COMPLETED SOON

Wolf POint.-A. w. MahOn, dis
trict supervisor of the state high
way commission was in Roosevelt
and Valley counties last week. He
said that the work on the new fed

that the contractor in charge of the
work will very shortly move a big
grading outfit, which is now work
ing near LewistOWn to this project
and that present plans are to have
all the dirt work and bridges COM
pleted this fall.
1t is very probable that parts

20 miles of what has been poor road

member who did not praise the pool
and its work. These who did not join
again were a couple who could hold

While there can be no question of
the healthy appetite of Montanans for
potent beverages, if my own observa-
ton and the experiences of the local
federal prohibition administrator can
mean anything, the people are begin
ming to entertain some grave doubts
as to their sentiments on the prohibi-
tion question.
Much as they like and have liked
their spirits, the people of Montana
Nave always preferred to be classed
as dry community and said as much
when they went to the polls back in
1916 and voted themselves a bone dry
statute.
This phenomenon of the dry thinker
and wet drinker is to be met with an =
where between the Mississippi and
Rockies. Men have staggered to the
polls to cast a dry vote. 1t is all right
for them to take drink. They know
what they are about, but prohibition
is good for the other fellow. And the
other fellow does and reasons like
wise. 1t is a philanthropic gesture for
which the Westerner, in the main, ex-
poets approval and commentator.
The inhabitants of Montana, il
would appear, however, are not sc
sure that they want to continue this
policy, and are to put their feeling OF
/ the subject to the test in what
amounts to an initiative this fall OF

How Fund Is Administered


The Nebraska bank guarantee law
has these outstanding features.
Assessments are ample to create
real guarantee fund for normal times
and the guarantee fund may be en-
hanced by a special assessment. It is
also conserved by the bankers con-
servation fund created to prevent the
closing of banks that may be kept
going until they can adjust their diff
ficulties. The guarantee fund is ad-
ministered and conserved by the guar
antee fund commission, consisting of
seven bankers nominated at district
bankers meetings called for the pur-
pose, and appointed by the governor
from three nominees in each district
to serve for three years under oath
and bond of $4,000 each, with per
diem COMPENSATION. This commission
has no jurisdiction over solvent banks
except in an advisory capacity. But
when the state banking department
has reason, upon report Of bank ex-
aminers CIR otherwise, to take charge
of a bank, the commission ascertains
if said bank may be maintained as q
going concern. In this case they ap-
point a banker to take charge of the
bank and straighten out its affairs
If found that it cannot be kept going
the guarantee fund commission ap
points a receiver, usually a member
of the commission, to wind up its .af
fairs.
The bankers conservation fund i
created by an assessment of not tx
exceed one-fourth Of one percent o.
the average daily deposits Of an!
bank during the year, or in excess
of one-third of one percent of de
posits at any one time. This fUmC
! is kept in their own banks as a sep
arate fund subject to call when need
ed by the commission to help SOM
