Fifth Ave. Bldg. é (Official City, State and County Newspaper) Handling Ten Million a Day Two former governors of North Dakota have their signatures upon Uncle Sam's currency—John Burke and Frank White. This is brought forcibly to - mind in the January issue %f “National Republic” in which appears an article by Frank White on 1 “Handling Ten Million A Day.” An interesting feature of the article is a repro- duction of some of the signatures of the first and last United States Treasurers, For legibility the +* signatures of Burke and White stand out most prominently, Carmi Thompson, whose signature is reproduced in the group, ‘wrote a very clear hai but many reprinted hardly readable. The following editor's note which precedes the White article will be of Interest to the former gov ernor’s friends in this state: ar This informative article was written by the man who is actually responsible for Uncle Sam’s funds, and whose name appears on all national currency. When Mr. White ‘took the job of Treasurer of the United { States he receipted for over thirteen ‘bil- lion dollars. Most people overlook this im- portant position, being under the impres- sion that the Secretary: of the Treasury handles the government cash. Atthough seventy years old, Mr. White plays golf and tennis, enjoys a baseball or football game, and now and then indulges in the 2 latest dances. He was born in Stillman Val- ley, d1., in 1856, played baseball on the State University team, and graduated from t that institution in 1880. Two years later f he began farming in Dakota Territory, and ‘i continued for many years. He served in e the North Dakota legislature from 1891 to 7 : 1899, and was twice elected governor. In % the Spanish-American War and Philippine § 8 Insurrection he served as a major, and was cited in orders for gallantry in action. I: ‘ Mr. White entered the World War at an 4 age when most men are planning to retire, ; ; and served in France ag a colonel of in- 4 fantry. The article sets forth in a very concise and inter- esting style the duties of a United States treasurer. According to the author, it costs ten million dol- lars daily to run our government and the handling i of the money comes under tie supervision of Frank White. 4What becomes of worn .and mutilated money is Ps) tala in the following excerpt: ' | | e The Redemption Division of the United { States Treasurer's office is charged with cu = the redemption of the unfit and worn-out f United States ‘currency, This currency con- sists of gold certificates, silver, certificates and United States notes. These notes are <grefully examined as to their genuineness, are counted and finally destroyed. This money is destroyed by passing it through a machine called a macerator. This macerator has a chemical in it which takes all the inking out of the paper and also has knives that grind it up into a very : fine pip. This pulp is sold to manufac- "©" turers of paper. A great deal of burnt money and pieces of notes are also received. When three-fifths or more of a bill is re- ceived full value is given; if less than threc- fifths but greater tan two-fifths half val- 2 se ue is given. The ‘burnt money received is in all stages of incineration, from the * smallest recognizable fragment of a burnt ‘bill to whole notes that are merely charred. =<: There must always be enough of a burnt note intact, even though it be burned and charred almost beyond recognition, to iden- tfy it as to kind and denomination. The amount of unfit currency redeemed by this division during the past fiscal year was ~ **$1,178,636,294 or 566,652,692 motes of the sev- eral denominations. Of this vast bulk of money there were 474,766,556 one-dollar ‘bills alone. The average life of a one-dol- lar bill is about nine months. Little World Court Demand President Harding was swept into power large- ly upon the disapproval of the League of Nations issue. Hig suceessor in the White House won vic- ‘tory upon the same position. The propaganda to ~. force this nation into the League either by tue front s@ger or rear entrance fs powerful and well financed. , It hap taken form now in advocacy of the World Court.

The United States can best serve Europe at this juncture of history tby avoidance of hoth the League of Nations and the World Court, Merely a Matter of Routine Discovery of the fact that Governor Sorlie signs extradition papers in blank has put the Fargo pol- iticians in quite a flutter. ‘The Governor has hee! admonished not to repeat what they assert is a seri- ous breach of official duty. ernor in the United States does the same thing. When Gov. Sorlie took office a number of blank ex- tradition forms were found signed by R. A. Nestos, ccord'ng to Secretary Larson. Other governo of the states helonging to different political factions have done the same thing. i, Those who understand the route extradition pa- | pers take know that, except in caso Cf a contest, tho | process is more or less of a routine nature. It is cuscomary to refer the application or requisition for on: charged with a felony to the attorney general ! who usually approves the papers as to form and decides whether the offense charged is subject to extradition. The criticism in the Duis case is mereiy a tempest in a teapot. As soon as the governor's office found out that the extradition was to be contested ‘by, Du's, the sheriff of Grand Forks county was told | not to proceed with the matter. The fact that Gov. Sorlie had signed extradition blanks before leaving the state did not enter into the affair at all. Gov. Sorlie’s office was merely following the usual routine practiced in extradition matters in ' most statehouses in the land. i The Honor of the House (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) A romantic story comes from Springfield, I, !t was when knighthood was in flower. A Uniform Traffic Code (Minneapolis Journal) ‘as motorists take to the road in increasing num- | them, and it ds reassuring to know that the American mance passed by Grand Rapids, Michigan, has been tentatively selected as a basis for this code, and the Michigan Legislature will be asked to enact it for the State. As other States follow along, the tendency will be toward complete uniformity. Thomas P. Henry, President of the A. A. A., says: Nation-wide abotition of confusing motor laws is not posstble, until an automobilist can drive through his own State without finding it necessary to conduct himself dif- ferently in each city and town. Uniform codes in any State will serve to convert the ‘people of that State tothe great need for Standardization. It should be only a short stop between that and nation-wide uni- formity. Among the measures in line with this movement would be abolition of “speed traps” and the fee system of arrests, with town constables tying in wait for victims whom they may hale before avari- cious justices of the pace. To accomplish this re- form, there is need of State systems of road patrol with all officers in uniform. Mr. Henry reports that seventfen States and the District of Columbia have already established road patrols, and that not only is enforcement of motor traffic laws more ef- fective in these States, but that motorists have greater protection. Another need is a plan whereby State license tags may be recognized in other States,, Because bership in the League of Nations and to assume any obligations undef the Covenant of the League this tribunal as recommended by President coot-| r Idge, but in the next dentence makes’ this very: dl: | i The Old Cook in a New Role a! rect qualification; ,— a a j } / i s A “This government has definitely refused mem-| ' ( form of the Republ party is contradictory on these two issues.
