STATE BANKERS COMMITTEE
TO MEET IN BISMARCK SOON
TO CONFER WITH OFFICIALS

to dispose of enough of the crop to
case banking conditions by endeavor
ing to pay tho interest on their loans
and some on the principal. GOvernO:
Frazier also issQed an open letter on
conditions pointing out that investi-
CATION should be- made to find out
what surplus could be disposed of to
help conditions.
= The banking act provides, that sink.
ing funds to repay the bonds shall
be kept by the state treasurer apart
from other finds and the provisions
regarding them are not repealable
during the. life Of the bonds. q
At the meeting in Fargo bankers
who undertook to aid conditions by
trying to sell warrants and bonds IN
the east. it was stated that easter,
investors. demand further safeguards.
Are Not Negotiable.
Dealing with the situation in the
Fargo meeting George II. Holliste7,
Fargo banker and member Of the COM
mittee on the sale of North Dakota
bonds declared that the need OF CO.
operation is now important if the
states finances are to be put on a
normal basis again. He explained
that the committee on the sale of
bonds has communicated personally
and by mail during the last 30 days
with eastern investors with the re-
suit that it has been found, that North
Dakota bonds and warrants under
present existing laws and circyM-
stances are not negotiable.
I'VE realize that these bonds must
be sold, and sold s00n," said Mr.. H0l-
lister. I'VE are not placing the
blame on anyone because they are
not saleable, but that is the condi-
tion. We are up against stone wall
and what we want now Is some sug-
gestion of a plan that will remedy
the present situation.
"Very few Of us in North Dakota,
until 30 days ago, knew anything
about bond selling. We have investi-
gated, however, and we find that
eastern investors want security and
want to know where the money is
coming from to pay interest. where
the sinking funds are deposited, anl
when the money is to be. paid.
Sinking Funds Disstpaied.
1.-THE sinking funds, raised by taxa
ton, are placed in the Bank Of North
Dakota, have been invested in long
term loans, in farm mortgages, in
.,ills and in the building of homes.
We all know these securities are good
but that doesn't help the present sit
uation. Investors must know where
the money is coming from that Is to
pay their interest and principal. Our
sinking funds have been dissipated
and we need relief"

pended, when paid ......S1,1S 20"
4. On Dec. %, 1920, the state treas
urcr had received for this fund from
1919 taxes, the aggregate sum OF $685.
900, leaving a maximum possible still
to be collected OF $4,000. The aver
age claim is 1915. Dec. %, 1920, thi4
office had vouchered all of the avail
able funds and paid up to No. 1850.
New Problem
5. The 1920 levy is one.half greater
than the 1919, but there enters now a
new problem; 1920 real estate taxes
are not paid as paid before. A new
law provides that all real estate taxes
are payable in two installments. The
practical effect of this new law will
be that not as much money will be
available in 1921 as was expended in
1920, until very late in the year 1921.
in 1920, the bulk of the money was
available May 1st and June LIST. Not
as much will be here on these dates
in 1921. Ultimately 1t will be collected
but collections will be six months
later than this year It is our view
that until late in 1921, despite the
increased levy, not as many claims
will be paid as were paid in 1920.
G. In gound numbers the tax Of
1919 will pay 5000; the tax Of 1920
will pay 1900 claims and Under the
law now in force, that number car
be expected to be paid each year
thereafter. Take your order number.
divide it by 5000 and the result is the
number Of years it will! take to reach
a particular. claim. This Is an est
mate, but the best this office can
make. This is all the inforVation
we have; all we cen give y''l' We
regret this, but these are the facts as
they exist,

Thinks Laws Sufficient. |
Mr.. Cathro; who returned from Far
80 at midnight, said that there are
some who believe that legislation Is
necessary to give assurance to east
crn investors that real estate bonds
which the Bank of North Dakota
seeks to issue, about $3,000,00O in all
to take M mortgages now held by the
bank, are sufficiently safeguarded in
the eyes of eastern investors.
Mr.. Cathro said that he considered
present legislation sufficient, but said
that it was a purely legal question
and would be a proposition for law
yers to consider.
The financial situation in general
is no different than it has been and
conditions with reference to warrants
are no different than if there were
no Bank of North Dakota, he said.

LANCER OPINION
IN FIRST ACT
School Districts Under Ruling
Have New Basis for Bond
Issues

In the first important opinion hand
cd down since assuming the position
Of attorneY-general, William Lemke
yesterday afternoon reversed tho deci-
sion of william LANCER, who has just
retired as attOrney-general, in hold
ing that school districts may raise
money by bond issues for the purpose
of building. repairing or furnishing"
The opinion was rendered in the
case Of the board Of Rock Lake spec
ial school district. The question in
wolves the construction of Section 4.
Chapter 81 Of the laws Of 1919. Lam
ger held that the only purpose for
which q school district might use
the 1919 assessed valuation as the ba-
sis on which to build school house.
While the amount involved in this
case is only $4,000, It Is important
because it makes 1t impossible for
school districts to 60 ahead, as there
is constitution provision limiting
the debt to 5 per cent Of assessed val
uation unless by 4 vote. Of twOthirds
of the electors in thS/ district shall
increase the indebtedness another
per cent.
ut seems clear that the intention
of this law is to give school districts
The benefits of the Increased assessed
valuation as a basis Of raising money
to provide the necessary school build
ings and furnishings" Mr.. Lemke
holds When money Is raised to re-
pair, furnish or build, it necessarily
goes to pay for such improvement,
and whether the improvement is made
before or after the money is raised Is
immaterial.
"My opinion, therefore, is that the
debt limit of the above district for
the purpose of this proposed bond
issue if per cent Of its 1919 assess
ment'
