Ruling Is Made by Supreme
Court in Reversing District
Judges Decision

An agreement or petition by de-
positors to liquidate bank is not
binding until it is approved by the
court, according to a decision OF the
North Dakota supreme court.
The court held that in hearing OF
an application to hquidate q bank
under chapter 80, laws Of 1927. where
it appears that depositors signed a
petition or agreement to nquidate IN
q representative capacity, it must
also appear that they had authority
to bind those whom they claimed TO
represent.
Declaring that the agreement or
petition Is not binding until 1t Is ap-
proved by the court, the supreme
court ruled that petitioners may
withdraw their names from the petit
ton at any time before such approv-
al. and II the withdrawal leaves less
than 80 per cent of the deposits rep
resented on the agreement or petit
ton, the application should be de-
MED.

Rising Again

Lynchings are ON the rise again
and nothing is being done about
them and very little said No longer
can the stereotyped answer be given
of remove the cause" The causes
are of diversified nature The rea-
son however, behind them is knowl-
edge that the government does not
offer protection from lynchers. This
type of anarchy should awaken the
knowledge in the beast of the law
makers that II strikes at the very
seat of the government and that Il
threatens our system of law and or
der. 1t might be well. that state
ment issue from President Hoover
Such routine statements have had
little direct value but a moral value
in strengthening the courage OF
those who are battling against this
evil. A law with teeth in II 10 pun
ish lynchers would not precipitatc
a new civil war. II would have the
same effect on those who break Il
as those who tamper with the in
come law. When the United States
passes a law that IL intends to en-
force then that law Is respected
There are certain laws of this nation
that are not respected because they
are not enforced A law against
lynching that will be enforced will
help to make this nation much more
civilized and human.

a whole lot better The propaganda

We must smile-perhaps little

visible on their hands and feet--can
be crushed.
To the people who have been our

which we give relief TO our pent-up
emotions of the DAYS passed-and,
