IMPORTANT DECISION

D1StI1Ck OuNkG W. AJs 4NNS00AS -
Burleigh county last Monday rendered
the following decision as to the petl-
tion of the so-called taxpayers" writ
Of rnandamous compelling ex-county
treasurer III. p. Knappen, League, and
Director General Cathro Of the Bank
Of North Dakota to pay over in cash
at once to j.. A. Flow, I. v. A. pres
ent treasurer of Burleigh, all county
funds now on time deposit in the Bank
Of North Dakota. The gist Of the de-
cision according to the Bismarck State
Record (5-19-2l is:
81. That the Bank of North Dako-
ia is a legal depositary for all public
funds, whether coming from school
districts, townships, cities, counties or
from the state government.
2. That the Bank Of North Dakota
is not legally required to furnish
bonds in order to receive public de-
posits Of any kind.
8. That there is no objection to the
course of Former County Treasurer,
Knappen in depositing over $25O,OOO
Of general funds to the checking ac-
count in the Bank Of North Dakota. .
a. That ex-Treasurer Knappen did
nothing wrong in making time de-
posit Of $88, ,34O.43 of county bond
sinking funds in the Bank Of North
Dakota until March 1922. for the rea-
son that these funds were not needed
anyway. Thus far the judges conclus-
lions run squarely counter to the al
Legations as to the law and facts IN
the case set up by the so-called "tax-
payers" and their attorneys, Cameron
& Wattam and #. E. McCurdy. How
ever in his fifth conclusion he held
with the petitioners, though express
ing his doubt at the close of the hear
ing Monday evening if a writ of man
damus was the remedy. This fifth
point, as stated by the Judge, is in
effect as follows >,
5. That he believed that the spirit
if not the letter of the law was that
an outgoing county treasurer has not
the right to deposit general funds as
time deposits, for a period longer than
his term of office. In other words, the
Judge stated it as his opinion last
Monday that ex-Treasurer Knappen
should have deposited all of the $40O,-
900 of general funds to the credit OF
the county's checking account IN the
Bank Of North Dakota instead OF
placing $15O,OOO Of this fund in the
bank as time deposits. This construc-
ton by the way will affect quite q
number Of outgoing /. v. A. treasur-
5ers in this state who placed every cent
of county money on certificates Of de.
posit, and thereby seriously impaired
the working funds of the county,
which is not the case in Burleigh
county"
The names Of the "taxpayers'
some Of them were behind in paying
their personal taxes two years are;
"A. r. Lenhart, "A. w. Lucas, Robert
Orr, E. "A. Hughes, Frank G. Grambs,
"A. w. Gussner, j. j. Bell, H. ]. Du-
emeland, w. r. Thar and j. G. Ander-
son, all business men and bankers Of
Bismarck. These gentlemen took this
action against the peoples bank after
the Attorney Generals office and the
County Commissioners had refused to
help save the Bank Of North Dakota,
and they should all be remembered
when you buy ia Bismarck.

DR.. GRAMMER HITS
ALL FILM CENSORS
Minister Says Richardson, in
Showing oberholtzer's Rec
ord, Proved Others Wrong
STILL FOR OLD MEMBER

Following the statement yesterday Of
Henry Starr Richardson, secretary of
the STATE Board Of Censors, that the
board will hereafter censor misleading
box Office titles" and his declaration
that pictures recently shown in Phila
delphia which bore Objectionable titles
were passed by DR.. Ellis p. Oberholtzer,
Or. Carl y. Gramner, rector Of st.
Stephens Church, today declared the
board has proved unsatisfactory.
Or. Grammer is member Of com
mitter of ministers which charged that
Governor Sproul removed DR.. Ober-
holtzer from the craftsmanship of the
board at the demand OF motion picture
interests Of the state. and that Mr..
Richardson was appointed for political
reasons.
Mr.. Richardson yesterday said
salacious titles will not be permitted
and read from the record the names Of
various pictures such os Passion
and while New York Sleeps to
prove they were approved by DR.. Obcr-
holtger.
DIR. Grammer's Statement
Or. Grammcr's statement follows:
"The friends of good censorship arc
gratifcd TO know that the Board Of
Motion Picture CenSors is going TO
censor films with misleading box Office
titles.
The friends Of good censorship claim
their protest against the removal Of DR..
| Oberholtzer il directly responsible for
this action. Two of the three members
Of the present board were members OF
! the old board and we believe this new
vigor is traceable TO our protest.
I 1--WE claim credit for these reforms.
The ministers were not attacking Mr..
Richardson personally because of his
appointment. His qualifications for the
work were unknown 10 them and his
,lcliveranccs not promising. We be-
lieved his was a political appointment.
! We think the board Of censors ought TO
be outside Of politics. like the Board OF
! Health.
Explains Opposition
, Our opposition to Mr.. Richardson
was not pror-inent feature Of our
protest. We do not claim that DR.,
Oberholtzer's work was ideal Films Mr.
Richardson refers to "a being passed by
Or. OberholtgY we're passed when two
members Of the board. as it nov stands
we're members. Thus IL seems that Mr.
Richardson has proved his board un'
satisfactory.
1--WE protested because the motion.
picture interests we're able to remove
the censor, as this icopardizes censor
ship over the country. The watchdog
was called of TO please the marauders.'
