STATE MAY OWN
FARM LANDS

Bismarck, N. D., April Is - That
the State of North Dakota probably
will become the owner of considerable
land through "sales" made to the
state through farm loans is indicated
in the audit reports Of Bishop, Briss-
man & Co.
Because the bank assigns the farm
loan mortgages to the state treasurer
when bonds are issued the Bank of
North Dakota will escape the loss to
a considerable degree and the loss
will be sustained directly by the
state treasury.
The audit of the industrial COM
mission by Bishop, Brissman & Co.,
reported that the Bank of North Da-
; kota was carrying as assets total of
$162,O57.10 interest accrued but I'M
paid on farm mortgages which had
accrued before the assignment of the
mortgages to the treasurer, and I'M
less interest is paid the bank will suf-
fer this loss, while the state will suf-
fer any loss of interest after assign
ment of the loans.
The audit report on the bank states
that more than $4,000 of farm loans
made under the Nonpartisan league
administration cannot be assigned to
the state treasurer on which bonds
may be issued because the loans were
not completed. Under the amortiza-
ton plan of making farm loans, the
borrower pays both a portion of the
principal, and interest, each year. In
Guided in the loans held by the bank
and not yet assigned to the state
treasurer are the following:
Obert A. Olson, league indorsee for
state treasurer, loan on Bowman
county land made Oct. rs, 1919,
amount of loan, $1,000; amount I'M
paid, $1,000.
! Obert A. Olson, loan on Bowman
county land made Nov. %, 1919,
amount of loan, $4,000; amount I'M
paid, $4,000.
William J. Mozely, former employee
of state immigration department,
loan on Star kCounty land, Oct. 20,
1919, amount of loan, $4,000;
amount unpaid, $4,000.
D. j. Mcmahon, loans amounting
to $4,000 on Golden Valley land;
amount unpaid, $4,000.
r. II. Walker, former member
league state executive committee,
loan papers made out for $4,000 on
Oliver county land, advanced $4,000;
unpaid, $4,000.
Of 33 loans aggregating more than
S125,000 still held by the bank, no
interest has been paid on 26 Of them,
the loans being made in 1919, 1920
and 1921.
