THE PROVINCE OF BANKING.

trate sosne features which have q bear
ing onsthe situation.
There II outstanding against the
ststs hail Insurance fund warrants
for $1.1ss.7es.7s for hail losses incur
red in 1919. In addition to this there
are claims for nearly two million for
1920 losses. Collections to meet the
istter have not yet. been made. Col
iections for 1919 have been made;
however. and there IL a little over
$77e.00o in the hail insurance fund.
The q why the 1919 claims are
not met. at least to the extent of the
amount to the credit Of the fund, 10
that the money, first turned over to
the state. has been deposited In. the
A>SASA 4/oAVSd aA1Ue GV6Ck41Ox
with other funds, has been loaned or
deposited in such manner hat it can
not be collected II this time. The bank
pays two per cent m its deposits, but
the hail insurance department must
pay the holders of warrants six per
cent while the warrants are unpaid.
The additional four per cent comes
back as an additional item in the cost
of carrying insurance. which tho in
sured must pay, or lies as a direct
charge against the state as a whole.
Ha insurance is something which,
to be of real value. must be paid
promptly. The value Of the service
is decidedly diminished if payment is
long deferred. In order hat payment
may be made promptly it is necessary
that the funds held for that purpose
shall be placed where they can be re-
covered on short notice. From the
standpoint Of the insured 1t makes no
difference whether collection is defer
red because of unfavorable- local con-
ditions or because the money has been
invested in some permanent manner
and is therefore locked up. In either
case the farmer is unable to obtain
the money which he needs, and to
which he is entitled.
That brings us to the function Of a
bank. The primary function Of a bank
is to keep funds in such form that
they will be quickly available for cur
rent use. A bank is essentially an in
%stitution for short time credits and
frequent turnover. If, directly or in
directly. it makes long term loans, it
must do SO out of funds provided spe-
cially for that purpose, or otherwise
it is certain to encounter embarrass-
ments and to embarrass those who re-
ly on it for the service which = bank
is usually expected to perform.
There a be no objection to real es-
tate loans as such. But the real es-
tate loan business is essentially differ
ent from the business Of banking
proper, and the two must not be per-
mitted to interfere with each other. II
ordinary banking funds were invested
in real estate loans, depositors would
soon find themselves in the situation
Of the farmers who are holding hail
warrants over a year old. They would
be unable to obtain funds for the con
duct of their ordinary business because
those funds would be tied up.

NO SECONDARY BOYCOTT.

The federal supreme court has de-
clared against the secondary boycott.
In a decision just handed down 1t is
held to be illegal for the defendant
representatives OF a labor union to
promote a combination mot merely
To refrain from dealing with COM
plainant Oh to advise, or by peaceful
means to persuade complainant's u.s.
toIners to refrain. (primary boycott)
hut to exercise c%oercive pressure upon
such customers. actual and prospec-
tive. in order to cause them to with
hold or withdraw patronage from
complainant through fear Of loss or
damage to themselves should they
deal with it," 49,
The defendants in this case relied
on the provision of the Clayton act
which make certain reservations in
favor Of labor unions in relation to
the operation Of the law. But the
court holds that the immunity grant,
&c in this case does not extend to
the commission Of acts which in
themselves are clearly illegal, no mat
ter by whom performed, and the
court places what is known as the
secondary boycott in this category.
Whatever may be the legal phases
Of the subject the secondary boycott
andEthe sympathetic strike are in the
same class. Neither can he iustified
on n basis of fairness and right.
It is n thing for a group Of men
to strike. to discontinue their em-
ployment, and to refrain from deal
ing with the employer against whom
the strike is aimed, in order to in
duce settlement favorable to them Of
issues in dispute and relating to their
own employment, 1t is another and
entirely different thing to extend such
. controversy far beyond the sphere
OF those Immediately concerned in it,
and to demand that other persons not
at all related to the dispute shall
strike against their employers. with
whom they have nc quarrel, and to
compel others to desist from dealings
Of all kinds with the other party to
the original controversy. .
Legal or illegal. the secondary boy
colt and the sympathetic strike are
Immoral and against the public in
terest. The our says that the Sec
ondary boycott is also unlawful, as it
: should be.

BRANCH BANKS.

Senator Curtis has recommended to
President-elect Harding that the lat
ter urge upon. congress-, when the ex-
ira session %convenes some time after
the fourth Of March, that the Federal
Reserve act be amended so a. to pro-
vide for q single central bank, with
branches instead of the system of
regional banks now in operation.
Such accommodation would inn
naediateIyssfana into fresh flames the
old ~contfoYarsy which became acute
in the days Of President Jackson,
when the creation Of a United States
bank was an issue upon which the
whole country divided. Conditions
have changed greatly since Jackson's
time, and many o. the old arguments
would NOT Sapply, but that some of
them would be made to do duty again
is quite certain. Some of them were
used very vigorously when the Gre
alton Of the Federal Reserve system
was under discussion, and the sys-
tenn was denounced as an unwarrant-
ed and dangerous Capitalization of
banking powers. Any effort still fur
ther to centralize would undoubtedly
encounter active opposition.
When important changes in our
banking laws were under discussion a
feWtyesrs ago the branch bank sys-
tenn was urged by many who be-
hevedIit superior to any other. In

The last thing that the people of
North Dakota desire just now is a
series Of long drawn out fractional dis
cussions at Bismarck and waste of
time in sparring for fractional advan-
tage.
AS the factions are lined up, one
group is in control of the house and
another Of the senate. If both groups
insist on emphasizing factional differ
ences. each will become set fast in its
position, and the result will be a dead
lock, and the delay or prevention Of
legislation Of the highest importance
to the state. The conditions are such
that no Legislation of a sweeping or
revolutionary character is possible. If
both parties were so . disposed. the
league forces could not extend the
radical features Of existing public
ownership legislation because Of the
opposition to be encountered in the
house. and the Independents could
not obliterate all the existing public
ownership legislation because Of the
adverse senate majority. even IL it is
small, and the veto power of the gov
ernor.
The thing that j. needed is the spir-
it OF reason, moderation and accom-
mediation. Certain conditions exist.
The facts must be, recognized. If the
body Of the membership of both hous-
es will accept the conditions and rec
ognize the facts, and refuse to be in
fluenced by extremists of either fac
ton, this session can be made exceed
ingly useful, both in the character Of
the legislation adopted, and in the
work of bringing about a better UNI
derstanding among men who are seek
ing sincerely the welfare Of the state.
