Langer's Position
On Several Issues
Excites Curiosity

gets $4,000 year, has secretary that
gets $4,000 a year, and he has an as
sistant secretary that gets $4,000 a
year, and registrar that gets $4,000
a year. and an assistant registrar that
gets $4,000. and he has a girl by the
name Of Dorice Terrell who works for
him that gets $4,000 a year. and they
have a publicity department that ad-
vertiseS the merits Of the Agricultural
college.
Hits University Salaries
Nov if you go over to the univer-
sity, the president of that institution
gets salary of $4,000 a year and he
has three assistants all Of whom live
in state buildings with heat and light,
and they have football coach that
teaches % fellows to play football for
two or three months in the year. and
they pay him $4,000 year, $1,000 a
year more than Governor Shafer' gets.
And it seems to me that it is about
time that we had some one who has
CUTS who will go into these public in
situations in the State of North Da-
kota and weed out those who are not
any good and cut down the salaries of
those who are getting more than they
are entitled to SO they will conform to
the salaries of other state officials
who are getting much less"
Initiated laws, however, have slash
ed salaries in some instances some
20 per cent. If Mr.. LANCER is going
to put the salary of the presidents Of
the two leading educational inStitu-
tons on par with that of governor.
which after Dec. will be $4,000 a
year. there is more salary trimming
in the offing, either through legis-
lative action or through the board of
administration. which Mr.. LANCER
ultimately will control by virtue of
appointment.
His attitude toward banks and
banking is being quietly Investigated
by the financial scouts Of the Mime
apolis chain banks. In the same Bis
marck speech, Mr.. LANCER voiced his
opposition to chain banks and said if
elected he would do all in his power
to bring back to the state banks mil
lions deposited by the Bank of North
Dakota in institutions outside the
state.
Refers To Chains
Referring to chain banks, Mr.. Lang
er said:
The third bunch that are opposing
the election of the Republican party
in this state are the chain banks in
Minneapolis.
They are absolutely opposed to us.
Now then what interest have those
chain banks in Minneapolis and st.
Paul paid to the state of North Dako-
ia. They have paid Is of one per
cent, and when some of our own small
banks want that same money back
they have to pay 51a and 6 per cent
interest to get that same money back
into the state of North Dakota"
Commenting again on the North
Dakota banking situation, Mr.. Lam
ger said:
In the primary campaign I went
along those eight counties bordering
along Manitoba and Saskatchewan
and over to a place called Edwards
vile. near Bottineau county, and I
found those people across the line are
just about the same kind of people
that We have over here -. >. and yet
while SIS banks closed here in North
Dakota in the last IL years. not one
bank in Saskatchewan or Manitoba
closed. not one. While $3.50 banks
closed in the United States with losses
OF over eight billion dollars, how
many closed in Canada? Just one.
And as soon as that bank closed in
Canada the government paid in full
every depositor. and they took every
one of the directors and they put
every official of that bank in the PEN
itentiary. That's the way they did
over there"
