The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1921-02-14

News of the agreement reached be-
tween emissaries of the Industrial
Commission and banking interests in
Minneapolis, was received by Inde-
pendents and N0npartisans here with
varying views, which indicates that
it will not be accepted by the legis-
lature without fight.
The executive committee of the In
dependent Voters association was in
session all day yesterday considering
recall plans and adjourned to Tues
day night without taking any formal
action. There was considerable sent
imcnt around hotel corridors this
morning for going ahead with the re-
call unless certain state officials re-
signed.
Independents do not seem to look
with favor on any proposition which
will cut short the investigation of the
state industries started by the house.
Some Of the leading Nonpartisans
on the other hand, like Lieutenant
Governor Wood and Warden Stair,
former speaker of the house, are flat
footed in their opposition to any
compromise, plan which would include
the liquidation of the state bank.
Some Of Opinions.
Speaker Twitchell said that any
proposition before it. is, approved
must be satisfactory to the 1ndepen-
dent members of the house and the
senate.
Some of the other opinions ex-
pressed follow:
senator Llederbacll, Nonpartl.
san-I don't think that the state
bank will be liquidated. No, we
will never consent to that. The
people want the bank. They were
confused when they voted on the
law against compulsory deposits
and I am sure that Il law making
deposits compulsory again would
carry at n special election.
Representative Stark, Indepen.
dent-I think that the comprO.
mise plan Is u good one. / be.
lieve that the state bank should
he changed into a rural credits
Institution. The people want
that. l don't see how any rea.
sonablc fellow can oppose II.
Representative Kelly, Indepen. !
dent-We must pass laws limit
ing the power Of the Industrial
Commission. I think that the
I general compromise plan is good.
We should finish the mill and
elevator at Grand Forks, the
houses which have been started
by the home builders and change
the state bank to Il rural credits
institution.
=, Church Is Pleased.
Senator w. J. Church, Nonpart.
isan: ] am very much pleased

uatiOn.
Lieutenant Governor Howard

plan as reported.
1--WE are further from a com.
promise than ever, II the report
Of the compromise from Minneap.
oils Is true.
"The proposed final cleanup of
state industries ia not acceptable
to the league. We were prepared
to abide by the initiated law and
liquidate the Bank Of North Da.
kOta to rural credits bank to
also serve as the financial agen.
cy OF the state Industries and II.
qufdate It only 50 far as it serves
as q bankers bank, but TO have

Sagen, independents believe
that the people should have full !
information regarding the con.
duct of the states industries, but
ii we can get together and save !!
what Is left am In favor Of II.

pl,atic in his disapprOyal. @The
