that have national repositories, and
we therefore ask that our senators
and congressman oppose the estab-
lishment of such banks.
We recommtnd that GUS senators
and congressman have the national
banking laws amended to allow ma
tional banks to carry first mortgage
real estate loans as part of their
assets.
81 We believe that the banks Of North
Dakota are being assessed on q high
er per cent of valuation than other
property and recosamend that the
matter be brought to the attention
of the next board of equalization
with a view of having bank stock
committee of our association confer
assessed on the same basis as other
classes of property.
We recommend that the executive
with the federal authorities and the
governor If our state and ask that
such men be appointed bank examin-s
ers in our state as are indorsed by
this association.
We favor a modern system of real
estate titles and recommend that the
coming legislature be asked to pass
what is known as the Torrens Title"
system.

The following resolution was also
adopted:
Whereas, we are about to harvest
the largest crop ever grown In the
state, and realizing that there Is no
idle laborers in our state, and that
many thousands of men will be re-
quired and must be shipped into the 1
state, therefore be it
Resolved, by this association, that
We ask the several railroads to as
sist us in getting the required labor
by granting a special rate for trans
portation, the rate to be put In force
at once, and the return rates not to-
be good before October Is.
Among the committee reports were
the following:
Group Meetings.
The report Of the committee on
group meetings was as follows:
& We heartily agree that there
should be an organization covering
smaller districts in the state for the
reason that we believe this is the
place wherein we may discuss the
matters Of exchange and where the
conditions of the surrounding coun-
try can be taken into consideration
and the business of banking as 1T
has developed In the community can
be talked over with local aspect as
It concerns each banker in that dis
strict. We believe that the state as
ISOLATION should, as in the past, take
up the large matters that affect not
only the bankers, but the state, as
whole. The matter Of grain inspec-
ton and grading, terminal markets,
the conservation of our national re-
sources, SO ably presented at this
meeting and such discussion shows
our Interests In the state. It not only
shows that We can take up such mat
tiers from an unselfish motive, but it |
proves that we are big enough and
broad enough to accomplish results.
We recommend that group meet
ings be held in each judicial district
In the state, not less than three times
each year. 3
We recommend that this conyen-
ton choose a member Of this assoc
iation from each judicial district or
such other subdivision as may be-
agreed upon, who shall call the first
meeting In his district on or about
the last week in August this year.
We recommend that each district
