The motion was opposed by one of
the democratic contingent, and it was
stated that the bin was certainly a
meritorious one and favored by the
people of the Whole state. To indorse
this sentiment and give it strength
from the republican side, Mr. Stern of
Fargo made a little talk in which he
said that he believed it to be one of
the best that had been introduced so
far this session. He also stated that
under the present law banks received
the benefit, and that Minnesota had
the advantage of the law proposed by
Mr.. Christiansons bill, and had found
it successful on operation, and he be-
lieved that North Dakota could do the
same
Mr.. Sorlie upheld his motion and
declared that the conditions between
the two states in this respect were en-
tirely different, as the conditions in
North Dakota differed vastly from
other states also. He believed the
present law would in the end be found
to be the most satisfactory here. He
then proceeded to wade heavily into
