The resolution warning the public
against wildcat stock statesmen was

tice of the members of the State
Banking Board hat scores of promot-
ers and stock statesmen are travelling
; over the state representing to pros
pective purchasers hat the stock they
are Offering is endorsed by the mem
bers of the State Banking Board or
by the state administration and
; whereas it a come to the no
tice of the members of the State
Banking Board that because of these
representations and largely on the
claim that such associations are fos-
tered and encouraged by the state ad-
ministration or some political party
or faction. and
Whereas. certain influential men,
political and non-political organiza-
tons have, for a profit to themselves
permitted their names to be taken as
sponsors for such associations,
schemes and promiscuous promotions
Whereas many of the securities
ogered are wholly speculative in ma
or value or feasibility of plan upon
which to base a practical going bust
ness, and whereas man of our people
are investing their money in such
stock and enterprises, and
Whereas, such speculative securi-
ties are being sold in this state in
violation of what is known as our

STATEMENT ISSUED
AFTER VALLEY CITY
BANK INVESTIGATION
Waters Would Rather Go
to Jail Than Hand Over
Testimony.
Hastings Said Townley Au-
thorized Deal-Chief
Says He Didn't.
(By Geo. A. Benson)

In accordance with a resolution
passed by the North Dakota Banking
Board during its investigation of the
Valley City bank deal, which netted
John Hastings and Thomas Allen Box
$4,000. Theodore 3. Elton. states at
torney for Grand Forks county, today
publishes an official statement warn
ing the public against statesmen who
through the state are offering stock
in all kinds Of wildcat schemes. Many
of these statesmen, the resolution
points out. represent to irrespective
purchasers that the stock they are Of
ferinE is endorsed by the members of
the State Banking Board or by the
state administrations"
This was one of the resolutions
passed at that meeting of the State
Banking board. The other. which was
supported by Attorney General Will
lam LANCER and Secretary of State
Thomas Hall. authorized the state ex-
aminer to make public the testimony
in the investigation of Hastings and
nor Frazier voted against this resolu-
ton.
Despite the fact that ]. r. Waters,
the examiner. was authorized to make
the testimony public, he has refused
to do so. Last week. he informed The
herald representative, during a con-
! versation in his office at the capitol.
h a he would go to Jail" before he
gave it out. He declared further that
he would protect A. C. Townley.
| The Herald. in it's first account Of
the Banking Boards investigation.
said that Hastings had testified that
Townley sent him to. Valley City to
, put the deal across. In a subsequent
story, The Herald repeated thai state
ment. and it repeats it again today.
Hastings made that declaration on
the stand while under oath, and it is
that statement that should be given to
the public officially.
After the Valley City deal became
public. Townley went before his secret
caucus at Bismarck and declared that
he had nothing to do with the deal.
The more he talked, the less we be-
lieved him." said a Lacquer after the
caucus adjourned.
