DR.. e. G. Craighead, Commissioners

gents, will lose his position July next
as a result of Governor Lynn Frazier's
veto of the appropriation for the sal
airy for that office.

state rail. commission, also is slated to
go out July ], as a result of the gov
ernor's veto of the appropriation for
the salary for that position. Only the
emergency commission has the power
to make provision for the retention OF
the two officers now.
Nonpartisan league enmity to Mr.,
Little developed during the last days
OF the recent legislative session, grow
ing out of his failure to give approval
to, the socalled Dupuis freight rate
bill, an adaptation of the Minnesota
railroad commission rates which the
Nonpartisan league sponsored as a
legislative rate act in this state.
Reduced Job 10 One Year.
Nonpartisan opposition to Craig
head has been apparent for some time,
and found form in the recent legis-
lature in the limitation of the approp-
being proposed to abolish the work

the work a year earlier. DR.. Craig
head, who is now engaged in work at
the state agricultural college, is
handling the board Of regents plan
for the unification OF courses Of study
in the states educational institutions.
and he also was member Of the sur
Vey commission.
Apart from the vetoes Of approp-
riations for various institutions, is the
veto of the appropriation made for
the expenses of district court judges
