Lawyer circuit said the money to be
furnished by the state as its share
towards the building of the armoly,
will be available by July l. The
states share is $35, 900 while the city
appropriated $4,000 to complete the
program.
"Six weeks ago the architect and
the adiutant general were here to de
eide what the state wanted and what
the city desired The cost of con
structing an armoly on the idea OF
the ST. Johnsbury building, which l.
the standard armory of the state, has
increased $4,000. A building like the
st. Johnsbuly armory could have been
built for $4,000, but now the same
building would cost 500 ,000 without
the city Offices. The Acknowledgement
said that local contractor could do
the best job.
"The vote on the armoly question
was passed in such way that the
$4,000 could not be exceeded When
th City Council considered the new
addition to the head house which
would bring the total cost over
$55, 900, they didn't think they should
proceed without putting the PROPOSE
ton up to the voters so the special
city meeting was called.
"There are two horns to the dilema
to be considered tonight. One to
build an armory on the plan OF the
st. Johnsbury building and the other
to build one to accommodate the CITY
offices.
MI. Grout spoke in detail of the
advantages of having an armory large
enough for Newport's company of
10 men and described the various
rooms proposed and the size of cacn
room. Mr. Grout said that the suo-

shortage u responsible for more bank
closings in North Dakota than in other
states, according to q statement today
by #. w. Cathro, director general of
the Bank of North Dakota.
His statement follows:
"The cause of more bank failures
proportionately in North Dakota than
in other states is that the banks in the
western portion Of the state are much
smaller proportionately on account Of
the territory being newer and having
four short crops. The crop of 1919 was
almost a+total failure!
During the unusually long and Sc
we're winter Of 1919-1920, banks were
compelled to advance money to help
farmers feed their stock and additional
money furnished to provide for the
been unwilling to sell The 1920 crop
at the present depressed prices, below
the cost Of production, and as a re-
suit, therefore, the banks here have
been unable to take in new money
either in collections or deposits in suf-
ficient amounts to keep ahead Of with
drawals.
I'm the ordinary course of business
no doubt a majority Of these banks
which are closed will reopen as soon
as farmers can be induced to sell a
portion of their crops. The aggregate
resources Of all the closed banks COM
bineds does not exceed resources of one

door to tax revision legislation this
session.

restricted general debate on the John

| would stop all immigration for two
years. were hopeful of passing it to-

s Oppose Bill.
! Washington. Dec. 9.-Provisions.fo of
the house immigratioR bill which
comes. up for debate -today,AaSe- op-
posed as unnecessary, injurious to. the
public welfare and constituting re-
versal of the historic policy of the
country in a minority report Of the
immigration committee, signed by
y Representatives Siegel Of New York
and SABBATH of Illinois. The bills pro-
\; posal for a practical suspension of all
immigration for a period of two
years. the report declared, is unwar-
- ranted both as to present labor con-
ditions in this country and the number
of immigrants arriving.
Whereas. prior to 1914 the total
immigration frequently exceeded L.
100000 per year, it was pointed out.
the total for the first eleven months
of this year was only 840,509, with a
total of 366,915 emigrants to balance
against that figure.
