WENZEL APPEAL IS
GIVEN HIGH court
Authority Of Governor to Re-.
move Compensation Conn.,
missioner Challenged

Authority OF the governor to remove
q workmen's compensation bureau
commissioner Is challenged In an ac-
ton filed In the state supreme court
by r. E. Wenzel. former member of
the bureau. Oral arguments will be
heard at the March term Of court.
Wenzel was removed by Gov Will
liam LANCER following hearing on
charges against the commissioner.
The supreme court action is an ap-
peal from the decision Of District
Judge G. w. BUTTE OF Devils Lake,
who held that the governor had power
to remove the commissioner after a
hearing. Judge Buttz' decision came
after Wenzel was suspended from Of
flee. The court held the governor
was without power to suspend pend
ing outcome Of the removal proceed
ings. but that the chief executive
could order a hearing and remove II
there was cause for removal.
A second action. consisting Of an
appeal from the governors removal
order based on the testimony taken
at hearing before a special CON-
missioner. has been filed in the dis
trict court.
The supreme court action Is brought
against the Governor and T. j. Gill;
ford. Langdon. who presided at the
hearing as special commissioner.

Receivership Action
Dismissed by Court

Fargo. N. D., Feb 20.-(P-The
state supreme court has ordered dis
missal OF receivership order entered
several months ago by Judge H. L.
Berry in the Mercer county district
court against the Agricultural Credit
Corporation and the Guaranty Credit
Corporation of Fargo Both institu-
tions are headed by H. c. Aamoth of
Fargo
Judge Berrys original order was
for the appointment Of c. H. Sanders
sS receiver in an action initiated by
L. r. Baird as receiver of closed
bank at Stanton, N. D.
An outgrowth Of the case was a
contempt action against Aamoth in
which Berry sentenced the latter to
four months In Jail for failure to
produce records. Aamoth contended
he had no way Of producing the rec
ords, saying they had been taken by
Sanders
With the receivership order held
void, it was regarded as likely that
the contempt action, still pending on
appeal to the supreme court would
fail Aamoth Is preparing demand
for the return Of all records OF the
two companies.
In its unanimous opinion, the SUI
preme court holds creditor who has
no financial interest in corporation
and seeks merely a money Judgment,
Is without power to obtain appoint
ment of receiver.

BAD LANDS PROJECT
IS GIVEN APPROVAL
National Parks Inspector Fav'
ors Plan to Restore
Roosevelt Ranch

Dickinson, N. D.. Feb. l9.-(R)-An
application for CCC camp at the site
OF the Maltese Cross ranch to carry
out plans to restore 1t as it was when
the cowboy president" Theodore
Roosevelt, owned 1t. was approved and
referred to Washington Monday by
Harvey Cornell of Oklahoma City,
national parks inspector.
Cornell spent Sunday at the ranch
in the Badlands near Medora, where
he studied the site which the newly
organized Roosevelt Maltese Cross
association seeks to establish as ma
tional shrine in honor of the former
president. He spoke enthusiastically
Of the possibilities OF establishing a
CCC camp on the ranch this spring
or summer.
If given final approval in Washing
ton, the work would consist OF re-
building the ranch to appear as IT
did when Roosevelt made his home
there, construction OF tourist shell
tiers, wells, conveniences for tourists.
and improvement Of the road south
from No. 10 at Medora eight miles to
the ranch.
Cornell conferred with directors OF
the Civic association here and with
r. A. Tollefson. director Of the Great
er North Dakota association. He also
inspected site for park in the
Killdeer mountains where establish
ment Of CCC camp for the summer
IS being considered.
One problem may be an obstacle IN
obtaining parks for North Dakota,
Cornell said. as he pointed to the po-
icy Of the national parks department
to work with state park boards IN ap-
propriating funds and establishing
camps for making permanent park
improvements on state-oWned sites
North Dakota has no park board.
The 1929 legislature. however. en-
acted law authorizing the board OF
university and school lands to secure
1,~eded lands If the government In
dcrses the national park project for
the Badlands.
Cornell will go to Bismarck Tues
day for a conference with Gov. Will
liam LANCER and other officials.
The department of national parks,
Cornell emphasized. does not plan
any extensive development OF the
Badlands as national park at the
present time. The work would be
confined probably to two or three
small areas within the Badlands with
expansion possible at some future
date.

SOLUTION TO PREVIOUS
CONTRACT PROBLEM

BY VIM. z. MCKINNEY
Secretary, American Bridge League
We often find ourselves In ! con-
tract that looks impossible to make.
In other words, It looks as though we
must get too many good breaks to win
the hand. However, q smart player
never gives up, even on this type Of
hand.
L. J. Haddad. one Of the outsta11d-
ing players Of Chicago, figured that,
to make today's hand, he had to find
the king Of hearts and the king Of
clubs in the East. Therefore, he play
ed the hand on this assumption and
made his contract. He was careful,
however. not to take out his diamond
entry before setting the clubs.
Vests opening lead was the five OF

There may be two men In North
Dakota who work longer hours than
Judge A. M. Christianson or John e.
Williams. secretary OF the State
Emergency Relief committee, and
there may be men who work harder
but there are not many.
The judges hours are from about
$50 in the morning until midnight,
during which time he works his usual
shift as justice of the supreme court
Of North Dakota, for which he re-
ceives compensation. The rest OF his
time is put In as chairman OF the
State Emergency Relief Administra-
ton and CWA work. for which he
receives no compensation whatever.
Williams hours are about the same.
He has seen his work expand from
supervision of department with
about a dozen workers when he was
appointed last August to one which
will occupy two and a half floors in
the new capitol building and which
gives employment to over $4,000 per-
sons. including an engineering force,
an accounting department, a social
service division and feed relief d.
vision. The department exercises
supervision over millions OF dollars
worth Of CWA projects. It prepares
and approves plans for roads, repairs
to public buildings, extensions to
sewer and water works and other pub
lie works employing at present over
IS 900 people.
The state unemployment director
reports $1,000 people placed on jobs
in the state since last August. with
over $4,000 OF these credited to CWA
projects. Unemployment placements
are sometimes Of temporary nature,
however, and when their temporary
jobs are completed persons are re-
listed as unemployed. which accounts
to a great extent for the difference In
figures In the two departments.
Grew Like = Mushroom
The CWA grew like a mushroom In
about a year from the Federal Relief
Committee that took over the admin
istration Of relief to indigents In
North Dakota In the late winter Of
1893.
This work was handled by a COM
mittee appointed by the governor un-
der federal supervision, set up because
there was no state welfare board or
similar organization qualified to
handle relief work.
Funds were obtained from the fed
eral government, at first under the
terms Of law passed in 1882 In the
Hoover administration. which required
that all loans for relief purposes be
deducted from the states share Of
federal aid road appropriations.

All Workers Registered
In conjunction with the state re.
employment director and county re-
employment agents the CWA register
ed the workers of the state who were
without jobs, approved local city
county and township projects that
would furnish emergency work, and
selected qualified workers to complete
them. Those men were selected In the
following manner according to rules
laid down by Public Works Admins
traitor Harold L. Ickes:
!. Non-union workmen, by far the
largest class called back to work, were
chosen from lists of qualified workers
submitted by local employment agen-
cies approved by the U. 8. Employ
ment Services Of the Department Of
Labor.
2. Union workmen. both skilled
and unskilled. were and are obtained
In the customary way through local
unions in the place where the project
is being constructed. II local unions
cannot furnish qualified men within
48 hours after being requested to do
so-Sundays and holidays excluded
necessary men are obtained through
the U. s. Employment Service in the
same manner as non-union workmen
In hiring men either from the lists
submitted by the employment service
or through local unions, preference
must be given. In the following order:
I. To ex-service men with depend
ents when they are qualified for the
work to be done.
2. To bona-fid residents Of the
municipality or other type Of political
subdivision where the work Is to be
done.
g. To bona fide residents Of the
state In which the municipality or
other political subdivision Is located.
No Imported WoFkmen
The two latter requirements are de-
signed to prevent workmen from be-
ing imported and thus preventing
citizens and taxpayers Of the COM
munity from obtaining the maximum
amount Of employment benefit from
the expenditure Of money which they
must later repay.
