The recent appointment Of. a re-
cetver for the Consumers United
Stores Co. brought to light the fact
that, this league concern still owed
Fargo some 100000. @
This brings to mind the famous
Observation-Disclosures bank affair in
which the Consumers Stores Co. was
also concerned.
When William LANCER made his
famous raid" on the Scandinavian
American bank in the fall Of 1919, p.
e. Halldorson, deputy state bank ex-
aminer, found among the excess loans
$4,000 to the Consumers Stores. Co.:
There were other excess loans nearly
as large to the National Nonpartisan
league, the League Exchange. the
Publishers National Service bureau,
and other league enterprises.
Examiners Report.
With reference to the Consumers
Stores Co. loan, Mr.. Halldorsen made
the following report:
This line of credit is extended
through system of individual loans
to % individuals. The individual
paper is given for accommodation
representing farmers liabilities"
AS a result Of this examination and
report, the bank was closed by the
state banking board. Immediately
William Lemke caused an action to
be instituted in the supreme court 10
have the bank reopened.
At this hearing affldavits on the
condition of the Scandinavian-Ameri-
can bank, prepared BY o. e. Lofthus,
state examiner, and one NJ. w.
Thatcher, president OF the Equitable
Audit Co., was presented to the su-
preme court with view to showing
that the bank was in good shape and
should be allowed to reopen.
Court Deceived.
In connection with this report the
findings Of the house audit committee
state: f.
'Both Thatcher and Lofthus
while testifying before this conn
mtttee, in substance conceded the
gross deception practiced by :
them upon the supreme court: by
their report"
