FOR RAILROAD REGULATION

Judge Martin Knapp chairman of
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
recently stated that unless the rail-
roads and other public utilities cor
porations of the United States were
properly regulated for the welfare of
the people that strong movement
for national control would inevitably
result.
On the other hand, Judge Knapp
finds much of recent developments to
indicate a favorable outcome of the
problem. The great evils of passes
and rebates have been abolished
within the last decade, and much 9TH
er legislation has been passed pro-
tecting the people. The attitude of
the railway officials has greatly chang

Changed conditions are the result
of agitation. Railroad officials realize
that the people are supreme: that they

SHEEP ARE GIVEN
SPLENDID BOOST
GRANVILLE FARMER SAYS THEY
ARE NECESSARY TO SUCCESS
Full FARMING.

Granville N. D., June 25.-Sheep
raising as an important and leading
industry in farm life in North Dakota
Is what the farmers must adopt, says
F. o. Bacon, a prominent farmer re-
siding near here. who has made a
great success OF this branch of farm
activity.
you can more than double your
money in a year in raising sheep" he
said, land another thing you are bene-
fitting your land very greatly. After
harvest l let the sheep run on the
stubble, and it is surprising the man
ner in which they fatten up. Then,
too, they clean out the weeds. Sheep
will not eat tame grass when they can
get weeds, and you cannot find weed
in my pasture where the sheep have
been running.
Farmers will have to come to
sheep, hog or cattle raising whether
they want to or not. Some farmers
object to going into the sheep raising
business because of having to expend
a considerable amount in properly
equipping the farm to care for them,
but this is not good reason"

cations of the spinal joints, relieving
the nerves OF pressure; then nature
steps in and completes the work.
The work that the Chiropractor does
is to remove the distractions which in
terrupt the flow Of life giving vitality
from the nerves to the organs of the
body. Like little pebbles that lodge
in water pipe and retard the free flow
of water, subluxations of the spine
cause a pinching of the nerves which
pass between them, stopping wholly or
in part the passage of nervous force
to the organs of the body, and whatever
organ is affected decreases in activity
in exact ratio as the life is cut off
from it,
So when you think of CURING dis
ease, remember that a cure is natures
part and that no man yet known has
ever done the work that nature alone
can do, that the most any form of heal
ing can promise Is to assist. Chiro-
practic adjustments are the most eff
fective of any known way of removing
the Cause of disease that human
knowledge has ever devised. They
contain the promise and the fulfllment

STATE TREASURER
MAKES A REPLY
HAS LENGTHY STATEMENT IN
ANSWER TO THE CHARGES
MADE AGAINST HIM-TAkES
EXCEPTION TO SOME OF THE
STATEMENTS MADE,

Bismarck N. d. = To The Forum:
The Forum, under date of June 6, has
taken occasion to criticise the methods
employed by me in conducting affairs
In the state treasurer's office | wish. at
this time, to take exceptions to some of
the positive CD statements made in
above named article and also to in
form the reader that the statements
hereinafter set forth can be corrobor-
ated by the records in my Office.
In the first place, there was not on
deposit in the First State bank Of
Bowbells $25,183.43 on June IL, 1909,
as set forth in item three of The
Forum article. There never was a
certificate of deposit issued by the
First State bank of Bowbells to the
state of North Dakota for s2O,230 or
Tor any other amount. In regard to
the deposit with the First State bank
of Bowbells, it is well to note that
this account was opened by former
Treasurer Peterson Aug. 49,. 1908, with
a deposit Of $4,000. The state held a
bond of $4,000 approved by a ma
Jority of the state board of auditors.
Then, too, the balances were not
drawn from the above named bank
prior to the quarterly reports and res
deposited The report of March 81,
1910, shows a balance; the report of
June 30 shows no balance, but show
ed cash item and this item was sent
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1910-06-25

