Representative Harris
Is Prominent Member

Bismarck. N. D., Jan. 13.-One of
the most interesting members of the
10th assembly is Representative j. A.
Harris of Mercer county, a staunch
Lacquer and a pioneer in cooperative
farmers movements in Minnesota and
North Dakota. "Uncle Jim" is one of
the best known, most loved and most
independent league leaders on the
Slope. He. learned a whole lot about
politics back in Minnesota, where he
was a power among the farmers for
many years, before he came to North
Dakota. He was one of Governor
Van SAINTS firm friends and strong
supporters. He was telling yesterday
something of the difficulties with
which the employment committee Of
the house met in picking out it's re-
duced staff Of employees from a list
Of 800 applications.
ut reminded me of one day down
in st. Paul when Governor Van SAINT
called me into his Office and said:
Jim, in there on my table you'll find
a list of men, who think they should
be dairy commissioner. I wish you'd
man you believe is best fitted for the
job Il went into his private office
feeling quite cocky about the job,
and there l found a list of 400 names
awaiting me. I waded through them,
though. and picked out a man, and
he got the job"
Uncle Jim is best known on the
Slope for his thorough-going Ameri-
canism. He was put on the Mercer
county draft board after several mem
bers had been removed by the gov
| ernor for cause, and he made good.
And in spite of having to step upon
some toes among his own constituents,
Uncle Jim was reelected to the 10th
assembly, by a big majority.

TEACHERS ASK
FOR PROTECTION
From All Sections of State They
Oppose Change in Tenure of
Office Act
en sreciaI Correspondenf.

eU 0HCCtQA Of1ctNON0CNIs
TRENTON, April 1@Strong senti-
ment against senate bill so which was
introduced by Senator Macikay in Feb
ruary, was expressed yesterday after
noon by several teachers and princi-
pals of schools when that measure
came up for a public hearing in the
senate chamber. This legislation is
concerning the tenure of office of
school teachers and other officials and
IL passed would abolish the present
tenure of office act.
The bill was referred to the COM
mittee on education and 1t provides
that any board of education in the
state may discharge any teacher,
principal or supervisor by n three
fourths' vote of the entire membership
with the approval of the county, city
or district superintendent having jur-
isdiction over n school district.
The bill further stipulates that a six
months sotice in writing specifying
n or more aso why the services
are unsatisfactory must be submitted
to n who is about to be discharged.
The statement declares that the pres
ent tenure of office act is not salts
factory to the majority of educational
boards in the state and that the new
would provide a suitable
manner in which incompetents might
be discharged.
About fifty teachers and school
principals from various sections of the
state voiced their adverse opinion con-
corning the bill and there were only
two men who spoke in favor of II, one
being the president of the Federated
Boards OF Education, and the other a
member of the Camden board. The
teachers asserted that they should
have some protection n that the
law as it now stands affords them
such. They brought out the point that
there is a dire shortage OF instructors
all yer the country and unless an
inducement Is made, persons will not
at all.
