Portland Maine, June 21.-The the

The unsigned note stated that the
schooner had been captured by an
oil burning craft, something like q
sub-chaser, that the members of the
crew, who were hiding all over the
ship with no chance OF escape, were
being handcuffed and that everything
was being taken off.

Remarkable Generosity Of Bank Of
n. \. 10 Scandinavian American Of
Fargo Clue TO Present Insolvency


It has Been shown that after being
conducted for more than two years
by the Nonpartisan League members
of the state Industrial commission
who have had absolute control over
all of its actions and policies, the
Bank Of North Dakota is unable to
pay current checks presented to IT.,
and is therefore insolvent.
AS the members of the Industrial
commission have had absolute control
over the bank and the entire state A.
nancial system Of the state the re-
sponsibility for this condition lies at
their door. tfs,t-4s
Some inquiry as to through what
policies OF the commission this condi-
ton has come about, is however In
order.
AS an example of the policies
which have been pursued throughout
by the commission the relations of the
Bank Of North Dakota with the Scan
may be taken as a concrete example.
Deposits Began Early. i,
The Bank of North Dakota was
formally opened for business on July
2S, 1919. but even before the formal
opening took place. the sum Of $4o.-
1929 had been deposited in the
Scandinavian American bank, by the
officers OF the state institution.
The deposits kept rising steadily
and on Sept. is. 1919 the Bank of
North Dakota had over $4,000 on
deposit in the Scandinavian American
bank of Fargo. These facts are q
matter of record in the books Of the
Bank OF North Dakota.
In October. 1919, occurred the now
famous Langer raid on the scandi.
navian American bank This wal
brought about by reports made BY
the state bank examiners depart
mentt which showed that the Fargo
bank was in'solvent. The facts con.
| cerning the Scandinavian American
bank were given full publicity at the

dp for an indefinite period.
II this, sum were not tied up In
this manner 1t would now be
available to meet the present
obligations Of the Bank Of Nc rth
Dakota. @;
But It is tied up, and is not
available. 50 hero we hnd .
clue as to why the Bank of
North Dakota Is unable to meea
its obligations and 50 is insolvent.
So here we find that the Bank o
North Dakota, which was absolutel!
controlled by the Industrial commits
sion placed over 100000 of its fund.-
in a bank of whose Insolvency ther'
had been more than ample warn,n,
giving 1t nearly twice the tota
amount given all the "a banks in tn
same county.
There were reasons for this specia
favor, which will be fully discussed
later.
Is This Good Management?
In the meantime however the ques
ton Is:
Should the financial affairs of tn
state be left in the hands of a groul
of men who allowed over 100000 o
public funds to remain in a banl
which was publicly known to be in
shaky condition. especially when tn
affairs Of the bank in question ha'
been subject of public notoriety TO
more than year previously.
Would any businessman or
farmer in the state leave his own
private business affairs in the
hands of a bunch which mis-.
managed them 80 grossly?
Since the states finances con-
Germ every citizen of the state
wouldn't 1t be common sense to
recall these men and put in
charge men who will handle the
funds on business basis?
