Editor The Star:

Editor The Star:
My attention has been drawn
repeatedly 10 the articles and ed
itorials recently appearing in
yeur splendid paper ON the gen.
cral subject Of unemployment.
May l take this opportunity Of
thanking you personally for your
attitude I'm this serious emer-
gency confronting the American
people: namely. the unemploy-
ment situation? There will be
many cure-alls offered. many
people will be blamed; perhaps
much Of the blame will fall upon
the congress OF the United
States, but In spite Of the RENE
dies offered and In spite OF
who may be blamed, the fact
remains that there Is very Sc
rious unemployment problem.
and II won't be settled by one
individual or by any group Of
individuals.
II is my personal belief that
more good can be accomplished
by bringing to the attention Of
all the people these conditions
thru the press and starting gen.
eral conversation on the subject
than by all the postmorsems In
the world. P0stmortems are
good In some cases, but they
never do much good for the pa
tient. What we want Is Jobs
and more jobs. Keep up your
good work.
Again thanking you for your
good work and wishing you sue
cess. Very truly yours,
GEORGE 4. SALZMAN,
Chairman, the American Legion

Note the item calling for two heating engineers at
$500 per year. The county buys all its electricity and
heat ready made and doesn't generate a watt or
calory. The heating engineers busy themselves
with looking at the radiator taps but beyond that there
isn't much engineering for them to do.
All of which explains, perhaps, why it cost 665
cents square foot in 1920 for upkeep and operation of
the King county courthouse, with large halls and
rooms when 1t costs the Alaska building during the
same year only 32S cents to perform the service
under more difficult conditions.

B. OFN. D, LIQUIDATION
Is CONTINUING;
PRIVATE BANKS PAY UP

Bismarck, N. D., March 21.-
Footings of the Bank of North Dako-
ia dropped nearly 100000 from
Feb. Is to March IS, according to
the monthly statement issued today
by the bank.
The footings on March Is were
S13,334,924.51, compared to $14,-
224,917.4S on Feb. Is.
The item, due from depositary
banks, was $4,939,045.43 on Feb. Is,
while on March Is it was $4,03S,-
439.75. This liquidation~of nearly a
million dollars on the part Of the
private banks to the Bank Of North
Dakota within a month represents a
liquidation of about Is per cent in
q month, and when it is considered
that about $4,000 of the redeposits
are in closed banks, the total deposit
liabilities Of the solvent private
banks to the Bank of North Dakota
total only three millions dollars.
The item, loaned to bank, de-
creased from $2,464,041.3S on Feb.
15, to 2,312,865.O5 on March Is, the
additional liquidation on the part OF
the private banks being about $780,
900, so that the total of liquidation
within the month on the part of the
private banks to the state hank has
been about $1,05O,OOO. :.
The deposits by public treasurers
OF political subdivisions of the state
decreased from $3,S12.S35.15 on
Feb. Is, to $3,GS7,64S.42, the small
decrease being caused largely by the
