WIBAUX BANK SOLD.
Exchange Bank ef Glendive Com
pletes Deal for the Purchase
of the Dawson Co. Bank.

The Review is authorized to
state that deal has just about
been closed whereby the Ex-
change bank of this city acquires
the business, property and good
will of the Dawson County Bank
Of Wibaux.
All the details of the sale have
not been completed at this writ
ing, but there is no doubt of their
early settlement. It is stated
that the bank will not change
hands for another month, and
the details Of management have
not been perfected by the new
owners.
When asked concerning these
matters, Cashier Charles Banker
Of the Exchange bank stated that
he could say nothing for publica-
tlon at this time except that the
deal was practically completed
and that the Exchange people ex-
pect to continue operation Of the
Wibaux bank on as broad and lib
ers.l business lines as possible.
The Dawson County bank was
established about six years ago
by w. A. Organ, the we'll known
Wibaux merchant, and J. B.
LaWlis. Later on Mr.. Lawlis sold
his interest to w. II. Freeman,
and about two years ago the lat
ter acquired an entire interest.
This institution had the field to
itself until the establishment of
the First National Bank of Wi
baux a year ago last May. With
the rapid development of Wibaux
and vicinity. there is without
doubt enough business for two
such enterprising fiduciary insti-
tutions as the town will now have.
Knowing the high standing
and character of the men who
compose the directorate Of the
Exchange bank, as we'll as their
unfailing courtesy in dealing with
the public, The Review feels like
congratulating the people of Wi
baux on the completion Of this
deal. Review.

corrections Of abuses. And this is a
serious matter-a far more serious
matter than is generally thought. II
because Of Injurious legislation
railroads were to cease to pay, il
investments In railroad property
we're to come to be regarded With
suspicion, railroad building would be
checked, railroad improvement would
come to a standtslll aud the severest
crisis aud most %protracted bard times
that have ever visited this country
would come upon US. 1t does not
matter that the people have long
suffered from inequitable AID
discriminatory freight rates. 1t does
not matter that 10 all the states the
public service has been debauched by
railroad Hobbies Correction of
positive abuses is desirable and
necessary, but vindictive legislation
can only prove harmful. When
matters Of this kind became issues In
political campaigns the demagogue is
as dangerous as the lobbyist. There
is never any telling what direction
legislation may take when this stage
Is reached, Two years ago 10 this
state a serious and important bill was
introduced according to the specific
requirement Of the constitution, a
maximum freight rate law. This
year the only railroad legislation
which seems likely to be enacted is a
two cent passenger fare bill, Of very
doubtful wisdom.

The people OF the state will not
have much respect for the present
legislature, ia spite of some Of its
spectacular legislative reforms, II 1t
fails Of It's duty in passing the Speer
amendment to the Maximum freight
rate law Of two years ago. The
Speer amendment merely restores the
rates In two classes to what they
we're in the original bill before
alterations we're made 10 the senate
with the hope Of having the whole
law declared Invalid by the courts.
The constitution, which the
Legislators are sworn to support,
distinctly provides that the
Legislature shall fix maximum freight
rates on various classes OF freights
and shall from time to time revise
these rates. Nearly thirty years ago
a legislature fixed maximum rates
which have not been revised. Two
years ago the SDeer. Dickinson bill
was passed after it had been amended
with sinister motive. This law is
not yet in operation on account Of a
federal court injunction. The
injunction will probably be made
perpetual after the end OF this
session Of the legislature, unless the
legislature amends the stock schedule
II is for this reason that the
dlibustering on this subject was
had last week. The railroads don't
want the stock rate raised for fear
the whole law may be sustained.
