qualified Approval

Speaker Minnie D. Craig warned
members of the North Dakota house
Of representatives Friday that II "you
wish to do away with the few remain
ing banks in the state. cut the inter-
est rate to seven per cent"
After q prolonged and heated debate
the committee Of the whole, in which
the interest bill was being considered
recommended passage with the rate
fixed at eight per cent, the amount
suggested by the speaker.
! The bill Is scheduled for final vote
Saturday and includes q provision on
usury aimed to cut out finance
company carrying charges.
Mrs. Craig said cutting the contract
interest rate from nine to seven per
cent would bring disaster to the
smaller state banks.
She was supported in her fight by
L. L. Twichell. Cas- county, who said
1T looks like we're going crazy on this
stuff. In bad times the interest should
be higher, in good times lower. In
stead Of that some Of you members
want to do just the opposite"
A third OF the bills in the legisla-
ture now. he said, would ruin what
little credit the state has II they are
passed. The interest rate Of seven pei

ting the rate to seven per cent. "Hs
can't borrow at any rate" he said.
Rue Defends Measure
Seven per cent return on money L
good enough for any bank" Milton
Rue, Burleigh said. THAT Is greater
than the return on labor. and it won't
drive a dime from the state"
If we pass this seven per cent
rate" D. L. Peters, Pierce county. said
"a lot more Of the remaining l66 state
banks in North Dakota will fail"
Herbert F. SWEET. Kidder county
leader Of the majority, said you cant
hurt the chain banks with seven per
cent interest but you will cripple the
little country banks"
He explained that for one thing
alone the bill should be approved and
that Is because this measure will
make auto finance companies revami
their contracts and stop usury with q
lot Of extra carrying charges"

 'To go back to the old system of county control would mean c dis regard of all that has been ac- coDlplished in other countries: as If the world had stood still for 13 years" he said.

Chairman David A. Wilson of the democratic state central com mittee has unequivocally placed the democratic party in support of the movement now in progress in Con- necticut to register the state as in favor of the repeal of the eight eenth amendment. An official bull letin was issued Friday from the democratic state headquarters to all members of the state central committee inviting the attention of these district leaders to the national and state platforms of the demo- cratic party, both documents pledg- ing the democratic party to work for the repeal of prohibition.
 While the present activity on the part of Crusaders, the Associ- ation Opposed to the Eighteenth Amendment and other such organ izations is distinctly non-partisan the Democratic party of Con necticut will not shsrk its it's responsibilities in the repeal movement" said MT Wilson fin an official statement Friday, and the resources of our party organization throughout the state will be util- ized to make sure that every ef- fort is made to register Connecti- cut in favor of the repeal of pro- hibition. While the democratic party may contain members favor Ing prohibition the party is officially committed to do everything possible for repcaP.
 MT Wilson, as chairman of the democratic state central committee. has conferred with representatives of the organizations opposed to prohibition and offered to assume the responsibility for naming wet" delegates in the senatorial districts carried by the democratic party in the last election. This would handle eighteen of the thirty-fye districts. However, MT Wilson has agreed to aid'i in the selection of delegates regardless tho method adopted. His only interest Is that the entire activity shall be non- partisan and that a slate of sena- torial delegates. and delegates-at- large, shall be selected with an in- tense appeal to the electorate so that the election of fifty delegates opposed to prohibition shall be as- sured.

STATEMENT OF
 CITY FINANCES
Over Million Dollars in Taxes Due on List of
 l932
CAUSE OF THE DEFICIT

Non-payment of more than one million dollars in taxes due in 1882 is one of the reasons causing a cash deficit for the City of Water- bury in the fiscal year 1892 of $1,- ITO, ,4566.G6 according to a finan- cial statement submitted to-day covering the cash condition and cash transactions of the city dur ing the fiscal year.
 The statement appears elsewhere in the DRemocrat in to-day's issue and includes in addition, letters from Controller Daniel J. Leary and Mayor Frank Hayes. The Statement also shows a compar- ative, consolidated accounting of the condition of all funds for the years ended December 31, 1931 and December 31, 1892.
 The cash deficit, Controller Leary states was caused by: $1.147,SS2.80 in uncollected taxes which were due and payable in 1892; $61,- 980.11 additional transfer to the water department made necessary by our inability to collect water rents and the falling off of revenue of that department; $110. .,802.32 deficit in receipts from estimated resources other than taxes; the con tinued depressed state of business has resulted in unprecedented de- mands on the welfare department for relief with the result that, in this department, the expenditure has amounted to more than double the appropriation made for the year"
 Controller Leary points out there Is an increase in the outstanding bonded debt as compared with the amount outstanding December 31, 1881, of $48O,000.
 He explains that this increase re- suited from the sale of $1,000. 900 of funding bonds sold in 1892 to refund temporary obligations out standing on Dec 31, 1929 and the sale of $400,600 of water bonds, to provide working capital to carry on the construction work at the She paug reservoir.
 Controller Leary points out that bonds in the amount of $820,000 were redeemed Tn 1892.
 Assets during the year were .in- creased $1,252.883.33 the compar- ative statement will show.

Thirty-two state-1eascd trout streams, stocked with approximate. ly 120,O00 adult trout, 12,O0O or which bear tags. will be ready for Connecticut anglers when the trout fishing season opens April 15, ac- cording to q bulletin of the State Board of Fisheries and Game to- day.
 Chatfield Hollow Brook. Killing worth, and Branford River. North Branford, the latter reserved for women fly-fishers, are two new additions to the list of streams which now total over 200 miles or state-controlled fishing waters. over 100000 more adult trout 1000 of which vii also be tagged. are being held in reserve at the boards rearing stations for stock ing streams later in the season. The tagged trout have been placed fin the streams as a means of securing accurate state-wide da- ta on which to base Improvements in methods of stream stocking, &C., cordlng to Superintendent Arthur L. Clark. The tags are of red cel- luloid, haven numbers on one side and the words Return to State Board of Fisheries and Game" on the other.
 Anglers will find the tags in the internal body cavities where they have been placed without harming the fish. The new method of tagging eliminates the possibil- fly of tags becoming detached. It also modifies the danger of creat ing wounds where destructive in-
 fections may become esta bllshed
 = not uncommon occurrence when metal tags are fastened to fish externally. the bulletin states.
 The State Board of Fisheries and Game urges sp0rtsmen to cooper ate by mailing tags to the office of the board at Hartford within one week after they are found with the following data: CD Name and address of angler. CD name of stream, (3) date fish was caught. (4) species of trout and tag num- Der. (5) location in stream fish was caught (above or below leased area, upper or lower portion of leased area), (6) location in rela- ton to landmarks.
 To encourage return of the tags with full data on all six items, prizes will be awarded after close of the trout fishing season on July 15. The prize winners will be de- cided by drawings from all tags received with complete information requested. Sporting goods manu- facturers and fish culturists have offered to supply prizes. A Rhode Island commercial fish hatchery will send some lucky angler 100 live half-pound trout. Over 100 other prizes, including rods, lines reels, clothing, rubber boots, etc. will be awarded. Special prizes have been offered for tags secured from the women's stream.
 Additional information desired on the tagged fish, but entirely op- tional, will be of interest to all anglers when compiled. That is:
