lnsolvent banks are under the
supervision of the state bank
examiner, and must make re-
ports whenever a call is issued
from his office, according to an
opinion handed down last FRIDAY
by Attorney General Wellington
ID. Rankin. This opinion is of
more than usual interest to the
people OF the state of Montana
because of the stand the at
torney general has taken in
favor OF a bank depositors' guar
antee law.
His ruling was addressed to State
Examiner, L. Q. Shelton. to whom
a resolution, demanding an examins-
ton and statement of affairs of tn.
defunct Banking corporation, was re-
Gently sent by more than 200 de
positors.
The resolution set forth that no re-
ports or statements had been made
by the receiver, Claude c. Gray. since
ne assumed control II months age.
and that the law provides that call
statements must be made at least
five times each year.
Attorney Generals View
While a receiver is an officer Of
the court" Attorney General Rankin
states. there can be no doubt Of II
intention of the legislature when the
law was passed. 1t is clear that it
was intended that the superintendent
of banks should retain supervisor
control over the affairs of the bank
while it is being liquidatad by the
receiver.
1T is threfOre, my opinion that the
superintendent Of banks may call for
a report from a receiver of an in
solvent bank at any time that he in
the excise of his legal discretion. be-
lieves that such report is necessary:
also that he may make an examination
OF the affairs of such banks when
ever be likewise believes it prope~,
and if the receiver refuses to make
such reports or refuses to permit such
examinations, the superintendent of
banks has the authority to file pro-
ceedings for the removal of such re-
ceiver."

Miss Scott declared tRat the in
fapt mortality rate in Imperial
county is higher than that of any
other county in the state. There
are 13O deaths among infants un-
der~two years oldsout Of every thou
sand born, she said. The average
for other counties in the state is So
out of every 1000.
The establishment of health
bureau on the east side is of para
mount Importance, Miss Scott said,
for there conditions are not what
they should be and facilities for
caring for school children are not
sufficient. The ultimate aim of the
health bureaus would be conversion
into clinics, she said.
Following the talk by Miss Scott
there was vocal solo by Mrs.
George Reasonover, who was ac-
companied by Miss Jewel Edwards,
violinist and Doug Deeble. There
was great deal of applause.

At the same moment the prisoner
arose from his seat in the crowd

Judge Anderson reviewed the
case, which he said was one of the
most extraordinary in the history of
federal jurisprudence.
Slightly haggard, McCray appear

throughout his trials as he faced
Judge Anderson for the last act of
his dramatic federal court trial.
After sentence the prisoner was
turned to U. s. Marshal Meredith,

Carter in Suit
Against UHey,
Atty. Gen. Webb

In an injunction complaint filed
by Attorney Harry Horton for
George A. Carter and Hakam Singh,
against Ernest R. Etley, district at
torney of Imperial county and Z. S.
Webb, attorney general California,
it is asked that the district attor-
ney and attorney general be en-
joined from instituting any pro-
ceeding against either Carter or
Singh in the event of their sign
ing q contract of employment.
The injunction complaint as filed,
differs from several other cases in
volving questions of the appiica-
tion of the ALLEN land laws, in
that it does not wait for proceed
ing to be started by the district
attorney and attorney general, but
asks for an Interpretation of the
law from competent court.
The injunction states: "That the
plaintiff, Carter, is desirous of
planting upon the above described
land a crop of lettuce to be grown
and harvested during the cropping
SedSOH anu S'iu Ciop VI 'hS .N"i
1924-25, and is desirous of employ
ing the plaintiff, Hakan Singh, to
do and perform the labor necessary
for the preparation of the soil upon
the above described land, and the
planting, cultivating, maturing and
HARVESTING of the crop of lettuce
on the said land. .-
tn
Attach Copy Of Contract
"That the plaintiffs do not desire
to enter into any contract which IS
in any way a violation of said ini-
tiative measure adopted Nov. .,
1920, Or any of its valid amend
ments, but the plaintiff, Carter,
desires to employ the said Hakam
Singh in accordance with the terms
of said contract and the said plain
tiff, Carter, has been informed by
his attorney and believes that said
contract is Il contract of employ
ment and not a cropping contract
and vests no right, title or interest
or right of possession in and to
said land or any crops to be grown
thereon or any portion thereof IN
or to the said Hakam Singh and is
not in conflict with or in violation
of said initiative act, Or any valid
amendment thereto.
Attached to the injunction com
plaint was a copy of the contract,
which neither Carter nor Singh have
signed, both awaiting the decision
of the court in the matter. The
contract is dated April %, 1924, and
in its terms it is agreed that Singh
is TO furnish all tools and equip
ment for preparing and growing the
crop. He is to rent these tools and
equipment. to Carter. In addition
to that Singh is to furnish his own
labor.
