Merchants Co. Will
Not Borrow Big Sum
(Continued from Page ~

, the interest of the depositors (who
in effect own them). AS soon as
they pass into the hands Of the
PLEDGES, (who, as proposed, would
be a national bank and a state
bank) there Is fundamental
change in loyalty. Those banks
would be bound by law, IL a test
came, to protect their own deposit
tors first. II values dropped, they
might have to sell. To be specific:
suppose a sudden calamity serious
ly affected the stock market. II
this court held the securities 1t
could and would wait until prices
come back-but If another bank
held them, it would be it's plain
duty to It's own depositors to sell
at once. These banks are local
banks and would make the loan
principally as a community serv-
ice. In good times they would do
all in their power to save for the
receivership, and with their super
Tor knowledge Of security markets
would handle the matter better
than the court could. But in times
of stress they would necessarily
place their own interest first. There
Is an added difficulty. They would
have power to, repledge these Sc
curities to other institutions or
persons who would not have the
same interest in local affairs.
To borrow to pay dividend is
not good business, unless unusual
circumstances demand it. I con-
clude that such circumstances arc
not now present.
This receivership has been and
is ably handled. There is every
present prospect that the deposit
tors will be paid in full. Because
of the mortgages and the real es-
tate, it will take time. It Is reason
able to suppose that the securi-
ties in question can soon be sold
at an advantageous price, and
another dividend paid. In the
courts judgment, this will be bet
ter business than to cause the de-
positors (who are now receiving
no interest) to pay per cent for
the use of their own money.
Thanks of Court
Although this memorandum is
already too long, / cannot close 1t
without extending to the Citizens
and Manufacturers National Bank
and to the Colonial Trust Company
the thanks of this court for offer
ing to make this loan. 1t Is clear
that they could not legally do it
unless 1t was to their own business
advantage, but 1t is equally clear
that they were actuated by high
sense of public and community In
terest At time when banks are
being so widely, although perhaps
unjustly, criticised for not having
courage to make sound loans, 1t IL
refreshing to find in our own COM
! munity two institutions which are
willing to step forward and offer
all the assistance within their
power.
The receiver is advised not to
borrow money at this time for the
purpose of paying a ten per cent
dividend to the savings depositors
of the Merchants Trust Company.

Washington, July o.-(ReA new

sity Of Wisconsin law school and great

Among the questions to be decided
was what the subsidiary set-up should

old regional labor boards which
worked under the National Labor
Board would be reorganized or abol-
ished.
The new board was appointed by
President Roosevelt under the revised
Wagner labor disputes act. It has
power to arbitrate disputes from re-

Matter Is Discussed at Political
Conference Held Here
Saturday Night
70 LANCER MEN ATTEND
Definite Decision Held Up Pend
ing Approval by Frazier,
Lemke, Burdick
70 LANCER MEN ATTEND

Possibility that william LANCER,
still acting as governor, will call a
special session Of the state legislature
for purposes not yet disclosed doomed
Monday.
Rumor that such action was con-
templated spread late last week but
the report was denied by LANCER Sat-
urday.
Approximately 70 leaders Of the
LANCER party gathered here over the
weekend, however, and the matter
was discussed in detail. No decision
was reached but there were signs that
the call for a special session might
be issued. II this course is chosen
action will come soon, probably on
Wednesday.
What emergency would be declared
to exist In the event call Is issued
remains to be disclosed, but it is an
ticipated that one Of the real pur-
poses Of q special session would be
to revise the law In an effort to pre-
vent the custer Of LANCER from the
governors chair as requested in q
petition to the supreme court by Lieu
tenant Governor O. II. Olson, who
seeks to take charge Of the executive
office on the ground that LANCER was
disqualified from further service by
his conviction on . felony charge in
federal court. The nature Of such q
move, II any Is contemplated, was not
mentioned.
Would Probe Court Methods
Another rumor was that the legis-
lature would be asked to investigate
the workings Of the federal court and
specifically the activities Of p. w. La
nier as U. 8. district attorney. sched-
uled for q place ION the pam also.
according to this report, would be
Judge A. M. Christensen, q member
Of the supreme court and federal re-
lief administrator for the state.
The idea back Of this talk, appar-
emily, is to probe the activities Of both
federal departments with q view to
aiding LANCER In his appeal from con-
viction in federal court and to dis
credit the two men before the public
If it is possible to do so.
At meeting which lasted until
early Sunday morning, it was report
ed, q tentative decision was reached
to call the special session II such &C
ton met with the approval Of Lynn
J. Frazier. senior senator: william
Lemke, incumbent congressman, and
Usher L. Burdick, Republican nomi-
nee.
Another report was that, If q special
session is called, the governors friends
would institute impeachment proceed
ings to pave the way to give him q
clean bill Of health.
Another rumor was that state Of
ficials who had opposed the governor
In his policies, and particularly those
officials defeated in the June q pri-
mary election, would face impeach-
ment.
