HAVRE BANK May NOT
Be able TO REOPEN
Was Suspended in September After
Run; Collections are Difficult
Crop Failuers Cause.

Efforts toward the reorganization
of the Havre National Bank, which
suspended September 7, have appar-
emily met with little success, accord
ing to o. A. Carlson, manager Of the
Montana branch of the Federal Re-
serve Bank at Helena.
The Havre bank, Of which A. L. Ritt
was president, was capitalized at $780,
900. Its surplus was $4,000 and prior
to suspension it had approximately
$45O,O0O in deposits. A steady run
of more than week resulted in the
bank closing it's doors and the appoint
ment of Frank Brown of Chinook as
receiver.
"Crop failures and poor collections
closed the Havre National )" said Mr.
Carlson. "From the present outlook
it doesn't seem that there is a chance
for the bank to reopen. There is nc
blame attached to the officials Of the
bank. Helena bankers did everything
possible to save the institution, but
no bank could resist the run that the
Havre bank encountered"
Havre is in the center of an ex.
tensive agricultural section which ha.
suffered practically five successive
crop failures. 1t is not known JUS
what started the run on the Havr,
National.

Not Over Armed Is View
Held by French DELEGATES

Paris, Oct. 6-The aim of the French
government at the Washington con-
ference on armaments and Far East
ern affairs is to convince the delegates
of other nationalities, especially those
of the American government, that
France is not unduly armed, and that
her security requires the number of
men in active service.
Marshal Foch will be prepared to
lay before the conference every partic-
ular concerning the present land arm
aments of France. General Weygand
and General Degoutte are sollaborat-
ing with General Desticker, who will
accompany Marshal Foch, in the prep
aration of documents which will be
submitted to the Washington confer
ence by Marshal Foch.
Reducing Army
France is reducing her army. The
troops in active service today are
about 60 per cent of the number on
May / of this year. France then had
about 100000 men under arms. She
now has between 100000 and 100000
including the army of the Rhine and
Colonial troops.
The French attitude will be to show
just how far France can go toward dis
armament in the face of information
received from Germany concerning
that country's power for prompt mo-
bilization and in the absence of other
guarantees than Frances own troops
It will be the viewpoint of the French
delegation that, unless there are guar.
antees along the lines Of those con-
tanned in the American, British ano

TAX COLLECTORS
GET BACHELORS
County Treasurers of State Will En-
force Collection of Bachelor Tax
Passed by Legislature.

A large portion of the = ;ble bache-
lors in Valley cocunty al Vng onto
the delinquent list this fall L q: they
get busy and pay up before NJ q her
30th, according to County Trea
Frazier. Up to the time of going
press only forty one in the COUNT
had paid up making total collected
of $4,000 and Of this number forty
were turned over by the Great North
ern railway, Morris Denham of Hins-
dale being the only other eligible
young bachelor to pay the tax volun-
tarily.
Among those who are delinquent in
their bachelor tax are some Of Valley
county's most prominent citizens.
Wherever the delinquent is real
property owner in the county the bach
elor tax is added to his regular tax
notice and these boys will have little
or no chance to evade payment.
Treasurer Frazier says that the at
tempts of Chris Hanson, Louis Bergen
and Otis A. Hallet to evade payment
of the tax by getting themselves into
the benedict class at the last moment
will avail them nothing. They were
eligible bachelors on the first day Of
March, 1921, and on account of that
fact will be obliged to pay the tax this
fall.
Some amusing incidents in the col
lection of the bachelor tax are recited
by a Helena newspaper this week.
A Great Falls man procured en-
ployment at the city Rimini pipe line
project, paying total Of Sc for trans
portation and other incidentals to get
to Helena. After his work was finish
ed he applied at the pay office and
was astounded to find that after
bachelor taxes, poll taxes and road
taxes and board had been deducted he
only had $1.5O with which to pay fol
his transportation back to Great Falls
However, a more amusing incident
is that of a foreigner from Chicago
coming to Helena to work on the
Rimini pipe line project. His name i:
John Kesevich, according to county
records. After working three . ant
one-half days on the project for a to
tai compensation of $14 he found tina
there was only 81 due him after de
ductions for bachelor taxes and othel
taxes had been made. He refused tt
accept the So from the pay office ant
hied himself into the thoroughfares O.
the city to seek redress for his i'm
agined wf-ags. ,
Coming under the pauper classifi
cation, he was given 81 by the count,
auditor with which to purchase tn
necessary calories to revive the cur
rent of life and to defray transpor
tation expenses to East Helena wher
he had been promised work in tn
smelter. Later, on his representation
that he contributed to the support o
an aged mother in the Windy city, tn
famous bachelor tax of So was re
funded to him.

Federal Reserve Bank
Makes Slash in Rates

on November % when the bank was in
debted to other federal reserve banks
in the sum of $28, 8,280,000 which it had
borrowed for the assistance of agfi-
cultural and livestock interests of the
ninth federal reserve district.
The action of the board was in ac-
cordance with it's previously an
nounced policy of refusing to change
the discount rate of 61A per cent es-
tablished May 10 while the federal re-
serve bank of Minneapolis was indebt-
ed to other federal reserve banks.
"The board, however, acted imme-
diately on the recommendation Of the
executive committee yesterday when
the last of the banks borrowings was
wiped out and the new rate of per
cent was confirmed by the federal re-
server board and became effective
Wednesday, in establishing the new
rate the board announced that its ac-
tion is not based upon the general and
widespread liquidation which it has
hoped for but which has not occurred
or upon any pronounced improvement
in the credit situation.
"The board believes that some i'm
provement in credit conditions has oc-
Cured and that some liquidation is in
progress and that it's action Tuesday
may be of some assistance to the dis
trict although it was taken in strict
accordance with its previously an
nounnced policy and is based chiefly
upon the fact that the federal reserve
bank is at present out of debt to other
federal reserve banks.

A six per cent rate on agricultural,
livestock and commercial paper, a re-
duction of one-half per cent for the
ninth federal reserve bank is an
nounced in a telegram received We'd
nesday from Minneapolis by O. A..
Carlson, manager of the Helena
branch bank.
The message from John H. Rich,
chairman Of the district board and fed
eral reserve agent, said that the re-
duction was made Tuesday by the
board, based on the fact that the ninth
district bank had paid all it's indebt-
edness to other federal reserve banks.
"At special session yesterday the
board of directors of the federal re-
serve bank of Minneapolis approved
the recommendations of the executive
committee and reduced the rediscount
rate in the ninth federal reserve dis
trict from six and a half to six per
cent on agricultural, livestock and
commercial paper.
This now makes six per cent rate
on all classes of eligible paper. The
action of the directors was based or
the fact that the bank yesterday pait
off the last of it's Indebtedness tc
other federal reserve banks or borrow
ed money after having been continu
ously borrower since April 16, 1920
with the exception of period of 1:

"The sentence is entirely too severe.
After Fowler has served few months
