Following the conference Monday
between the industrial commission
and a special committee of the State
Bankers association, the general pol
icy of the bank of North Dakota was
given out in statement by Secretary
Morris.
1t was decided that the state bank
will work in complete harmony with
existing institutions and seek to be q
parent bank for the entire bank sys.
tenn Of the state and in no way to
enter into competition with or in
fringe on existing banking institutions
or customs.
#. No Branches s4
No branch banks will be established
by the State Bank Of North Dakota;
public money now in deposit in state
banks will not be called into Bismarck
Municipal, and other public funds will
remain where it is now. The Bank of
North Dakota will not do a CONNER
cial banking business in competition
with existing banks. It will not ac-
cept individual deposits from citizens
Of North Dakota, but it may accept
deposits from citizens who reside out

deposit their funds with it, however
The general program as adopted is
to use the bank primarily to stimulate

and to be helpful in any possible man.

j. Stabilize Rates
It will seek to stabilize interest
rates and to base credit upon financial
responsibility rather than, upon per
sonality or political prestige. In the
declaration Of intention adopted Mon

factor. It's to be the object of the
bank to mobilize the assets of the
state and to furnish clearing house
for the banking business Of the state.
The meeting was harmonious and
the bankers attending showed an earn
est desire to cooperate with the state
in making the bank successful.
Some Of the points which have been
the state bankers were dis
posed of. The point of competition

Government Looking Forward
to Problems Which Great
1919 Harvest Will Present

| With a wheat crop of over billion
bushels in prospect in the United
States this seasoIl-the greatest crop
the country has ever prOduced-the
need for efforts by farmers and eleva-
tor companies to market and store
the grain with, the least possible loss
|and congestion Of traffi is impressed
by the bureau of markets of the United
States department of agriculture In
ealing attention to this great market
ing problem the department says that
every possible measure should be taken
to insure the safe storage and handling
of this enormous crop.
Last year. with a crop Of about 900,
100000 bushels. the rushing of the
grain to market Immediately after har-
vest caused. a congestion all the way
from the terminal markets to the farm.
The wheat '''backed up" after the ter
minal elevators were full and con-
gested the railroads and all country
elevators. The result was that em-
bargOes were placed on further ship
1nents until the terminals could be
cleared. Fortunately, the winter was
an open one or the loss due to lack of
proper storage would have been heavy.
Attention is called by the bureau Of
markets to the situation that prevailed
in North Dakota in the winter of 1915
16, following crop in that state Of
15OOOO,O00 bushels. Owing to 4 con-
gestion of elevators at country sta
tiOns, due to the inability of the rail
roads to carry the wheat away as rap
idly as the farmers hauled it in, plat.
forms were built and hundreds of tli0u-
sands of bushels of wheat were piled
up in the open. In addition great
quantities OF wheat were stored in
improvised bins.
One result of this condition was
that during the following summer

FOSTER COUNTY
TO HELP. BUILD

Commissioners Vote to Appro-
pirate Portion of Federal
Aid to Important Project

II. K. Craig, engineer connected with
the state highway commission, was iI
attendance at the meeting of the Eos
ter county board last week when tht
matter of highway construction was
before the board. Foster county will
undertake an extensive program OF
road building and the commissioners
authorized an appropriation for 191!
of $4,000; for 1920, of $4,000, and
for 1921, of $4,000. The appropriation
for 1921 may be cut to $4,000, in case
the federal aid appropriation for Fos'
ter county is found necessary, to he
diverted to the construction of :,
bridge across the Missouri river he
tween Bismarck and Mandan.
Foster cOunty's road plans include
the completion of the federal highway
project known as No. 2. east and west
through Darlington, a distance of ten
miles and six miles north of Caring
ton. The appropriation above re-
ferred tO also includes money for the
construction of state highway north
from Darlington to the county line
southeast to the Stutsman county line,
thence east ten miles: also the ex-
tension of the county roads east and
west from Darlington to the Griggs
and Wells county lines. With apprO-
priations heretofore made and part of
which has already been expended,
Foster county will devote some $S4 600
to highway construction ending in the
three year period of 1927.
IT is understood that the Stanley
Brothers have a contract for a portion
of the. new road in that county.
Aid for the construction of the Mis-
souri, river bridge is being solicited
from the counties along the Red Trail
and several such counties have al
ready agreed to divert 30 per cent Of
their quota of federal aid to the bridge
project. Among these counties are
Golden Valley. Billings, Burleigh, Nor

SUES, FOR ONE, MILLION K ]

Mt. Clemens, Mich, May 12.-One Of
Fthe most noteworthy libel suits in the
history OF American Jurisprudence,
that of Henry Ford against the Chica-
go Tribune for $1,O00000, was sched-
uled to open before Circuit Judge
Tucker here today With the most Of
the preliminary battles already fought
and decided in Illinois and Detroit
courts, it is anticipated the case will
come to trial with little delay.
Selection of jury to try the
81 100000 libel suit Of Henry Ford
against the Tribune company, publish
ers of the Chicago Daily Tribune, was
expected to consume comparatively
little time, it was said.
The alleged libel was published in
the form OF an editorial in, the Trib-
une on June %, 1916, when the sub
ject for preparedness for war, by rea-
son OF American troubles on the Mex
ican border, and the widespread be-
lief that the United States would be
being discussed by public speakers and
drawn into the European conflict, was
in the newspapers.
Called Him Anarchist
The editorial, which was headed,
Ford Is An Anarchist" follows:
Inquiry at the Henry Ford offices
in Detroit discloses the fact that en-
ployes of Ford who are members of
or recruits in the national guard will
lose their places. No provision will
be made for any one dependent on
them Their wages will stop, their
families may get along in any fash
ion possible, their positions will be
filled. and if they come back safely
and apply for their jobs again they
will be on the same footing as any
other applicants. This is the rule
for Ford employees everywhere.
Conformation was refused as to the
number of American soldiers unf0rtu-
nate enough to have Henry Ford as
an employer at this time, but at the
Detroit recruiting offices it was said
that about Is men will pay this price
for their services to their country.
"Mr. Ford thus proves that he does
not believe in service to the nation in
the fashion soldier must serve 1t.
II his factory were on the southern
and not the northern border we pre-
sumo he would feel the same way. We
do not know precisely what he would
do if Villa band decided that the
Ford strong boxes were worth open
ing and that it would be pleasant to
see the Ford factories burn. 1t is
evident that it is possible for mil
lionaire just south of the Canadian
border to be Indifferent to what hap.
pens just north of the Mexican bor-
der.
IF Ford allows this rule of his shops
to stand he will reveal himself not as
merely an ignorant idealist but as an
anarchistic enemy of the nation which
protects him in his wealth.
"A man so ignorant as Henry Ford
may not understand the fundamentals
of the government under which he
lives. That government is permitted
to take Henry Ford himself and COM
mand his services as soldier if
necessary. 1t can tax his money for
war purposes and will 1t can COM
