FAILS THRU n. P. LOANS?
Fargo Bank Forced To Close Because
of Inadequate Security for $z34, 194.


Fargo, N. D.. Oct. 3.-The Scandi-
navian-American bank of Fargo, with
liabilities aggregating more than ST.
100000, has been declared insolvent
by the banking board of North Da-
kota. It was ordered closed and
placed in the hands of a temporary
receiver. The bank has an authorized
capital of $4,000 and surplus of
$4,000.
In its last statement of condition
the bank showed total resources and
liabilities of s1.509.209.68, which have
since been increased to over ST..
1000, according to the report filed
with the state banking board by A. L.
Sheets as assistant attorney general.
and by Deputy Bank Examiners Hall,
Dorson and Ingemon.
Citing a list of loans aggregating
$734,194.82, the report to the banking
board by the examiners says
THE above represents the excess
loans carried by the bank and consti-
tutes more than so per cent of the total
loans. Their general character is ex-
tremely unsa tisfactory. The security
in almost every case is entirely made
quate, and in most instances consti-
tutes second liens on the property held
as collateral"
The list in question includes the fol-
lowing loans: Non-Partisan League,
pany, $170.000: League Exchange.
s66.1S2.2S; Publishers National Serv-
ice Bureau, $47.950.06. The last three
are classed as subsidiary corporations
of the Non-Partisan League, and the
reports cite that the collateral Is large
ly post-dated checks and notes given
by farmers, which, the report says are
controlled by an agent of the Con-
sumers' United Stores Company and

JOHNSON FOLLOWING COLD
TRAIL IN CARROLL COUNTY
Carroll County New, Discussed john
-on's Proposal to Abolish the State
Tax Commission. Shows Why john
son is Opposed to the Commission.

On the occasion of Mr. Johnson's
recent visit to Carroll county, the edl-
tor of the Carroll County News at
tended the speaking and gives a very
interesting account of his speech and
its reception by the Carroll County
people. After reviewing the speech,
the News says this about the Tax
Commission:
so generous was the speech that the
name of neither. of his three opponents
were called In fact, no one connected
with the present state administrator
other than the Pardoning Board and
FAX Commission were censured FOL
anythin. And, according to his own
contention, about the only row ne had
to pick with the Tax Commission Is
traceable to the discredit of the Board
of Supervisors of Washington County
who connived with unscroupulous tax
dodgers in evading our taxing system
even after the Supreme Court had held
the act constitutional. Possibly Lieu
tenant Johnson did not know it, but IN
attacking the State Tax Commission IN
Carroll County he was on cold trli
indeed. Instead of being aginst the
Tax Commission. the people of this
county are overwhelmingly in favor OF
it. It is one of the few measures OF
real constructive legislation that Lieut..
Johnson helped to father, and we thank
him for il. but it is little disgusting
to behold how far the parent wanders
in the attempt to disown his child.
The State Tax Commission, through
systematic equalization of taxes &C
cording to values throughout the state,
is annually saving ,Crroll County
thousands of dollasr, therefore it IS not
strange that our people re delighted
with the accomplishment of the COM
mission. On the other hand, Goa
.homa County, the home Of Lieut..
johnson. has no just cause to complain
at the four-for-one raise iii assess

Lieut.. Oscar johnson, the secret
caucus candidate for governor, adj
dressed forty-two voters and eight la
dies at McClurg Park here last Fri
day fternoon. A good sprinkling OF
the crowd were out-spoken Russell
men who attended the speaking solely
through curiosity, though the great
majority were men Of the most pro-
lnounced anti-Vardaman, anti-Russell
type to be found in Mississippi.
Letters had been written, big posters
displaying the gallant lieutenant in
army attire, decorated the interior of
the postoffice, hung conspicuously in
many show windows Of the business

ing the coming OF their great hero, anu
notning left undone to attract a crown.
But ..me-thinks" all were just little
disappointed, not alone at the size OF
the crowd, but the tameness OF the
speech as well.
He spoke for a solid hour, and not
one ripple Of applause greeted him un-
til he compared Jerry Coleman's forty
dollar mule to one Of his own, valued
at three hundred dollars, which, OF
course, made Mr.. Coleman's mule ap-
pear ridiculous and occasioned laugh
ter. Up to this time, however, the
meeting was so typical Of a funeral
that we actually cast about to see if
we could distinguish the pail bearers.
The platform promises Of Lieuten'
ant Johnson are about all that red
blooded, progressive Mississippians
could ask for. They cover every ill,
and blm, every discomfort the state
is heir to. But the golden rule says:
BY their fruits we shall know them,"
and with possibly few exceptions, the
fruit" of Lieut.. Oscar Johnson has
always been crab-apples.
At the close of the speech there was
considerable Misunderstanding. Many
