PAUL, MINN. | What the “Bank of the People’ Means Largest Financial Institution in America, Except Federal ; Reserve, Ready for Its Maiden Voyage When the farmers of North Dakota decided to have a state bank of their own, they resolved that there should be no poli- tics in it, but that every appointment from the highest down to the lowest should be based on merit. The directorship of the bank was placed in the hands of the governor, the commis- sioner of agriculture and labor, and the attorney general. They chose as director general of the Bank of North Dakota, F. W. Cathro. Mr. Cathro, in addition to having been the first presi- dent of the state bankers’ association, was for over 20 years eashier of the National bank of Bottineau, N. D. TUnder his direction, and that of J. W. Waters, who was made manager of the bank after having held the position of state bank examiner for two terms, a staff of the highest excellence is being built up. At the head of one department is a banker from the Fed- eral Reserve bank in Minneapolis. .In the following article Mr. Cathro tells the reasons for the establishment of the Bank of North Dakota and what it hopes to accomplish. z]HE sovereign state of North Dakota‘ has a higher degree of intel- ligence, or according to the United States cen: - sus, a smaller. degree of illiteracy, than most of the states, and smaller than either the great states of Minnesota, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York and Missouri, which con- tain five of the financial centers of the United States with whom our state has in the past had most of its moneyed associations and from whom we borrow very largely and through whom we sell our produce on their terms. It should be remembered these great centers, like ourselves, are bor- rowers and users of other people’s money. They contain the branch fed- eral reserve banks and the moneyed accumulations of many great corpo- rations. used in trade. Heretofore North Dakota has paid the penalty of the borrower through these chan- nels; she has not had the benefit of accumulations of foreign corporations at low rates of interest, relying upon ~ individual resources; state has grown. We have passed the stage of in- fancy; we are of age; we have great assets to utilize to aid our people in a financial way. The debt of the peo- ple of North Dakota is relatively small and insignificant compared with its resources., Our people have resented injustice, but have never revolted in a way that indicates a spirit of red revolution. They resort to the constitutional bal- lot for the redress of their grievances; they are sober-minded, studious and industrious, and give careful consid- eration to their economic - problems and decide carefully and wisely. There is no tendency towards anarchy, but the people are law-abiding. With no large industrial centers, no large mining towns, and no large congestion of population, there is no chance for the propagation of bolshevism or I. W. W.ism, but, on the contrary, the homes of our people are scattered and spread out over an area of over 70,000 square miles. ONE OF LARGEST BANKS IN NATION Our state nmow starts out on the fingncial seas on a maiden voyage with $6,000,000,000 resources back of the guaranty of deposits and sound- ness of “the Bank of North Dakota” and affiliated banks, compared with which the combined .capital and re- sources of all national and state banks of North Dakota are comparatively insignificant and if we except the although = our . federal reserve banks there will be no larger financial institution in the land than our bank. . We shall need its reéourcea to han- dle the $400,000,000 ctop and preserve< O T S A DGR o S R 5 £ O A e Tyl yacacs the “real property” value of our state, whose lands have increased in value enormously within the past two or three years. If adequate financial facilities are not extended, our peo- ple must suffer. Therefore, this state has provided a guaranty in financial strength behind a great central bank, which is not out to punish the bank- ing fraternity or penalize or revolu- tionize. banking. Our state has no enemies to punish, nor friends to re- ward. It does not intend to become a competitor - of existing banks. It desires to aid them and extend and facilitate banking within this state. If it is fought or opposed by any existing bank within or without the state such action is voluntary on the part of those who would fasten mo- nopoly upon the commonwealth. Fail- ure to make good the cause of this big bank will not be the fault of the management, and while the patience of the farmer and stock raiser has never been exemplified so well as by Job of scnptural fame, whose wealth . was measured in thousands of oxen and whose patience has become pro- verbial, our farmers, producers and home builders at last have provided this Bank of North Dakota, which . also asks ‘co-operation of all the peo- ple in and out of this state in the cause of the common good. Let all work in harmony to utilize and sta- bilize credit and commercial values within this state that have been greatly disturbed and possibly divert- ed during the war period. POISON GRASSHOPPERS EARLY The bulk of the grasshoppers hatch in June. can only walk, and travel one to two rods a day. When they get larger they can fly and will then be able tc move considerable distances, and especially with the wind. This em- phasizes the need of poisoning them early. Another reason for early poisoning is that every day a grass- hopper is allowed to live it eats crops voraciously. There is what I call the American idea. This idea demands as the prox- imate organization thereof a ‘democ- racy, that is a government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people, of course a government of the principles of justice and the un- changing law of God; for shortness’ sake I will call it the idea of free- dom.—THEODORE PARKER.
