EQUITY PACKING PLANT
IS OPERATING

Operations at the Equity Coopera-
tive Packing Plant continue but at a
reduced capacity, according to +. M
Casey, president He said the COM
pany is at present following policy
of curtailed activities.
Operations he said were not entirely
suspended during the change in man
agement, but the company is now re-
ceivinH from three to four carloads of
stock day, although the embargo
on livestock shipments has not been
lifted. At present there are IS men
employed at the plant. The company
has discharged 115 men from it's pay-
roll. ~
Mr.. Casey said that farmers holding
wheat for higher prices and the con-
tinued crop failures in the western
part of North Dakota are responsible
for the temporary curtailment.
Questioned relative to the recent
mortgage of 100000 filed by the Bank
Of North Dakota, he said the loan had
been obtained some time ago. He said
the debts of the company are more
than balanced by it's property and ac-
counts due.

FIVE NORTH DAKOTA BANKS
CLOSED BY EXAMINERS

Bankers of North Dakota and or
the twin cities are taking steps to
meet the conditions that have been
created in banking circles in this
state by the general liquidation in
progress throughout the country and
the movement to hold wheat for high
er prices.
North Dakota, more than almost any
other state. is said by bankers to be
feeling the full effects of both factors.
They point out that the money scar
city in North Dakota has been stead
lily growing for two years past, as
funds were steadily withdrawn by
eastern capitalists, and the present
situation is the elimination of a con-
tinued shrinking supply of ready
funds.
TO date, five banks have been closed
by the state examiner. 1t is claimed
that in each case the assets of the
bank will be sufficient to meet all
claims against it, but the shortage of
ready funds and inability to meet
daily cash requirements have caused
embarrassment.
The Beach State bank of Beach, N.
D., and the Farmers State bank of
Greene. N. D.. have closed their doors,
according to state Bank Examiner O..
F.. Lofthus.
The Beach bank, of which l.. j. M.
Algurie is president. had deposits of
$751;, 1880. It's assets are around
100000 and it's liabilities approx
mately $150.0O0, the examiner was in
formed 1t is said that the institution
may pay out in full or may even be
reopened. The bank said it was un
able to collect farmers notes it held.
The state bank at Greene has asked
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1920-11-25

the state bank examiner to appoint q
receiver. The reason for this institu-
ton closing was it's inability to meet
the unexpected demand for with
drawal of public funds deposited with
the bank. Greene Is in Renville coun-
ty.
Other banks which have been closed
are the Security State Bank of New
England; the Farmers State Bank of
Havelock, and the Tolley State Bank
of Renville county.

CITY as a whole will heartily join

Lions and the Rotary club have
kindred objects, covering practi-

activities bat each is limited in
its membership and hence there
is no conflict between them.
The organization of the Rota-
rians here simply means that we
shall have another group Of fine

advancement and the develop

as we recall il, was the first or
ganization of its kind in the field
and it is strong throughout the
country, having made a name for
itself by its accomplishments and
the devotion of its members to
their principles. Such club is

Chicago's Hold-Up Record.

Chicago, which has an unenviable
record in this line of activity, quite
outdid itself yesterday when, accord
ing to the official reports, twenty FIVE
hold-ups occurred in that city. The
most serious of these crimes was the
theft of $4,000 from the paymaster of
large establishment attacked by five
auto bandits and MORALLY wounded.
His companion was wounded in the leg
and two of the bandits were shot. In
another case a former saloon keeper
was held up by three robbers, who
took $4,000 from him. This money
was a fund collected from a syndicate
for the purchase of truekload Of
whisky. The other robberies were of
a minor character, netting, according
to the police courts, fifteen watches,
ten diamond rings and four diamond
studs. One of the victims was held up
on lonely road while repairing a tire.
The robbers took his straw hat and
summer suit in addition to his pocket
book and jewelry. He managed to
make his way to the police station clad
in his repair overalls.
These robberies mark a climax in
series of crimes from which Chicago
has been suffering recently. 1t is be-
lieved that many of them are the work
of an organized gang. The police have
been unable to cope with the outbreak
of violence and the people of the city
are in panic over the risks they run
whenever they venture out of doors.
But not even in their own homes are
they safe, for burglary has scored a
high record in recent weeks.

Mobocracy.

