Editor, Tribune: Having been a silent reader of The ‘Tribune for a number of years, I! have decided to write in regard to our wonderful banking laws. I mention banking laws. Have we any at all? It doesn't look that way to me, at least. North Dakota certainly has had its share of bank failures and not one depositor was protected. Now who: gets the depositor’s money? It must be somewhere. The banks as a rule have plenty of security for every dol- lar they loan to any person. So why should not the depositor be protected in some fashion Most farmers and business men work hard to accumu- late something. Then when they ac- cumulate a little cash some smart fellow closes the bank and gone for- ever is your little fortune you worked 80 hard to get. Why not change those banking laws of our state? A man who is not capable of get- ting or furnishing enough bonds Should never start a bank—I mean bonds to protect the depositor. A bank in McIntosh county had de- posits ranging from $25,000 to $50,000 and still it went “hay-wire.” Now these men, mostly farmers, did not @raw their moncy and still the bank closed. Isn't that a crime? We have had plenty of law-produc- rs out in Bismarck every two years, ‘but you seldom hear of a decent law passing. Take the dog tax, for in- Stance. It is safe to bet 50 per cent have not paid their dog tax, but the big sheep man north of here thinks he has put up a wonderful law. All our law-producers do out there 4s to get a good soft chair and warm it and have a big lawyer who can talk rather fast to “holler” about something — nothing, however, to benefit the farmer or the public. I mean the majority. But it always takes them 60 full days to get all ‘the good laws in force. It takes them just about a month to form the dif- ferent committees, which is all non- Bense. Why not start to grind them out|}%! right away instead of wasting time ‘nd spending the taxpayers’ money for nothing? Wake up and do some- thing to improve our good state of North Dakota! Then we will all Prosper and get over this depression. A CRITIC FROM LOGAN COUNTY. Pressmen of State To Meet in Minot Minot, N.

D., Nov. 30.—Se- lection of class officers at the Uni- j versity of North Dakota has been placed entirely in the hands of the student body after two years of par- tial control by the faculty commit- |tee on students affairs. | Under the new plan, each class can leo ahead anv time it chooses and elect ari unlimited number of offi- cers. The only regulations still main- tained by’ the faculty committee are that candidates for choregus shall have the sanction of the music de- partment and that all elections be out of the way by Dec. 15. The winning leandidates for choregus will direct their classes in the Carney song con- test held annually in connection with the Founders’ Day celebration Feb. 22.

The candidates were not announced until the morning of election day. Say Men Threatened To Cut Out Tongues Minot, N. D., Nov. 30.—(#)—A night of terror in which it was threatened their tongues would be cut out was detailed by Des Lacs, N. D., farm- ers Saturday as formal charges were placed against two Minot men. The. affair grows from the finding by the farmers of a sizeable cache of alcohol’ and the alleged efforts of the pair to recapture it. Clifford Chambers and Harold Barlow both are to face charges of, felonious possession of weapons and Barlow will face second-offense| liquor possession charge. Chambers) has been identified by one of the, farmers of Des Lacs as one of the quartet which threatened his life. JUST SPEAK TO IT London.—A radio receiving set on display at the recent Wireless Exhi- bition needs only to be told to bring in a certain station and it does so au- tomatically.
