POPULAR FINANCE

The hyphenated Scandinavian
American Bank of Fargo, North Da-
kota, has been closed by the banking
authorities as insolvent, with liabili-
ties aggregating 81 $685. And that
was bank whose total capital and
alleged surplus was 100000.
The examiners who investigated the
bank report bad assets aggregating
$7S4,194.S2, as to which the examiners
say: !.
The above represents the excess
loans carried by the bank and consti-
tutes more than 60 per cent of the
total loans. Their general character
is extremely unsatisfactory. The Sc
curitity in almost every case is en-
tirely inadequate and in most in
stances constitutes second liens on the
property held as collateral. Total lack
of judgment and unwarranted optim-
ism are responsible for the extension
of credit displayed by the list of TWEEN
ty excess loans which appears in each
instance to be increasing rather than
decreasing. In every case neither the
financial standing of the makers nor
the collateral held by the bank for the
loans justifes the credit extended.
Among the borrowers whose finan-
cial standing is thus described, with
the amount of their indebtedness, are
the following:
Non-Partisan League. -. $14S, O24.26
Community Stores Com
pany ..... 1tV,oVO.OO
League Exchange ....-.., 66,182.28
Publishers National Ser 9
vice Bureau ........... 47,95O.O6
The last three are subsidiary COR
porations of the Non-Partisan League.
The alleged securities given against
these loans are of the variety known
in financiel circles as ''cats and dogs"
