Activity of Bankers.


The activity of bankers in assist
ing New Rockford to circulate peti-
tions has been a matter of comment
for several weeks. Letters going out
from the New Rockford headquarters
always bear this significant P. S.:
"Our petition will be found in your
local banks. Would be glad If you
would interest your friends to sign
the same"
Banks as rule do not permit peti-
tions of any kind to be circulated
among their customers. Why this ex-
ception? The activity of certain
bankers has aroused suspicion
throughout the state and the farmers
are asking why banks should be Sc
lected as the center in each town
from which to direct the capital re-
moval fight.
What is there in it for the bankers?
That is the question the voters are
asking.
bonds for capital purposes would be
a neat financial coup. In any event
capital removal means large expen-
diture of state funds, and of course
bankers are always direct beneficiar-
les, but the voters must pay the
freight.
This merely brings home with
greater emphasis the danger that
turks in signing petitions. Capital re.
moval means increased taxes. It will
impose a burden on the tax payers
without giving him anything in return.
1t is just as we'll to scrutinize the
activity of the bankers in this fight
in the light of a possible bond issue.
The state now has a debt Of
$12O,0O0 in excess of the constitu.
tional limit.
Why should the voters sign peti.
tions and start something they can
not finish?
Why are the bankers in the eastern
money centers SO interested?

LOOK FOR TROUBLE
OVER NEW RULING
Allied Governments May Raise
Objections to Recent German
Submarine Plan.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Diplomatic
negotiations Of various characters
soon will confront the United States
as the result of the expected inten-
ton of the German and Austrian gov
ernments to treat armed ships of the
Entente allies as war vessels after
February 20.
Apparently, it is certain if the tenn
per of the Allies governments can be
judged by the feeling of their diplo.
matte representative here, any at
tempt by the United States to change
the rule permitting the use of Ameri-
can ports by ships armed for defens-
i've purposes will be met by strong
protest.
On the other hand, the United
States itself may take the initiative
should the Entente allies impose a
virtual boycott in American ports, in
the event of this government deciding
that armed merchant ships entering
American waters are ships Of war
and therefore subject to internment
The definite attitude of the United
States toward the stated intention of
Germany and Austria will be deter
mined after the formal text of the
note which has been handed to Am.
bassador Gerard and Ambassador
Penfield are received from Berlin and
from Vienna. Once the texts are be-
fore officials, it is believed the posi-
tion of this government will be dee.
fined.
American officials seemed inclined
to the view that the contention of
the German and Austrian govern
ments is well founded and informa-
tiOn came today that the United
States might warn it's nationals to
remain off merchant ships that are
armed.

woman's fortune with tea leaves.

why we call it the cup that cheers

The seeress laughed with girlish-

and ressurrected a dimple.
"Oh, always make up my fortunes
as I go along. though-sometimes-
really strike it when I'm trying my
own Want me to tell yours
