N. D. BANK TO

Done Before Election

Bismarck, n. D., Oct. 1.-THE
Bank OF North Dakota as election
time draws near, is going to make a
book transfer paying one-half of its
debt to the state of North Dakota
1t will not pay all the debt, off,
cials of the bank have informed other
state officials, because lit does not

which was paid out of fund raised
by taxation. The payment" which
is to be made before election, or at
least announced before the election,
will not involve the actual payment
OF money, but will be transfer.
The Bank OF North Dakota in its
last statement showed paper profits"
of S153,224.91, but has the 100000
obligation to the state which it says
| it will pay and owes the state $780,
! 600 more which it does not expect 10
pay.
Another transfer has been effected
by the bank, with election time draw
ing near. For many months the bank
has carried an item of s24 ,1DS:87 as
priation." Supposedly, this amount
has been set aside on the bank Is
books to repay this advance. How
ever, it was not until yesterday that
the bank announced it would pay this
to the state general fund, the transac-
! ton involving a book transfer.
| Under the industrial commission
law the stale industries were to repay
! the state for money advanced out of

the state for any part of its 100000

state any money.

Fittingiy Rewarded.
However the state administration
was evidently grateful to Mr.. Thatch-
er for his services in getting the
scandinavia n-American bank re.
opened. The gratitude has taken 9
decidedly practical form.
An examination of the records
in the Office OF State Treasurer
John Steen shows that during the
last sixteen months the state of
North Dakota has paid to this
same Equitable Audit Co. a total
OF over $4,000.
In other words the concern has
had al average Of something
over $1,000 from tho state Of
North Dakota. The greater part
of this has been paid by the
Industrial Commission.
Speaking of Judgment.
So as far as Mr.. Thatcher is con
cerned he evidently showed t;ooe
business sense in making the sort o
affidavit that he did.
But what do the facts as outlined
above show as to the business sens
on behalf of the state of the member
of the state industrial commission
and especially, Mr.. Lemke?
This is one of the questions tn
voters of the state will have a chanc
to answer on October 2S.

Mr.. Palmer, 81 should comply with

of the newspapers published in TINS

Therefore, to tender my resignation at
this time would be naturally construed
as indicating an unwillingness on my
