The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1932-11-15
THE BSMARCN TRIBUNE TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15 1892

Representative of the Twin City chain
banks, declared it was the best recon-
mendation he had read in a long time
for chain banking. Canada. he point
ed out has nothing but chain banking
There are practically no private local
banks in the entire Dominion, he
said"
Mr.. LANCER proposes to follow
President Hoover's plan and as soon
as elected call in a group of experts
to examine into what is wrong with
the banking structure In North Da..
kota. In his Bismarck speech, he
frankly admitted, Il don't know
where I will get the banking experts
from and I don't know what it will
cost. but am going to follow the ad-
vice given by them"
Speaking of the department Of
closed banks under the direct control
and supervision of the supreme court,
Mr.. LANCER said in his Bismarck
speech:
IF a bank goes busted in Minot,
they get busted banker from Willis
!, ton to take charge of the busted bank
in Minot, and If bank goes busted in
Devils Lake. they get busted banker
from Minot to take charge of the
busted bank in Devils Lake. and these
, fellows are getting paid from 5000 to
$3.50 month and they are getting it
out of the poor people who had their
money deposited in the bank"
Mr.. LANCER fails to challenge the
supreme court for the operation of the
department, which to date has receiv-
ed no criticism from anyone but him
apd whose general record for eff
cheney has been matter of consider
able comment from one end of the
state to the other. ignoring the part
the supreme court plays in control of
this department, Mr.. LANCER offers
only this as remedy:
Would Fire Whole Outfit
II say to you that if I am elected
governor Of North Dakota. am going
to get rid Of the whole outfit of them,
fire everyone of them, if I can get
authority to do 1t and don't think
it will be very hard to get that au-
thority If you elect such men like Mr..
Mcdonald and Bill Falconer to the
legislature"
Mr.. LANCER in speaking of depositors
across some women who lost their all
who were now working for SO cents a
day as Scrubwomen. One of these So
cent-a-day scrubWomen he told his
audience was q woman over 70 years
of age. Here it is in Mr.. Langer's
own words:
Some of these old women over 70
years of age are out working as scrub
women at so cents day if they are
able to get work at ALL"
Inquiry at the state compensation
commission revealed the fact that
scrub women unfortunately are not
protected under the minimum wage
laws. 1t was stated, however, by
charity officials that they would like
to secure from Mr.. LANCER the names
of any women of whatever age who
are working for whole day for SO
cents and relief will be immediate. All
they want are the names and the ad-
dresses.
scores ExamlnatlOn
Another angle Of the banking sit
uation Mr.. LANCER takes up is bank
examination.
Said Mr.. LANCER in his Bismarck
speech:
and then you 60 to these men who
have been in charge of affairs and
you ask them how it happens that
all these banks go closed, and they
will tell you it is true they have gone
broke and while it is true we have
lost $50. 100000 in closed banks in this
state, just look at the banks that
have gone broke in South Dakota,
Iowa and Minnesota"
His position on employment Of
married women, Mr.. LANCER defined
definitely in his Bismarck address.
# he can help it after Jan. next no
married woman whose husband has
Job will be employed at the capitol.
He did not disclose how this would
be effected but the inference has been
he will seek legislation to cover this
situation and to abolish all nepotism
at the state house, an attitude which
doubtless is generally approved but is
meeting with opposition from several
Nonpartisan League officials who en-
ploy married women. Mr.. LANCER in
his Bismarck speech relative to en-
ployment of married women said:
why should these married. women
get job up in the capitol when their
husbands are working, earning a
good salary, and all they are using
the money they earn for is to get
more silk stockings and silk under
wear, or making payments on a new
car or on radio"
Hints at Figure
In concluding this portion of his
speech, Mr.. LANCER promised to do
all in his power to supplant married
women from the state payroll whose
husbands were in employment. How
large salary these husbands must
have before their wives are ineligible
for state job, Mr.. LANCER did not
say, but he limited that the figure
would be around $3.50 and $500 a
month. Others close to Mr.. LANCER
assert that any married woman
