STATE Dnnno PROSPEROUS
Increase Their Resources $4eo, 1864
During Last Year.

Bank statements furnish a sure in.
dication of the progress of a state or
a community and a handsome increase
in banking indicates a growing, pros
porous country. Officials of the bank
ing department located at GrandsF Forks
call attention to the figures of the
last statement as an Indication of
growth and development.
State banks Of North Dakota have
increased their by $780,
1855 during the last year, according
to calculations based on the state.
ments issued on Aug. 9, 1913, and
Sept. 4, 1912.
The total resources of such banks
at present amount to 2,466, 112.O5
against SCI, 965, 926.4O.
The increase is largely due to the
growth of time deposits, which have
shown an increase of S1,513,234.21.
Other forms of deposits appear to
have been on the down grade during
the past year.
The surplus funds have increased
by $27, S97.04 and the total capitaliza-
ton has also gone up $37,7
The apparent increase in deposits
outside of certificates is probably due
to the fact that the statement recently
issued was called for before the crops
began to move, while last year the
movement was in full swing by the
time the record was taken.

"BE CALM" HE SAYS
District Commissioners Believe, How

only those who believe that the United

that the National Legislature will de-
stroy Washington" said Commissioner
Frederick L. Siddons, referring to the
adverse criticism caused by the recent
action of Congress in handling District

lore the West End Citizens Association

one or two others no pending legislation

We have resented certain things hap
pening in Congress, but, remember, Con-
gress cannot be dubbed into submission
and they are the judges. l will not be-
lieve in my own mind that Congress
ever will do. anything to wilIfully ruin
Washington. Let us be calm and tenn
perate."
Mr.. Siddons upheld Congress in the
work it is doing for the District and
thought a greater feeling of friendship
should exist between the citizens and
that body.

The examination Of the form of gov
ernment in the District by Congress is,
I believe, a certainty" Commissioner
Siddons continued. This matter is not
going to sleep and We will have to face
it. l believe that such an examination
should be made by a joint committee
OF the Senate and House, which would
COolly consider the issue and give an un-
biased and unprejudiced report. We
citizens OF Washington should welcome
such a move"
Mr.. Siddons pointed out the progress
made by the District during the last
thirty-five years. Not more than twenty
years ago. he said, Washington was fac
ing bankruptcy with an outstanding un
secured debt of between 5000 eco and
5000 600 He predicted that by the end
of the fiscal year the unfunded and I'M
bonded debt would be liquidated and that
the bonded debt would be reduced TO
s.. 10000. He also said that there is a
present tendency in Congress to scruti-
nize the existing financial relations with
the District.
