OUR OFFICIAL LAw-BREAKER

The list of our official lawbreakers
grows daily.
Apparently the state officers fee
that cur North Dakota laws were
made to be observed only when con-
venient to them to do so.
The state bank examiner is the
latest offender. The state law pro.
vides that the fund collected from
sound banks to guarantee bank de-
posits and repay losses of depositors
in insolvent banks, shall be kept On
deposit in banks which are operating
under the law itself. The Bank Of
North Dakota is not operating under
the bank guaranty act, yet several
weeks ago the funds collected under
the bank guaranty of deposits law
were all called in by the bank ex-
baminer and deposited in the Bank bf
North Dakota. It is a plain viola
tion Of the law, the purpose doubtless
being to use these funds, amounting
ito more than 100000, to bolster up
the shrinki.> cash assets of the
Bank Of North Dakota.
The list Of fragrant violations of
the law by our state officials is al
ready a long one.' It is necessary
to recall only a few of them to show
what contempt they have for the very
laws they were elected to enforce.
Recall the order of Governor Fra
zier to state employees to ignore the
Subpoena of the house investigating
committee.
+ Recall the house that was built for
William Lemke,. in violation Of the
.homebuilders' law.
Recall the loan Of state funds that
lpohn Hagan authorize. 20 be made
to himself while lie was state Of
ficer. The law provides removal
from Office as the penalty fer this.
Recall the fact that all three di-
rectors' of the Bank of North Da-
kota and the manager are violating
the law every day by receiving de-
posts in a bank tt.at is insolvent un-
der the definition Of insolvency con-
tanned in the state laws. This con-
etitutes felony punishable by pen
litentiary sentence.
Recall the Misrepresentation made
to the state supreme court in the
matter Of the $11,O 900 Brinton check,
given for the purpose Of misleading
the court and permitting bankrupt
bank to reopen and receive deposits
from innocent investors.
Here are six fragrant examples of
violations of the state laws by state
officials sworn to observe and enforce
the law. Could anything do more to
bring the law into contempt? When
state officers flout the law, what can
be expected Of private citizens I?

TWO LINTON BOYS ACCEPTED
FOR FIT. SMELLING CAMP

Arthur F. Heinrich and Wendelin
Bosch have been notified by the
Headquarters 18th Corps Area that
they have been accepted for the Citi-
zens' Military Training Camp to be
held at Ft. Smelling during the month
of August.
There were one hundred ffty-five
applications for admission from the
state Of North Dakota, of which the
government accepted twenty-one
Six applications were from Linton
and vicinity, and the above named
were the only ones accepted to date.
. This military training camp has
proven very popular, and each year
the government will doubtless enlarge
upon the idea, and it will become
something to look forward to by the
younger generation.
A months outing and military
training, such as will be given at
Fort Smelling is worth a great deal
to any young man, and cannot help
beneftting him in his future life'e
work.
Those who made application and
were not successful this year, should
not feel discouraged, as nearly three
times as many applied for training as
the government could accommodate
No doubt congress will arrange SO
that greater number will be &C.
cepted next year.

K. P. NOTES

The local lodge has been holding
regular weekly meetings this summer
and there has been a good attendance
present every night. The meetings
are not long drawn out, and every
one seems to enjoy having been pres
ent. If you have not been coming,
try and come up some Thursday
evening.
Well, we haven't seen that fifty
yet, but some, say that the prospects
are good for it turning up most any
time now, SO don't be surprised if it
stsres you in the face when you come
to the next meeting. The interest
appeared the other night, and was
all drank up in no time. WHAT!
You don't believe it? Well, just
wait and see.
The new entertainment committee
must be preparing something out Of
the ordinary as they are taking lots
of time to have everything, in fine
shape before telling any of us just
when and where it is to be.
Three members have been coming
down regularly from Temvik to hear
the report Of the Grand Lodge con-
vention, and they inform the writer
that they are still going to come,
as they don't want to miss any Of it.
Mayhap next meeting their wishes
will be satisfied.
Mrs. Dave Colquhoun, wife of
Knight Colquhoun, was taken to Bis
marck last week for an operation,
and for time was in serious
condition, but the latest reports are
that she is slowly recovering.

Bjorn P. Skiold, Of Mountain, N.

to collect his soldiers bonus money
from the State of NORTH Dakota.
The bonus claim of $425 was al

check for $425 was issued for pay

On July IA, 1921, one month after
the check was issued, the former SER

state treasurer stating that he had
been unable to collect the bonus and
asking for assistance.
In all its public statements the Bank
