department, showed. Deposits on
October 25, 1925, totalled SSs,oa4.-

Combined resources and liabilities
of all banks reporting at the last
call were $S9, ,637 ,G25.93 comp.r red
with $S8.6s6,39s.l3 in June and
$lO3, 3,O83,9 3,982.36 in October 4 year
ago.
In October, 1925. however, 491 state
banks and four trust companies re-
ported and in June 438 banks and
four trust companies reported. The
steady decline in the number of
banks reporting is considered to be
one of the outstanding features OF
the banking situation in the state.
Some have closed their doors but
many have consolidated with other
banks, giving many towns one bank
in good condition instead of two
weaker banks, banking department
officials said.
Total reserves in banks when the
report was made was $l3,828, ,2O3.97
compared with $11, ,39l ,98420 in June
and $15,226,57l.4l year ago. The
total reserve required is $4,495,-

Banks in Good Shape
That many banks are in good shape
to meet the demands of dcpositors
is shown by the fact that funds due
from approved reserve agents in
creased $2,O7O,120.78 in comparison
with last June. Because of reduced
deposits the item shows decrease
over last October. however.
That North Dakota real estate has
been moving in larger volume than
for some time past is disclosed by
the fact that items listed as "other
real estate" have decreased $71,-
O24.35 since last June and $271, ,688.6
since October, 1925. Sharp drops in
the book value of banking houses,
furniture and fixtures and in the
volume of loans and discounts also
are noted.
Loans and discounts are placed at

ANDREWS AND
WHEELER HAVE
VARIED IDEAS
One Wants Immediate Manu-.
facture of More Whiskey
and the Other Objects

Washington, Nov. 23.-LR-The
treasury department. seat Of the gov
ernment's prohibition enforcement
machinery, and the Anti-Saloon
League have different ideas about
the necessity for manufacturing legal
Lincoln C. Andrews, the assistant
treasury secretary in charge Of dry
law administration, feels that the
mSsnufacture Of 100000 gallons Of
whiskey Is needed ut once to replen-
ish the diminishing medicinal stocks.
His superior, Secretary Mellon, takes
the same view.
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
for the league, differs from the two
dry chiefs. contends a shortage Of
the medicinal stock could be replaced
temporarily by importation of liquor
from abroad, and asserts that defi-
be worked out.
Mellon Prefers Local Manufacture
Mr.. Mellon has no sympathy for
the proposal to import whiskey from
abroad. He believes that it win be
easier to assure pure supply of
liquor il It is manufactured in this
country. He also feels that domestic
manufacture would be easier to con-
troll from the viewpoint Of illicit
diversions.
Andrew plan calls for creation by
congress at the approaching session
Of congress Of q government super
vised private corporation to take over
the existing supply Of 15,00O, 900 gal
Ions Of medicinal whiskey and begin
at once, the manufacture Of more
liquor to replenish this diminishing
stock which he estimates, will be ex-
hausted in five years.
Mr.. Wheeler says the league is
maintaining an "open mind" with
respect to authorizing manufacture
In this country again, but adds there
Is possibility" that q bill being
drafted to carry out Andrews propos-
81 might meet objections to the re-
opening of the distilleries.
Aside from this, however, the An
drewg plan can be expected to fur
nish congress with new vehicle for
reaching the prohibition question.

He has looked perhaps little

AT the first meeting of the coun-
Gil last spring every judge in atten-

OF Justice, according to Chief Justice
Am. Christianson who will be chair
man of the winter meeting and who
took the first steps to organize the
Judges of the state into body
which would speak with authority on
Judicial subjects.
Much Data Secured
Data which will be presented at
the meeting has been compiled by
Judge Christianson from question
naires which were sent to county
clerks throughout the state. The
clerks cooperated splendidly and
did much research work to aid in
the investigation, Christianson said.
One of the facts disclosed, he said,
was that the present law permitting
indiscriminate filing of affidavits Of
pre- judice against a judge or u coun-
ty. has operated to clog the judicial
machinery. In many cases it has
resulted in cases being dropped,
freeing the defendant entirely, while
in others it has resulted in long de
