II you refuse this challenge 1t Ia
then clear that you intend to proceed,
regardless Of the legality OF your acts

autocratic Imperial power.
The entire educational system of the
state is unsettled by reason of exist
ing conditions. The institutions under

your course of action. The salaries
of all teachers and employees may be
held up by state officers who have no

To have this condition remedied at
once is Of the utmost importance to
the people of the state.
We are willing and anxious to have
the question immediately settled by
the highest court Of the state. Are
you?
If so. you will institute or cause to
be instituted an action to try our title
to the office we now hold and we
challenge you to institute such an ac-
ton. "

be judicially settled at the earliest OPP

because Of that ground. will not offer
amendments.
If, however, the senate should line
UP for the bill, amendments would
then be offered. and the suffrage
measure would come UP for consider
alton. I@,-.
In the house. the bill did not carry
equal suffrage. That question was laid
before the caucus Of the Nonpartisan
league, but was abandoned.
Suffrage workers, however, point
out that If the league constitution is
adopted by the state, then the pro-
posed constitutional amendment for
equal suffrage. passed by this assem-
bly,, falls by the wayside. The amend

Board of Regents Next Week.
It is likely that the state senate will
take up the board of regents issue
again next week. The appointments,
submitted last Monday. have been in
the hands Of the state affairs commit
that body.
Nothing has been definitely deter
mined yet, but 1t Is generally under
stood that the committee will recon-
mend to the senate, the confirmation
Of two OF the appointees, to fill posi-
tons which would have become vacant
under ordinary conditions this year.
The governor, however, has five
names before the senate. on the theory
that the old board Of regents was IL
legally appointed.
Issue Not Joined.
So far, the issue with respect to the

has not been Joined. The governor has
declared the posts vacant, and has
notified the institutions directed by the
board of regents, that. all acts Of the
board will be held invalid. s..
It will not take long, it is believed,
before the issue will get into the
courts. ..~. r.
Attorney Aubrey Lawrence of Fargo
is representing the board Of regents,
while the states side OF the issue will
be handled by the attorney general.

Resolved: That the farmers in
attendance at the Trf-state Grain
Growers convention, and representing

able David Houston, secretary of as
riculture, that in establishing grain
grades. especially for wheat, due con-
sideration be given to the milling and
bread producing qualities OF the same,
and that less prominence be given to
the weight per bushel and other pure
ly physical properties. We also give
It as our belief that a fewer number

press that you have supplemented this
by notifying the heads Of the various
educational institutions Of the state
that all acts of the present board are
illegal and will be so treated and that
a new board, appointed by YOU, will
be considered as the only legal board
Of regents. s" 1a-
The present members Of the board
of regents deny your authority to
terminate their term OF Office and Gust
them. and the state senate has also
refused to confirm the appointment Of
the new board.
There Is but one proper way to set
tie this controversy and save the sew
eral educational institutions Of the
state from disorganization and chaos
and that Is to secure a speedy judi
cial determination as to whether or
not you are legally correct or whether
this board In.
The present supreme court Of this
state has jurisdiction to settle matters
of statewide interest, such as the
present controversy. On our part we
feel that the entire court 10 fair and
competent and as q majority Of that
court is composed OF members chosen
by the same political party that placed
you in Office, you certainly should
have no fear nor doubt as to the fair
ness OF competency OF Ln6L court.
We, therefore, demand and challenge
you that you submit this controversy
to the supreme court of this state and
we will voluntarily appear in any
proper form Of procedure to test that
question. The present board cannot
institute such an action as Its mem
bers are in possession OF their respec-
tive Offices under claim OF legal right
and the court could not take jurisdic-
ton Of any action instituted by them.
You and your appointees can institute
