[Associated Press pispatch. ]

[Associated Press Dispatch.l
New York, October 3.-The state
Of North Dakota has won its financial
fight OF more than two years, to dis.
pose of its real estate series Of bonds.
The unsold balance, it was announc
ed yesterday by the Bank of North
Dakota has been bought by Splitter.
Rorick and Company of New York.
The bonds will be offered to public
subscription in the usual way at i01
and accrued interest, yielding 5.75
per cent. A statement issued in con-
nection with the sale OF bonds. said
it terminated lone OF the most dram
attic campaigns Of recent years. In
Wall street. THE fight began in the
spring of 1919, when the North
Dakota legislature, then controlled
by the Nonpartisan League, author
lied the issuance Of the 4onds as q
industrial program.
Sold On Five Per Cent Basis
The bonds were sold to Halsey,
Stuart and Company and w. r, Comp
ton Chicago on a fve per cent
basis. While the details incident TO
the delivery of the bonds were being
concluded political opponents OF the
Nonpartisan League brought tax
payers suit to block this sale and to
test the constitudonality Of all OF the
important laws passed by the league.
The case dragged through the state
supreme court and the United States
supreme court and the validity Of the
transaction was established. In tho
meantime, the bond market had de-
clined interest rates had advanced and
the Chicago financiers could not be
held to Cueir bargain. New bonds ut
q higher rate were issued but imam
ciers were shy of them and custom
ers could not be found.
Could Not Agree In Minneapolis
Minneapolis bankers tried to Ell.
feet compromise in order to re-
lease the frozen credits in North
Dakota, an almost entirely agricui-
tural state, but the bankers and
state officials could not agree. The
Bank Of North Dakota, an organiza-
ton fostered by the state and a part
of the Nonpartisan Leagues indus
trial program, finally opened an Of
fice In the Equitable Building, New
York and set about selling the secur-
tiles.
There had been much recrimina-
ton and the suspicion and prejudice
created by the litigation continued.
North Dakota claimed there was a
plot to wreck the state while finan-
-ciers declared the Nonpartisan
League had set out on course that
was bound to bring disaster. The
Bank OF North Dakota, through its
New York Office began campaign or
education regarding the resources OF
the state and the desirability OF the
bonds. According to the announce
ment made yesterday, this campaign
had been successful.
