BECHECKED0YER
Workmen's Compensation Com
mission Says Its Dough Is 1t
to Spend as 1t Pleases

Incensed because the state auditing
board objected to paying an expert
from Ohio $1,S00 per month for his
services with the workmen's compen-
sation commission. Attorney l.. j.
Wehe, of Devils Lake, member OF
the commission, this week took it up
on himself to hand down a formal
opinion in which he held that the COM
mission was given $4,000 to shoot as
it pleased, and that it's accounts were
not subject to audit by the state aud
ting bioard.
The state auditing board, which Is
holding up the commissions voucher
calling for $4,000 for the first two
months services of the Ohio expert"
and which also declines to O. K. a bill
for the rewriting of an old hotel build
ing in which the commission has it's
quarters, referred the matter to AS
sistant Attorney General Packard.
Mr.. Packard ruled today that the
workmen's compensation commission
is in no wise superior to any other
department of the state government;
that It's $4,000 is not "trust fund.-
as Mr.. Wehe indicated, and that the
commission must account to the state
for every penny it spends and that its
accounts must be audited by the state
auditing board in the same manner as
are those of other departments.

DENOUNCE -, TOWNLEYIsM

Turtle Lake, N. D., June 7.--Attor,
ney General LANCER and Senator F. w
Mees, Nonpartisan league leaders who
are touring the state in opposition to
the Townley socialist domination OF
the farmers movement, spoke here
Friday evening to an audience OF
more than $500 farmers, gathered
from all parts of Mclean couny., The
meeting had been scheduled for a 10.
cal hall, but it early became evident
that the room would not accommodate
the crowd, and the speakers finally de-
livered their addresses from an i'm
provised platform in the open air.
LANCER denounced Townley for his
insincereity; for his attempt to die.
tate to state officials against the die.
tates of their own consciences, and for
his false Leadership of the farmers
movement, which'is plunging the state
into the most radical socialism and
paving the way for Bolsheyism. Ian.
ger challenged Townley to prove his
assertions that THE officers who have
turned against him have become
tools of big business, traitors, crooks,
fools and towards" LANCER de-
clared that he was here in North Da'
kOta fighting the, farmers battles be-
fore Townley ever conceived his
dream of socialist utopia, and that
he was continuing to fight, in spite of
the efforts of Townley and fellow So
cialists to hamper.
Both LANCER and Mees thoroughly
| endorsed the economic features of the
league, program and urged the farm
ers to vote yes on the industrial COM
mission and the Bank of North, Da-
kota bill at the referendum election
June rs. They denounced. however,
Townley's efforts to save alleged
"graft and personal spite measures
by convincing the people that unless
they vote yes seven timesn's. the
league program would be je0pardized.
The speakers showed that the print
ing bill, framed and forced through

Of league newspapers; the board OF
administrator BILL the Sone-man tax
commission bill, the judicial redis.
tricting bill and the immigration bill
not only were measures passed for
private profit or the qualification OF
personal jealousy; that they not only
had not place in the farmers pro-
gram, but that they were actually in.
imical to the league movement and, if
persisted in, might result in wreck
ing the great organization which the
farmers of North Dakota have spent
three years time and three millions in
money to build up. ~ls