MobocracY is incomprehensible ex-
The evil of lynching, as we now
know it. had its origin in the blacklist
of crimes. Violence was excused on
the score that men lost their reason
under such proyocaton. But the evil
under liberation, grew: and in no
great while men were lynched for muir
der. for arson. even for theft, and
sometimes even on suspicion
Then the laws delay was offered
as an excuse Justice, it was alleged,
was often cheated in that way. Dur
ing long waits witnesses disappeared;
the public lost interest: the guilty
escaped punishment. Remedy this. we
were told. by prompt indictments,
prompt trials, and prompt execution
of sentences. and lynchings would de-
crease and in time disappear.
The remedy was applied. In many
eases, where the mob spirit had threat
ened, accused persons were promptly
indicted, tried and punished, and every
requirement of law and order met.
And yet lynchings continued. Indeed,
they increased in numbers. and lynch
ers in audacity Mobs no longer wait
ed for nightfall. They discarded the
mask; did their bloody work in day
light, barefaced and unafraid.
A few weeks ago a negro was lynch
ed in North Carolina upon mere sus-
picion. Several days later the victims
employer, white man. showed that
the accused could not have commit
ted the crime alleged.
Sunday, in West Virginia, white
man, the son of former Judge of
local court, was taken from prison,
where he had begun serving life
sentence for wife murder, and hanged.
The lynehing evil is no longer mat
ter of race, or particular crime, or
particular section. Both races, all
crimes or charges or suspicious, and
all sections, are supplying victims.

The Story of America.

The Constitutional League of Amer
lea has applied for a charter in New
York. The object of the organization
is "to place copy of the Constitution
million homes of America" and "to
disseminate n wider knowledge of the
Constitution, the principles under
which il was founded, and the ideals
which inspired it." The organization
is, of course, non partisan. Among the
directors are Franklin X. Lane and
Charles Z. Hughes.
Here is something most decidedly
worth while. and particularly at this
time, when the origin OF our institu-
tions, their meaning. their hundred
and odd years of operation, and how
much, if at all. the world war has af-
fected them should, and will. occupy
public attention for the coming three
months.
Too much light could not be thrown
upon the subject Too little has hith-
erto played upon it, We have come to
take everything in governmental
way for granted. Our institutions, as
q rule, have functioned so smoothly
and successfully for the public veal,
little thought is taken, if, indeed. much
is generally known, of our start as a
nation and the trials and tribulations
of the founders.
The story is one of fascination and
inspiration. 1t ought to be in the
hands of everybody, and especially of
the younger men and women who are
just taking up the duties and response
bilities of citizenship.
1t would be folly to claim too much
for our form of government. or to
magnify the record. We have not at
tanned perfection. But perfection, be-
cause unattainable, was not the aim.
We have. however, developed a great
scheme of things, and under it secur-
ed unexampled prosperity for a great
and capable people. Let US preserve it
in all of its essentials.

Federal Income and Outgo.

The other day the Secretary of the
Treasury announced that for the
twelve months ending June so the
gross public debt of the United States
had been cut $1,1S5, 1S4, 692. while the
governments annual operations show
ed a surplus of 1921 ,221, 547. The debt
itself had been reduced $2,297 $50, $50
from the high peak of August 81 last,
when it amounted to 1886, 701, 64S.
These aa stupendous figures, by far
the greatest that have ever been re-
corded in the history of the United
States. Also beyond all precedent are
the records of the tax receipts during
the last fiscal year. The tremendous
total of $5,410,2S4,s74 was collected.
This was about $3OO,O00.000 more than
had been estimated and was nearly rs
per cent larger than the total of taxes
paid during the war years of 191S-1919.
1t is evident from the receipt figures
why the government has been able to
make so large reduction in the pub
lie debt and why it is running now on
a surplus basis.
The question arises whether the pol
ley should be pursued of continuing
the high tax collections in order to
make large debt reductions. or the
taxes should be reduced to the point
of maintenance expenditures plus a
normal percentage of liquidation. This
question must be answered to some ex-
tent at the next session of Congress,
when provision will be made for the
upkeep of the government during the
coming fiscal year. Yet the issue will
probably not be met at the regular
session. If the administration changes
as a result of the November election
an extra session may be called to CON
sider this matter.
