- Bank of North Dakota. Sells Bonds:" Three Mllhon Dollars’ Worth of State Securities Are Ab- - sorbed by Eastern Syndicate . B)smarck Bureau, N oupartlsan Leader. HE Buncombe balloon, < which the anti-farmer .. politicians and the cor- poration press of the Northwest has been in- flating with lies ‘about ; the . soundness of the credit of the state of North Dakota, was effectual- ly punctured for all time by the action the other day of the Bank of North Dakota. Three million dollars’ worth of state bonds were sold at par, a syndicate ‘of eastern investment bank- ers organized by Colonel C. B. Little, - Bismarck banker, absorbing the se- curities. The bonds draw 5 per cent interest. In contrast to the propaganda which the farmers’ enemies have been car- rying on through their organs, there was stiff competition among eastern ~investment houses for the privilege of underwriting the securities. Sev- eral larger houses, known through- out the' country, were in the market and bidding. : The fact that the bonds sell at par is noteworthy, however, because of the unsettled conditions in the coun- try. On the other hand, the propa- ganda of the anti-farmer forces has cost the state hundreds of thousands. of dollars., Investment bankers were free to say that had it not been for - the lies which certain interests in the state and other districts outside of it have 'been ecirculating throughout the _country, that there. would have been no trouble in putting the securi- ties on the eastern market at a pre- mium of 2% points. On the $3,000,000 issue, just taken by Colonel Little’s syndicate, that means a loss to the state of $75,000. Yet the farmers’ opposmon has been crying “high taxes” and making a false issue in this way, while the agents of that opposition are practic- ing the baldest form of sabotage for “« - their own selfish ends! 3 Bond . buyers—that s, agents of._ New York investment bankers—have been frequent visitors at the state capitol .in the last few weeks. It is g anusing to the observer to hear some of - the views they have -obtained through the kept press before coming 3 - into the state, and see’ how those ~STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP, MANAGE- views- change once they make, their "E"J\} fi',,":u:‘;."g;‘ cs;'é';fi';gug:,"“ own: investigation, and become fully 0 ; 4 % AUGUST 24, 1912, informed about not only the unequal- ot the l\onpurtlsan Leader, publlshed weckly at St. " ADVERTISEMENTS SPRING BOARS FOR SALE State of Mlunesot.a Counw o!

No. 3 Ted financial stability of the state of North Dakota; but upon the sound busi- ness efficiency record made by the: Bank of North Dakota as well. One of these bond buyers, representing what probably is. the oldest invest- ment banking institution in the coun- try, made this remark: 3 : “The lies that have been spread throughout the country about North Dakota are a disgrace to any political faction that will stoop to such ruinous methods. I spent somie time investigating conditions for my house before I ever presented myself at the Bank of North Dakota and, while it would cost us considerable money to offset the bad advertising which interests-hardest hit by the farmers’ program have given the ‘state, our house will be glid— ‘very glad—'—to handle the state’s finances in the investment cen- ters if we get the chance. If there is” anything unsound about this farmers® uprising, I haven’t been able to detect it.” Two million dollars of the bonds sold to’ the Colonel Little syndicate are the bank’s capital stock bonds. Another million dollars’ worth are the first of the rural credits bonds, to be issued against farm mortgages by the Bank of North Dakota. Two immediate results will be obtained from this sale: First—Loans on farm mortgages will be made with greater rapidity. It will be unnecessary to call in money from local districts-to handle the farm loans, because the bond market, hav- ing been established, issues will be made . as the volume of rural loans demand them. Second—The Bank of North- Dako- ta, with all of its $16,000,000 in de- posits working, also will have the cap- ital to finance the first work on the state mills and elevators at once. The state now is in a position to go ahead with the’ construction of mills and elevators as fast as the plans can be completed and the sites selected by the industrial commission and the mill and elevator association. ing is, to the best of his- knowledge and-belief, a true statement if the ownership, management (and if a dally peper, the circulation), ete., of the aforesaid nubllultion for the date shown in the above caption, required by the act of August 24, 1912, .embodied in section 443, postal laws and regulations, printed on the reverse,side of this form, to wit: 1, That thesnameés and addresses of the publisher, editor, managing editor, and business managers are: ¥ Publisher, the Nonpartisan Pubushlng company, .
