1t was not the same Joe st. Hill

was missing from the stvle the New

deford boy was the one who did the
boring in carrying the fight to St.
Hillaire in the bulk of the rounds.
Only in two or three stanzas did the
Granite State favorite show any form
approaching that seen here in his
two previous scraps.
This was the first appearance of

Mr.. Dudley Resigned
fContinued from Pace One)

Philbrook,' said the commissioner,
81 was at first inclined to consider
Mr.. Dudley very favorably for the
position, but as time went on and /.
had the opportunity to study the
needs of the various bureaus and di-
visions, l became convinced that Il
was for the best interests of the
State and it's fruit growing industry
to retain Mr.. Dudley in his own po-
sition. It was the work for which
he was fitted, and which he could do
better than anyone else. l commu-
nicated my decision to Mr.. Dudley
and asked him to retain his old po-
sition with such added authority and
increased salary as l could secure
for him. The matter Of his resig-
nation Immediately came up and
urged hi mvery strongly on several
occasions not to consider it.
"A form of agreement was SUISSE
quently presented to me by Mr.. Dud-
ley with the request that / sign 1t as
the basis of the terms upon which
he would consent to remain with our
department. Many of the conditions
contained in this agreement were i'm
possible for me to grant. Some con-
flicted with the statutes of the State,
some were impossible with the finan-
ces at our disposal, and others did
not conform with the discipline or
businesslike conduct of a. great State
department.
Refusal on my part to sign these
impossible conditions" continued the
commissioner, was followed by Mr..
Dudley's resignation, greatly to my
regret. 1 had in the meantime prom
ised every possible concession, to in
crease the amount of money avail
able for horticultural work from
$4,000 to $4,000 per year, and to use
every effort to secure an increase in
salary. This promise I have carried
out to the letter, having appeared
before three meetings OF the Cover
nor and Council to urge an increase
from $500 to $1,000, as the salary OF
the State horticulturist.
with regard to the visit OF the
delegation from the fruit growers
convention which called upon him on
Friday in Mr.. Dudley's behalf" tho
commissioner said. II regret that I
was unable to do anything for them
Mr.. Dudley had presented his resig
nation, had received it in good
faith and accepted it. He has never
applied to me for a reappointment or

not before me at all at the presen;
time"

pointment of a chief of the plant in

missioner. Il do not know the poll

The commissioner also denied any
statements to the effect that there
was a lack of harmony among the
! members of his working force.
Asked as to the appointment of a
new horticulturist, Mr. Washburr
stated that several applications hal
| been received but no decision made

statements" he continued las a par:

ginia, the majority committeeman re-
duced the face value of the certifi-
cate, which would be the amount of
the adjusted service pay plus q
per cent, plus interest at four and
one-half per cent. compounded an
nually, instead of the service pay.
plus 40 per cent, plus the interest
originally proposed. 1t was thought
this would result in saving to the
government up to a possible maxi
mum of half a billion dollars.
Banks. in making loans on the GER
tificates, could not charge an inter-
est rate in excess of two per cent
above the re-discount rate charged
by the regional federal reserve bank
on 80 day paper in the district where
the loan was made and they could
not make the loans for a period in
excess of three years from the date
of the certificate, which would not be
re-discountable by federal reserve
banks.
If the loans had not been repair on
Sept. 80, 1925, the banks could make
demand on the government for the
money tue. The government, it was
stated, then would cash the certifl-
cate, pay the bank and turn the re-
| mainder over to the service man.
The cash surrender value of the
certificate on that date would be s.
per cent. of the adjusted service pay
plus interest at Al per cent. COM
pounded. annually from the date OF
| the certificate. This also would be
the loan value for federal advances as
of that date.
Committeeman said it was not pos
| sible how much money the govern
ment would have to advance on and
| after Sept. S0,<1925, as this would
| depend first upon the number of men
electing to take certificates and, sec
ond, upon the number borrowing
from the banks and defaulting in
payment or borrowing directly from
the government
ut is hoped and believed" said
Chairman Fordney in a formal state
ment, that when these insurance
certificates become due and payable
the money may be secured by the
sale of property and securities owned
by the federal government and with
out any special charge on the treas
ury. This plan seems to meet with
the general approval of the members
OF the House of Representatives as
well as the public generally"
Some members of the committee
estimated that if all of the men took
certificates AID held them for the full
20 years period the ultimate cost OF
the bonus would be approximately
s4,0OO,o00.000. They thought, how
ever. that this sum would be reduc
cd by perhaps $1,0OO,000.0 900 or more
| through borrowings or forfeitures.
A few details of the revised plan
| still remain to be worked out by the
majority committeeman, it was sale
today. but the expectation is that the
new bill will be ready for consider
alton by the entire ways and means
committee on next Tuesday. The
Democrats on the committee would
have them their first opportunity tc
study and pass on the new plan.
If favorable report on the meas
ure is ordered and that practically i
assured, week may elapse before
the bill is presented to the House. II
was explained it was desired to give
representation ample time to stud,
fully the details before House con.
sideration begins.
