Bismarck, N. D., July 2s.-The
last Official act of the Frazier board
of regents, which expired by statr-
tary limitation last Saturday, was to
accept the resignation of Mrs. Min
ME Clarke BudlonE, secretary Of the
North Dakota library commission
since its creation i'm 1907, and a
public servant for more than four
teen years. Mrs. BAdlong had asked
that she be granted leave of alb
sence of one year or that her resig-
nation be accepted, because of her
need for a complete rest to build
up her health The board of regents
accepted the second alternative, and
Mrs. Budlong viii her long term
of state service September !.
Mrs. Budlong had been engaged
two years with the state land COM
mission prior to the. creation of the
public library commission in 1907.
When she took charge of the depart
ment there. was little to build from.
The state superintendent of public
instruction had turned over $500
volumes. There was on organization,
aud not a great deal in the way of
precedent. Mrs. Budlong has built
the commission up to it's present
high degree of efficiency, with a file
of 1880 books and 38,62s clippings
covering an unlimited variety of sub
jects, and with 314 travelling librar-
les, including 12,709 volumes.
The commission thru Mrs. Bud
long has been instrumental in estab-
fishing a large number of city, town
ship, school or community libraries,
and has stimulated q general interest
in library work, especially in the ru-
raj districts, where the Libraries
have been in constant circulation.
The success of the North Dakota plan
las attracted wide attention, and
Mrs. Budlong has been much in de-
mand to address conferences of IL
brarians Of state and national scope.
There has been no intimation as
yet as to whom Mrs. Budlopg's sue
cessor will be. Mrs. Budlong plans
September i to take long vacation
which she trusts will restore her fall
ing health. She has has a particu-
larly strenuous six months, expan-
sion in the work Of her department
having kept her much in the field.

REFUSES TO

USED BY ASSEMBLY

Bismarck, N. D., July ga bill
for $500 presented by the proprietor

rental of committee rooms in the
Northwest hotel building during the
10th assembly was rejected at a
meeting Of the state auditing board
this morning with Governor Frazier
presiding. Attorney General LANCER.
moved that the bill be not allowed
because, he stated, there was NO rec
ord that tie legislative assembly had
ever authorized the use of these
rooms. Arrangements for the rental
of the dining room and other quar-
ters in the Northwest hotel building
we're made, it is said, by Secretary
w. p. Prater of the senate and Chief
Clerk George A. Totten, Jr., Of the
house without any formal authori-
zation. The state board Of control
rejected the bill on this grounds, and
the auditing board today was pre-
sented with an affidavit to this effect
from Simon j. Nagel, q member of
the board.
It is expected that in order to OBJ
tain relief the owner 4of the quar-
ters for which the state auditing
board refuses to pay will seek TO
have a special appropriation made by
the next assembly. The rooms. which
we're merely partitioned of to q
height of seven feet with straw
board, were not altogether satisfac-
tory, and It is predicted that the plan
to procure special appropriation
from the next assembly may meet
with some opposition.

COMMISSION WILL
PRO TEST I ! AGAINST
CHAlleE' IN ! \. RATES {
Proposed Change. Would
Mean Great Increase u
Costs to the Consumer.

Bismarck, N. D., July 29.-The
railway commission will enter a
strong protest on behalf Of North
Dakota shippers at conference 20
be held in Chicago tomorrow against
proposed changes in perishabie
freight tariffs which will greatly in
crease costs to consumers, it is said.
The railway administration pro-
poses a schedule of uniform rules,
regulations and charges for protec-
tion of. perishables in transit from
heat and cold. The schedule sug-
gested would materially increase pro
lection rates on potatoes from North
Dakota to points south and east.
It is also proposed that an addi-
tional protection charge be made on
legs than carload shipments of but
ter. The rate suggestedswould be
i1S1z cents per hundred pounds on
butter from Bismarck to Minnea-
polls in excess of the present tari1f.
: Heretofore the protection of per-
isha bles has been included in the reg
ular freight tariff without any ex-
ira charge. At the conference in
Chicago tomorrow the committee
representing state railway commis-
sions, the shippers and the consum-
ers will seek to prevent the adoption
Of new rates for less than carload lot
shipments of perishables.
The new rules also would provide
that the carriers are to assume no
liability for damage to perishables in
transit unless it be shown that such
loss was caused BY their neglect. The
committee hopes to secure an amend
ment to this rule which will allow
the burden Of proof in such cases to
remain with the carrier, as it is at
present, sag
