Gently made Shy Col George Lo 0rdway, au-
di,or of tho Territory. Last winter tho lesls-
iature passed n new insurance law toward the
close Of tho session. aud amid the rush of
business Ill amendment was made which aimed
to compel all outside companies other than
life to make with the Territorial treasurer n
special deposit of 500, 900 for the benefit of
it's Dakota policy holders. Another clause of
the law left it open question whether after all
the special deposit might not be made at the
place where The company was organized.
There was such an appari mt conflict hctween
the two clauses (~aectlons % and lbl that eX-
Auditor Purdy at first issued a circular TO the
companies to the effect that tic deposit might
be made with tho chief financial or insurance
officer of the S'ata where the company was or
GaliZed. Later. Mr., Purdy mod fed hs former
decision, and held that outside companies must
make tho deposit with the Territorial treasurer.
This decision, though following naturally from
tho reading of the law, was detrimental 10 the
public interest: for many COMPANIES have de-
cided not TO make n derosit here, preforrinG 10

The following resolutions were then

Whereas, the convention now in session
at Sioux Falls, OAK, and representing that
portion of this great territory lying south
Of the forty-sixth parallel, has assumed to
act for the people of the territory in the
preamble OF its constitution, as published
IN the associated press dispatches TO-DAY:
and whereas, the convention at Sioux Falls
in its action has ignored the rights of 3OO,-
600 North Dakotans, who represent more

Resolved, by this convention, That we
earnestly protest against this attempt on
the part of South Dakota, as represented in
tho Sioux Falls convention, to appropriate
the name Of Dakota, our common heritage.
The productions of that portion of Dakota
lying north of the forty sixth parallel have
