RESERVES IN BANKS OF
STATE MUST BE INCREASED

Thirty days time has been given the
banks Of the state by the state bank
examiner, O. r. Lofthus, to build up
their cash reserves to the point re-
qured by law, that is, ten per cent of
demand deposits and seven per cent Of
time deposits. A penalty Of not less
tilan 500 nor more than $500 may be
imposed for failure to meet with this
requirement.
1t is pointed out by f. w. CathrO
and other heads of the state financial
organization, that because Of the pecu-
liar situation this fall the banks were
allowed to slide by this law and let
their reserves decrease. The holding
policy of the farmers and the preNa-
lent striNgcncy made It seem inadviS
able to strictly enforce tlie law be-
cause of the hardship it would have
worked to farmers and bankers both,

deemed advisable to bring the re-

siderable financial relief.
Book Transfer Settles Case.
Making book transfer of funds, the
Bank of North Dakota has adjusted
the claim of Burke county for $l5O.OOO
Of funds said to be necessary for the
conduct Of the county's affairs. The
attorney general Of the state has ruled
| that public funds are not subject to
punishment, and while several gar
|\nishment proceedings have. been insti-
tuted,. the Burke county case is the
first to be settled and settlement was
effected without a trial of the gar
nisllee.
The Bank Of North Dakota had about
S15O,OOO of the county funds on de-
post and had redeposited some
Sl43.OlU with the various banks of the
county. Having placed all Of these re-
deposits to the credit Of the Burke
county treasurer. the bank issued il
draft for $1,000 to make up the bal

HOUSE DEBT FUNDING BILL
HITS OBSTACLE IN SENATE
Finance Committee Fails to Agree
on Supervision Plan and
Adjourns.

The House foreign debt funding
bill met its first obstacle in the SEN
ate today The finance committee
considering the measure failed to
reach an agreement with respect to
adoption of the commission supervi-
sion plan. and after nearly two hours
of discussion adjourned to continue
the consideration later today.
Some committee members said after
the meeting that discussions in the
committee indicated strongly that the
House provision with respect to the
naming of commission to arrange
for payment of the debt would be
modified.
They added, however, that there was
no certainty as to what form the
changes would take, but the consensus
of opinion was that the committee
would seek to have Congress retain
some of the power which the House
measure would bestow upon the COM
mission.
It was declared last week by some
leaders of the committee that the House
plan would be adopted by the committee
without alteration. These members
said today that several stumbling
blocks" had arisen in the morning S
consideration of the bill, but they de-
clined to disclose what these obstacles
were.
