Another Question Up \
CONSTITUTES REAL ISSUE

Attorney General Hanger and Judge
S. l.. Nuchols Of Mandan leave this
evening for Fargo, where tomorrow,
with Judge w. S. Lauder of Whape-
ton, they will fedend the state against
the attack on the industrial program
Of the 10th general assembly launched
in federal court by committee of for
ty taxpayers.
There remain twot important ques-
tions. Chief of these is that as to
whether the money to be derived from
the bond issues authorized by the six
teenth general assembly is to be used
tor puolic or private purpose. Judge
Lauder will principally discuss this
question I'M behalf of the state. G.
f.. The taxpayers in their complaint
contend that the building of terminal
elevator and flour mills, the purchase
of farms and establishment of homes
and the financing of banks, for which
the funds to be derived from the sale
Of bonds is to be used, are not public
purposes, but are essentially of pri-
vate nature II the taxpayers can
sustain their contention, then Judge
Amidon must rule under Article IA of
the constitution that this is seizure
Of the taxpayers money for private
purposes without due process of law
and that the taxpayers constitutional
rights are being infringed.
The state will contend that terminal
elevators, flour mills. state banks,
ETC., are public institutions, destined
to be operated for the public good, and
that funds invested in such institu-
tions are public funds. The state will
argue that the building of homes and
the purchasing of farms. as provided
in the home-builders' act is for the
public good and that any public funds
os invested are being used for pub
lie purpose. They viii! cite in support
Of their contention the government op-

The second question involved is
whether the state is a party to this
action. The defense contends that the
state cannot be sued without it's con.
sent and it insists that insofar as con-
Germs the taxpayers effort to restrain
the use of funds appropriated from
moneys now in the state treasury, the
taxpayers action is suit against the
state and that inasmuch as the con-
sent of the state to be sued has not
been obtained, such suit cannot prop.
erly be brought.
William Lemke and Frederick A.
Pike will appear for Governor Frazier,
Commissioner John N. Hagan and the
state industrial commission.

MISS NELSON'S
0TEREC0RDED

Minot, Nov. 1.-THE Education
commission, made up of Governor
Frazier's appointees, selected for him
by Neil C. Macdonald, and Miss Min
ME J. Nelson, held meeting last
evening in hotel parlor to dispose
of matters coming before* that body
during the North Dakota Education
association. 81. - *
Miss Nelson, as state superinten-
dent Of public instruction, is chair
man of the commission and presided.
She had been given a tremendous
ovation by the teachers of the state,
and received the pledge of support of
state educators in the resolutions
passed at the closing session of the
association. So Mr.. Il Macdonald's
commission was feeling just trif1e
,peeved at her. "

Macdonald were was brought out
near the close of the meeting. A mat

the commission, that of deciding
upon the time of the eighth grade ex-

TO REFUSE
UNION WITH LABOR

'''There need be no fear of the farm
ers uniting with labor or with any
other force to try to accomplish the
impossible or to bring by force re-
suits not for the best good of all
American citizens"
This statement was made yesterday
.by R. D. Cooper, president of the
Dairymen's League, in response to an
inquiry as to the attitude of the
farmers of the state in regard to the
movement initiated by Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, designed to bring
producers and labor together in close
alliance, political and otherwise.
Farmers in general are not contem-
plating any alliance with labor to con-
troll production or for any other pur
pose," he said. "The farmers of
America are perhaps more concerned
than any other class over the unrea-
sonable demands of labor unions. The
farmer believes many Of the troubles
of the present time are due to unfair
treatment of the laborer in the past,
but he knows that the present de-
mands of labor if insisted on will
wreck all industry.
"The farmer is the only one who has
not struck nor thought of striking. AL
though he is tremendously affected by
the shortage of labor, which has left
him for the attractive wages of the
city that he cannot pay, he is work
ing harder and producing more than
ever before; and contrary to general
opinion, is not getting rich at it eth
er, for his costs have gone up and he
receives only small proportion of
what the consumer eventually pays"

JEWISH RELIEF
DRlVEC0MlNC

Fargo, Nov. 12.-Prominent Jews
representing every part of the state
will hold conference here on Sunday,
November 18th to plan North Dako-
ta's drive in connection with the series
of state campaigns by the American
Jewish Relief committee, the Central
Committee for the Relief of Jews Suf-
fering Through the War, and the Jew
ish Peoples Relief Committee, to raise
S20,000,000 with which to save Eu.
ropes 100000 war-stricken Jews
from starvation.
Judge Harry N. Fisher, Of the Mu-
nicipal Court in Chicago, and one of
that city's most brilliant speakers, will
address the conference. Like the
drive now on in Illinois, the campaign
inthis state will be along non-sectarian
lines, in keeping with the policy of the
Joint Distribution Committee which
has sole control Of the distribution of
American Jewish relief abroad and re-
lieves distress regardless Of the race
CT creed of the people in need. In the
Chicago drive Col. Abel Davis, of the
Prairie Division, is chairman of the
campaign committee, and Julius Ros-
enwald is it's honorary chairman.
Judge Fisher, who has spoken in In
diana, where a similar drive is under
way at present. as well as in his home
state, will touch upon the general
plans and many Of the details that
have made and are making other cam
paigns so successful.
He will also tell of the conditions
which the latest reports show to exist
in the regions which the war has left
utterly wrecked and desolate and
where hundreds of thousands of re-
turning refugees facethe winter with
out food or homes, without fuel or
adequate clothing. and with only such
medicines and medical aid as A,r2sira
can get tothem at call Of need made
urgent by the rapid spread of disease.
Among the states that have already
gone over the top in this series Of
relief campaigns are South Dakota,
