LEGISLATURE MAY
HAVE FAILED TO
CARE FOR JUDGES
State Auditor Asks LANCER
Where New Salaries Are
to Come From

When the legislative assembly last
winter made North Dakota a present
of three additional district Judges, it
neglected, in the opinion of State Aud
itor Kositzky, watchdog of the treas
ury, to provide salaries for these jur-
lists and their assistants. The judicial
redistricting act creating the new Of
fices provides that all district judges
shall hereafter receive $4,000 per an
mum and expenses when outside their
home bailiwick, but it makes no specl-
fic appropriation for the payment OF
such salaries and expenses.
There seems to have been similar
oversight on the part of the state
budget board, for, although the omnl-
but appropriation bill was not finally
passed until after both houses had
acted favorably on the judicial redis-
tricting bill, no appropriation was
made for the additional judges. The
state auditor has asked the attorney
generals office for instructions. He
informs Mr.. LANCER that ne knows OF
no fund from which these salaries can
be paid and he expresses the opinion
that it would be illegal for him to pay
such salaries from any fund not spe-
officially set aside by the general as
sembly

Talk Of ''Neck. Tie Party Grows
! Out of Allegations of
Political Feud
BOWEN SHOT BY TAYLOR
Constable Fires Three Times
With Automatic-Victim
Carried Winchester

Beach, N. D., Aug. Beach Is
much incensed today over alleged ef-
forts to make political capital from
the killing Of NJ X. Bowen at his farm
eighteen miles south of Beach, by E.
W. Taylor, a constable of the same
neighborhood, during an alteration
over the replevenfng pf cattle owned
by D. R. Offley, a nearby rancher,
which had been taken up by Bowen.
Bowen was a prominent Lacquer in
the southern part Of Golden Valley
county, and socialist agitators here are
alleged to be endeavoring to make it
appear that Bowen was murdered be
cause of his politics. There are open
threats of a neck-tie party, in which
Taylor, who is confined in the coun-
ty Jail here, will feature, and prom
ises Of what Governor Frazier will do.
The Story.
The story as related by eyewitness
es of the shooting, D. r. Offley, own
er of the cattle, and John Stark, a
township constable, was to the effect
that the party visited Bowen's place
Thursday evening to recover some
cattle which Bowen had taken up and
which Offley had replevenined. There
were some words, it is said, over the
condition of the cattle. Bowen, it is
alleged, started for the barn in a high
rage, in spite of efforts of Taylor and
Stark to detain him. When he reap
peared he was, it is alleged, pumping
shells into a Winchester. 4
Constable Taylor swears that Bow
en- was aiming at him when he (Tay-
lor) whipped out an automatic and
fired two shots at Bowen. This failed
to stop B'owen, and, as he came OH,
Taylor, 1t is alleged, fired: a third
time. All of the shots, 1T was later

shot evidently was the one which
caused Bowen's death. Il. .,g'

Attracted to a window in her home
by the shooting, Mrs. Bowen, it is

they reported. the tragedy. Sheriff

an investigation as possible. This af.
ternoon an inquest is being conducted,
at which Mrs. Bowen and neighIbors
and the witnesses Of the shooting will
be called upon to testify.
There had been bad blood for some
time, 1t is said, between Bowen and
Offley and other of his neighbors. The
affair has created intense excitement
here, and the killing is fast develop

In spite Of hoppers, hot winds and

of prosperity this fall, advises Charles

There is an abundance Of hay, and
rye, which is now being threshed, is
averaging ten bushels to the acre.
General conditions are good, and while

will be fair, says Mr.. Lano.

He states that the workmen's
compensation bureau is about to
proceed to enforce the collection
of such premiums and that such
contemplated enforcement ef-
fects the rights and property of
thousands in North Dakota, and
he alleges that the act is void
and unconstitutional for the rea-
son that it violates Section two
of the constitution requiring that
all laws of a general nature shall
have a uniform operation; that
it violates Section 20 of the con-
stitution providing that no spe-
cial privileges or immunities
shall ever be granted which may
not be altered, revoked or re-
pealed by the legislative assem-
bly,; nor shall any citizen or class
Of citizens be granted privileges
or immunities which upon the
same terms shall not be granted
to all citizens. "
The relator holds further that
the act violates Section It's Of
the constitution which provides
that no tax shall be levied except
in pursuance Of. law, and that
every law imposing a tax shall
state distinctly the object Of the
same. The principal objection
seems to be, however, the classi-
fication of all employments,
with the exception of agricul-
tural and domestic service, as
hazardous.
