BANK EXAMINER
| WILL SUCCEED
JOHN GAMMONS
Governor Makes Appointment
While Shafer and Kitchen
Are Out Of City
NO SALARY is PROVIDED
Showdown Expected at First
Meeting After Other
Members Return
NO SALARY is PROVIDED


Taking the offensive in the fight
which the sAate industrial commits
sion is expestcd 70 stage with regard
to the lob of secretary of that or
ganization, Governor A. G. Sorlie yes
terday appointed Gilbert Semingson,
state bank examiner, to act as secre-
tary until other arrangements can
be made"
Attorney General George Shafer
and Joseph A. Kitchen, commission
or Of agriculture and labor, Indc-
pendent members of the commission,
are out of the city and showdown
with regard to the contest between
them and the governor is expected
at the first meeting Of the industrial
commission after their return.
Salary Appropriation Vetoed
The difficulty over the secretary
ship first became prominent during
the last Legislative session when Gov
crsfor sSorlie, a Nonpartisan, vetoed
the salary of the industrial commits
Sion secretary and some other items
in an appropriation bill. An attempt
to pass a bill consolidating the, office
with that OF the secretary of the Sc
6urities commission previously had
been defeated.
At the time the appropriation was
vetoed S0rlie c0ntended that the sec
rctary Of the industrial commission
had little to do and that his work
could easily be handled by some
other state official without an in
crease in salary.
The old appropriation expired June
30 but Gammons has been on the jot
continuously since July despite the
Tact that there was apparently nc
funds available to pay his salary. At
torney General Shafer, leader OF the
Independents faction which has two
votes on the board, u understood te
have been resolved to keep Johr
GRmmons as secretary. He is re.
ported AZ having said that there are
several ways in which money to pa,
him could be provided. What way.
he had in mind, however, have no,
been revealed.
Some Suggestions
One suggestion was that the in
dustrial commission might list Gam
mons as Bank Of North Dakota EN-
ploye and permit him to continue hi.
present work. The industrial com
mission controls the bank.
Another was that an unexpendet

industrial commission and that thi,
could be used to pay the secretary
salary. A third was that a subscrip
tion could be taken up among indie
pendents to enable Gammons to re
main on the job.
Gammons today had little to sa,
but it was intimated that he wouls
pntinue to visit his office in tn,
capitol and perform the work whicl
he has always lone. Governor Sorli
indicated that he would make no eff
fort to oust him in case he elects t,
lSemain on the job but pointed ou
that if he stays it will be witkou
pay. The state emergency commits
sion doubtless will appropriate fund.-
to pay Gammons for the seven day,

Quits Post
u. S. Ambassador to Mexico
Hands Resignation to
Coolidge Today

Rapid City, s. D., July 8.--(HD---
James r.. Sheffield today gave his
resignation as ambassador to Mexico
to- President Coolidge =
The resignation is to take effect
at the will Of the president, who has
not indicated his intentions. Mr.
Sheffield. however, has indefinite
plans for returning to his. post and
upon leaving here expects to go to
Europe for six weeks.
The retrement Of the Mexican
ambassador comes at an admittedly
critical time in the relations between
this country and Mexico. The south
crn republic has recently instituted
in "extreme" form the application OF
its oil law it is understood here and
there is some concern over this de-
vclopment in the administration.
Declines Comment
Giving no reason for his retire.
ment, Mr.. She field likewise declined
to comment on Mexican relations. II
was said at the executive office here
however, that his resignation had
been agreed upon year ago when
the ambassador returned to his post
against his wishes but upon the re-
quest of the president.
The ambassador did state that he
had not been recalled from Mexico
because Of the recent Developments
there in relation to the oil law.
which it was clear he was concerned
over. He said he came back to at
tend the Yale commencement las
month. Y
plans for the future and because OF
the lack of any announce ement b,
the president, there were indications
that the Mexican post might 60 un.
filled for a while. 1t seemed ap
parent that Mr.. Coolidge would ac.
ccpt the resignation Of Mr.. Shef
field in view Of the agreement made
with him year ago.
Needs q Rest
Mr.. Sheffield said he needed 1
rest. Everett Sanders, secretary te
the president, explained that las,
year. when the ambassador saw the
president, he requested to retire be-
cause Of his health and the presi.
dent asked him to remain until this
spring.
Taking his post in the fall Of 1924
Mr.. Sheffield has had a troublesome
job while this government disputed
the oil and land laws Of Mexico
While these negotiations have beer
proceeding op quit basis pending
definite application Of the laws which
would permit Mexico to take ovel
and control oil lands this situation
has about come to head as q result
Of the recent extreme" application
Of the law. - NJ
No details could be given herr
Of this case nor would Mr.. Sheffield
discuss it but there was .abyiops con
the summer Whits House.

