Wilson. Agricultural Commissioner and Eugene IT. Porter, Foods and Markets commissioner be removed for alleged inctiiciency.
 ''Thc public interest demands an early determination on the part of the council of it's stand on this most inn portant matter,' the governor wrote to William \. Dana, president of the council to whom he sent the original copies of all the evidence taken by the battle commission in it's inquiry into the workings of the food agen- cies of the state When a commis- sioner of the standing of Mr. Battle sets forth definite recon mendation of the dismissal of the twoE executive heads of your department and speci- fes the exact grounds showing their inetffcicncy and incompetency for their positions. if would seem that due regard for public opinion would compel the speedy determination by your council of the issues.
 '''The charges against Commissioner Porter have been before your body almost four months. The people of the state will be impatient for an answer to these charges and any un- necessary delay in the examination and determination of this matter will tend further to decrease public con fidence in your department"
