RAID MADE ON BANKS
Officials Plan Scheme
to Force Closing of Independent
Ranks in Grant County, and Are
Unsuccessful.


the effect that the state administra-
tion forces staged a raid on the in
dependent banks Of that county that
could have only the one aim of try
ing to force some of them to close
their doors. Every bank succeeded
in meeting demands made, however,
and no bank was caught in the raid i.
A crew of men from the Bank of
North Dakota and the bank exam
iner's Office descended on Grant coun-
ty Tuesday night of last week, led by
Fred Davis, once banker at Kintyre.
Mr.. Davis called upon the county
treasurer and had him open his office
that night that a check might be
made of the books as to the account
of Grant county with the Bank of
North Dakota. The check was COM
pleted about l a. M, at which time
Mr.. Davis rendered the county treas
urer some $751; 900 in currency to can
eel the county's claim against the
State Bank, and asked for an order
from the county treasurer dropping
the garnishment then existing. This
was dcne. The next morning all the
banks in the county were notified of
the dropping of the case, and at the
same hour couple Of men appeared
at each bank in every town in the
county, and demanded payment of the
Bank of North Dakota's account in
cash. Every bank succeeded in meet
ing the demand except one, which Of
fered $4,000 in currency and $4,000
draft for $4,000 account. This had
to be accepted, as the draft was good.
The county of Grant had some $751;
600 coming, and the Bank of North
Dakota some $4,000. It appears evil
dent that the Bank of North Dakota
authorities had checked over their
books to find county which had
more state funds than belonged to the
county, and that had garnisheed the
State Bank, as a victim. Grant filled
the bill. However, the bank employees
failed to secure the closing of single
independent bank, although it is al
most miraculous that such happened
tc be the case. No warning was CIV
en- them that the garnishment had
been lifted, and no chance was given
the county treasurer to scatter the
$4,000 currency through the banks
attacked. State bank examiners
were on hand to Immediately close the
banks if any Of them failed to meet
the demands of the Bank of North
Dakota employees.
1t was spectacular raid, and in
dicates the venomous spirit of the ad-
ministration. Up to date, nearly all
the banks that have closed have been
league banks, or banks receiving ia
vors at the hands of the administra.
ton. It seems to have embittered
the authorities that they had been un.
able to bring suffering to the indie.
pendent banks. Likewise, had they
caught few banks by this raid ir
Grant county,. and caused them te
close, the administration could have
then made the claim that it demon
strated what they might do to thu
whole state if they, so wished. With
this warning, however, it is unlikely
that the athorities will be able tt
break any independent bank in thu
state where it's regular business deal.
ings have been normal and sound.

STEWART RAVES AT LINTON
BUSINESS MEN

The editor of the Emmons County
Free Press wakes bitter in last weeks
issue over the evident inability of the
Townleyites to make good Townley's
threat that "grass will grow in front
Of the doors. of independent business
men who oppose the league. !" Stew
art says:
1.-THE time has come when the pro-
ducers cannot afford to give their
business to business men who are
yearly laying up SO per cent divi-
dends, and taking 100 per cent profits
on the business of the producers and
consumers given them, while daily in
their places Of business and on street
corners are Safeguarding and derid-
ing producers for asking for q fair
profit. If. our business and profess
sional men persist in. this unfair COM
bination to destroy the source Of their
profits and dividends, then the farm
ers and producers must combine to-
gether to prevent paying these divi-
dends and profits !"
Rather hard on our business men,
Mr.. Stewart? Especially when you
tried to- tell us just before election
last year that you weren't attacking
the business men at all-simply big
Biz" But go ahead, old boy, and see
if you can make a success Of the
newspaper business with that sort Of
tactics. i.a

TWO LANGUAGES
 CAUSE EXPENSE
 TO SOAR HIGHER
League of Nations Is Costing Great Sum - Explain
 Different Reasons.

GENEVA, Switzerland, July b. Obligatory use of two languages French and English .-in alls,its trans actions, and the high cost of living at the headquarters in Geneve, are given by the special committee in yestigating the workings of the League of Nations as an explanation of what has been considered Fin some quarters as the excessive cost of the organization. The expense for last year, as already reported, was about $4.150,000.
 There can be no doubt" says the committee's report, that, rightly or wrongly the League of Nations has the reputation of costing too much. The report then goes on to explain how the complexity, diversity and novelty of the work undertaken necessarily costs heavily, particular ly since it is in the hands of com paratively young institution that lacks experience.
 The dual language of the league requiring translation and duplicate publication of all documents alone accounts for One-third of the entire expense, the report says, then points out that the location of the head quarters of the league in Geneva ac. counts for a good deal of the exces sive outlay.
 Since the main purpose of the commission of inquiry is to suggest every form of economy" the report says, it feels bound to point out that, at the moment. Geneva is-and so far as it is possible to foresee will remain-a city in which the cost of living is comparatively higher than in almost any city in Europe, and where the rate of exchange is. at the moment of writing, the most disadvantageous for the great ma jority of states members of the league"
 The report suggests that were the league headquarters located at Brus- sels, Fontainebleau, Turin or Wanna or almost anywhere else. an !mmedi ate economy would be effected that would be appreciated by all members of the league and particularly by those whose exchange is depreciated.
