date is one selected by the farmers
themselves and not by the city people.
The legislature in 1899 set the date of
township elections, designating the
third Tuesday in March. It was done
at the request Of the farmers. Before
that time the township elections had
been held on the second Tuesday in
March. That date had been set by
law from the time that Dakota terri
tory was organized. The only change
made in the law in 1899 was to make
the day come week later. So it will
be seen that during the fifty odd years
that Dakota has had local government:
March has beer the month chosen by
the farmers for their local election.
The League daily has now discovered
that holding an election III March is
another plot against the farmers. II
there is ::plot" in having the election
come IN March, then the farmers have
been plotting against themselves in
Dakota the past fifty years, as it has
clearly been up to them to set the date
for their own township election.-ln-

WHY NOT PUBLISH THE LIST

The reason given for the Bank of
North Dakota's refusal to pay just
claims against it. is invariably that it
"can't collect what is due it from pri-
vate banks"
All right, suppose we accept that
reason, for the time being, and ignore
the millions tied up in delinqu@.t> real
estate loans, in state industries, and
in the houses of state officials.
The last statement of the Bank of
North Dakota shows that only 214
banks are still doing business with
the Bank Of North Dakota, and they
have exactly $2,243.28O in redeposits.
and $1,919,397 in loans. That in
cludes more than SO insolvent banks
with total Of about 81, 100000 in
loans and redeposits.
Suppose the Bank of North Dakota
publishes the list of banks still doing
business with it. Why not let the vot-
ers know exactly what banks still
have redeposits and loans, how much
each has, how much is due, and what
banks have refused to pay. That in
formation was given last winter dur
ing the legislative investigation, and
no serious results were noticed by the
banks of the state. There was no run
on the banks. Why not bring the in
formation up to date?
Such report would disclose exactly
how much money the Bank Of North
Dakota ha sin insolvent banks and
how many of these insolvent banks are
socalled "league banks" It would
show how many socalled "league
banks" still have money which they
cannot or will not repay to the Bank
Of North Dakota. It would be pretty
fair guess that every independent
banker who could do so: has long since
ceased to do business with the Bank
of North Dakota. He quit either of
his own choice or because the Bank
of North Dakota called on him for
what he owed it. Certainly it is not
reasonable to suppose that the Bank
of North Dakota would register
checks, while it permitted an "un-
friendly banker" to retain any of it's
funds. The gang that is running
things at Bismarck doesn't do bust
ness that way. 1t doesn't sacrifice
votes to protect an "unfriendly bank
en-"
Nor is it reasonable to suppose that
the bank examiner would trifle very
long with an "unfriendly banker" who
couldn't or wouldn't pay what he ow-
ed. There would be sign on his
door in short order. -

maybe the general is right, and now
that the Order Of the Rising Sun has

Three weeks from today is the re-
, call election and we rather think that
there will be so many ballots voted
yes on the amendments and initiated
laws that will make the league gang
wonder who threw that brick. The
administration forces are sending out
in all their papers supplecents print
ed in red ink advising voters to vote
no. They also did this the last time
and the laws carried by big major
ity. We rather think history is going
to repeat itself again in three weeks.
It will be chilly day for the socialist
bunch on October 20 but the rest of
the voters will feel pleased at the re-
suits obtained. That is only our
guess, however. The three independ-
ent candidates on the recall ticket are
meeting with wonderful crowds where
ever they go and much enthusiasm is
being shown. At one place recently
Mr.. Nestos dwelt chiefly on the i'm
portance of the restoration of the
credit of the state, which, he said
could be done only through putting
stop to administrative recklessness
and instead inaugurate honesty and
integrity in the handling of public af-
fairs. What this state needs, said Mr..
Nestos, more than anything else, is
not to dispose of few million dollars
of bonds. but TO regain the confidence
of the investing public in the world
outside, so that farmers and the bus
, mess men of North Dakota will be
able to get the fifty million dollars
needed during the next twelve months.
We cannot see why this is not a
mighty good stand to take. We have
as fine state as lies out of doors, but
under the present conditions and state
administration we have had our Gre
dit impaired, millions of dollars of
good money has been recklessly vast
ed and our standing has been shot to
pieces. We need business mems ad-
ministration-and what is more than
all we want a state of peace and con-
fidence. We cannot get that until we
make change in the administration
because so long as the Frazier bunch
is in control they will put us deeper
and deeper in the hole.
Much ado is being made in the Cour-
ier-News today in the statement that

Of McCumber he is only on record as
being against the law providing for
nonpartisan elections-and he has his
own reelection in mind, no doubt
He is to come up again next year to
succeed himself and will have some
hard shedding we think. The only
time that McCumber ever pays any
attention to North Dakota politics is
when he, himself, is interested as a
candidate. He has been giving us the
frosty hand all the time this socialist
outfit have been wrecking the state
and never has he offered to help out
and pull the state out Of the mud.
