HAS FRAZIER |F!! LOST HIS
OPPORTUNITY TO NAME
ANY REGENT UNTIL 1919
Legal Advisors of Present State
Board Contend Governor Is
in a JACKPOT

Has Governor Frazier, with all Of
his numerous expert advisors, permit
ted himself to be placed in jack
pot which will prevent his naming a
single member on the state board Of
regents during the present biennial
period?
Frank White Of VALLEY City, who
himself did good job of governing
a few years ago, contends the gov
ernor has, and so do the legal repre-
sentatives of the present board.
When Mr.. ,F'raziers first nomna-
tons were rejected by the senate, IL
became his duty under the laws of our
state to submit another list for the
approval of the senate stated Mr..
White today. This he failed to do
Instead, he three times messaged to
the senate his original slate of five
members for the board, and three
times the senate rejected these nom

1t is not the sentiment of the pres

nations reflects in any way upon the
calibre of the men themselves. They
contend the senate rejected the NOM

son that the governor had no right

at the time, as, under the law Great
ing the state board of regents, only
two vacancies existed The governor,

not take advantage Of his opportun-
ity to name two members, to sue
coed Emil Scow of Bowman and J.
A. Power of Leonard, whose terms
would have expired this year and
successors been nominated, confirm
ed and otherwise qualified, and as a
result, the old board claims, the chief
executive, unless the supreme court
should rule the entire five out Of
Office, must be content for the next
two years with the present personnel.

for the governor. If he is still gov

DODGlNG ISSUE.

Ever since Governor Frazier vetoed
the terminal elevator bill, the official
organs of the league have continued
to intimate that the bill restricted the
elevator to some pcint outside the
state.
The issue of location is not involved
in the veto at all, never was and
cannot be, because the bill put power
in .Frazier's hands to place the eleva,
tor wherever he saw fit. 1t might be
we'll for the official papers of the
league to print the bill in toto and
tell their members just what the bill
provided, rather than intimate what
the vetoed law contained. The facts
are near at hand, why go far afield to
explain?
Here is sound logic and econom-
les for you in the daily organ of
the league:
"The markets of the Northwest are
we'll organized against North Dakota
and especially against North Dakota
cities and towns. The program of
state ownership of Industries to be
located within the state of North Da-
kota, proposed by the Non-partisan
league, is of especially great promise
to the cities. 1t means fully as
much. if not more, to the cities and
towns Of the state than it does to the
farmers. Its proposal is to use the
states power to establish in the state
the industries that should and would
have grown up here but for the inter.
ference OF railroad rates and 4 mar
keting combine designed for the pur.
pose of building up terminal cities at
the expense of the country which
feeds them"
North Dakota must market her
products at terminal points, such as
St. Paul. Duluth, Minneapolis. Buf-
falo and other points. If mark .ting
combines exist at those points there
is no power that North Dakota can ex-
ert to extirpate them. Federal legis-
lation or a reformation of .ie guilty
states are the only means OF relief.
Why Frazier should veto a terminal
elevator bill because coinhine ex.
lists at st. Paul or Minneapolis is not
apparent. The elevator could nave
been built in North Dakota under the
terms of the bill, far removed from
the evils which the league paper in
sists would cripple such an institu.
ton.

FRAZIER'S VETOES.

In all fairness to Governor Frazier,
any criticism Of his vetoes must be
prefacedt by the assertion that he
had to trim and prune the budget.
The voters, however, will hardly rel
ish the manner in which he applied
the veto power Political pique over
the failure of the league. program is
so evident as to be transparent.
Animus was first shown in sending
the terminal elevator bill to the scrap
heap. Kitchen economy was practic-
ed in looping off $4,000 for the rate
expert employed by the railroad COM
mission Mr.. James Little refused to
stultify himself by supporting the per-
nicious eastman bill and 29S. behind
which is story that some day may
be given to the state in all it's ugly
proportions.
A commission without a rate ex-
pert is handicapped in its efforts to
protect the shippers Of the state
against rate determinations. If Gov
ernor Frazier had studied over a way
to play in with the railroads he could
have found no better one than to cut
off Mr.. Titles official head. Mr. Lit
tie was too close to NJ. p. Johnson,
member Of the commission and state
president of the Society of Equity, to
please Mr.. Townley and his satellites.
Governor Frazier decided that Sc irl
year for paid orators to uplift the
farmers was of more importance thar
81, 900 a year to see that the farmers
of the state were not heeced by un-
favorable freight rates.
His attitude toward Dickinson is
surprising in view of the vote this
proposition received at the election

900 for new buildings, which could
easily have been dispensed with III

But Dickinson will not forget the
morsel it received in lieu Of promises
made by Governor Frazier in pre-
election speech.
The attempt to cripple the board of
regents and to drag the educational
institutions of the state through the
mire and muck of politics will make
no friends for the governor Doubt
less some legal way will be found to
force the payment of the salary of
the commissioner of education and
the necessary expenses of the board
of regents
In the meantime, the voters ha<.

eminent. No one can criticize the
curtailment of expenditures for the
erection of buildings, except in those
cases where the state had given a
specific pledge, but the suspension
of salaries to appease political pique
brings its own condemnation.

grounds that the cost of collection
