Cathro, the man of the big salary
and the big appetite, is circularizing
this part of the country right now with
dope on the Bank of North Dakota
purporting to show what large pro-
fit the bank has made to date. His
figures look interesting, but the most
interesting feaures are not contained
in the report.
Cathro's report does not feature the
fact that nearly every dollar handled
by the bank is public funds-state, city
county, village, township or school
district. He states that the volume
of deposits in the bank is wonderful
achievement, and forgets to add that
they are there for the good and suffi-
cient reason that the last session of
the legislature legislated them there.
Cathro fails to explain that the net
profits of nearly fifty thousand dollars
come almost to cent by taking a
share of the interest away from every
political subdivision of the state of
North Dakota. Emmons county alone
loses more than thousand dollars of
it annually. And Townships, school
districts, and others lose practically
all the rest.
The Bank of North Dakota is the
greatest "middleman" of them all, an
expensive middleman that gives no re-
quisite service in return.
The bank has cash and due from
other banks in the sum of more than
thirteen million dollars and has loaned
on farm mortgages the sum of $25, 472.
05, according tot the statement pub
lished.
And information of thtis kind is
what Cathro dubs adverse advertis-
ing" If such information is adverse
advertising, then your family physi-
clan is giving you adverse advertis-
ing" when he tells the community
that you have the smallpox, and pins
such sign on the door of your house.

Recent disclosures In this state show
very plainly why A. C. Townley de-
manded so vociferously a couple of
years ago that he be permitted to die
tate who the members of the supreme
court would be. The placing of Town
ley candidates on the supreme bench
was the most serious mistake of all,
P. E. Halldorson, oldest deputy state

inc state bank in North Dakota by
the state banking board. He did so,

A socialist committee in New York
has been carrying on a propaganda in
favorof its principles, and to further
its aims, the committee has taken a
straw vote among it's disciples on sew
eral important questions.
The local league newspaper fea-
tured several of the points made by
this committee in their attempt to in
fiuence the action of the government.
One of the questions is particularly
pertinent because of the fact that the
league newspaper has been pretending
to be the only simon-pure champion
of the farmers interest. The local
league newspaper prints the questions
and answers given, and, among them
We find the following:
"Do you favor the gradual and pro-
gressive trasfer of taxes from improve
ments and all products of labor to
land values. Answers: Yes, 81 per
cent; no, 10 per cent"
This kind of propaganda in the local
league newspaper must prove interest
ing highly to the farmers who have
agreed to support the paper. 1t is
truly a unique situation when the chief
land owners of this state are helping
to finance a newspaper to carry on a
campaign for the transfer of taxes
from all improvements and products
of labor" with the intent to saddle it
on the land.
The local league newspaper also
featured data purporting to favor the
American Labor Party, government
ownership or soviet ownership of rail-
roads, and taxation not only for reven-
ue but to equalize the distribution of
wealth. In other words, the latter
idea is to tax so-called wealth, more
than its share for revenue purposes
to the end that the wealthy man would
be extracted from his wealth and the
man who didn't have anything would
get his fingers in it.
The core Of socialism demands the
community ownership of land espec-
tally. For fifty years past the farmer
has been the main enemy of that the
DRY. Now, it seems, through the wiz
ardry of Comrade TownDey, the farm
ers have Joined hands with the social
lists. 1t is an example of the Zion
and the lamb lying down together"

1t is strange, but true, that Townley
recruits his operators primarily from
those who have been rank failure in
life. OF those who have operated in
Emmons county, we find Argast a
failure as farmer near Motif, Heck
a failure as hotel keeper, Hardt, a
failure at everything, and the leagues
local editor man who discourses upon
the theme that he is ian old man now
and hasn't much of this worlds goods. y
1t is alright for the man who is
next to busted to continue to pull for
the Townley system, for he has every.
thing to win and nothing to lose, any
way. But the man who is a property
owner and who has made fair progress
through his own industry and perse-
verance, it seems foolhardy in the ex.
treme to follow this most radical OF
the radical agitators.

acts Of the bank, the league newspap-
ers would probably now be touting
Halldorson for United States Senator
or the supreme court.
Halliday, another deputy under Wa
tiers, wrote the bank that they were
to "shoot their bad paper out to other
league banks" during examinations by
state au horities. Correspondence
found in the bank proved that the or
ganization was to be appraised in ad-
vance when an examination was to be
made and that Duluth bank was to
furnish $4,000 for four to FIVE days
to help the bank keep up its front
during the examination.
In the meantime, such men as Char
ley Heck had been given loans of near
ly ten thousand dollars until the total
Of such loans amounted to thsee-quar-
tiers of a million.
And, finally, three of the league
members Of the supreme court gave
the outfit a clean bill of health pri-
marily because the state bank exam
liner sided with the Wallingford bank,
and the court held that the bank ex-
aminer only could start the ball roll
ing when crooked bank was brought
to light.

Judge Nuessle, in district court, has
held that the Bank of North Dakota
has the same standing as any other
state bank in North Dakota, and it
therefore follows if the bank goes

North Dakota would have to make
good the loss under the provisions of
the Depositors' Guaranty Act.
