STEAM WINCH MAKES WORK
OF STEvEDORES EASY

Scarcity of labor during the war
made the unloading of vessels a prob
lem at times. but a simple device
shown in tho June Popular Mechanics
magazine helped TO solve II.
BY hitching a steaIu winch to the
lower end OF the incline. and thus
lifting stevedore and load foot
above the level Of the dock. the work
is made so easy that unloading time
is cut in half. II will be observed that
the steel anron which enables the
truck to roll upon the incline also
prevents II from rolling back during
the ascent Naturally, the incline Is
lowered for the next man the instant
the stevedore touches the dock.

among experts that the little Sopwith

DAKOTA BANKS
VICTORY WILL
BE TW0-EDGED
Opponents of League Financier-
ing Schemes Say Institu-
ton Is Off Wrong
STATE CANNOT BACK 1T
Attention Called to Impossibility
of Exceeding $2,0OO,00O
Debt Limit

While friends of the Bank of North
Lakota hail as victory Judge
Nuessle's ruling in district court yes
tcrday that this is private banking
institution and that section of the
state laws requiring the state auditor
to examine all repositories for public
funds does not apply, opponents of the
leagut system of state banking declare
that the decision is really boomerang
which will react against the first state
owned institution established in the
league program of industrial democ-
racy."
1t is contended that under the bank
ing laws of North Dakota, which Judge
Auessle holds to cover the state bank,
all deposits accepted by bank con-
slitute a liability. In the case of the
Bank of North Dakota its deposits
are directly guaranteed by the state,
and it is held that such deposits there
fore constitute liability against the
state.
COllSIltullull w eiiN
league initiative petitions last Novem-
Der provides that the state shall not
issue bonds or incur other unsecured
liability in excess of $2,OOO0OO. That
debt limit was reached when the in
dustrial commission issued $2,000O0O
worth of state bonds to form the capi-
tai of the new Bank of North Dakota
and sold these to the bank.
HAS $15000,0O0 Nj DEPOSITS
The Bank of North Dakota since
its opening has accepted deposits, con-
slsting principally of public funds. for
which it is made the sole and only rer
lository under the bank act, .aggregat-
ing $15,O0O,OOO. 1t is now contended
that under Judge Nuessle's ruling
these $15,0OO,0OO in deposits constitute
an unsecured liability against the
state, which is directly in violation
OF the constitution, and that the oper-
alton Of the Bank of North Dakota,
as it now exists, il illegal and uncon-
stitutional.
The attorney generals office, which
acted for State Auditor Kositzky in
Ills application to district court for
a writ of mandamus which would per-
NIT him to continue his examination
Of the Bank of North Dakota's books,
probably will appeal from Judge
Nuessle's decision denying this writ.
1t is probable that in supreme court
issues may be argued which will
clearly define the exact status of the
bank.
+ The point is made that if this bank
is not a department of the state gov
ernment but is merely private bank
ing house, the state has no right under
the constitution to assume the banks
liabilities or to permit the bank to In
