BOYS FOR ENCAMPMENT
Stutsman County Lads Selected for
the Big Agricultural Eneamp-
ment at State Fair.

jamestown Alert: John Mccarthy
of Pingree and Harry Brown of Mont
pelier as delegates, and George Betz
of Medina and Clarence Dunlap of
jamestown as ~alternates, are the
lucky Stutsman county boys chosen
to participate in the state encamp-
ment at the fair grounds, Fargo. July
1921, under the auspices of the
North Dakota Better Farming asso-
citation, Farm Expert A. +. Borchert
of Jamestown will be at the encamp-
ment during the week to have sup
ervision over the local delegation, and
see that all the benefits are obtained.
Fifty boys from the various coun-
ties have already been appointed, anu
r fine encampment is assured to the
lucky farm lads chosen.
The encampment for boys is a feat
ure established by the Better Farming
associations. Two boys from each
county in the state are to be appoint
ed to attend, and they will be pro-
vided with quarters and food at the
fair grounds. They will be under
military regulations, and supervised
by a commissioned officer Of the
United States army. In addition they
will be under the supervision and in
struction of professors from the ag-
ricuItural college, representatives Of
the Better Farming association, and
a representative of the Y. M. G. A.
Expert Borchert states that the
mornings will be given over to i'm
struction along agricultural lines. The
| afternoon and evening will be de-
voted to sightseeing and amusements
such as are provided by those in
charge.
Interest that has been aroused by
this unique encampment is general
In Sargent county the board of coun-
ty commissioners made a special APP
preparation to pay the expenses OF
the boys who were appointed as dele
gates. In other counties banks have
| contributed to make up the sum
necessary.

are usually anxious 70 correct;
superficial bank examination. Mr..
Murray has done what he could 70
strengthen the examination process
by sending out orders requiring men
to work without the aid of clerks IN
the banks that are being examined
and explaining to the examiners the
best methods to be pursued in detect
ing irregularity. These precautions
have worked well, but 1T remains true
that without the active and consJant
supervision OF a committee of directors
familiar with the local paper and
constantly looking into the holdings
OF the bank not very much can be ac-
complished. Such cooperation can be
had in the larger institutions as a
rule; but there are many smaller
banks where the directors are indiffer-
ent or careless and where the xann-
liner finds his efforts blocked in conse-
quence.

nearing the end of his term of Office.

tive means under the present law. He

the same direction. But, as the recent
Investigations show, there will remain
a percentage Of banks suffering from
conditions practically certain to pro-
duce failure. These are of a nature
against which none Of the resources
now at hand will wholly serve. Mr..
Murray's latest work in analyzing and
segregating the causes of failure again
emphasizes the demand for a%ppropri-
ate legislation. 1t shows that almost
absolute safety can be obtained in the
national system with a satisfactory
revision of the bank act and with
proper powers vested in the comptrol-
Ter. The present provision against
excessive loans Is good as far as 1t
goes, but needs to be made more spe-
cifc so as to cover those cases of in
terlocking concerns where the division
Of a given loan among several signers
is a technical rather than a real COM
pliance with the law. Besides this,
there is an urgent call for a revision
of the act so far as relates to the
classes of security that may be taken
and the kind of loans hat may be
made. Permission to grant a small
amount of loans on Tea estate secur-
ity In country districts, if accompa-
MED by stringent supplementary pro-
visions against further loans Of the
same sort, might be q good thing, but
only on the latter condition. AS for
dishonesty in banks the comptroller
has shown how to reach that by pro-
visions increasing the responsibility of
directors and making 1t worth the ex-
aminer's while to stay long enough at
each institution.

SAFETY OF BANKS.

The New York Journal of Commerce
had the following editorial Indicating
the national banks are on a safer
basis today than ever:
One after another, the experience of
the national government is bringing
into clearer light the principal causes
of bank failures. In a general way
there has never been any doubt about
the factors that led to the break
down of banking institutions. But
close analysis shows that there are
certain principal causes of difficulty.
These become more or less important
according to the character of the SUI
pervision to which the institutions
are subject. Dishonesty on the part
of officers or clerks. excessive loans to
individuals and firms, and investment
in prohibited classes Of security APP
pear from the comptroller's recent in
yestigations to be the origin of nearly
all the trouble within the past few
years.
OF these causes of danger two are
decidedly within the power of the gov
eminent to abolish and the other is
more or less ~remediabIe. In other
years various comptrollers of the chr
rency have been inclined to look with
a very lenient eye upon prohibited
classes Of national bank investment.
The making Of loans on real estate
has been allowed to go on under rath-
er thin disguise, and there is still a
great deal of 1t in the national system.
The same is true of other classes OF
bank operations hat contain elements
OF danger, and hence are regarded
with doubt by safe bankers. while
many of them are prohibited IN spe-
cific terms under the bank act. The
excessive loan question has been a
source of great trouble. One cause of
the multiplication of banks IN our sys-
tenn has been the desire of individuals
and corporations to have banks of
their own under their control SO that
they could get loans about as thew
chose and under friendly auspices
without revealing their operations to
outsiders,
When the present comptroller took
ofice he found that more than half Of
the banks were ~violators of the law.
and Of this half a very large propor-
ton were at fault on one OF the two
counts already mentioned. There
still remain today more than 1000
banks that are out Of harmony with
the law as to excessive loans. AS for
dishonesty In the bank itself, that is
d condition that the bulk of the Of
fcials Of the institution as well as
the comptroller and his examiners

of men manipulate the nominations,

In the machine shop the object is to
make all machinery as simple as pos
sible; in politics when something goes
wrong the politicians remedy is to add
more wheels.
And one of the queerest things about
the whole business Is that nobody has
a good word for the primary law, but
they all seem to want it.
