House Resolution
To Impeach Noodle

The text of the Noodle impeach-
ment resolution:
BE 1t resolved by the house of rep
resentatives of the state of North
Dakota:
Whereas, 1t appears from the testi-
mor1y taken in a proceeding now pend
ing, which testimony has been duly
considered. and from other facts, that
there is grave and probable cause to
believe that the Honorable Thomas
H. Noodle. governor Of the state of
North Dakota, is guilty Of impeach-
able offenses,
And whereas the belief in the ex-
iStence Of such probable cause of inn
parchment is evidenced by written
records, common reports and public
charges, 50 extensive as to initiate
against and destroy the confidence OF
the people in the affairs Of the state.
"And whereas, that such confidence
cannot be restored except by an open
trial Of such charges,
Nov therefore be it resolved that

Articles 70 Senate Monday


Submission Of the articles to the
senate will be delayed until Monday.
Under Sathre's informal opinion, the
impeachment action will then be COM
plete, and Noodle will be suspended.
The senate adjourned before the
Impeachment action was voted in the
house, which prevented immediate
notification, even had the appoin-
ments to the board Of managers been
ready.
Divided legal opinion over the ef-
feet Of the impeachment resolution
passed by the house was manifest.
L. L. Twichell, Fargo attorney and
minority spokesman, held 1t would be
necessary for the house to vote again
on the articles Of impeachment drawn
by the board Of managers. Against
his opinion were that Of Satire and
others.
Noodle prepared to fight the house
move to unseat him saying he would
continue to discharge my duty as
honestly and fearlessly as am able.
I am perfectly willing to entralst any
interest Of mine in these matters to
the courts Of North Dakota. This IS
the orderly procedure under consti-
tutional government"
He disclaimed ANY interest Of my
own.'

Issues Vigorous Denial

He issued q vigorous denial Of
charges leveled against him, and for
the first time explained in detail the

nection with his taking the oath as
governor.

Martial Law RumOr
Spiked by Governor

Governor Thomas H. Noodle Satur-
day spiked rumors that he had de-
clared martial law occasioned by his
placing two unarmed, plainly-clothed
militiamen on duty as guards IN his
office.
Later in the day. Governor Noodle
dismissed the guardsmen from furth-
er duty.
The men were placed on duty on
advice of Attorney General p. O..
Sathre," Gov. Noodle said. Ito main
tain order in the office during this
time of heat and passion"
Noodle said he conferred with
Satire Immediately following notifi-
cation Of the impeachment action
in the house, and that Satire advised
him 1t might be well" to have the
men stationed in the office.
The two men, Noodle said, ARE un-
armed, and not uniformed-this IS
not martial law. There has been no
declaration OF martial law and there
will be none.
Il cannot emphasize too strongly
that will proceed only by orderly
and legal methods"

Thinking Of State Welfare

our state, the expense which this de-
lay Is causing In the discharge Of the
states business and the anxiety which,
1t must be creating In the minds OF
our people"
Noodle referred to the charge Of
political foes that he Is not a citizen
OF the United States, which. with the
charge he does not meet state con-
stitutional residence requirements
furnishes the basis Of the impeach-
ment action. Proceedings to disqual-
ify Noodle on the residence allega-
ton are now pending in the courts.
He described his obtaining Of citi-
5enship, explaining he was born In
Ontario May 26, 1873.
Il came to this country with my
mother as an infant in arms. My
father died when I was an infant In
arms. My mother remarked and went
to South Dakota where she became a
citizen In 1883 when her husband
completed his citizenship. My citi.
zenship follows hers"
Noodle said he desired to discuss
the question, more frankly but am
mindful Of the fact that whatever ]
say will be seized by my political op.
porlents In m effort to further harass
and embarraSS me. I do not want

to fix up the machinery for us. He does 60, and does it with marvellous skill. He arranges things SO that we can make all that we could conceivabiy want of every imaginable commodity, from clothes pins to turret lathes, from auto trucks Co fountain pens, and then he leaves us to our own devices.
 After while he turns around to have a look at us and finds that we are using all this machinery to only about half of its capacity = and are, nevertheless, yell ing our heads off about the evils of over prOductionl Is it any wonder that man like Kettering says that the whole depression is simply nonsense
 What it all comes down to is that often-repeated but Supremely important fact: namely, that we have it within our power to make enough of everything to go around. As far as the mere ability to produce wealth is concerned, we have no shadow of an excuse for permitting the faintest trace of poverty to exist This is both the most diScouraging and the most encouraging thing about the entire de- preSsion problem.
 It is discouragfng because it implies that we must, somehow, be not quite bright, to endure want in the midst of potential plenty. It is encouraging be- cause it shows conclusively that depres- sion is an anachroniSm in this modern age - thing as out of date as the one hoSS shay Calling the depression non- sense may not automatically solve it. But it does indicate that permanent solution to the whole problem of depres- sion cycles may not be as far away as we sometimes think.

Trucks and Trains

Public prejudice against motor trucks, of the freight-hauling sort, may have been overdone. This possibility is sug- gested by remarks of J. L. Keeshin of Chi cago, who started in the trucking buSi- ness with horse and wagon and is now president of company operating 1,2OO trucks in transcontinental service. He might be the president of big railroad, from the impression he made on traffic club recently.
 He told of a fleet of 13 trucks = or would it be a train? - that had left Chicago for Los Angeles on Friday morn- ing and by Monday evening had passed Gallup, N. M., and would be at their des- tination by Tuesday evening. No railroad freight train ever gave such service.
 He says that motor trucks pay, on the average, 47 cents in taxes per ton of freight carried, while railroads pay r cents. Also that 5000 tons of freight carried from Chicago to the Mississippi River on railroad train would pay $57.50 in taxes and the same tonnage carried in 300 trucks would pay $525 tax on gasoline alone. The trucks would produce more wear and tear on the roads, of course. But such taxes will pay for lot of road building.

An Engineer RidicuIes

The depression has been called good many things, including some that can hardly be reproduced in family journal, but it has remained for c. s. Kettering, famous research engineer of General Motors, to think of the best one of all. Mir. Kettering simply calls the depression nonsense.
 ( Tn conversation with United Press Correspondent Lyle c. Wilson, MT. Ket- tering remarked that it was just book keepers depression. We are the greatest builders in the world, he pointed out, but we don't do enough building to keep our chins above water; if we would just turn ourselves loose and set out to rebuild the whole country, we'd forget there ever was such thing as depression. It is worth noticing that engineers as class are very much like Mir. Kettering in that they have small patience with nation which lets itself fall over its own feet during the march to bigger and better things.
 The engineer, indeed, can hardly be blamed for this attitude. It is his ieb

Modern safety engineering is actually beginning to save lives on the highways, according to the Readers Digest for Jan- uary. "A wide open intersection in Mil ,waukee caused so many smash-ups it was popularly known as "the battle-ground. It was 'channelized' for traffic and acci- dents were abolished. Chicagos revamp- ing of the signal system on Michigan Boulevard caused crop of 46 per cent in pedestrian accidents, 27 per cent in all accidents and 57 per cent in property markings and safety patrols cut deaths by 69 and injuries by 3,731 the first year it was in force. Myriad before-and-afte studies of street and highway intersec- tions tell the same story: traffic engineer ing saves lives .. :" Go ye and do like wise, Connecticut.
