"As a result OF the exercise of this
sound discretion more than 4 million
dollars Of tax money was diverted by
the Industrial commission and tied up
In bankrupt or virtually bankrupt en-
.terprises. Almost $3.oeo,o0o more
were loaned for q period Of thirty
years upon, the security of land, in
many cases Of doubtful value, and
with the result which now has become
known that more than half of the In
tefest payments due are at this time
In default.
During the same period Of time.
Private 1oaning companies, by using
ordinary methods unmixed with poltt-
icafs considerations and without resort
to legal proceedings. have collected
over 30 per;cent of the interest pay
ments due upon loans made in. this
state. "a representative OF one Of
these concerns told me that while his
company had " 100000 invested
in farm loans In this state he had
collected In. the ordinary way over
S0rper&eent Of the interest due 1t this
time Such. is the gross inefficiency
iiof tho Bank Of North Dakota. Such
was the fragrant use Of discretion in
placing these loans, that now the bank
finds itself sunable to collect even SO
percent. 1t them. It'sa political bank
and politics and business never mix.
Extravaeant Salaries
The same Eross extravaganza that
characterized the Mill and Elevator
association4an pears in the payroll Of
the Bank OF North Dakota. During
2 year 1920, the Bank Of North Da-
kota paid over $1o7, 900 for salaries,
over $17,o10 for. postage alone, and
over $4,000 for printing and station
cry. In addition, almost $4,000 was
spent for advertising.
Among the men on the payroll was
Professor Roylance, whose business
apparently It ri to concoct political
dope and propasanda to be printed ut
sease cost and to- be sent broadcast at
public expense.
Another member Of the payroll r.
one William A: Anderson. erstwhile
socialist asitator in Minneapolis,
secretary Of our Industrial commits
sion and now first assistant attorney
general. During the same period OF
time MI. Anderson drew a salary from
the industrial commission Of $500
per year as It's secretary. Mr.. Ander-
son has evidently solved the problem
which almost 1900 years ago wa
said to be unsolvable, that Of serving
two masters at the same time. That
Is not altogether correct, however, be-
cause after all there was but one
master to serve and that was Townley
and since he has been deposed, Mr..
Lemke, the North Dakota dictator of
the league.
The Bank Of North Dakota has
suspended payments and registers
checks. By every known test in the
banking world the bank is insolvent.

five millers, hx packers and seven
engineers during the year and that
there were also twenty-cne people

All public funds in the state were re-
quired by Law to be deposited in this

one restraint upon the commission
with respect to the transfer Of money

A WONDERFUL GROWTH.

Probably the most wonderful piece
of organizing done in this country ex-
cept military modifying, has been that
of the farm bureaus, now welded by
States into the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation.
1t is only a very few years since we
first heard of the beginning of this
now widespread Organization, then
scattered community farm bureaus.
But during the past two years they
have been growing by leaps and
bounds untid today the American
Farm Bureau Federation is the great
est single popular force the country
anyway in the agricultural parts of
the country.
Our last information was that all
but six States had joined the fedora
ton and that three of the six are ex-
pected to come imediately.
In most organizations of quick
growth Eighty members put Eighty
people in places of leadership, with
the result that the whole movement
is soon discredited among sane peo-
pie. Not so with the American Farm
Bureau Federation. It's offices anC
managing committees are all men OF
solid substance and correct judgment
and, as a result. you may look fol-
great, things from this forceful body
of agriculturists.

Wireless negotiations between Kron-

the Kronstadt whites" TO take ad-

and asking them TO send nonparusan

Petrograd provided they were guaran-
