showing made In the petition, answer

The court ruled that under the law
the governor cannot summarily re-
move a member Of such a state com

was not done by Governor. Lynn ].

was laid fully before congress while
the bill was under consideration, this
serious reduction has been made Ap-
parently on the ground Of economy. ]
do not believe it is real economy,
showever, because it will, certainly
hamper the department in its efforts
to aid the farmers of the country In
ing The people, and will also handicap
the department in administering some
Of the important regulatory laws en-
trusted to it for enforcement. The
projects or activities to be curtatled
or discontinued in 70 far as the de-
partment has any discretion in the
matter, have beenN determined only
after a very thorough and careful re-
view OF the whole situation, taking all
the factors into, consideration"
Here are some Of the things that
will result from the reduction in funds
according to Mr.. Meredith:
Hog cholera eradication work. so
far as the department is concerned,
will have to be completely abandoned
in several states.
Field Work Cut.
The force of men in the field show
ing farmers how to save their hogs
from cholera will have to be reduced
from, 140 to about "a.

which now have the services Of S to 8
