Fargo. N. D.. Jan. 21.-"A CO.

of having the associations strictly for

members Of the North Dakota Rail-

railroad commission which they ask
the legislature to consider.
Three times now. since I have

there has been opportunity for the

officials" said Secretary ]. B. Calder
head today. This department urged
the governor to make a recommends
of a measure which would be put to
the people as a constitutional amend
ment changing the terms of the rail-
road commissioners to six years.
AT present the commissioners are
elected every two years. If the plan
which was suggested to the governor
were put into effect, at the next cleo

A bill providing for the appoint

/, The state budget board in it's recent
survey of state departments Incl
dental to preparing an estimate of
the money needed in the next two
years, slashed the railroad commits
sion practically in half. Among other
applications of the pruning knife, the
budget board cut the salary of, the
commissions accountant from $4,000
to $4,000 per year. The salary of
rector of public utilities is entirely
eleminted as is the salary to the de-
partment "chief engineer" who had
been paid $4,000 per rear.
League members of the board insist
that the refusal to grant the So
called $4,000 deficit to William
Lemke, attorney general. is of vital
concern to their department. In the
measure presented in the house and
the senate for an appropriation OF
$1,000 for trial df pending cases OF
the attorney generals Office, the
money is claimed to be needed Ia

tons. The railroad commissioners
however. would give the impression
that the entire fund would be used to

which resulted from the refusal OF
the old commission to grant a IS pei
