Say Mandan School
Is Badly Crowded

Crowded conditions Of the state

necessary to grant early paroles to
some Of the boys and girls to relieve
the situation. Superintendent w. f.
McClelland says in his biennial re-
port to the board Of administration.
Two hundred seventy-six boys and
girls were committed to the school
In the two-year period ending June
80, 1882, he said.
He said the rule Of the school Is
that no parole is granted until the
student has been there at least q
year and q half.
owing to crowded conditions we
have had to break this rule more
than once by letting boy or girl
with an exceptional record 60 under
close supervision" he reported.
Ages Of students admitted to the
school In the last biennium showed
the majority ranging from Is to 20
and the major offenses as burglary

ing department, reports to Commits
sioner Of Insurance s. A. Olsness.
The report has been turned over to
the legislature.
The trend Of financial conditions
is reflected In the amount Of claims
against the fund, he said.
Defaults have been most numer-
Gus since 1929, the period Of financial
depression"
"Prior to the year 1920" he said,
"the financial condition Of the state
and Its subdivisions was very favor
able. Losses resulting from wrongful
acts Of public officials were few and
bank failures were practically UNI
heard Of.
During the period following, banks
began to fail in rapid succession, re-
sulting In claims amount to enor-
nous sums on account OF public
funds tied up in closed banks.
Hard times naturally followed
bank failures and deflation OF values
and temptation to use the public funds
presented itself to the thousands OF
treaSurers or cuStodianS over the
state, resulting In numerous claims
against the department on account
Of defaults and entertainments"
Tunell said that in 1919 and 1920
when the period Of deflation had
not yet taken its grip upon the ma
ton" there were only three claims
filed on account Of defaults. These
totaled $4,000. There were no claims
then on account of bank failures.
For the years from 1921 until 1926
when the greatest number OF banks
failed, he said, IAN enormous amount
of claims" were filed.
In this period there were IS claims
totaling $l25,000 on account Of de-
faults and 43 claims totaling $657 600
because Of bank failures.
In the years from 1926 to 1929, he
said conditions became favorable
again and the number Of claims was
IL, totaling $4,000 on account OF de-
faults and nine claims totaling $2l..
600 on account Of bank failures.
From 1929 until 1882, Tunell said
the number increased to - With
claims Of $4,000 on account OF de.
faults and % with claims Of $4,000
on account OF bank failures.
He recommends as q cure for EN-.
bezzlement more complete account
ing by governing boards Of all rec.

Tunell reported the bonding fund
was in sound condition with sub.
stantial" profits earned from 1880
and for 1891.

A statement issued Friday night by
walter ]. Maddox, vice president OF
the North Dakota Farmers Union
said the organization Is not seeking

THE Farmers Union organization
IS not sponsoring the political ambi.
tions Of any individual or set Of indi-
viduals and Is not promoting nor
sponsoring anybody's political ap-
pointment at the hands Of the LANCE:
administration, any gossip notwith-
standing. Any attempt of newspapers

terested in the welfare Of North Da-
kota,s 10000 farmers. facing bank
ruptcy in common with the 5000, 900

1.-THE Farmers Union Is very much
interested in the attitude Of the farm
loan department Of the Bank Of North
Dakota toward the delinquent home
owners who find it impossible to pay
interest and taxes with 25-cent wheat
and two-cent hogs. We declare thai
the foreclosure of the home Of any
honest, industrious family for delin-
quent interest installments or delin-
quent taxes is a calamity during this
crisis.
1.-The Farmers Union organization
Is also interested In some kind Of leg
islation that will keep our small coun-
try schools open and furnish farm
children some hope of an education.
1.-THE Farmers Union as an organ
ization and as individuals has great
confidence in the LANCER administra-
ton and it Is our wish to cooperate
with that administration in every way
for the welfare Of all Of our people.
We are not seeking to advise or die

from his illness to actively take the
reigns Of government. that whenever
he is in need Of the counsel and ad-
vice Of the Farmers Union, 1t will be
available to him at his CALL"
