ANOTHER ANGLE Of
ATTACK ON BANK
THE FARM LOAN DEPARTMENT
YIELDED NO SOLACE TO
INQUISITORS

1t will be remembered that during
the primary campaign last year and
also before the fall election, much
was made Of the alleged excessive
loans made by the Bank of North Da-
kota on farm lands. Lists of farms
were published together with the sums
loaned thereon to show that the Bank
had gone beyond the lawful limitation
of SO per cent of the value of the
lands and improvements. The figures
published were misleading in that
they gave the value of the farms as
assessed for purposes Of taxation and
not the appraised valuation made
agreeably to the application for q
loan. BY giving only the assessed val
uation the buildings and other i'm
provements were left out Of the reck-
oning under the law exempting farm
improvements from taxation and thus
farm worth $4,000 in lands and i'm
provements was made to appear as
worth only $4,000 when the land alone
was taken into account.
The I. V. A. controlled House in
vcstigating committee named ap2rais-
ers in several of the counties wherein
the Bank Of North Dakota has made
farm loans and these were told to 70
out and to make an appraisal of the
lands in the hope that glaring in
stances of overloans would be re-
vealed. 1t is worthy or not, however,
that nothing ever came Of this new
line Of attack on the Bank. Nothing
was found that would in any way dis
credit the farm loan department Of
the Rank and the inquisitors were
doomed to disappointment on this
score. So the Ivies have been robbed
of another useful trick in their de-
ceptive political conjuring.
According to a statement made by
Mr.. Cathro before the Senate invest
igating committee, the loans made by
the Bank of North Dakota, would av-
erage SALT per acre throughout the
state. The loans made by the rural
credit bank of South Dakota average
$16.75 per acre so that it would seem
that fair margin Of safety has been
maintained by the Bank in making
real estate loans. It was this fact
that proved so discouraging to tho
Ivie Investigators that nothing was
heard of the matter before the COM
mittee. Trained masters as they were
in the art of deceiving the public,
tnef most expert liars could not make
the above figures serve any useful
purpose to them.
North Dakota's credit should be on
par with that of any state in the
Union. It's total bonded Indebtedness
today is only 100000. No state in
the entire nation carries so light q
load of debt. The area in farms in
the state is approximately 28,000,000
acres. The cultivated acreage is in
round numbers 17,O0O,000 acres. The
bonded debt therefore averages less
than one and one-half cents per farm
acre and trifle over two centh per
cultivated acre. And in spite Of this,
bonds of the State Of North Dakota
can not be sold. Office seeking politi-
clans are responsible for this. Some
day the verdict Of history will brand
them as the most despicable of trait
ors to the great state that bred or
adopted them and is furnishing them
with their daily bread.
