State Budget Board to recommend an appropriation for enlargement of | dining. rooms. Provision for more Social Service work, providing a link between phy- sician and patient, also is suggested by Miss. Lund, Much of the work at the hospital is given. praise by Miss Lund, who mentions no evidence of brutality to- ward patients in her reports, and gives praise fon the ‘apparent good treatment of patients. Difficulty of Report “It is difficult for an outsider give un opinion of the condition patients due to the very nature the ailment,” says Miss Lund, in concluding her report. “Employes with whom I came into personal con- tact gave indication of having the interests of their wards. at heart. When I came into a ward unawares I ‘observed the attendants going about among the patients in a friendly way.’ There were five or six patients in restraint at the.time of my ,visit. -Several were locked up in ‘Separate rqoms, but to my knowledge no straight jackets were in use at the time. I looked into the dark rooms, of which there are sev- eral, but according to the state- ments of employes these are seldom utilized, The patients who become uncontrollable are ‘sent to the De- partment of Hydrotherapy. I have net chanced to arrive at any time when a violent patient peeded res- traint.” Miss Lund’s report was based up- on. visits made at various times dur- ing the summer and fall, she said. Hospital attendants offer a prob- lem, Miss Lund’ said. “As to personnel,” she said in her report, “the work of the attendant at best is a disagreeable one, and it is often a. problem to secure high grade service.

At that time it jwas claimed by several members, |that the appropriation in question |was unconstitutional and under that |impression several voted to kill the ibill. This view was found ‘to be in ierror, and the motion to reconsider resulted. | Mr. Vogel declared that he not opposed to the bill on the ground of its constitutionality, but because he regarded the work of the poultry association as of no value to the state. In reply Mr. Twichell cited the growth of the poultry indugtry in North Dakota and the steadily in- creasing revenue for the farmers from that source. “I cannot see how anyone who claims to be a friend of the. farmers can airge that this ap- propriation be killed,” said Mr. Twi- chell. The vote was finally recon- sidered without a roll call and re- referred to the committee on agri- culture. The house passed two bills both of which repealed standing appropri- ations one of $300 for the education- al library fund, and the other of $7,800 for the library commission.
