not some portion of those funds
invested in the Bank Of North Da-
kota's bonds7 The officials did not 90
into those points in their statement,
but the situation Is so transparent
that anyone can e through t.
The central labor bodies have funds
on hand representing payments made
by thousands OF members. Those funds
are intended to finance. the work. OF
the organizations. and to constitute Q
trust which must be faithfully kept.
That money must be kept where it will
be secure, and where 1t can be reach
ed whenever 1t is needed. If any por-
ton Of it should be invested in bonds,
the securities must be Of such as could
be marketed without a~ppreciable
shrinkage whenever it became neces-
.sary to, realize on them Suppose the
American Federation of Labor, for
instance, should buy a million dollars
worth of North Dakota bonds now.
Suppose that six months hence it
should need to use that million dol
Lara. What prospect would it have
of getting it? La
Suppose the federation should de-
post it's current funds in the. Bank
of North Dakota. What prospects are
there that checks drawn against that
account would be honored? The
ey of the townships and counties and
school districts of North Dakota has
been deposited in The state bank. Is
there anything in the experience Of
these home municipalities that would
tend to encourage the making of de-
posts by people many hundreds Of
miles away? Checks drawn against
the accounts of these local districts
are being dishonored right along. Not
only does the administration refuse to
cash these checks, but it maintains
that it cannot be required by law to
cash them, as the Bank of North Da-
kota is declared to be above and be-
yond the control of the ordinary
banking laws and. as a department Of
the state itself, is immune from civil
action of any kind.
h labor unions treat this subject
just as."Wall street" has treated it.
The institution known as Wall street
is just as ready to handle North Da-
kota securities as any other, on the
same terms. The banks and broker
age houses centering in New York
buy bonds for the purpose Of selling
them again. A very large proportion
Of the bonds which they handle find
their way ultimately into the hands of
individual purchasers. often persons
Of small means. Those ultimate pur-
chasers are interested in just two
things. the security of their invest
mcnts and their income yield. If a
bond is lacking in either of these ele-
ments they will not touch it, except to
take a gamblers chance on it. A bond
company will no more buy bonds
which its customers will not accept
than a merchant will invest in a line
of goods which his patrons will not
buy.
The investment houses refuse to
handle the North Dakota bonds while
the conditions of waste and reckless
ness and political manipulation sur
rounding them make them unsaleable
to the general public. The labor or
carnations regard the subject from
the same angle. They will not buy
what they cannot sell, and they will
not deposit where they cannot get
| checks cashed. j,

A,FOUR EPISODE.

1t was shown in the audit report
of the Drake milEwhich was only
partial because the people in charge
refused to produce the necessary rec
ords-that there has been shipped
from the mill large quantities of
flour on consignment, and that a
considerable portion of this flour had
not been settled for. Here is one in
cident which may shed some light
on the situation:
The manager of one of the Con-
slmers' stores received a consignment
of 100 sacks of Drake flour. Several
of the certificate holders in that
six, eight or ten sacks of flour each.
They were notified of the arrival of
the flour. and were asked to call for
it and make payment Experience,
however. had made them cautious.
Instead of taking all their flour home
they took a single sack, each.
The flour was tried ou in the US
lal manner, and the good wives who
had used it reported unfavorably. SO
did those who ate the bread. For
some reason the flour was not salts
factory, and each of those who had
tried 1t refused to accept any more.
The rest of the shipment remained On
hand in the store for weeks. Finally
it was worked OF. a sack or two at
a dime, on what term. The Herald has
not been Informed.
That was the actual experience H.

TOO MANY SIDE LINES.

One trouble with the Bank Of North
Dakota is hat there have been too
side lines attached to it.
The state institute has received
public funds from all over the state.
These have been fed but t o certain
local banks with which working ar
rangements on p~re-arranged lines
have been established. Those certain
selected banks have in turn underta-
ken to keep alive newspapers which
could not support enough strength in
their respective communities to keep
them out of the graveyard, and which
have been permitted improper credits,
as in the case of the Continuous over
drafts of the Grand Forks American
in the Peoples bank. Other lame and
tottering enterprises, such az Con-
sumerS' stores, have been carried along
in similar fashion. with the result that
the money needed by the local commu-
mites for the financing Of their or
binary business was not forthcoming.
Going a little behind all this we
find that the Bank of North Dakota
itself has been merely a side line, or.
to change the figure, it has been but
one wheel in great combination. the
purpose of which was to produce
funds for the conduct Of the political
operations of Mr.. Townley and his i'm
mediate associates. /.
The banking business is a rather
important business. A pretty good
plan for the individual investor to
which he entrusts with his money has
no political side lines Of its own, and
that it is not itself the adjunct Of any
other political combination.

GOOD RAW, POOR POLICY.

The federal supreme court has Just
handed down a decision affirming the
validity OF the farm loan act and de-
'c!aring that congress has authority
to exempt the bonds issued under the
Dvovisious CT the act from taxation.
Ths being the decision of the court
OF Gst resort it is to be accepted as
good law. But it is pretty we'll es-
tAh6shed that the exemption of these
securities from, taxation is poor pol
NJ. 4 feature on which. of course, the
court II silent. as it a nothing to
d with questions Of policy.
II j. quite Obvious that the contin-
ned practice OF cxempting large is
anM Of government securities from,
t4xA<lon tends 20 divert immense
EtIMs OF money into thai class of in
veafment for the purpose of escaping
taxation. Il the process is con-
tt1Eed long enough there will. be no
such thing a. taxable incomes. In
actual practice there is, Of course, no
prospect that ali the funds of the
country will be tied up in tax free
securities. but the tendency is in that
direction, and it has already pro-
ceeded far enough to create a per-
picking problem for those who must
devise means for the raising Of neces-
sary revenues.
Just so much money must be raised
every year to meet the obligations of
the government, II it is not raised
in one way it must be raised in some
other way. If n class of property
is exempted, other classes Of prop
crty must bear a greater share of tax
alton. And he tendency is to- with
draw funds from enterprises where
the free flow of money is essential
curities which the tax gatherer can
not reach.
1t is not true that the exemption
of land bank bonds from taxation is
an advantage to the farmer. Exper-
fence up to date indicates hat loans
are not made through this agency at
lower rates than can be obtained
through private channels, political
management being n~otoriously more
costly and less efficient than private
management. And if there we're a
slight temporary advantage in the
matter of interest rates, it would be
offset by the transfer Of taxes to the
purchases Of goods which the Dor
rover must make.
The effect of this exemption is to
benefit the man who is already veal
thy, and to lay an improperly heavy
burden on the man of small means

MAY HAVE MILITIA
Machine Gun Company Talked OF
At Redwing, MINI.


At Redwing, MINI.
Redwing, May 7.-Redwing can
have machine gun company in the
recently organized Fifth Minnesota
national, guard If it wants it. All
that is necessary is sufficient en-
thusiasm and enlistments enough to
form the company.
The matter will be formally laid
before the local post of the American
Legion tonight at it's meeting art the
Armory by Major Paul l.. Spooner OF
the Fifth Minnesota and Colonel
Fulton. These officers are very anx-
ious to have Redwing organize and
become part Of the regiment. 1t is
understood that the regiment is COM
posed of companies outside of the
twin cities and Duluth. This alig-
ment with such regiments in the
past which would serve 10 dampen
the ardor of national guard enthus-
lasts here should they be grouped
with the big city companies. But as
sociated with companies from out
side the big cities would give Red
wing a better chance for the higher
things in military circles and it may
be possible that enough enthusiasm
can be stirred up to warrant the or
ganization of company.
