Approximately 1000 bushels of corn

eral gift corn" days planned in Middle

NEW SENATOR
CHARGES BANK
CHOKING n. D.
DR.. Laid Asserts Reserve
System Aids Conspiracy
Against Farmers.
STATE CREDITS FROZEN

FARGO, n. D., Feb. 22.-Dr. E. F.
Ladd, Senator-elect from North Da-
kota, who left here today for Wash
ington, declared the tight financial
conditions in North Dakota were due
to discrimination by the Federal Re-
serve Bank of Minneapolis against
the State of North Dakota.
1--WE shall have to admit that it looks
as though there had been concerted action
of fnanciers and banking interests TO
hamper, if not to cause the farmers or
CARNATIONS untold trouble he asserted,
referring to the present conflict now cen
tered about the Bank of North Dakota.
He declared the state institutions diff
ficulties were largely due to the financial
depression brought on by action Of the
reserve bank in demanding that farmers
'uquidate." forcing them to sell their
livestock and grain on a falling market
manipulated by spectators and grain
gamblers"
The reserve bank. he asserted, grew
fearful Of the consequences of its action
and changed front, sending money into
the State to save the situation. DIT. Ladd
charged, however, that opponents of the
NOnpartisan League had taken advan-
tage Of the reserve bank order to attempt
to wreck the farmers program" Of
North Dakota.
CALLS FOR
INVESTIGATION.
In my opinion he said, ian investi-
cation of the Twin City financial control
would be Of more real interest and value
to North Dakota than any other investi-
cation at the present time and might
uncover conditions not equaled by the
wheat marketing situation.
DISCRIMINATION against North Dakota
is shown IN the funds sent TO various
States Of the Northwest by the Ninth
District Federal Reserve Bank" be said.
On Dec. l, DR.. Ladd said, he was in
formed by the Ninth Federal Reserve
Bank that "the following sums had been
loaned:
Minnesota. SIG, $40 coo; Montana, ST.
100000; South Dakota. S11 ,507 900, and
North Dakota only S5.165. 900.
"Of the S79, 10000 loaned to the banks
Of Minnesota, about STO,000OOO was
loaned to Twin City banks and By them
furnished the country banks Of the Ninth
district They informed me that during
the sixty days preceding Dec l, the
member banks Of North Dakota had

LITTLE REPLACED
IN NORTH DAKOTA.
Every little money had at that time
been replaced in the North Dakota banks,
as this money was used to move the
CROPS.
This situation is largely responsible
for the frozen credits of North Da-
kOta,' which make it impossible for the
Bank Of North Dakota TO obtain funds
due 1t from privately owned banks and
which, just now, form the basis Of the
political attacks made on the State in
stitution. The bitter fight made against
the Bank Of North Dakota indicates that
the bank is feared. There can be no
question that the Bank OF North Da-
kota is frowned on by the bankers and l
fear they would not regret to see it de-
stroyed and would probably lend their
influence to help bring this about DE-.
Ladd concluded.
