ESTABLISHED 1873 TEN MILLION BOND ISSUE PROPOSED A eee WOULD CHANGE BANKING BILLS ~ TN COMMITTEE ‘Senator Ingerson Suggests Amendments Designed to Improve Them, He Says BANKS MAKES TALK Grand Forks Man Urges Leg- islators to Consider Pro- position Carefully Changes in two Senate banking hills by Senator Ralph Ingerson, au- thor, were proposed in a meeting of the banks and banking comimittee cf the Senate this morning. The chan ges applied to two bills which have become the object of popula: inter- est, and on which public, attention was invited by the North Dakota bunkers situation. Chairman Ingerson offered amend- ments with a view of meeting cb- jections and relieving the bills of what had been called by some dras- tic features, he explained A Changes Propose Changes proposed included: Senate bill No. 73, designed to protect ‘stockholders’ double liabil- ity. Would provide that ¢ might be made at the rate of five percent a year,-until full value of stock was placed in escrow ith (State treasurer in approved ties; would provide $500 cert of deposit in Bank of North night be part of approved secvri- ties; would provide that would be- come effective when banks venew charters instead of immediately. Senate Bill No. 71, designed to yestriet borrowing power of banks to safe margin, according to the bili’s uthor, would be amended to pro: vide that collateral for loans could be put up at the rate of one and a half to one instead of one and one- quarter to one, as provided in the bill. The borrowing power would be raised from 30 percent of the capital stock and surplus to 40 percent, and this amount could be exceeded in emergency without first obtaining consent of the state banking depart- ment, but must..be reported later. The committee did not act on the amendments. Banzs Appears George A. Bangs of Grand Forks addressed the committee at length, opposing some: provisions of — the measures. Mr. Bangs said that seasonal de- mands on banks for money, made by formers at the time of planting and harvesting of the crop, are the most \mportant fluctuation in conditions in the banking business in North Dakota. He suggested that care should he exercised so the banks would not be restricted in borrowing woney from outside agencies to ssameet these emergencies, otherwise "the farmers and business generally would be affected. He suggested that the committee might better limit borrowing oni the basis of de- posits rather than capital and sur- plus. He said that while two banks might have the same capital, their deposits might differ, and it would be natural that the one with the lar- er deposits would need a greater amount of money to meet seasonal demands, He also cautioned against limita- tion of borrowing power at certain times. He pointed to dry years of 1910 and 1911 when, he said, it was necessary for banks to botrow money to tide the farmers over. If the hanks had not done so, they would have lost everything, because the farmers couldn’t pay the loans they had made, and the farmers would have lost. As it was both were car- ried along, he said. He pointed to this as a matter of business to be considered in North Dakota.

Regular budget. appropriation bill for them are pending in the House Committee. | A bill providing for the repeal of maintain law establishing and at Grand, Forks, Fargo,| Minot and Mandan today was in House committee, having been intro- duced by Rep. Oberg of McLean; county. The bill, House Bill No. 122, would repeal the present law, | and is-part of a move against mak- ing appropriations for these fairs. | Another recommendation of Gover- nor Sorlie is embraced in a bill placed | before the House. House bill No. 121, by Hoople and Thatcher, pro-] vides for apppintment of an efficien- cy expert by the Governor, to make a survey of state departments, with a view of recommending measures for economy. The expert would be paid $400 a month and $25,000 is ap- propriated for his’ salary and expen- ses, in the measure. A law formerly much discussed was brought into play when Rep. 0. C. Martin introduced a measure by request, which would reduce the law- years’ annual license fee from $15 to $6. The appropriations committee is sponsoring a bill making a change in the method of conducting , the Pure: Seed Laboratory, at the Agri- cultural College. The bill provides that any person, prepaying transpor- tation, may. send sample seed to the State Seed Commissioner and receive a report en the analysis of it. Any farmer desiring an examination of growing ctops, with a view to having the ‘field ‘ligted as “certified seed” may do. so by paying expenses of the examination. 2 Under the present law, this ser- ice is. given free to farmers, Chair- man .Vogel of .the appropriations committee said the proposal of the committee was to make the Pure Seed Laboratory self-sustal ‘ing. While an appropriation is provided, REFERENDUM ONWAR FAILS 10 WIN VOTES North Dakota State Senate Refuses to Pass Senator Hjelmstad’s Resolution REGISTRATION BILL Senate Passes Bond Measure Designed to Abolish Reg- Jstratiqn with Assessor The North Dakota senate late yes- terday refused to Senator Hjelmstad's resolution addressed to President Coolidge demanding that uture declaration of war except in of invasion should be preceded a ‘popular referendum, and also at fortunes in excess of $500,000 should be conscripted to pay war ex- penses before any bonds are sold for that purpose. The vote followed party lines, all senators voting pass by of the Nonpartisan against the resolution which came before the senate on a divided re- port of the committee-on federal re- lations. Senator D. H. Hamilton, a veteran of the 5 ish-American war de- fended the resolution, and urged that mothers should be given a chance to vote before their sons are sent to war, except in cases of act- al invasion. “If we had waited for actual in- yasion we would have had to fight ‘the last war without allies,” replied t enator Pathman, Independent o: Sioux. county. Furthermore when it comes to a question of national hon- or I am opposed to arbitration or anything of that sort. On a roll call vote the resolution was indefinitely postponed. Banking Bill Senator Ralph Ingerson of . Burke county made a strong fight on the floor of thee senate today to get eight percent reinstated as the max- imum interest rate on loans in Sen- ate Bill No, 2. Nine percent was set as the maximum by the Independ- ent majority assisted by several Non- partisans when the bill was report- ed in from committee Wednesday. The Burke county senator offered two amendments: Under one 9 per- cent would have been the maximum until July 1, 1926 when the max- imum would be dropped to eight per- cent. This would give time for the change to be made without hardship Senator Ingerson urged.

Soviet ‘Russia took up a little time of the North Dakota House of Representatives late yesterday. After brief discussion, the House adopted the report of the commit- tee on Federal Relations and killed the resolution offered by Rep. Miller of Williston, themorializing _ the President and Congress to recognize Soviet Russia. 1 Rep. Miller said that Russia offer- ed a trade outlet for the United States, adding that “we have fac- tories shut down and great bread lines in this country.”. Rep. H. F. Swett of Kidder. county also supported Miller’s stand. Rep. D, L. Peters, Pierce county, opposed the measure. “Why should this country recog-; nize a government that has repudi- ated its debts?” asked Rep.

The resolution calls for a special election on the amendment to bg held May-5, 1925, The chief p: sions of the con- stitutional amendment called for in Senator Babcock’s resolution are as follows: “In addition to all other indebted- ; Ness heretofore or hereafter auth- jorized the state may contract debts {not to exceed ten million dollars, and | may issue and sell its bonds in that |4mount for the purpose of providing | funds to reimburse depositors in | state banks which have been adjudg- | ed insolvent prior to the first day of , May 1925 and subsequent to the first Iday of July, 1921, The bonds are to run for 30 years ‘and bear interest at 5 per cent.
