Whereas, the prices now realized
for the agricultural products Of the

Whereas, the cost of such machinery

Official in the state-A Already Existing Provides
for Removal Of Officers for Maleasance NonFeasance
in Office.

such violations or neglect of public
duty as will justify the removal from
office of any public official, and plac-
ing the power to hear and determine
the same in the most sacred tribunal
of the land, which is less Influenced
by the political passions and the pub
lie clamorings than any other part of
the tribune system of government, yet
in the face of this law, an attempt is
made to take the power from the
courts and place it in the hands of a
man who must of necessity be large
ly responsive to the political passions
and antagonisms which elected him.
Nor is this all that is concealed
like the fangs of poisonous serpent,
in the bill under discussion. The
governor is given despotic power to
suspend upon his own initiative and
without any restraint or basis save
his own mind and determination, any
officer in the list recited above. The
wording of the bill is:
Whenever any charges are filed
against any officer as herein provided,
and the governor is satisfied that such
charges are we'll founded, the gover-
nor may suspend such officer from
Office, If he shall deem the public in
terest so to require"
Any one can file the charges, and
then look at the wording Of the pro-
posed law, "and the governor is salts
fled that such charges are we'll
founded" he may proceed to exercise
his imperial rights and suspend the Off
Ger. What is necessary to justify his
satisfaction? What evidence must be
produced? What things must be es-
tablished? Not single line or word
fixing basis for the same. Merely
the autocratic will of the governor.
1t is despotism worse than that of
Russia.
Now look at the political machinery
sought to be thus established. A
governor is elected who desires to
establish around himself an unassail-
able bulwark He holds in his hands
the right to suspend, whether with or
without cause except as the COVER
nor shall Judge, any county official
Even honest men would shrink from
the disgrace of being thus indirectly
charged with crime. He would not
fear an open and honest trial. But in
this case he does not have the right
of such. The heat of election is on
and it would be easy for the governor

Oklahoma City, Okla, Jan. 29.-Re-
suits of a solid and substantial char
acter are promised by the big conven-
tion opened hero today by the Okla
homa Retail Dealers association. Tie
attendance OF visitors ;ustifies the
most sanguine expectations of those
who arranged for the gathering. The

city. Mr.. Heyman introduced Presi-
dent H. Y. Thompson of the Chamber

ness, the association listened to sew

a wide variety of subjects of intercs,
and importance to the retail mer-
chant Foremost among the matters to
receive attention are ways and means

Bismarck, Jan. 29.-It is possible
that,in no other state with the excep-
ton of Maryland, where the governor
has the right to appoint all the Justices
Of the peace and the constables as
we'll as many of the other officials,
was there ever as great attempt made
to create.a political machine as that
which is possible under the bill which
has been introduced in the house by
Mr.. Sorley of Grand Forks. The bill,
II enacted into law, would give the
governor as tyrnnical power as is
exercised by the most despotic prince
and official in Russia Some idea Of
this power may be gathered from the
wording of part of the BIZ, which
reads as follows:
"The governor of the state may re-
move from Office any railroad cor1inis-
sioner, clerk of the district court,
judge of the county court, sheriff,
coroner, auditor, register of deeds
states attorney, county superintend-
ent of schools, county commissioner
or county treasurer, wherever 1t ap-
pears to him, by competent evidence.
that either of such officers has been
or is guilty of malfeasance or non
feasance" in the performance of Off
cial duties.
1t can thus be seen that the gover-
nor has the power to override the
will of the people and to set at def
ance their rights practically without
appeal. The spirit of the bill is that
the governor can do no wrong, and
this doctrine has long since been
knocked into a cooked hat in every
country except Russia and with VAL
ley City muckraker, statesman from
Grand Forks, one from Grafton and
8 possibly one sfrom Bottineau. The
present law-section 949S of the re-
vised codes of 19O5-makes ample
provisions for the removal in judi
cial manner of all officials guilty of
neglect or violation of official duty.
The reading of the statute follows:
'In addition to the penalty fixed by
express terms to every neglect or
violation of official duty on the part of
public officers, county, city, town or
township, or state officers not liable
to impeachment, when it is not so
expressly provided, they may, in the
discretion of the court, be removed
from Office"
Here is a law as broad and as COM
prehensive as it is possible to make it,
providing for the consideration of

Bismarck, Jan. eff the vote re-
Gently taken on the resolution intro
duced in the house by Representative
Buttz Is any basis upon which an
opinion can be founded, the present
powers that be are emphatically op-
posed to giving any expression OF ap-
probation to the men who during the
last fortnight have been working nighy
and day in temperature far below
zero, and facing the icy blasts of the
north in order to keep the railroads
open so that the fuel may reach the
people who are in danger of suffer-
ing. 1t is we'll known fact that the men
who have shoveled snow on the tracks
and who have fought the battle with
"the elements" have shown a courage
and a fortitude as great as was ever
shown by the patriots of the battle
field. They have been paid for their
services it is true, but the wages re-
ceived by these men are wholly inade-
quate for the sufferings they have
endured. There has been no call to
duty, no stirring fife nor rafting drum
to rouse the spirit until self was for
gotten in the zeal for the common
good. The men who have made pos
sible the opening of the railroads
Of this state have shouldered their
shovels in the morning and without
any inspiration except the silent call to
duty have faced condition that would
make the stoutest heart quail.
Major Buttz proposed to express to
these men-the fellows who shovel
tine snow and fight the plows through
the drifts and the engines carrying
their freights of passengers and fuel
to their destinations, over the storm
swept rails, the men who stand at
their posts TO flag the coming trains,
holding the lives of hundreds of their
fellow beings in their hands, and re-
naming with feet and hands frozen
showing fidelity to duty worthy Of
the commentator of the world-the
appreciation of the people of the state
for their work. The resolution with
the preamble reads as follows:
Whereas, owing to the many storms
and the great quantity of snow that
has fallen over the state during the
present winter, and the continued vio-
lent winds blowing and drifting the
snow, we recognize and appreciate the
magnitude of the effort being made
night and day by the officers and en-
ployes of the railroad companies,
whose lines traverse our state to keep

Mr.. Casey and Mr.. Rose of ickey. But
as a matter of fact if the saving of
the people from freezing, the opening
of the roads and the shoveling of snow
from the track so the coal could be
sent to the suffering people, depended
upon the efforts of these, there would
be little relief. Only recognition OF
the efforts made and the hardships
endured by these men was asked for,
and this refused them. There is an
undertone among the members that
