Counsel on both sides We're on their

Attorney Pound said he found the

bly, OF the North Dakota legislature
which came to close at 10 o'clocl
Saturday morning, overlapping the
constitutional limitation by ten hour,
by reason Of the tremendous amount
Of business that was disposed Of dur
ing the final day.
Most important among the acts ol
the legislature was the passage Of
women suffrage and initiative and ref
erendum bills. and both subjects will
be presented to the people at general
election in 1914.
The provision for the election ol
woman suffrage is made in the Bron
con bill, No. 8, and 1t will require q
majority of all voters participating in
the election to carry the proposition
Initiative and referendum has been
submitted in two forms. One relates
to constitutional amendments and the
other to statutory laws.
Under the Gibbens bill, which pro
vides for amendments to the consti.
tuition, petition of 25 per cent of the
voters in at least half of the counties
of the state is required before a propo.
sition can be submitted. The petition
must be filed six months in advance
of the election, and if voted upon ia.
vorably must be passed by the next
succeeding legislature, when it be.
comes part of the constitution. Fail
ure upon the part Of the legislature to
adopt the amendment results in its
being automatically submitted to the
people again.
The same provision is made cover
ing statutory enactments, contained in
the Overson bill, except that a petition
OF only 10 per cent is required to sub

important new state adjunct created
by the assembly. This department

In the old betting books Of the

are to be found many curious records
Of wagers. There was once young
man who made money on spider rae

he would produce would cross plate
quicker than spider to be produced
by friend. Each spider was to have
its own plate. His opponents spider.
however, on being started would not
stir, while his Own ran with immense

How Trust Companies Aid fhe Farmer and En-
courage Scientific Agricultural Methods
Solving operation
Systems.

Next to the tariff and currency re-
form, the most important pledge which
the incoming Democratic administra-
tion promises to carry out is that Of
creating scientific methods IN agri-
culture. The difference in money and
loan rates existing in the larger finan-
cial centers, as compared with the
more remote country towns, was a
favorite topic of the campaign orators
during the past election year. Our
rural credit facilities were styled old
fashioned and IL has become the habit
TO refer TO the German and French
land credit systems as ART superior.
But the fact has evidently been over
looked that the banks and trust COM
panies, especially those located in ag-
ricultural sections, have made re-
markable progress in solving these
problems in true wide-awake Ameri-
can fashion.
Common sense and intelligent CO.
operation is the recipe which is being
used with excellent results in many
farming sections of the West and
South. Trust companies have been
particularly successful in improving
financial conditions and methods in
rural districts. Many sleepy towns
owe their first grasp of the get
there" spirit to the introduction OF
so-called modern trust company
methods" Instead of encrOaching
upon the field of the existing banks,
the advent of the lusty newcomer has
| resulted in attracting new BUSINESS
and funds. entcing idle savings out
/ of stockings and coffee-urns and Gre
atng new opportunities for the profit
able employment of home capital.
/ Reams OF statistics might be given to
show that the coming OF the trust
company I'm country communities has
brought greater prosperity to all
types of banking institutions, whether
national or state. The clinching ar
gument, however. is the demand for
trust companies has been so great
that within the past ten years such
enterprises have ben organized and
have been remarkably successful in
nearly every growing fair sized COM
munity in the country wit h10.O0 pop
ulation and over.
A large bul kof the farm loan busi-
ness is conducted by trust companies
and private bankers The tendency,
however, is to have this kind of busi-
ness transacted through incorporated
trust companies instead of through
private bankers where they are not
subject to supervision by state bank
inc authorities. In many cases the
facilities provided by country trust
companies to farmers, both in the
extension of credit and in helping him
to acquire or improve a homestead,
are fully as effective as those em-
ployed i'm Germany or France. Such
companies invest a large part of their
funds i'm farm mortgages which are
either carried as investment or sold to
clients, some of whom may reside
