It has been dem- onstrated that ‘notices publically dis- played in the bank to the affect the time lock {s on during banking hours will prevent daylight attacks. Yet many member banks hesitate to dis- Play such notices or to keep the time lock on during the day.” Official Declares Documents Do Not Comply With Law (Continyed from page one) 100, passed by the twenty-second leg- islative assembly, relating to four- cent motor vehicle fuel tax and dis- tribution of revenue derived there- from—filed with this office on June 2—does not meet the requirements of article 26, amendments to N.

In 2975 cases, however, it appears very clearly that the signer himself did not add the date of signing, his residence and postoffice address and that this in formation was entered in the hand- writing of some person other than the signer. Deducting this amount of 2975 from 9277, the total number of signatures, leaves 6302 satisfactory and acceptable signatures, or 698 less than 7000, the number required by article 26, amendments to our consti- tution, In this connection we wish to State for your information that in arriving at the number of defective Isignatures (2975) Proper credit has been given for 964 instances in which the signer himself did originally en- ter ditto marks in place of date and residence, according to your own per- sonal statement of a week ago. for this the number of defective sig- natures would have been 3939, making total of acceptable signatures 5338 or 1662 below the required amount. “Although somewhat contradictory and conflicting in meaning no objec- tion is made to the wording of the petition itself as this, in our opinion, is sufficiently expressive of the in- tention of the petitioners to effect a referendum of 8.

D., June 19.—(7)—H. C. Schumacher, chairman of the com- mittee of five in charge of the gas tax referendum petitions, said today! he would call a gathering of the group to determine procedure to be followed as a result of the secretary of state's ruling that the petitions lacked @ legal number of signers. Schumacher said no action would likely be taken today as William Lemke, counsel for the group, is at ‘Wheaton, Ill, and is not expected tu return until Saturday. He said he would confer with the two out-of-town members of the com- mittee by telephone and then consul: Lemke before making final decision on @ course of action. Dickinson Plans to License All Vendors Dickinson, N. D., June 19.— Street vendors, auctioneers, hawkers and Peddlers may not enjoy the privilege of making sales in Dickinson here- after without paying for it. The city commission has offered for passage and given the first reading to an or- dinance providing for licensing all vendors as a means of protecting lo- cal merchants. In event the ordinance becomes law, anyone violating it will be prose- cuted and subject to fine and im- prisonment. Licenses mentioned in the bill run as high as $60 a day and as low as $1 a day. The ordinance was drawn and read following complaints of local business houses that peddlers, taking money from the city, were accorded greater Mberties than the local merchants, inasmuch as the former pay no taxes or contribute in no other ways to the city’s benefit. Improve Mail Service Between Slope Cities Dickinson, N. D., June 19.— Twice datly mail service between Dickinson and New England was inaugurated Monday, William Lenneville, post- master, has announced. Under the new schedule the mail stage leaves Dickinson at 5 a. m. and at 3 p.m. It will leave New England at 11:30 a. m. and at 7:15 p,m.

P. depot | at 3:35 p. m,, arrives before the bus leaves, thus giving New Englanders benefit of the late afternoon mail. our state.” Have Legal Recourse The legal recourse open to the peti- tioners is to bring mandamus pro: ceedings against the secretary of state to have him show cause why the peti- tions should not be accepted. nal; and W. C, Macfadden, Fargo, state secretary. More than 200 members of the as- sociation, Thursday were warned they must prepare themselves for a com- plete economical readjustment. In the last 10 or 11 years drastic changes have been effected in the agricultural and merchandising areas of the country, speakers declared. Prices on farm produce sank to new low levels, the country was clut- tered with an excess production from its factories, and deflation was bound to come. ‘The country is swinging into a new era, the bankers were told, and in @ time not far away agriculture will be placed on a more equal basis with other industries and factory produc- tion will be put on @ more stable foundation. Dr. R. A. Beard, Fargo, opened the convention with invocation and A. T. Lynner, president of the city commis- sion, welcomed the bankers to Fargo. As vice president of the association, Pp, T.

Should the matter be taken to the courts, as ig indicated it will be, a decision in all prokability would be Manded down ‘before the eifective date of the law. The date for filing referendum pe- titions expires 90 days after the close of the legislature, and since the timz has already expired the petitioners cannot submit any additional signa- tures to replace those held to be de- fective. If the petitioners are defeated in the courts and still desire to bring the gas tax law before the people, they could do so by initiating a law. This would require 10,000 signatures. While such a law would be a new act, it could be drawn yp to amend the four-cent gasoline tax act so as to reduce the tax to three cents or lowe:.

Commends Organization of Associations Poultry raisers in several counties are aiding in an organized way the development of a profitable poultry industry in North Dakota, reports F. E. Moore, extension poultry specialist of the Agricultural college. A number of counties are sponsoring the growth of the industry through county poul- try associations, while growers in sev- eral other counties are formulating Plans for the organization of asso- ciations. The latest county to or- ganize an association is La Moure. Counties within which poultry as- sociations are now operating are Barnes, Pembina, La Moure and Walsh, while the Lake Region Poultry Improvement association serves gro' ers in Ramsey, Benson, Towner, Cav- aller and Eddy counties. McKenzie, Bowman, Adams and Dickey counties are considering the organization of local groups soon. These county poultry associations make the work of the county agent and extension service much more ef- fective, points out Moore, and the development of the business is stimu- lated accordingly. The main aim of the groups is to stimulate interest in poultry and to bring about an im- provement in quality and thus event- ually improve the market for North Dakota poultry products. State ac- creditization of breeding stock is also a hoped for result.
