EMPLOYMENT MEN NOT FORCED 0 Duluth, Noy. 4~—The independent employment offices have not been forced out of business by the Federal employment service, according to J. C. Batten, state superintendent of labor. While fifteen of these offices have asked for the return of their license fee from the city the Federal employment service officers state that they were simply served with the regulations of - the department of 1abor’ under which they may operate. | These regulations stipulate, first, ) that the private employment agency £ shall live up to the program as laid down in the president’s proclamation of August1: That-all interdistrict and interstate shipments of men shall be controlled and authorized by the federal director of labor of the state of Minnesota; permit any licensed employment agent to hire and ship i farm labor not outside of the state —ie of Minnesota, according to the regu- ¥ lations of the department of agri- culture; permit any licensed employ- ment agent to hire and ship labor for 'a railroad company in accord- POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT -(Ordered and paid for by J.

CORONER GARFIELD AKERBERG CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELECTION Having had the homor and con- fidence from the voters of this county H of being elected as county coroner, i now almost four years ago, ald as a candidate for re-election, I feel that it is but just and proper to give you the following information and. brief history connected with my candidacy and myself. 1 was born September 5, 1882. Brought up a farm near St. Hilaire, Minn, At the age of 16 entered the 3 employment of the Crookston Lumber ¥ company, then of St. Hilaire, as a 1 sawmill hand, where I worked until 3 1902. At which time together with o other members of the family I moved | to Bemidji where 1 have resided con- tinuously for more than sixteen years. My occupation and business during such residence has been as a sawmill worker, and in the mercan- tile business for a number of years. 1. have a. common school and busi- ness. college education. For. those . that are not famillar with my present. or former nomina- tion and election I wish to state that in both instances 1 was In- dorsed .by-a referendum vote of the common.. people.” of this county as their candidate ‘for the nomination of . this office unsolicited by myself, and in accordance with their desire, filed ‘as a candidate for the nomina- tion under the nonpartisan law prior to_the primary election June 17, 1918. The laws of this state does not require any special training or qual- ification for the office of county coroner. But as it is erroneously argued by some and advertised in TEN connection with the candidacy for £ this office and possible believed or misunderstood by some, that a li- censed undertaker has some neces- sary qualification, or that it is in some way essential to the office as county coroner. While this is not true, but rather has its detrimental effect, which must be evident from the following facts: That their skill or. knowledge in their particular branch or business is of no assist- ance or merit to them, in determining whether a person has come to his death from violence or from casualty, in holding inquests, or in any other duties connected - with the coroner’s 5 office; and for the further reason, BB that the laws of this state epecifically f torbids the county coroner, as well as other officials, to contract or to be party to any contracts in which county funds are evolved, either in hig official capacity or otherwise; and the law evidently intended, and | i properly so 1 believe, that it should e not be possible far an official to use his office to advance his own selflsh economic interest at the expense and to the detrimental effect of the pub- lic welfare, and possible to the ex- clusion of all others by virtue of such -office. Consequently then, “a licensed un- dertaker cannot render his service, furnish supplies or bury the dead as county coroner and legally collect from the county for such—but must only direct others to do so. And if through any course of de- ception this law is evaded, as for example, substituting the name of an employe or employer for the purpose of collecting such bills. Thus the law is defeated and the purpose for which it was evidently intended, and with possibly all its former in. herent evils stiil entact. In this respect as well as all oth- ers:I am under obligations tc none. With no personal economic interest to serve. Thus assuring a striet compliance with the law and thus the best possible result obtainable. If elected again I will in the future #s in the past, work in har- mony with the sheriff and county attorney in all matters pertaining to the office. I hope my conduct of the office in the past will merit your consideration for economy, efficiency and honesty. On my past official record, together with my record as a citizen for more than sixteen yeags-of your county, I respectfully solicit your vote.
