awarding a contract for the erection
of school house in that district to
Erickson H Hellcickson WYE company of

tion brought by M. o. Almauist, j. 5,

proceedings was dismissed.
Facts stipulated to the court by
counsel for both sides indicated that

GREEN WANTS
AMENDMENT TO
GUARANTY LAW
Problem Is lO Protect Small
Savings lsclasit0rs and
Bank, llc Says

Among plans for the amendment
of the stt'c guaranty fund law which
may be pres n'cd TO the coming scs-
sion Of m, legislature for consid-
Grafton il: one advanced by G. x.
Green, managcr of the Bank Of North
DAKOTA Green recently attended a
conference Of Minnesota bankers at
which a depositors guaranty fund
law for that state was considered.
Green is quite frank in expressing
the belief that the guaranty fund law
in North Dakota has failed miserably.
1t has some $50 O,OOQ,0OO in liabilities
piled up against it and a prospect that
it will not fight clear for years, even
if the burden gets no greater, Green
pointed out. "Still.' he said, "there
is some good in IT, There usually is
some good in anything that is bad
| Just as there usually Is some bad in
most things that are good"
The main problem, as Green sees
| it, is to protect both the owner Of
! the small savings account and the
| banks. Persons coming in the in
vestor class would have to look out
| for themselves.
Special Prot tectiOn
| His plan is this: create Il Spcclal
protection for savings accounts of
81, 900 or less through a guarantor's
| protection fund similar to that now
| in USE This would protect the small
savings depositor and give him as
surancc that his money is safe. The
next step would be to limit the use
which banks could make of funds SO
deposited and limit the amount they
could accept from any individual un-
der such circumstances. The banks
would, by law, be limited in their
investment of such money to certain
kinds Of liquid and ultrn-cOnserva-
tive securities. thus protecting the
guaranty fund from likelihood OF any
drain being made upon it.
Banks which did not care to meet
the requirement ofssuch law would
be barred from accepting savings de-
posits.
"The man with from $40 to 1000
is not usually an investor. He is
saver" explained Green. "He hasn''
the time or the inclination to l0ol
for an investment So he puts his
money either in the bank or in his
sock. When he gets more than 81 .OO(
he then can look around for an in
ycstmcnt. His funds have krOwi
large enough to justify him in doint
something with them in a construc
tive way"
i The highest claim made agains
the present guaranty fund tOtalct
more than 100000.

Judge Gary, head Of the big steel

His organization holds its cOmpeti-
