unfair ATTACK MADE
ON JOHN STEEN
State Officials Accuse Candidate for
Governor WrOngfully at Late Hour
Hoping it is Too Late for Him to
Explain. !

Bismarck, N. D., June ID, 1918.
To the People of North Dakota:
Sevral state officials and other
League speakers have been exceeding
ly busy of late, telling the people Of
the state that am wrongfully with
holding certain interest-money earned
by deposit of foreign insurance
company and are attempting to con-
vey the impression that am dishon.
est in the performance of my duties.
THE FACTS IN THIS MATTER
ARE AS FOLLOWS:
When l assumed the office of State
Treasurer my predecessor turned over
to me the sum of $4,000 deposited
with the State Treasurer by the Des
Moines Mutual Hail & Cyclone Insur-
ance Company of Des Moines, Iowa,
to guarantee their contracts in this
state, this being in pursuance Of law
which requires foreign mutuals to
make a deposit of either cash or Sc
curities before they are authorized to
do business in North Dakota.
This being a Trust fund, it was nee
essary to keep it separate from State
funds, and there being no provision
under the law for the keeping or in
vesting of such funds, on my own re-
sponsibility l deposited this money in
banks on demand certificates Of de-
posit drawing interest at four per
cent.
When the insurance company decld-
ed to withdraw from the state this
money had earned $3.50 in interest,
and the question arose, who was en-
titled to this interest? l referred the
matter to Attorney General Linde for
an opinion and he gave as his opinion
that the state was not entitled to 1t,
and he was NOT sure that the company
was, inasmuch as there was no provis-
ion under the law that required the
State Treasurer to invest such funds,
and in case it had been lost through
the failure of any bank, or for any
other cause, l would have been per-
sonally liable for it.
| asked the Insurance Company to
bring a friendly action in order to de-
eide who was entitled to this interest,
and although Attorney General Linde
had given his opinion that this money
did not belong to the State, insisted
that he should claim the money on be-
nall VI LIle OCtlIc, 90 "eli1Su VAS AAe>S-
ter settled.
The case was tried in District Court
of Burleigh County and was decided in
favor of the Insurance Company last
November, and an appeal is now pend
ing in Supreme Court. And if these
state officials who are or appear to be
so much interested in the welfare OF
foreign insurance company would step
into my office they could readily as
certain that the $3.50 is here ready
to be paid to whoever is legally en-
titled to it.
have tried my best to have this
matter settled and it is through no
fault of mine that it has dragged
along for over two years. Had | not
been candidate for Governor, no
one would have attempted to blacken
nv character on account Of the above,
but | feel satisfied that Governor Fra
zier is not party to nor approves Of
this cowardly attempt to assasslnate
my character and reputation.
Respectfully,
JOHN STEEN,
State Treasurer.

Rotary Club Wants New Bridge

Rotary Club Wants New Bridge
The Rotary Club luncheon Monday
noon was of unusual interest. The
meeting was in charge Of Geo. Walker
who read an excellent paper, setting
forth his experiences as florist. Mr.
Walker is one of the most successful
florists in the west and has big plans
for the future.
H. M. Wilson spoke on what the
Rotary club means to Rotarian and
Walter Bond on "What Minot Needs
Most. Mr.. Bond pointed out that
more coal mines should be opened
and operated in this territory and he
urged farmer for every quarter OF
land.
Resolutions were adopted, urging
the commissioners to build an ade-
quate bridge over Mouse river at the
south entrance of Eastwood Park,
which is now SO narrow that two
autos can scarcely pass, making 1t
dangerous for little children going to
school, to pass.
Among the visitors were w. S.
Young Of Surrey and John Ward of
the Firestone Tire Co.

good old earth.
