itself; in deep water, and vas unable

The November election resulted in
the election Of the three officials who
constitute the Industrial commission
by the narrowest Of majorities. The
political faction to which these mon
belong lost control Of the house, and
has in the senate = majority Of one.
The change OF a very few votes at
The general election would have taken
all control Of tho state government
from the hands Of this faction ana
placed that control with another ele-
ment. The new officials would have
ing machinery which, had they de-
sired, they could sshave used exactly
as their opponents have used it.
Is a banking system safe which can
be used in thie manner? II 1t not
true that any banking plan devised
substantially aB this has been is one
to which the sums which would
pass into its possession can safely be
entrusted?
Another feature OF the situation re-
the league officials have made against
the private banking interests and
those who are responsible for the in
vestigation of the banks affairs and
the work of other departments. It
is charged that these various interests,
being politically hostile to the present
state administration, have conspired
to wreck the state bank by circulating
false reports concerning it., and have
brought to bear the power Of vast
aggregations of wealth In order to
withhold funds from it and drive it
out of business. ignoring for the
moment the falsity and absurdity of
these charges, and assuming them to
be correct, we have a demonstration
Of another of the dangers Of state
banking. Such a plan as that on
which the Bank Of North Dakota is
organized. places the institution in
the position to invite just such at.
lacks as are charged, and provides the
best possible assurance of their sue
cess. A state bank, politically con-
trolled. invites attack from the OPP
posite political element, whatever
that element may be. With enormous
sum including all the public moneys
of the state centralized under it's con-
troll, it becomes particularly vulner-
able. A determined attack upon it,
no matter when made, would be GER
and, what is more serious, would be
certain to affect injuriously the en-
tire state.
The people of North Dakota have
had a convincing demonstration of
the unWisdom Of state banking.

1t has been declared with strong
Saphasis that the Bank of North Da-
sta holds collateral worth one and

QUOTATIONS

In a recent letter, Mr.. Huso, of
Northwood, wants to know why the
Liverpool wheat market is no longer
quoted. He suggests that it is sup
pressed for some unholy purpose. be-
cause the spread between Liverpool
and the American markets is so great
that the showing would discredit
American buyers. The fact is that
there is no Liverpool market, and
there has been none since early in
the a Soon after the war began
the British government, as a war
measure, took charge Of the purchase
and distribution Of many food prod
ucts, wheat included. Similar action
was taken in several of the continent
countries. In Great Britain the gov
eminent bought wheat wherever it
could find it, at whatever price 1t
was obliged to pay. It turned owe
great quantities to France and the
other Allies. In its domestic distri-
button it sold the wheat below cost
in order to provide the people with
cheap bread. The loss ran to many
millions annually, and was made up
in taxation. That is why bread sold
in London for less than in Chicago or
Grand Forks. For the time being the
open market was destroyed, the whole
business being on an artificial basis
Obviously, under the circumstances
Liverpool quotations became out OF
the question. When the open mar
ket is restored the quotations will be
resumed az formerly.

CORRECTION

In the article by ]. w. Scott pub
lished on Sunday morning and Monday
afternoon, DIR. Spillman is quoted an
saying that the Canadion government
returned to the Canadian farmers
$263,0OO,00 this being the amount
realized by the government above the
price originally paid to the farmers.
These figures were inserted by mis-
take, and do not belong in the article.
Mr.. Scott wrote that the amount was
many millions" but did not specify
the exact sum. 1t is explained in. the
text that the payment was SIS cents
per bushel, but DR.. Spillman was not
quoted as to the total.
