no POLITICS IN
MY STAND HALL
ANNOUNCES TODAY
Secretary Of State Defends
Self In Attitude on Signing
of Bank Bonds. u.s..

BISMARCK, ~. H., June L.-tope-
cial. al.)-Declaring that he was not
acting through political motives n
declining to sign the Bank OF North
Dakota bonds, pending a decision Of
the supreme court on their legality,
and that he would cooperate with
the attorney generals office in has
tening the mandamus proceedings to
be heard next Wednesday morning
to a prompt termination, Secretary
of State Thomas Hall today issued
the following statement of his stand
in the matter:
''The constitution as originally
adopted authorized the state to con-
tract debts not in excess of 100000,
exclusive of what may be the debt
at the time of this constitution
This section was repealed by the con-
stitutional amendment fixing new
debt limit last fall, and the consti-
tuition now provides that the state
may issue bonds, provided that all
bonds in, excess of 100000 shall
be secured by real estate mortgages.
''There are now outstanding bond
ed debts of the state in excess Of
$412,00O; there is nothing in the
constitution as amended to indicate
that the 100000 debt limit is ex-
elusive of the debts existing at the
time of the adoption of the amend
ment, or at any time in the past,
and, unless fortified by the decision
of our supreme court, do not pur-
pose to stultify myself nor to en-
danger my surety bond by certifying
that the 100000 bank bond issue,
which is not to be secured by real
estate mortgages in any way, is
within the debt limit.
There is no politics in my deci-
sion, and no desire or wish to thwart
the will of the. people nor hinder or
delay the carrying out of the state
Bank of North Dakota scheme.
Will join with the attorney general 8
Office in fastening this case to a
prompt determination in the su-
preme court, and shall sign the
bonds the day the supreme court is
sues it's mandate requiring me SO to
do. -
"The decision of the supreme
court holding that this bond issue is
within the debt limit will not only lie
a protection to me, but will also be
an assurance to the prospective pur-
chasers of these bonds that they are
valid and obviate the necessity of O.
similar action being brought at a
later time for the same purpose"
