ruling DRASTIC
STATE BANKING DEPARTMENT,
DESPITE INJUNCTION, WILL
STAND BY ITS DECISION.

Aberdeen, Oct. 16.-"The state
banking department will stand on its
ruling, and will do all in its power to
enforce the same. Beyond that 1t
would be unethical for me to discuss
the injunction further nov hal Ii is
in the courts.'ttt
@U'his was the only statement Gov.
Frank NJ. Byrne would make yester-
say in reference TO the injunction
started by Sioux Falls national banks
in an effort TO restrain the state
banking department from putting in
TO effect its ruling that on and after
November Is all state banks would
be required to carry at least so per
cent of its legal reserve-10 per cent
of its deposits-within state banks
designated as reserve banks by the
department.
Papers in the injunction were
served on State Bank Examiner j. l..
Wingfield here Tuesday night by
Sheriff I. c. Wyckoff of Brown oun
ty. They were signed by Judge j..
w. Jones of Sioux Falls.
This Injunction proceeding goes
much further than what appears on
its face TO only protest against the
so per cent reserve ruling becoming
effective. In reality ii attacks the
entire new bank guaranty law passed
by the last legislature as chapter 1O2,
session laws of 1915.
The title of this act is: AN act
providing for the establishment of a
department of banking and finance,
defining the powers and duties of
such department and the officers
thereof, and providing compensation
and expenses of such officers; pro-
viding for the organization, regula-
ton and control of banks, trust COM
panies and the banking business, and
to bring the business of banks and
trust companies more fully under the
control of the department of banking
and finance; to prevent fraudulent
banking and provide penalties there
for and to authorize the payment of
rewards for the apprehension of per-
sons accused of violation thereof;
providing for the establishment of a
depositors' guaranty fund TO guaran-
tee payment of general deposits and
the establishment of a commission TO
supervise and control such fund;
providing for the liquidation of in
solvent banks
The action started in the circuit
court at Sioux Falls is, ii is under
stood, but one of three actions now
being contemplated by groups of
bankers in various sections of the
state, and in each action an attempt
will be made TO have chapter 102,
session laws of 1915, declared uncon-
st%itutional.
The bankers of the state, while
bringing these actions separately and
with separate counsel, are all united
in the one effort to knock out, IL pos
sible. the entire bank guaranty law
which was drawn up for the purpose
of protecting depositors against losses
arising from irregularities in the
banking business.
They contend that this law, and
especially the ruling of the state
banking department requiring state
banks to deposit so per cent of Its
legal reserve in state banks designat-
ed as reserve banks, will work a hard
ship on all banking establishments In
this state as we'll as in the financial
centers of the east, disarranging III
nancial conditions and relation:
which have existed for years.

that so far from being faced with an
unemployment problem. there is actually
a scarcity of workmen. Berlin has no
longer 5000 unemployed as in the first
days of August. but literally only 5000,
made up for the most part of professional
| loafers or unemployables. These figures
seem almost fantastic, but we must re-
member the great number of men called
to the colors.
''Yoy cannot study these favorable
conditions better than at our Refuge for

number. that is 90 persons daily"
I remarked that there seemed to be as
much building going on in Berlin as ever,
and that in spite of the war the big ex-

carried on as theoretically as ever.

We are building two large underground
lines which are to be under municipal

The other line runs from Moabit to
Treptow. 1t also is of great impor-

Sunday, August is, 1913.
Astrology reads the stars as of happy

appeal to audiences should benefit.

were. a Baltic port.
"A not less important building Is
the great market hall in the north
west quarter. which will be the larg-
est hail in the world, and will cost
255. 100000 marks"
The talk passed to- the manner In
which the wounds of the war will be
healed. In the first place, there is
the front. On this point ExceIlenz
wermuth spoke as follows:
The outlay for this purpose is enor-
nous. as you may see from the fact
that We give out each month a round
sum of 6.0O0. 900 marks. The women and
children left behind do not want for
anything They receive a legal support
from the municipal council, with extra
allowance for each child.
and finally most of the employers also
pay a certain sum to the wives of their
workmen. The city of Berlin. for ex-
ample. pays to the wives of its officials
and workmen so per cent of their hus-
bands wages. When. in addition to this,
one considers that woman's work was
never so much in demand as at pres
ent for the requirements Of our army
provide work for every woman) you will
believe me when / say that no one suf-
fers any distress.
Still further. the married men in the
field send almost all of their allowance
the amounts which the field post brings
home"
Women Mt Mems Work.
Cpop my remark that in Berlin at
present one saw many tasks in the
hands OF women which were formerly
done by men. Excellenz Wermuth re-
piled:
The principal occupation in which
women have replaced their husbands is
that Of tram-conductor. There is moth
ing unusual about this. and it has been
adopted by the Greater Berlin trans as
well as by the smaller council trans.
The women cannot stand the same long
hours as the men, but they nevertheless
fulfill their duties excellently. 1t is the
same with the female window cleaners.
This occupation is distinctly feminine.
and as we have no New York skysCrap-
ers. it is not particularly dangerous"
The conversation then turned to the
most important duty of the state in war
time. namely, the provision of food for
the people.
THE myth that We are suffering here

from a lack Of wheat or other important
food staples. I need only perhaps trouble
to destroy. as you have had the oppor-
tunity OF seeing for yourself. Our
friends the enemy will also gradually
discover that In this connection they
cannot hope to lay US low.
Yes, you may take my word for it,
those bread cards which have been so
much abused and laughed at in other
countries have made all of us who have
helped to get them out exceedingly
proud Now that the whole thing has
been so successful, / may betray to you
the fact that we ourselves did not at
first believe 1t would be possible to carry
out and carry through sucn a whole
sale measure of restraint
And what a success the cards have
proved How fully they have demon
strated that the German people under
stand the reason for the measure and
that such a small Inconvenience was
nothing in comparison with the sacrifices
which our sons and brothers out there
at the front must take upon them.
selves. The bread cards really have
proved in the highest degree the natural
discipline OF our people.

No one murmured. every one saw that
the best solution had been found. The

The bread cards. intended to guarantee
a sensible conservation and division of

time high educational value.
For the widows and orphans OF
those fallen in battle there is a statu-
tory pension in force which will con-

The expenditure to which we shall

Wermuth went on. I'VE are by no

huge amounts. When you consider
