REFUSAL To
PAY ILLEGAL

/ Bismarck, N. D., Dec. THE reso-
! luton Of the Industrial commission
authorizing the manager of the Bank
! of North Dakota, that the initiated
law regarding public deposits is not
retroactive and authorizing him to
refuse to honor drafts of public treas
urers in his discretion, was charac-,
terized as being without foundation
in law by William LANCER, attorney
general and member of the indus
trial commission yesterday.
Mr.. LANCER declared that he had
not been invited to attend the meet
ing Of the industrial commission, of
never advised the commission that
! the law relating to deposit of public
funds is not retroactive.
! my opinion is Just the contrary.
he said. my opinion as attorrey-gen-
eral is that this initiated law is re.
troactive and that it does affect de-
posits that have been made in the
Bank of North Dakota.
''There is no more sense or reason
why city or county or any other
depositors tnat may wish to withdraw
its deposits from the Bank of North
Dakota should be prohibited, vexed,
harassed or annoyed in so doing than
if said depositor were withdrawing
the money from some other bank.
"The governor says: This initiated
law passed because the people were
misled and misinformed. They were
told that the funds of the bank were
invested outside the state
GAS a citizen of the state who
campaigned among the farmers be-
fore they voted on the initiated
law I know that they were neither
misinformed or misled. On the con-
trary they knew only too well how
the men whom they had entrusted as
the majority of this industrial COM
mission had appoined an ex-livery
stable keeper who had never run a
bank in his life as manager of the
bank and when Mr.. Waters, as he
states, refused to commit crimes
which could put him in the peniten-
tiary, they appointed men iii charge
whom Townley's own newspapers had
characterized as swindlers.
"The honest attempt made by my
self as the minority member of this
board when I asked the state auditor
to examine the bank was frustrated
by the majority members Of this in
dustrial commission. The citizens of
the state naturally did not care to
have their public funds amounting to
of dollars in the state Bank
of North Dakota operated as it was.

HUGE FUND RE-
PADDY CHECK

Whoever heard of transaction en-
failing the total sum of one cent, and
a check made out for the same?
Nobody. Well nevertheless it has
happened. Frank Williams of Valley
City had personal property taxes, to-
taling the hugh sum of 7c. Under the
measure authorizing county treasurers
to return so many mills on each dol
lar Of tax collected, County Treasurer
c.. A. Fisher was forced to write a
check for 1c, made payable to Mr..
Williams. The United States govern
ment came in and collected &c for post
age, making the deficit still larger.

Mill TO RESUME
WORK WEDNESDAY

y The Russell Miller Milling Co., has
been closed down since Saturday. They
expect to resume operations Wednes-

The shortage of cars caused this shut
down, but cars are on the way, and
the mill will again be operating for
sure Wednesday.
n N. A. Johnson, manager, told the
Times Record yesterday that although
the amount of wheat coming in to the
mill is out of proportion to that usu-
ally hauled by farmers at this time of
the year there is enough in to supply
the demand and keep the mill running.

Commission of Bismarck. He outlined
the project being worked out by the
Highway Commission and made rec
concentrations to the association which

ton. State headquarters were estab-
ished at Bismarck, where they will
be in touch with the State Highway

determination to perfect the organi-
zation. A campaign for members will

The plan being worked on now and
which it is planned to continue the
work on, is similar to the Babcock
amendment recently added to the con-
stitution of the state of Minnesota, ,
which provides for a system Of high
ways, connecting. each county seat.
The Babcock amendment received
hearty support in Minnesota.
