ONLY CITIZENS
TO BE HIRED
State Board of Administra.
tiOn Adopts Resolution

The state board of administration,
in meeting today, adopted resolu
tion providing that all employees hir-
ed in the future for all state insti
tutions be American citizens, except
for teachers in foreign languages.
The boards action was prompted
in part, it is understood, by exper-
ience with Ed Steib. former employe
Of the insane hospital at jamestown,
who is an alien, and who made
charges of brutality by guards to-
ward patients. Steib, the board was
informed, sought employment at the
state penitentiary a. few days ago.
One member of the board indicated
belief that Steib was engrained in
the belief that cruel treatment was
accorded inmates of all state insti-
tutions, and the board holds his be-
lief is unfounded.

Secretary of Taxpayers AS
sGciatiOn Here to Ask
Economy Measures

Economy demands of the North
Dakota Taxpayers Association will
be pressed before legislative commit
tees by Dan r. Jones, Wahpeton
secretary who came here to remain
during most of the session of the
legislature, he said today. He was
to be Joined today by A. l.. Martin
of Sentinel Butte, president, for a
conference.
Two bills only are sponsored by
the association at this time, Mr..
Jones said, both providing fdr bud
get systems, one for municipalities
and one for school districts.
"Last fall after the tax measure
we submitted to the people was
voted on we were told that $4,000
voters who favored the measure
wanted to cut taxes unintelligently,
and that 100000 taxpayers who vot-
ed against the measure wanted to
cut taxes, but intelligently. The
taxpayers association is here to help
cut tax intelligently, if it can be
done,"' Mr.. Jones said
Mr.. Jones declared the taxpayers
organizations would continue, adding
that after last falls election several
members wrote, saying that if the
present legislature fails to cut taxes
an initiated measure providing for
a flat reduction of taxes can be pass
ed two years hence. The taxpayers
measure, he said, carried in 20
counties and would have carried the
state but for the vote in Minot,
Grand Forks, Fargo and Bismarck,
cities having state institutions.

SAY BRUTALITY
CHARGESF0UND
TO BE FALSE
State Board of AdminiStra-
tion Says That Steib Char
ges Did Not Hold Up

Members of the state board of ad-
ministration feel that the state hos
pital for the insane at jamestown is
we'll conducted. This was answer of
board members today to informal
charges placed before the Senate and
House state affairs committees to
the effect that patients were brutal
ly treated there.
X. B. Murphy, chairman, made the
following statement for the board:
"The Board has not as yet re-
ceived any official account of the
subject matter of Mr.. Burdick's s
statement made before the legisla-
tive committees touching upon the
state hospital situation. We under
stand that Mr.. Burdick was repre-
senting Mr.. Ed. Steib whose state
ments were the cause of an expen-
sive investigation made at James
town and Grand Forks nearly two
years ago. Steib had been employed
as an attendant at the institution
and had left after disagreement with
other guards. The investigation held
at jamestown in April, 1923, dis
closed the fact that the guard with
whom Steib had disagreed in the
matter of treating patient had
been discharged. The hearing failed
to substantiate the general charges
made by Steib regarding the treat
ment of patients and the quality
of the food and clothing supplied.
Steib's testimony before the board
also brought out the fact that he
was not an American citizen. Many
witnesses were examined and COM
plete stenographic report was made
of the hearing at jamestown as we'll
as the one held at Grand Forks. The
unanimous feeling of. the Board
members is that the institution at
jamestown is we'll conducted and
that every possible care is exercised
by those in charge to make living
conditions for the unfortunates as
pleasant as possible"

is PROPOSED

Long Beach,, Cal, Jan. 1.-THE
Long Beach Hairdressers and Cos
meticians association announced re-
Gently that it was drafting an ordi-
nance to exclude women from barber
shops. The association hopes to win
the city councils approval of the
proposed statute on the grounds that
it would free male customers of
barbershops from the annoyance and
embarrassment of waiting while
bobbed haired women monopolize the
BARRIERS time, and that besides, a
barber shop is no place for girl.

it would be largely rewritten, the

AUSTIN, Tex, Nov. 13.--
Stringent regulations on impor-
tation of citrus nursery into the
Rio Grande Valley were adopted
today at a conference of George
B.. Terrell, agricultural commits
sioner, Oscar Dancy, Cameron
county judge and A. w. Cam
eron, Hidalgo county judge. Mr..
Terrell refused to release text Of
the regulations until he has an
opportunity to consult with At
torney General Dan Moody.
"The Valley is now free from
citrus canker and we are deter
mined to keep it so; hence the
adoption of such stringent reg
ulations," Mr.. Terrell said.

Move Follows Ruling
OF Attorney General

The conference arose out Of the re-
cent petition Of the Valley that an emf
barge be placed on shipments Of citrus
fruit trees into this section from any
areas in Florida or other states where
there is citrus canker, scaly bark or
other dangerous disease of citrus. %
At that time Commissioner Terrell
asked for an opinion from the attor-
ney generals office on his power to
act in this case, and the attorney gen.
erals office held that the commission
er cannot declare an embargo, and that
further the county itself cannot pre-
vent shipments through absolute quar-
antine.
This leaves strict inspection as the
only protective measure of the Valley
In the opinion of Harbert Davenport.
Cameron county's attorney in the mat
ter of protection, this county and Hi
dalgo county can protect themselves
by inducing the commissioner of agri-
culture to place inspectors here, max
ing careful inspection compulsory, ana
paying the inspectors from fees coll
lected from the work.

Lanham Says
(Bv The Associated Press }

DALLAS, Texas, Nov. 13.-Loss of
federal aid for highways in Texas was
predicted as a possibility today by
Frankly. Lanham, chairman Of the state
highway commission as result Of ac-
tion Of Attorney General Dan Moody in
highway matters.
Work is at a standstilI in 81 coun-
ties, Mr.. Lanham said. These are the
counties in which Mr. Moody recently
recommended cancellation of mainten-
ance contracts. Without maintenance
work the roads will deteriorate very
rapidly. Federal inspectors are. on job
all time and it is up to state of Texas
which has more miles of federal aid
roads than any other, to see that con-
diton Of the roads does not fall to a
point where aid is withdrawn.
The highway commission has asked
Mr. Moody to file suits for cancellation
of these contracts in order that the con-
troversy may be settled as soon as pos
sible and the work proceed.
AS advised by Governor Ferguson
the highway commission will oppose the
suit filed by the attorney general for
cancellation of contracts held by the
