Some Time Ago
ECHO OF RECENT SKIRMISH

" LANSING, Mich. June lS.--An echo
of the recent fight between Gov Os-
born and his political enemies came
today when the governor signed an
order requiring Robert Shields, OF
Hancock, state tax commissioner, Is
appear June 20, TO show cause why
he should not tender his resignation.
II Is known that the charges pre-
4erred by Gov. Osborn against tax
Commissioner Robert II. Shields were
signed this morning by the depart
ment of state.
In the attorney-generars depart
ment IL was learned that Roger |.
Wykes, OF Grand Rapids, had been
retained as special counsel in the
case, but Gov. Osborn declared the
matter is not public property and will
not be until copies have been served
on the tax commissioner
1t Is said that charges cover 10
typewriter pages, but the executive
ONCE refuses to make any statement
in the matter.
Some time ago the governor de-
..manded the resignation of Shields.
Vbut the commissioner declined to
sever his connection with the tax de-
partment.
Not long ago Shields gave out a
letter for publication purporting to
show that W. Frank Knox, manager Of
Gov Osborn's campaign, asked him
TO raise $4,000 in the upper PENN
sula for campaign expenses. Osborn
ISSUED a statement saying he knew
nothing of the letter. After move
ment was started TO GUST Knox as
chairman OF the central committee,
he went to Chicago TO take up work
with the Roosevelt headquarters
there.
