BANK OF N. D.
.»« W
No Ispi^nce of Registered
Checks Under Independ
ent Administration.
Bismarck, N. D., Junfe 14.—The
Bank of North Dakota is now pass
ing through a period of liquidation
which has resulted in the withdrawal
of f2,000,000 of funds within six
weeks. Heavy drafts -from the state
treasurer, county and city treasurers
for the payment of current bills or
meeting bond maturities is respons
ible for the situation, which probably
will continue for some time.
There will be no registered checks
Issued by the Bank of North Dakota
while under the management of C.
iW. Greene, however. This is made
very plain by Mr. Greene and other
officials-connected with the bank. A
careful system of management has
been invoked to preserve sufficient
funds to meet all requirements.
The available cash of the bank on
May 1 was $S,5S2,725\18 and on
June 12 had been reduced to $1,520,
084.04, through heavy- withdrawals.
The total of cash was swelled two
months ago by payments of tax funds
by county- treasurers to the state
treasurer. In the redistribution of
£unds much of the money has been
paid out almost as fast as received.
Year-end school bills, have also
caused a considerable drain on tho
bank.
In addition to meeting needs of the
various sub-divisions, the' bank has
been called upon to "carry" the farm
loan department for a period. Under
the present system of the farm loan
department, because of the laws un
der which it operates, the depart
ment is not able to create a surplus
to cover a period between 'closing
loans and issuance of bonds. Delay
In approval of bond issues by Chicago
attorneys, however, has been chiefly
responsible for the fact that the
bank has found' it necessary to ad
vance about 9500,000 to the farm
loan department, to be paid out to
farmers to whom loans were made.
'The bank will be reimbursed as soon

bank, the management has pursued

Delegates and visitors to the .con

Merchants' association in session at

topics. R. U. Berdahl of Aberdeen,
secretary of the Soutn Dakota Retail
Merchants' association talked on the
protection of the retailer, and John
Taylor of Minneapolis told, of correct
and incorrect methods of salesman

Berdahl Speaker.
MrvV||erd%hl, in discussing "Tbe
Protection of the Retailer," declared
that he believed the best kind of pro-.

"We need more than anything the.

Among the specific problems which'
confront the merchant and for whiiili
"proteetion" or aid Is needed, Mr."
Berdahl mentioned store burglaries,
restoration of confidence, iimprove-.
ments of credits, insurance of various
kinds and laws. ,He pointed out that
at the present rate of crime one store
out of every four in this state will be
burglarized during a twelve-month
period. For a small amount of
money Mr. Berdahl stated that *.!
burglar alarm system could be in
stalled. and a community vigilance,
'committee in every community could
be created, as a means of partially
meeting this evil. In South Dakota
Mr. Berdahl said, they are advocating
a state constabulary, to work on such
cases as burglaries, bank robberies,'
hold-ups, etc., with jurisdiction over
all the state, and not limited in' au-:
