James Mulloy, secretary Of the state
industrial commission and prepared

ton at Harvey and other points in
Wells county.
Reports that they did not take
very well and the fact that several
leading Nonpartisans in Wells couu-
ty had signified their intention OF
opposing the recall caused with
drawal Of the petitions. 1t was learned
from Z reliable source.
It was said Friday that . man was
sent from Bismarck to collect the

Say France Won't
Leave Gold Basis

Paris, April 2l.-(P)-Bank of
France officials said Friday that
the French franc is not In any
danger and that there is no neces.
sity for any protective monetary
measures.
This followed an emphatic de.
NAL from the French finance min.
istry that this country plans to
abandon the gold standard q q
result OF similar action taken By
the United States.
This assertion was made at the
ministry despite a recent declar-
alton by the present government

would drop the gold standard for
its currency II such action was
taken by the United States.

Contrary to Law

Three Burleigh county commission

Three Burleigh county commission
ers were temporarily suspended from
office by Governor william LANCER
late Thursday and a hearing ordered
on charges preferred against them
by five Burleigh county citizens.
The commissioners affected were
Axel Solder, chairman Of the board;
Charles Swanson and H. F. Tiedman.
They were accused in a petition
filed by Attorney F. E. McCurdy and
signed by H. p. Asselstine. G. A. An
derson, p. p. Bliss, L. E. Heaton and
G. w. Ritterbush. All but Ritterbush
live in the eastern and southern parts
Of the county. Ritterbush lives In
Bismarck.
The charge against the commits
sioners Is that they voted to extend
Q contract with the Bismarck Trib-
une company "wrongfully. corruptly,
criminally and wilfully" and contrary
to law.
The contract was one for county
printing and supplies for the next
two years and was renewed at q re-
duction of 10 per cent.
Despite the charge in the petition,
however, it developed Friday that
County Attorney George S. Register.
legal adviser of the board, does not
believe the action was contrary to
law and had SO advised Solder and
Tiedman who sought his advice on
the subject.
Hearing in the case is scheduled on
May 4 at 10 q. M, at the state capitol
before o. G. Abern, Wishck attorney,
appointed by the governor as .
special commissioner to take testi-
mony in the case.
The defendants In the action an
nounced Friday that they had re-
tanned John F. Sullivan of Mandan to
represent them and it was indicated
that Sullivan later would issue a
statement covering their side Of the
case.
Is Common Practice
Although the defendants made no
comment pending issuance of the
statement by Sullivan, it was learned
authoritatively that contracts Of
similar nature have been renewed in
many counties In the past without
comment and that the practice is
common with county boards through
out the state.
The usual practice is to advertise
for bids for this work every election
year. At the expiration Of the one.
year contract, boards have frequently
negotiated renewals GA the basis Of
conditions then existing, If any
changes have occurred. in order to
save the expense Of advertising and
in the belief that they were acting
In q business-like way and in the
interests Of the taxpayers.
It Is expected that the Burleigh
county case will call into question
each of the contracts for printing,
office supplies or other materials ex-
tended this year In other counties.

With the declared intention Of pro-
tecting themselves against unfair
practices by the ''centralizers" the
local dairymen voluntarily adopted q
plan whereby they will assist In fin
ancing work formerly done by the
dairy department with state funds.
The plan Is predicated on the
theory that they can compel the
state to pay the salaries Of two
deputy dairy commissioners despite
Langer's veto Of appropriations for
their salaries. The reason lies In the
fact that these salaries are fixed by law
and the supreme court has held, on
several occasions, that the state must
make provision for statutory salaries
despite failure of the legislature to
appropriate for them or guberna-
torial veto.
Plan Lawsuit Soon
This question will be raised in a
lawsuit to be instituted soon. HUSKY
told the creamerymen. He said It will
