LET'S HE ~RrAsoNABLE.

Among the Initiated laws just en-
acted by the people OF the state Is one
amending the law creating the Bank
OF North Dakota AS the law now
stands Il requires III public funds TO
be Deposited In the Bank Of North
Dakota. This applies TO the funds Of
The state Itself, and to the funds Of
counties. cities. etc, as well. There
has been general compliance with the
law, although In certain cases local
conditions have caused possponement.
The Bank Of North Dakota has there
fore received Q deposit large sums
in Sthe aggregate from the various
municipalities lof he state.
Tho law Just submitted and D
ed exeinpts all local funds rom these
requirements. State funds mus still
be deposited in the states own b1nk.
but the funds Of local bodies may be
deposited wherever directed by the
local authorities It follows that az
soon as the enactment Of this new
law is officially proclaimed, such To-
cal funds may be withdrawn from the
Bank Of North Dakota and deposited
elsewhere.
In their attitude on this subject the
people Of tho s:ate, and especially the
officials who have charge Of the AZ
fairs of counties. cities, townships and
school districts, will have an oppor.
tunity for the exercise of business
judgement and moderation. No bank,
whether operated by the state or by
private individuals. keeps Us deposits
In its vaults. The money which: 1t re-
ceives must be loaned and circulated
in other business-like ways. Banking
experience has indicated about what
percentage Of deposits 1t is necessary
for a bank to keep on hand in order
to meet current demands upon it,
and good banking practice requires
that approximately this sum be kept
available.
II unusual withdrawal demands are
made on the Bank Of North Dakosa
following tho taking effect Of the new
law the result will necessarily be EN-.
barrassing. To meet these demands
the bank muGt in turn call in the de-
posts which It has with other banks
in this state and elsewhere, ana the
whole monetary situation will be
temporarily deransed. This a be
avoided. It must be avoided. The
whole situation will work itself out
IT there are no Withdrawals whateve,
FOR re-deposit. If local bodies Wi.
make no demands whatever ON the
Bank Of North Dakota for funds 9th.
or than those needed to meet Their
current obligations. local funds in that
bank will become exhausted within a
short time. Local officials can in the
meantime make such arrangements
for the handling Of their i~ncruing reve
nues As may be satisfactory to them
In this way the purpose Of the amend.
ed law will be accomplished without
embarrassment to one Of the institu.
lions Of the state, ana without any
disturbance in the financial situation
generally.
A rational, moderate attitude on the
part Of all concerned will prevent con.
fusion and facilitate our return to q
permanent and stable basis. Among
all things there must be no carrying
Of factional differences into the bust.
ness affairs Of the state.

Somewhere between four thousand
and five thousand votes were cast in

Those votes were cast by persons who
wished to declare themselves for the
Socialist organization. The number
does not include others who approve
Of the general principles of Socialism,
hut who votes for other candidates,
recognizing the futility Of voting for
Dcbs. For what candidate for COVER

is but n answer.
These votes could not, with any
Of consistency, have been
cast for anyone but Frazier. And there
we're just enough Of them to elect

II WoS the 0fSC week In september
that Michael, passing through "a
crowded thoroughfare, came face to
face with Mr.. Erfdicott.
The days had passed into weeks
and Michael had not gone near his
benefactor. He had felt that HE Inust
drop out Of his old friends life until
a time came that he could show his
gratitude for the past. Meantime he
had not been idle. His winning smile
and clear eyes had been his passport;
and after q few preliminary expert
ences he had secured q position az
salesman in a large department store.
His college diploma and a letter from
the college president were his refer
ences. He was not earning much,
but enough to pay his absolute ex-
penses and q trifle over. Meantime
he was gaining experience.
This Saturday morning Of the first
week of September he had acome~to
the store as usual, but had found that
on account Of the sudden death of q
member OF the firm the store would
be closed for the day.
He WAS wondering how he should

A PREMATURE FUNERAL.

Mr.. Christensen, presidential candi-
date Of the Farmer-Labor party, con-
Quoted funeral exercises the other day
over the remains of the Democratic
party. That party, he said, is dead,
and can never be revived. Its place is
to be taken by the new party Of which
Mr.. Christensen was the candidate.
We . imagine the Dsmocra. iA
corpse winking as those words were
pronounced over it will all the Ap-
pearance Of solemnity.
In this country there have been
many political funerals which proved
premature. Along in the late sixties
of the last century the Democratic
party, having expired, was buried with
due form. But Its resurrection was
accomplished in time for Il to assist
in the election Of Cleveland, and still
later of Wilson. In the intervening
time it was several times on the point
Of swing up the ghost, but it refused
TO accommodate. @ y
The Republican party was declared
to be quite dead some thirty years
ago. The Ropulist party was to take
its place. Then ths funeral directors
changed their minds and undertook
to substitute the Democratic for the
Republican party. Strangely, it was
the Populist party that died.
K Still later we had a progressive
party. That party did come near elm.
mating the Republican party. from
the election returns in one campaign,
1t was hailed a. the coming party.
But before four years had passed the
Progressive party had disappeared.

NATIONAL BANKS
EARNED BILLION
Year 1919 Most Successful in
HistOry-Some Amazing
Figures

Washington. Jan. 1.-Natonal banks
earned practically $1,000, 900 600 during 1919;
so John SHELTON Williams. controller OF
the currency, announced last night. In all,
according to MIR. Williams, the year just
closing was the most successful In the
history Of the national banks. The re-
sources total nearly $22, 500, 0Oo 900, and dur
ing the fiscal year not a single failure
involving loss to any depositor occurred.
1.-THE number of banking institutions
under the supervision of this Office at the
close Of business yesterday is exactly
5000. including 7MS national banks In the
United States, Alaska and Hawaii. and 80
savings banks, building and loan COM
panies. and trust companies in the Dis
trict of Columbia" says a statement by
Mr.. Williams. "There have been chartered
under the present administration, or since
March 4. 1918. more than 1000 new ma
tonal banks.
This year has been for the national
banks of the country. The resources and
deposits of these banks have shown un-
precedented growth. On the date of the
Novmeber II. Q91g call. the compilation
Of which Is not yet completed. national
bank resources aproximated $22,J00, 900, 900
nearly $1,000 100000 more than ever before
reported.
THESE banks have grown more in the
last six years, or say from August .. 1913,
to November II. 1919 than they did in the
entire 50-year period from the Inaugural
ton of the national banking system, in
1863. up to 1913.
"Tho increases in deposits and total
assets are scattered widely throughout
the country. The increase in resources
of the country banks, those national
banks outside of the reserve cities, since
June 30 last has been close to $500. 100000.
increased in the last six months 1874. 900 600.
or "a per cent. and in North Carolina the
increase in these six months has been
over s5l 100000. or 3s per cent.
THE record for immunity from failure
for the 22months from January J. 1915 to
the close of the last fiscal year. October
81, 1919, was 30 times, or 5000 per cent
better than the record for the 40 years
prior to 1914. There was no failure in
volving a dollars loss to depostors of
any national bank in the fiscal year clos
ing October 81 1919.
THE earnings of the national banks
for the last year have also exceeded all
previous records, and approximate $1,000
100000 gross and not far from $500, 600 coo
net
1.-The record furnishes added testimony
to the high efficiency and invaluable aid
of the federal reserve system to the
country's commerce. industry, agriculture
and business of every kind