PAY BOOST FOR !
STATE
JUDGES UPHELD
Supreme Court Reverses Low
er Court, Which Denied
Writ Of Mandamus

/, st Paul, July S-tR-Governor
Christianson's. veto Of the bill in
creasng the salaries Of district
judges today was overridden by ac-
ton of the state Supreme court,
which reverses the opinion Of the late
Judge G.. w. Stanton Of Bemidji.
The bill increasing the district
court judges salaries was passed con-
concurrently by the senate and house
April 13, last, and sent to the gov
ernor the following day. The chief
executive held the veto message un-
| til April Is, thinking that the inter
vention Of Good Friday, April 15,
gave him sufficient time.
| A group of attorneys, led by Sena-
tor Frank +. Putnam of Blue Earth
county, brought action against Mike
Holm, secretary of state, Clifford l..
Hilton, assistant attorney general,
and members of the department. Of
administration and finance seeking
! to have the law as passed included
| in the 1927 session laws.
The action for writ Of mandamus
was brought before Judge Stanton,
who came from district court not
affected by the law. The late judge
denied the writ and an appeal was
taken to the supreme court which
today reversed the lower court.
Holidays Not Included
| The supreme court held that in
computing the three-day period in
which the bill is to be returned, Good
Friday is not included. This partic-
ular section of the constitution, the
court holds. is applicable to Sundays
only and not to holidays.
! The higher court held that "the
requirement that the bill shall be re-
turned to the house in which it shall
have originated does not mean that
! it must be returned while such house
!, is in session, but the return may be
made to the presiding officer, secre-
tary or to any members of such
| house..
Following passage of the bill on
April 13, both houses adjourned on
| Wednesday, April IA, until the fol-
lowing Monday. so as to permit MEM
bers of the lawmaking body to spend
their Easter holidays at home.
! Governor Christianson held that he
could hold the bill until April 1s
because Of the fact that the legisla-
ture was recessed and that Good Fri
day was designated as legal holi-
day.

lnent of agriculture has the matt er
CT determining the weevil popula
ton pretty wei systcmatized.
The most important thing is not
to determine the exact population
in hundreds of thousands or mil
lions, but rather the percentage of
weevils which live through the win
Ter and emerge from their hiberna-
ton in the spring to do business on
the next cotton crop.
Count All WeeviIs
Estimate is first made by col
ltcting quantities of Spanish moss
and other material in which the
wnevils hibernate. The Wenwil
counters go carefully through the
huge pile and count all the deaG
and live wervils The less livs
weevls and the more dead ones the
better. The field station of the
bureau of entomology at TaIlulah,
la. has charge of this work.
The bureau also co-operates with
southern states in making special
cage tests of weevil emergency. It
the fall certain number of weevils
are courtesously led to one side and
rut into each Of a number of cages.
Thc weevils are then given what
they doubtless consider peri = t
palaces in the shape of sheltered
nat erial such as cotton stalks, grass,
refuse, chips and the like. After
that the weevils are left tc them
selves until spring. Then they are
carefully watched for emersin
weevils aud from time to time esti
mates are made, of the total that
have emerged. After the experiment
is all over, it is rather to be feared,
the test weev:ls are all summarily
executed.
Let no one think that plowing
through a few tons of Spanish moss
for live weevils is pleasant task.
The job of Il weevil-counter work
ing on q Ton Of moss from southern
Louisiana is not so thanilless as it
might be, for this year he found an
average of 20 live weevils in ton
.of the stuff Last year was a ban
ner year for the weevil counter, for
the records show 243 weevils PEI
ston Of southern Louisiana moss
But wha1 about the weevil-
counter who must go through ton
of northern Louisiana moss and find
Int four weeVils: (The state aver.
age of Louisiana is 15.7 weevils per
tom.
Last year the counters task was
altogether thankless for northern
Louisiana moss, for there were 10
live weevils ut all, and dead weevils
sirply didn't count. This year
South Carolina moss also failed to
produce any live weevils.

More Truth Than Poetry
THE PERFECT LIFE
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE

1 always thought the hobo,
Who roves from Spring till Fall
About the land nor turns his hand
To any work at all,
Possessed some special talent
Or genius, one might say
Which taught him how, with beadless
brow
To loaf his time away.
I've often thought with envy
About the life he led
No fuss or fret no toll nor sweat
To gain his daily bread.
No stirring of ambition
Beneath his ragged breast,
Yet raiment, fare and time to spare
Are all at his behest.
Now 1 have heard these gentry
Who look on me with scorn
And rightly so as we'll know
Are made, instead of born
They are not just plain lucky
Like Shelley or Babe Ruth,
Their way of strife evading life
Was taught them in their youth.
| know not how they learn it,
Or who confers degrees,
And sends them forth south, west
and north
To lead their life of ease;
But We're l some years younger
I'd save up all my pelf
A year or so and then I'd go
And learn the trade myself!

Ballots for the Douglas Chamber of
Commerce and Mines election of di-
rectors to be held Monday, May 3, have
been mailed to all members in good
standing, together with a self adj
dressed stamped envelope, George
Doubleday, chamber secretary, yester-
day announced.
All members are urged by Doubleday
and other chamber officers to vote
upon three directors and return the
ballot to the chamber The polls for
the directorial election will close
promptly at noon next Monday,
A letter requesting literature de-
scriptive of Douglas, the Wonderland
of Rocks, Turkey creek, Cave creek
and other spots of scenic interest and
beauty in this district has just been
received at the Douglas Chamber of
Commerce and Mines from the Rock
Island railroad, George Doubleday, sec
retary, last night announced. Double
day said this in only one of $50 letters
he recently has received making sim
liar requests.
All the $50 letters are from tourist
bureaus, travel agencies or transporta-
tion companies daily in contact with
hundreds of persons getting ready to
make extended trips through the west
and southwest.
A recent letter from the tourist and
publicity bureau of the Denver Cham
ber of Commerce announced that the 10
offices and bureaus of that chamber
are now open and requested that
Douglas literature be sent all of them.
The Southern Pacific railroad company
also has requested literature from the
local chamber. Many of the large
eastern railroads which have general
offices in Chicago have written here
for literature in the past few weeks,
Doubleday said.
