WHY CATHRO BALKED MOCK
INQUISITIOy

Accounts would be open for inspec-
tion and every courtesy and assistance
shown the inquisitors. He did object.
however. to dragging these records out
into the public to be distorted and lied
about in the press. In short. it was a
violation of common sense, to say moth
ing of the trust devolving. upon him
through the relations of the Bank of
North Dakota with the other banks of
the state. There could be no forctclling
the consequences to scores of institu-
tions were this to happen.
Therein lies the explanation of Mr..
Cathro's attitude on the stand and the
cause of his citation to appear before
the house of representatives on a
charge of contempt of the house. The
members of the investigating commit
tee, with the comparable audits of both
Bishop, Brissman and Company and the
audit Of the Industrial Commission IT.
self at their hands: with the opportun-
ity offered for direct examination of
the records Of the bank in the institu-
ton itself, were bent. through their at
torney, in belaboring the banking sys-
TEN of the state to the point of crash.
The rules under which the commit
tee proceeds were drawn up by its at
torneys. One Of the noteworthy of this
set Of rules is the now famous No. ~
1t reads:
witnesses shall be examined by
counsel employed by this committee.
provided, however, that II member
Of the committee wishes to question a
witness, permission shall first be given
by the chairman of said committee. and
provided. further, that II it shall appear
to the chairman that such question or
questions are not propounded in good
faith, he shall refuse to permit same
to be asked unles directed to do so by
majority Of the committee"
Another rule which would have the
effect of holding up operation Of the
state institutions is particularly signif-
icant in relation to the committee at
torney's insistence that records from
The Bank of North Dakota be brought
into the hearing. It was the possible
ity involved in this rule that prompted
the Industrial Commission to Issue ar
order permitting officers of the bank
or Of the Industrial Commission to take
documents and papers into the investi'
eating room, but not to permit them tt
go out Of their possession. The rule
reads:
"All documents, papers and exhibit

ATTACKS ON BANK MADE ON
ANY PRETEXT


r,lssion. demanded entrance to make
an audit" of the Bank of North Da-
kota.
officers of the bank and members of
the Industrial Commission refused the
SKATE Auditor permission to follow the
course he had set to pursue. Great
The Industrial Commission had decid-
ed that publicity adverse to the Bank
Of North Dakota was the impelling lao
tive back Of the. effort. Ridiculous
statements as to the condition of the
state bank were published broadcast,
nevertheless, hinged merely upon the
word of political opponent who lad
r>lede no audit. - s-&st.
Continuing throughout this period
was crossfire of criticism from cer-
the anti-state ownership politicians of
political subdivisions. One Of the
methods by which the bank concentrat-
ed and made available the credit Ut
the state for the benefit of the pro-
ducers was the law which compelled
all public funds of, political SUBJ
divisions be deposited in the Bank Of
North Dakota. The cry was raised
that political subdivisions under the
old system were obtaining higher rates
of interest than the per cent allowed
them by the state bank. In some cases
this was true. insofar as local private
banksrs at times allowed nominal 3
ger cent on local political subdivision
funds. But the real motive for this
cutlery was apparent. The Bank of
North Dakota demanded that the local
bankers pay per cent for these same
fluids. The general assertion is not
too broad that in scores Of cases
throughout the state they never had
paid anything up to the time the Bank
of North Dakota came into existence.
In other words, the Bank of North
Dakota took the funds of the counties
and redeposited them in the banks OF
those counties and made the banks
pay a fair rate Of interest. Therein
lies the real explanation for the propa-
ganda that was directed against the
state bank on that score. The people
were getting a fair return on their ewn
money-whichwas something that had
not been done before even in those in
stances where bankers actually were
paying interest at 8 per cent.

BORN January 20, 1890. His father. u
barrister, was an expert on interna-
tional law. The son was destined TO
follow his fathers career and was
graduated from the University Of
Petrograd. AT college he became in
tcrasted in voice culture and studied
with Figner, Tartarkof and Nine. Kar-
teeva, who advised him to study for
grand opera. His father consented on
the condition that he finish law and get
his degree. This done, Rosing learned
several operas and started to tour hi
native country. News of his success III
the surrounding provinces soon reached
petrograd and when the Arts Opera
House was completed in his home city
he was invited to become a leading
member of the company. He made his
debut in Eugene Onegin." In 1914 he
was engaged by the Imperial Opera
House in Vienna, but owing TO the
war was unable to appear there and has
