Elimination of one bank in Tuttle

Under the arrangement Tuttle will
have one bank, held sufficient to
take care of the needs of the COM

National Bank of Tuttle all will be
taken care of in the voluntary liqui-
dation. Mr.. Remington declared il
was necessary for the best interests
of many small communities that

Mr.. Heimark, in his formal state
ment, said: After careful consid.
GRAFTON on the part of the Board of
Directors and stockholders of the
First National Bank of Tuttle, we
have come to the conclusion that it
is the part of good business and
economy to eliminate one bank at
Tuttle. The volume of business of
this locality will not warrant the
overhead expense of two banks at
this point. We feel that the com
munity can be better served with the
elimination of one of the banks. For
these reasons, after taking it up with
Mr.. p. c. Remington and associates
of Bismarck, we have completed ar
rangements whereby all checking &C.
counts and savings accounts will be
transferred from the First, National
Bank of Tuttle to the Tuttle State
Bank, and all c. DIS. or time certi-
ficates will be transferred to The
First National Bank of Steele, and
by them taken care of. We are
pleased to announce to our patrons
our arrangement with Mr. Reming.

take care of your interests to the

DEMOCRATS HALTED
May Change Their Plan of
Attack on the Bill Follow
ing Statements

Washington, April lS.--(By A. PD
On the basis Of reports that Presi
dent Coolidge probably would ap-
prove the pending insurance soldiers
bonus bill, some Democratic Senate
leaders are considering the advis
ability of within olding their proposal
for incorporation in the measure of
a full cash payment option.
Report Of the Presidents attitude
was received through American Leg
ion officials, Democratic senator's
said, with the word that inclusion
of full cash payment option re
quiring an immediate government
bond issue would endanger the pros
pect of the bill becoming law.
While Senate Republican leaders
expressed the opinion also that the
insurance bill had better prospects
than q combination insurance and
cash measure, it was stated that no
word had been received as to the
Presidents attitude.
In his message to Congress Presi-
dent Coolidge made the brief COM
ment that he favored no bonus bill.
With the prospects that the
| measure might come before the
Senate late in the day and at least
tomorrow Democratic leaders
| planned to confer further during
the afternoon on the position they
| will take as regards the full cash
| payment.
Senator Walsh, Massachusetts, a
| Democratic member of the finance
committee, who has been drawing
up minority report on the bill
with view to demanding a cash
option said that while many Demo
Gratis thought This substitute would
be a much better bill, both for
iVeterans, and the government the
tparty did not wish to stand in the
way Of success of a bonus measure.
Washington, April 1S (By the A.
PA clear vote was in sight today
for the soldiers bonus and tax re-
duction bills in the Senate.
Senator Curtis, Republican, Kan
sas, sponsor of the bonus measure
l mas announced ne WOuld ask tnat the
bill be made the order of business
Immediately on conclusion of the i'm
migration discussion and Chairman
SmOOt of the finance committee
plans to call up the revenue bill as
soon as the bonus measure has been
disposed Of.
Not more than a week is expected
to be consumed in consideration of
the bonus bill, with the issue drawn
between proposals for the insurance
proposal passed by the House and
reported by the Senate finance COM
mittee, and a combination bill in
cluding provision for full cash pay
ments as an alternative of the insur-
ance.
| Passage Of a bill by large ma
| jority regardless of the outcome Of
the contest is generally predicted.
Democrats are the principal pro-
ponents Of the cash payments option
proposal while the insurance plan
with provision for cash payment
to veterans not entitled to more than
$50 in adjusted service credits has
the support of most Republicans.
