BURKE COUNTY CASES SETTLED

Bowbells, N. D., July 22.-Affairs
in Burke county may now pursue the
even tenor of their ways following a
; supreme court decision settling the
last of a multitude of court cases, the
outgrowth of the November, 1920.
election, in which incoming and out
going county officials, some Of them
differing politically, made charges of
fraud and illegalities. The last case
to be settled returned John O. Grubb
and II. A. Kirkille, independents, to
the offices of county commissioners,
from which they had been removed
by former Governor Lynn J. Frazier
before he was recalled last October.
The former governor issued the re-
moval orders on petition Of Burke
county citizens charging abuses. In
this decision the supreme court up
held District Judge Buttz of Devils
Lake.
Immediately after the election Ed
Drinkwater and John 0. Grub, indie
pendents, contested the election of
Andrew Nelson and Jake Dewing,
non-partisans, to the Offices of sheriff
and county commissioner, respective
ly. The supreme court upheld Judge
Cooley of Grand Forks in declaring
frauds had been perpetrated and
Drinkwater and Grub were entitled
to their offices. C. j. kopriva, nom
partisan, haG instituted suit stimuli
taneously with this contest against
Lawrence Nelson, retiring treasurer,
for $166,O00 which Nelson had depo-
sited in various banks, Judge Lowe of
Mimic ordered the money returned to
the county treasurer and the higher
court affirmed him. The question in
volved was the right of a county
treasurer to place certain funds en-
certificate of deposit and the status
of banks as a legal depository at the
time. Mr.. kopriva was also impl-
Gated in the county commissioners
contest as he refused to sit as secre
tary after Grub and Kirkville had
been issued an alternative writ CIV
ing the two men power to investigate
the Auditors office.

VETERANS PAY IS NOT CUT

mo cut in government vocational
trainees' pay has been made or is
expected" said w. G. Besserer, chief
of rehabilitation for the Fargo office
Of the United States Veterans bureau
today in commenting upon the recent
cut in pay put into effect at the
Grand Forks office.
1t is true that Grand Forks trainees
have been given reduction from $1O0
to $50 a month effective this month
but nothing concerning such cut has
reach the Fargo office to date. Fargo
vocational men are still receiving $100
per month.
"Changes in compensation occur
from time to time based or ratings
taken in the various districts by rep
Iresentatives from the central office al
Washington. ''These ratings are bas-
ed on living conditions in that district
Living costs have decreased very
little in Fargo during the past year
clothing is little lower while IN. de-
crease in food atnd rent is II, singh
as to warrant no change in rating TO,
the present.
"In my opinion the cut in the pay a
, the Grand Forks office is the resul
of rating sent in by someone un
known to US who did not have rea
knowledge of living conditions there
which are as high as in any other cit,
! in this area.

OLD LEADERS IN THE SADDLE

Judging from results of the League
conference at Bismarck last week Mr..
Townley and the National Executive
Committee had more influence with
the delegates present than the state
committee, headed by w. J. Church.
! A plan was advanced to assess men,
bers $1,000 for two years to pay for
and to take care of past
due accommodation notes. But this
was turned down as A. c. ToWnley
opposed it, and favored $3.50 plan
instead, for first assessment, and an
other drive for other purposes later
on. This was agreed to and $4,000
members, or past members, will be So
licited by so paid organizers to get
the money for the fall campaign. Mr..
Townley will himself direct a drive to
get the money. Mr.. Frazier, candi-
date for senator, favored the Townley
plan and an independent ticket may
be put up later, to fill the places of
those candidates of the League, on the
state ticket, who lost at the primary
for nomination..
The old league leaders are appar-
emily in the saddle and are riding the
League horse with whip and spur.
The subscriptions wanted to contin-
ue League propaganda are for the Ma
tional Leader and North Dakota Lead
err. These magazines are intended to
keep alive the foolish expectations
that the members are going to get
some great benefit for their contribu-
tons and votes. Mr.. Townley knows
the value Of cartoons and we'll devils
ed appeals to farmers, prejudices and
good brown roasts of "big business.
During the session the League lead
ers are reported as bewailing the loss
of League votes at the primary, and
regretted the apathy and stay-at-home
evidences of members. Reorganization
new assessments, more promises, were
decided upon to overcome the loss of
enthusiasm of League members. But
the leaders were careful not to con-
fess that many of the League men,
bership did not vote the League ticket
for good reason, which was that the
League had not made good and that
the members had lost confidence in
the leadership.
In all the deliberations of the 7es-
sion no word was reported - SLOW
ing that the League could help the
farmers if restored to power. No
promise was made to reduce the far
mer's taxes, no pledge of repeating
the unnecessary and costly League
laws which have proved failure.
The them of the conclusion was "get
the money, somehow,-but get it,
