COMMISSIONER
NOT INCLUDED
IN RECALLLAW
.-.E ..,...-.. --s9 --------, 5.t4,.-,< -Dg
Supreme Court Makes Decision
in EmmOns County
o.. Case
ELECTIONS RESTRAINED
One Commissioner Already Re.
called in Dunn County May
Get Seat Back
ELECTIONS RESTRAINED

The supreme court has decided that
the recall provision Of the state con-
stitution does not apply to county
commissioner, the decision being rem
dered in upholding District Judge Nc.
Kenna.
The contention of Frank Cough
nour, commissioner of Emmons coun-
ty, sought to be recalled, was that
the recall law does not apply to an
officer of any political subdivision less
than a county, and further that since
a county commissioner was elected in
a district he was not county officer,
so far as the recall provision affected
his office. His contention is upheld.
The county auditor of Emmons
county had issued call for an cleo
ton March Is, and for this reason
the supreme court fastened its de-
cision.
One commissioner already has been
recalled, in Dunn county, where Sen
ator Liederbach, Nonpartisan, engi-
neered the recall in the strongest Sec
ton of the league territory in Dunn
county. If the Independent commits
stone regains his seat under the de-
cision the Independents will control
the board of county commissioners OF
that county.

mons county case were Cameron ana

pected that the drive will be complet
ed before evening, so that a report
Of the number of memberships secur.
ed may be reported to the officers
and directors of the State Good Roads
Association the following day when
they meet here for a conference
Chairman Loubek is particularly anx
ious to make a record for the city
in this matter, and is urging all citi'
Zens of Bismarck to be ready when
the committee calls upon them to
take a life membership in the only or
ganiZation in the state that is pledged
to secure truck system of highways
for North Dakota.
Bismarck has never fallen down on
any campaigns for funds thus far, and
at this time it cannot AFFORD to fall
down when state organization, which
has made it's headquarters in the city
asks for support, when the funds so
taken in on memberships will prac-
tically all be spent in this city.
Chairman Lou'bek is asking for at
least 200 life memberships at $25
apiece, and he feels that there should
not be any trouble whatever to secure
this amount. OF course there are many
citizens who can only afford a IS an
nual membership, but all who can
possibly to do so should take a life
membership and thus fel that they
have a larger interest in the state
wide program of the association.
Do not put the committee off when
they call. Their time is as valuable
as your time is, and they are doing
something that you have been excused
from doing. Let US all put our shoul-
der to the wheel and put over this
campaign in the usual Bismarck way.

Washington, March IAN appeal
to the American people to do every

The president declared that al
though the nation already had given

for the task.
"Since the beginning of this relief

trolman Joseph Ryan and a negro
were wounded in, interchanges OF
shots between( police and negroes.
Three companies of Ohio National
Guardsmen were on duty today. Mil
itary law has not been declared.
The trouble, which started shortly
before midnight with the shooting of
Patrolman Ryan after he had ordered
a group Of negroes to disperse, was
the outgrowth of an assault last Mon-
day night on 11-year-old Marge Fer
neau by anannknown negro who es-
capped. g. H.
Rumors that he had been arrested
caused crowds of whites to gather at
the county jail. Wednesday, Thurs

population, approximately one-eighth
OF whom are negroes, racial feeling

WEHE RESTORED
TO HIS J OBJ IN
STA 7 E BUREAU
Supreme Court Holds Him En-
titled to c. NJ. Spencer's
rs y, Place
REASONS ARE SET OUT
Hearing Given Him Held n Not
Sufficient in the Eyes of
REASONS ARE SET OUT

The supreme courss, in a decision
handed down today, holds that Lau-
reau J. Wehe was. not properly re-
moved as commissioner of the work
mems compensation bureau, in a de-
cision in which Justices Bronson,
Christianson and Birdzell uphold
Wehe's contention and Justices Rob-
inson and Grace dissent.
The court in making its decision
upholds District Judge w. l.. Nues
sle. Wehe was removed from the po-
sition OF commissioner of the work
mems compensation bureau last win
ter, nearly a year ago, by Governor
Frazier. Recently c. NJ. S. Spencer,
of Williston, was appointed a com.
missioner to succeed Wehe.
The opinion of the court states that
the order does not affect any dis
pute there may be between Wehe anu
Spencer over the question Of salary
while Spencer has been serving, no:
going beyond the decision that the
order Of removal was void and max
ing restitution of Wehe as commits
slOner.
Justice Bronson, in writing the
opinion in the Wehe case, holds that
where the governor did not accord
to such commissioner a hearing as
required by law, and where the CON-
missioner refused to be sworn as a
witness unless such hearing was ac-
corded, it is held that jurisdiction
was not conferred to order the re-
moval Of the relator as commission
er.as upon default"
When Governor Frazier removed
Wehe a series of causes was set out,
among them being incompatible
and inability to work in harmony
with other commissioners. Wehe de
manded hearing. and appeared III
the governors office with an attor-
ney, but refused to be sworn. Wehe
alleged that he was not given oppor-
tunity to prepare his case, and that
the so-called hearing was not hear
ing in accordance with requirements
of the law.

Commissioner Wallace To Take
Railroad Case Action

Tax Commissioner George E. wal
lace announced today he will ask dls-
missal of about 40 lawsuits brought
by railroads, chiefly against schooi
districts in various parts of the
state, alleging excess tax assessments
Wallace will proceed under law
made by the legislature which ad-
iourned March 4. This law provides
that litigants bringing an action
against a public corporation to SCI
aside assessments or to recover taxes
already paid must submit the com
plant to the county commissioners
for adjustment before starting action
in the courts, and dismissing all ac-
tions heretofore brought on motion
in district court.
In some of the districts the rail-
roads alleged the school districts
exceed the legal limit Of taxation.
The suits were brought chiefly by
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific railways.
