and have tried to carry the truth to
the people. The leaders dare not
carry the truth to the people, and any
man who has the courage to say a
word in that direction Immediately
is decapitated from the league payroll
and the victim is placed in the traitor
class. So long as farmers are content
to read only one side of the political
situation in North Dakota the league
leaders are assured of quite follow
ing. But if they will allow their own
editors to tell the truth about existing
conditions then the stuff is off. A
whole lot of farmers have been be-
guiled into believing that the Cour-
ier-News is the only truthful paper in
existence and they will not read any
other. In the meantime the payrolls
of institutions in the state are being
held up for want Of funds and the
Bank Of North Dakota is "broke."
The new day has proved to be brok-
EN- reed.

The Valley City Gun Club tourna-

the first of,August on account Of the
rain Tuesday which made it impossible
to hold the shoot. It is believed there
would have been a good attendance at
the tournament as there were IL of
5Jamestown's shooters here, in spite
of the heavy rain that fell, showing
what we consider to be pretty good
craftsmanship. Following is the re-
suit of the Sunday shoot: Out Of 100

Nelson broke &c.. out Of so, Hetland

AS a caution to people who are in
the habit of picking up electric light
wires which sometime fall on the

very dangerous thing to do. We un-
derstand that somebody picked up a
wire down in the city park some time

telephone post to get it out of the

WHY NOT A RECEIVER

Isn't it about time that somebody
applied for receiver for the Bank OF
North Dakota? ),
Hasn't the farce that the state bank
is solvent gone about far enough?
You can get evidence Of its insolv-
ency almost any day..
Fargo banks have thousands OF DOL
lars worth Of checks against it which
they have taken for collection only
no sane banker any longer accepts
checks on the Bank of North Dakota
except for collection-and they can't
get either the checks or the money.
School teachers are unable to get
their pay although their school dis
tricts have money to their credit IN
the bank.
Checks of all kinds are being Greg
istered" or in other words payment is
refused on them. -. :,
Every time check is Registered" it
means that the bank fails to meet its
just obligations. Under our state law
that means that the bank is insolvent.
There is no uncertainty about the
wording of the law. There is nothing
indefinite or vague about it. 1t fatty
says that bank shall be deemed in
solvent when it fails to meet its obi
cations. The Bank of North Dakota
is failing to do that daily.
And the law further says that any
director of a bank who continues to
accept deposits after bank is insol-
vent is guilty Of felony.
Isn't is about time that they locked
the doors, appointed receiver, and
considered the question of whether or
not the directors and the manager OF
the bank are guilty of accepting de-
posts for bankrupt bank Forum
The Courier-News today tries to
keep up it's courage by saying that all
the differences relating to the late un-

that from this on harmony and peace

furnish few meal tickets for those

The world war put about twenty
four billion dollars Of debt on the
backs of the American people to be
paid by taxation. Legion officials are
scoring the president because he wants
the bonus bill, which would add sew
eral billion more of taxable debt to
the country's over tax burdened peo-
pie, postponed for time. The presi-
dent wants provision made tor taking
care of the cripples and disabled SOL
diers and believes that the rest Of the
boys can wait awhile and he is right.
It was not a war of what could be got
out of it as we understand it, but was
a war for humanity and liberty. The
president appeared in person before
congress and asked that this bonus bill
be laid aside for a time and the leaders
of congress have agreed to do so. In
Justice to the soldier boys we want to
say that a great many of them are
against this bonus bill. Here are
some of the headlights OF the presl-
dents address,:
Every obligation is to the disabled
and dependent.
Enactment of the compensation bill
in the midst Of struggle for readjust.
ment and restoration would defeat
every effort and greatly imperil the
stability of our country.
It is unthinkable to reduce our tax
burden while committing our treas
Jury to additional obligations which
range from three to five billion dol
lars.
We have never neglected and never
will neglect the independent soldier.
l pledge you most conscientious
drive to reduce government costs by
many millions. 80 - ,,'.-~
It would be discouraging to those
who are bending energies to save mil
lions to have congress add billions to
our tax burdens at the very begin.
ming. -,
The defenders of the republic would
be the last of our citizenship to wish
its stability menaced by individual
pittance of peace. -
The president has taken a courag-
eous, businesslike stand in this mat
ter, a stand that should win for him
the appreciation of millions Of people
who are struggling to meet all these
taxes that they are called upon to
furnish. ".. a.,.

President Harding has invited Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan, to
disarmament conference to be held
in Washington. Great Britain is very
much pleased at this step being taken
by the president and the probability is
that Premier Lloyd George will come
here to represent the people OF that
country. The suggestion of President
Harding seems to meet with general
approval among the big powers and
perhaps one TO the most important
conferences ever held in the world will
take place at Washington in the near
future to discuss the matter of dis
armament.
