Division among the l. V. A.
ranks in Bismarck on the recall
indicates that all Of the anti-farm-
er politicians are not in favor Of
the move of the handful Of office
hungry bosses. Especially are the
I. V. A. state officials opposed to
the recall, scared out at the deter
mination of the farmers to make
the election d general one.
They know that the business men
of the small towns will no longer
monev in an effort to put the rob-
bers of the farmers in office. Most
Of the business men have had d
lesson in the last few months and
hundreds Of them who formerly
fought the League are now writing
to League officials declaring their
willingness to fight for it, if the
railroad forces the recall.
That the !. V. A. is to secure its
funds from the railroads is appar-
ent by the railroad propaganda
sent out bv Two Bit Nelson, secre-
tary Of the organization disparag-
ing the efforts of Attorney General
William Lemke in fighting the rail-

knocking the states fight against
increased rates.

FALLOW AND FIGHT!"
This is the answer OF the farm
ers of North Dakota TO the politi-
clans of the Ivabund who have an
nouneed that recall election will
be held.
Boys. we're going down the
line. Well summer fallow and
fight" was the way the farmer leg
islators in Bismarck greeted the
news of the special privilege recall.
"Going down the line" means a
battle TO a finish. Here are some
of the things the farmers are go
ing down the line On.
They're going down the line to
raise battle fund of $15O,00O to
100000 to meet the half million
or more the railroads will pour
into the state to defeat the people
program.
They're going down the line and
recall every I. V. A. public official
who is opposed to the industrial
program.
They're going down the line and
publish the names of all signers to
the recall petitions, first to find ont
who stands on the side of special
privilege; and. second, to prevent
the l. V. A. from forging names as
they have done in the past.
They're going down the line to
show the interests that without the
wealth the farmers produce there
can be no prosperity. If the spe-
cial interests force the recall the

ing some OF his paper red1scOunted
with the Bank of North Dakota.
He had not done the rediscounting
himself. but it had been done by the
local banks with which he had busi-
ness transactions And since he
sold a lot of automobiles he did a
lot of business and needed consid-
erabIe money at times. The local
banks accommodated him and if
they rediscounted, his paper with
the Bank Of North Dakota it. was
done in the ordinary course of bus
mess and there was nothing secret
or criminal about it. 80
But the keen and analytical Ivie
minds the fact that he had sold
cars to League - organizers before
the Bank of North Dakota was ever
dreamed of. of course, established
the fact that there must be some
thine: hidden and sinister in, all his
banking transactions. One OF the
things that he testified to, by the
way, was the fact that none OF his
pa-er had found it's wav into the
Bank of North Dakota since Mr..
Cathro had become manager. J..
r. Waters was in charge at the
time his notes were rediscounted
there.
Inquisitive Tactics
AS a sample Of the way the lvie
inquisition is carried on we may
cite the testimony given by G. A..
Ebbert, manager Of the First Farm
ers bank of Minot. who was called
to testify recording loan made

900, which paper had afterWard
been rediscounted in the Bank of

not permitted to testify to the fact
that this loan has now been paid in
full only about $4,000 of the
amount remaining unpaid at the
date of the Bishop-Brissman audit
on Dec. 3, the balance of the loan
being liquidated on December 8.
Thus. by the rankest kind OF in
nuenda and suppression Of facts.

policy of complete ruin of the state

mad desire of q bunch of discredit-

was one Of the last Of the bankers
to approach the League lawmakers
with compromise proposition and
he is simply venting his spite upon
those who refused to assent to the

Valley City Bankers Lied
The effort to prove that the
Bank of North Dakota has been
made the dumping ground for ques--
tionable paper wherein to finance
League enterprises has continued
throughout the week and has failed
miserably.
The Valley City Bank loan,7 to
five Nonpartisan League farmers
came out for another airing, when
Assistant Cashier Foucks ofHthe
Security National bank was placed
upon the stand and testified pcsit-
lively that there had been no money
redeposited with his bank by the
Bank of North Dakota to offset
the loan made to the farmers and
to his knowledge no such arrange
ment had ever been entered into ny
the Bank of North Dakota.
This was in direct contradiction
to statements made upon the stand
by Lee Cowell, chairman OF the
board Of directors of the bank, ana:
s. B, Elkis, another member OF the
banks official family. Mr.. Foucks
testified that drafts in the sum on
five, three and two thousand dol
lars made upon his bank at differ
ent times by the Bank of North tDa-
kota had been dishoHored upon IN
structions by James Grady pressl-
dent of the bank. He Is the gen

that an agreement had been entered
into with the Bank of North Dako-

C0untu Treasurer Settles
With Bank Of North Dakota
t~'".

County Treasurer Lawrence Lar
sen and President G. E. Hovland Of
the First State Bank of Coteau re-
turned on Friday of last week from
Bismarck where they went to set
tie the account of Burke county
against the Bank of North Dakota
by taking checks drawn on banks
in Burke county in full settlement
county. There was not quite
enough money in the Burke county
banks to take care of the state
banks obligation to the county so
a draft for about 81 900 on an east
ern bank was issued to pay the bal
ance.
The following day conference
was held between the county COM
missioners, County Treasuser Law
renee Larsen and the bankers of
the county to make arrangements
for redistribution of tn. Sc funds,
but after spending the. entire af-
ternoon in talking over tho matter
nothing was done. Several bank
ers practically admitted that they
were unable to pay the checks
drawn on them. and a demand for
the money would force them to
close their doors. Others said
that if thev paid any part of tlfe
checks they would not be able to
assist the farmers any this spring
in putting in their crops, but none
of them would admit that they
could pay the checks drawn on
them without any Inconvenience.
To demand the money now would
close several banks in the county,
and that would not get the coun-
ty anything. ~. I
This places County Treasurer
Larsen in a rather embarrassing
position, as he is personally re-
sponsible for these funds, and it
is up to him to turn them over to
the county on demand. The funds
amounting to about p$143,0OO which
had been in the Bank of North Da-
kota were placed there according to.

that the Bank of North Dakota
was short in. its reserve or liquid
assets to the extent Of $2,197,269.
This absurd and malicious lie was
refuted in the hearing by the Sem

its legal reserve if figured on the
same basis. as the Forum had fig
ured the standing of the Bank OF

Banks Can't Pay Drafts

from the fact that its redeposit>

Withdrawals it will mean that they
and not the Bank on North DAKOTA
will have the doors closed. To

Some of these drafts have been