out for collection on July 2, and the
account with the above bank was then
permanently retired. Through mis-
take this collection was entered on the
books, but this entry only stood for
four days or until the error was dis
covered upon the return of the draft
in payment of the collection. AS To
the collection OF drafts No. 9758- $3.50;
these drafts were for unusually
large amounts, being for $225,347.5S
$66,121.26, and S99, 903.82 and were
sent to the First State bank of Bow
bells for collection not for deposit and
on the same date as these drafts were
received by the above named bank
even before they were collected, they
were split up into drafts of $4,000
each and sent to the state treasurer
These drafts were then deposited in
state. There was no state depository
state. There was no state depository
large enough to accommodate any one
of these drafts on deposit; therefore,
it was necessary to have them divided
in this manner so that the funds could
be deposited in conformity with the
law. At the time these drafts were
collected / had an opinion from the
attorney general and according to this
opinion, my acts were entirely within
the law.
Now in what follows / wish to con-
trast the present methods employed
in this office, with the methods of the
former stalwart management, and
leave 1t to the voting public of this
state to draw their own conclusions.
When / assumed the duties of treas
urer on Jan. 5, 1909 there were about
301 state depositaries of which less
than ESQ had state funds, and there
were thirteen banks not state deposit
taries with state balances. Today there
are 500 depositaries, every one with a
balance Of $1,000 or more Only the
regularly appointed sdepositaries have
funds and none of these have more
than they are designated for
During the months of March, April
and May, just prior to the primary
campaign Of 1908, the state funds were
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1910-06-25

Inc largest balance was $1SO,o5S.lS
on Nov. 10, 1906, and as shown by the
above statement there have been vast
amounts for which the state has had
no security in the way of bonds: 1t
is true that the First National bank
of Bismarck had submitted a personal
bond for 100000 but article 5, OF the
Revised Codes of .1905, states that a
personal bond shall be double the de-
posit to be received under it. There
fore, this bond was ample only for a
deposit of 100000 at the most.
The above are only few samples
of stalwart unlawful methods as evil
denced by the state records I under
stand that the last ten days of the
present campaign are going to be de-
voted to one grand effort to nominate
stalwart treasurer. Why?s To re-
gain control of the funds of the state
and manipulate them as I have shown
they have done insthe past.
The records of the state treasurer's
office prior to the year 1909 are teem-
ing with gross Irregularities and un-
lawful methods, some of them far
more serious than the ones cited above.
Secretary of State Alfred Blaisdell,
Auditor Holmes and Attorney General
McCue were members of the state
board of auditors which designated
the depositaries for 1908 and 1909.
Why did the above board approve of
bonds of the Andy Jones bank at Rug
by for $48,500 when the bank was
qualified to receive but about $4,000
Of deposit? Why did they approve
of a bond of $780, 900 and designate the
Barton State bank for $4,000 when
the bank was entitled to but $50, 900 !?
Why did they designate the Citizens
National bank of Wahpeton for $780,
600 when 1t was in excess OF the
amount allowed by law? Why did
they do the same with several other
banks in the state?
1t has been my policy since l have
been treasurer to accord the same
treatment to all banks regardless of
their political Affiliations, something
that has never been done in the past
and defy The Fargo Forum or any
body else to show one instance under
the present administration paralleling
any Of the above cases. Has any one
heard OF the bonding company can
ceiling or trying to cancel my bond |?
No Therefore, the condition in my
Office must have been satisfactory
when examined in January. The Fo-
rum, ID. M. Holmes and La Due to the
contrary Notwithstanding.

Thomas b. Catrun was also consld-

somewhat chastened mood and not
inclined to push his claims to honor

There are those among the delegates
who VIII oppose Mr. Spiess ana his
ambition to the last ditch, for during
his long political career in New
Mexico the gentlaman from San Mi
guel has made numerous enemies.
Taking as their text the Spiess rec
ord, these political enemies with long
memories point to his career in the

he fathered or helped pass which they
