If the line-up today is similar to that which prevailed Wednesday, the emergency clause may be defeated, either because the bill fails to obtain the necessary two-thirds majority or by the taking of a separate vote on the emergency clause.

Action on the measure is expected to be withheld until the committees can study thoroughly the proposec re-draft, which was prepared by the voluntary banking code commission appointed by George F. Shafer. \ A. L. Netcher of Fessenden, chair- man of the commission, detailed the various changes proposed before a joint meeting of the banking commit- tees of both houses. He explained that there had been no new compi- lation of the banking laws since 1913 and recodification was considered ad- visable so as to simplify the work of locating provisions of the act. “Since the compilation of laws in 1913,” he said, “We have had no re- classification of laws relating to banks, making it difficult to answer a problem under the banking laws without reference to many codes, supplements and session laws. “To classify and condense all the existing and proposed banking laws it present laws, and to rearrange and renumber all old sections retained’ together with the new ones suggested, ‘so as to enable anyone.desiring to as- board certain the provisions relating to this|pendent farmer elevators supporting class of business to refer to one code.” | private commission. firms was seen Netcher termed the: provision re-|as a result of election of an entire | scrutiny. lating to formation of agricultural| new directorate of the North Dakota! “I have credit corporations within a bank as|Farmers'Grain Dealers association at probably the most important part ofthe final session of the 2ist annual ‘the bill. convention here Thursday. “This is an entirely new departure,”| The retiring directors and officials he said, “Providing for the organiza-| favorable to cooperatives refused to tion of corporations to rediscount its| consider renomination or to serve receivables without guaranty or en-|further.

A charge that the convention's se- lection of new officers definitely shows that the control of the organ- ization has passed out of the hands of the farmers cooperative elevators, was made by H. H. White, veteran elevator man of White Spur, and sup- porter of a farm board cooperative marketing agency. “This would be a regrettable thing were it not for the fact that new terminal tives are rapidly taking the place of the state associa- tion,” he said. ‘New officers of the association de- clined to comment on the White statement. A resolution which would bar any member from becoming a director or officer of the association who became a member of the terminal coopera- tives, was defeated in executive ses- sion as also was a resolution con-| snq demning any effort to cut storage rates. No action was taken on a reso- lution endorsing house bill 71, which gives the elevator the right to sell sufficient grain to pay storage due.

National banks are now exempt under the national bank- ing acts. ‘The provision was incorporated in the bill with the recommendation of I, A. Acker, state tax commissioner. Several sections relating to criminal actions were detailed by Netcher. ‘One provides for a penalty for slan- der and libel of banks.
