STATE BANKS
LOAN BUSINESS
is INCREASING
Rural Credits Department of
Bank of North Dakota Has
Loaned Over 12,OOO,OOO
SEE NEW HIGH RECORD
Month of April Likely to Sci
New High Record in
Amount of Loans Made
SEE NEW HIGH RECORD

Business in the farm loan depart
mcnt of the Bank of North Dakota is
booming, with the prospect of the
biggest month in April since the
rural credits department was open
ed. The business done during the
month of March approached the rec
ord, when loans totalling $fl9,S5O.OO
were closed by the department : 30
or more employees and the finance
committee of the bank.
Applications for loans continue to
be made in such volume that the to-
tai still Is ahead Of the capacity of
the department to complete the tedi-
Gus process Of appraising land, lass
ing the loan, examining the abstracts
and executing mortgages and numer-
Gus papers which are necessary be-
fore the loan is completed. Delay is
often caused by tho person seeking
the loan. since when papers are COM
pleted and sent to such person for
signature it frequently requires time
to get them back. 1t is only by keep
ing a great volume moving through
the grist mill of the loan department
that it is able to keep up steady
volume of business averaging around
half million dollars month
While the applications for loans
continue, this is not entirely due to
the fact that the farmer making the
application is in danger of losing
his farm, according to department Of
ficials. They seek to renew loans
already being carried by other agen-
cics, in order to obtain more iav-
orable rate of interest or longer
time in which to clear up the indebt-
cdncss. Most of the loans made are
to take up old Indebtedness in whole
or part.
The total amount of loans made by
the rural credits department. since
operations began in 1919 is $13,G32.-
097.O0, of which about So, 100000 was
made by the farm loan department
under the Nonpartisan League ad
ministration, and about $1,000 00(
under the present Ncstos administra-
tion. For considerable period be.
fore the recall election of 1927 the
department was inactive.
The total amount Of applications
in the last two and 0ne-third years
is $35, lGS,6l5, considerable mum
her of applications. however, being
withdrawn after being made. The
total number Of applications was
S,941.
The department kept up high
average during the first three
months of 1924, loans for the three
months totalling 81 ,45O,000.00 and
400 individual loans being made. The
finance committee has approved
l 200 loans since the middle Of Jan
uary, and Il big volume of buslnt SIS
is in the making at this time. \ to-
tai of Sl2.449,745.00 loans is lin the

press it. Applications during the

BLOCKING LEGISLATION
Asserts That Republicans will
Make Every Effort to
Enact Big Program

Portland, Maine, April 3.-Scnate
Democrats, endeavoring to inflict in
jury upon the Republican party, have
succeeded in discrcditing both Of the
great political parties, Senator Pep
per, Republican, Pennsylvania, de-
clared in a "key-note" address here
today before the Republican state
convention. This discrediting pro-
cess has reached the point, Senator
Pepper asserted, that can irrespon-
sible and highly dangerous third par
ty has actually sugge sted itself to the
extremists as practical possibility"
The Democrats, he added, "have
aimed at us and hit America
Charges Partisanship
Senator Pepper charged that the
Democrats, making the most of their
strategic advantage in Congress. for
partisan political reasons nave
created a situation in which CON
structive legislation is difficult if
not impossible.'
As result, he continued, the ad-
ministration forces have been able
to do little more than to make a be-
ginning translation into law the pro-
gram laid down by President Cool
idge in his first annual message to
Congress.
During the residue Of this ses-
son," he said, 1--WE shall do what we
can to move forward in the right di-
rection and rely upon the great po-
pular Endorsement which we expect
to receive next November to give
us the momentum necessary to COM
plete our program
FavOrs Farmers
Declaring that the government had
done less for farmers in general
than for other economic groups, the
speaker said the constant effort OF
the wise legislators would be to re-
duce the spread between the farm
rer's price and the consumers price.
Two dangers are to be guarded
against, he went on, one an "emo-
tional emergency relief which wastes
money without doing good and the
other sectional legislation"

toward economy, the board of educa-
tion has adopted a proposal submit
ted by Superintendent Harry E. Polk
providing for the reduction of the
faculty of the city school from 38
to 81 during the coming year. All
teachers in the departments which
are to be continued during the COM
ing year have been reelected by the
board. As means of further econ
omy, the general salary schedule
was lowered somewhat as affecting
the maximum wage and only in case
teachers now, receiving more than
the established maximum, were any
material reductions made.

just been refused by the board of di-

The board advised group Of Eng

men from belonging to the organize
ton. Until there is a constitutional
change all applications from women's
groups are being turned down.
Intimation has come from London

with a friend: "It looks like will

plays the role this year. The Repub-

remember the old confident insolence
Of the party which claimed to be the
"only one fit to rule" and "the Grand
Old Party of God and Morality"
that this is the same crowd; how
cowed and tremulous they are, fear
full of what new issue Of the daily
papers may contain. Some leaders
have fallen, others are tottering to
their fall, and still others are tremb-

he is undoubtedly weak. They have
tried to liken his speechlessness in

Bassford Compares Republican De-
moralization With Attitude To-
ward Wilson Administration


The present decentralization of the
Republican leaders might be pitiful if
it were not so thoroughly merited
as a result of the campaign of Will
fication which they carried on a
gainst the Wilson administration for
two years prior to the election OF
1920. 1t is another verifcation of the
old adage that Chickens come home
to roost." Emerson expressed the
same idea in classical language when
he wrote his wonderful essay on the
law of compensation.
The Republican party is having
meted out to it some of the overdue
,engence for the thousand false and
sordid attacks on Woodrow Wilson
and his policies-attacks which drove
the party from power and Wilson to
his grave. It would seem that a par
ty which could be so merciless in at
tack would be able to show more for
titude in the day of it's adversely, but
the Republican leaders have plainly
lost their nerve; they are at the point
where they are seeing things-they
even flee when no one pursues: They
are distraught, accusing each other
working little and doing that little at
cross purposes. They are not merely
on the defensive, but many have sur
rendered and have given up hope of
ever being able to save anything from
the wreckage.
Coolidge will be nominated with
practically no opposition-largely be-
cause no one cares for his thankless
job of leading a forlorn hope. A Re-
publican said to this writer the other
day: "The democrats could elect a
