PAGE TWO Possibility of Deadlock on State | SIDE GLANCES - - - - By George Clark | THE BISMARCK -TRIBUN “COMMISSION RULE PORMILL-ELEVATOR PACES SENATE SNAG Nonpartisans Credited With De- | sire to Retain Big Utility in Governor’s Hands “PLATFORM TIES SHAFER ‘Maddock Said to Feel Body of Three Would Smother Forks Enterprise (By Associated Press) Trouble may be experienced in “changing the law which makes the governor the manager of the state mill and elevator at Grand Forks, ac- cording to rumors in political circles here. The difficulty may lie in the fact that the Nonpartisans will control the state senate, at least nominally, and efforts to prevent a change in the law will be concentrated there. One of the principal opponents of the plan to relieve the governor of the mill managership is Governor Walter Maddock. He has expressed the opinion that to place control of the mill in the hands of a commis- sion would be to “smother” the en- terprise. He said his friends have been frank in opposing the plan whenever it is mentioned. They are hopeful that the legislature, or at least the senate, will take the same stand. Maddock is frank to say, how- ever, that the Nonpartisans expect such @ bill to be passed by the house, in which the Independents have a comfortable majority. The proposal to place operation of the mill in the hands of @ commis- sion of three members, two of whom shall be Nonpartisans, was contained in the Independent platform, and Governor-elect George F. Shafer is known to be anxious to have the plat- form carried out. His idea is that the governor has cnough to do with- out having to manage a mill in addi- tion and that both jobs suffer some- what under the present arrangement. He is expected to make reference to the proposition in his inaugural ad- dress and to support any legislation which will make the platform effec- tive. Such legislation would permit the governor to appoint the commis- sion, subject to approval by the sen- ate, or make any other provision for their appointment not inconsistent with the constitution. Friends of the late Governor A. G. Sorlie are said to be inclined to resist application of the Independent plat- form for personal reasons. These are said to feel that Sorlie’s political star ‘was sent into eclipse by the results of his operation of the mill and that the eclipse was materially aided by the Independents. Their idea is that it would be just retribution for an In- dependent governor to be required to meet the same challenge to his ex- ecutive ability. The story is that the management of the mill is a part of the duties of the governorship and that Shafer knew it when he sought the office. Management of the mill was made & part of the governor's duties in 1924, at the request of Governor Sorlie who was then beginning his first term. LEGISLATORS DUE JAN, 8 SAYS BYRNE State Secretary Corrects Im- pression of Some They Must Appear Jan. 1 Members of the legislature who who have inquired on the point. Some legislators had the idea that they would be required to report here the opening of their terms. If they arrive a week before the opens. constitution provides that the bers of the legislature shall take on the first Tuesday of Jan- s first Mcaday. The difference is seven esye. Since the first Tuesday of January to be New Year's day, the new will take office at that time. The first Tuesday after the first Monday, however, does not ar- rive until January 8, when the legis- lature will open and the members will - begin their work. oe i Weather Repo! } Dakota: Cloudy to tonight and Saturday. c ‘ by warm weather. centered oyer the Great Lakes region and extends southwestward to the | | ©1929 ey wea seavice, Inc./’ REQ_U.S.PAT.OFF, ” “Ask your maw if you can come o1 ver and watch our kitchen leak.” Retiring Chief Favors More Time to Aid Farmers in Devel- oping Industry So much time is used in police su- ; pervision of the dairy industry in for the state dairy department to aid | in the -levelopment and improveme:it | of the industry, said John Husby, | dairy commissioner, in the biennial | |teport cf the department. Husby will leave the office January 1. Aid in organizing cow-testing asso: ciations, cooperative shipping associa- tions and cooperative creameriecs is sought and would be given, were it not for the fact that police duties appropriate all funds now available to | the department, Husby said. Either the department must be relieved of this police work or additional funds must be provided for the hire of more help, if the full benefits are to be de- rived, he said. In 1916 the department had 90/ cream station to license, inspect and! control, according to the report. Five years later the cream stations num- bered 1020 and in 1926 they totaled | 1845. That number, however, is now | slightly reduced. | This increase in cream stations in- volves a great deal of the depart- | ment's time and money, Husby said, ; and advises the curtailment of cream stations, favoring in their place the establishment of cooperative cream- erles.

KIWANIANS PRESENT SHAFER WATCH AS THEY DINE LADIES Governor-Elect Says Valedic- tory as Retiring President of Local Club a OF Music, TOO ! —ane Fathor Slag Explains History | of Hymns Sung; Indian School Girls Sing Governor-elect Shafer was the cen- tral figure of the ladies-night dinner of the Kiwanis, Thursday night, at the Grand Pacific. As incoming ex- ecutive of the state and outgoing president of the club he caught good- natured raillery and cordial well- wishes coming and going, and he con- cluded the evening witn a new gift watch by which to time his official schedule after January 7. The watch came mysteriously from the hands of former Governor John Burke, who disclaimed knowing who the donors were, but of course, the club was back of the gift. About a hundred members and wives and other guests gathered about the festal board for the evening. The governor-elect, still clothed with the authority of president of the club, let the dining have full sway for an hour. It was a very enjoyable menu that the hotel served in the main dining} room on this occasion. Then the gathering was called to order for the musical and speaking period of the evening and President Shafer turned | the meeting over to Judge Burr, who in turn delegated J. P. Wagner to turn on the musical program. Presi- dent-elect Worth Lumry announced there would be no New Year's meet- ing, but that the meeting then post- * |poned would be held at the usual hour on the following Thursday, January 3, in the usual place. Hymns Explained Sheets of Christmas hymns had been passed around and it was in- tended to sing all of these, but time was limited. Before cach hymn was sung, Father John Slag made a brief review of the music and author- ship of the selection. He explained} the origin of Adeste Fideles and its Portuguese air, of Holy Night, made; up jointly by a priest’s inspiration | and the woras of a schoolmaster, ana of Philips Brooks’ Little Town of Bethlehem, inspired by a visit to the birthplace of Christ. The singing of the hymns was led by a quartet consisting of Mrs. Frank Barnes, Mrs. F. J. Bavendick, Henry Halverson and George Humphreys, | with Mrs. R. E. Morris as accom- panist. The quartet also sang a med- Jey of Christmas and other hymns. Indian School Girls Sing Another part of the musical pro-} gram was filled by six girls from the indian school. They were Alice Slater,’ Marie LaFrance, Dora LaFrance, Mary Little Chief, Verna Bell and Emma Omar. They sang a Christ- mas hymn and in such good voice nd musical cadence that the ap- plause that followed was some time in dying down.

Burke Makes Merry Talk Former Governor Burke had many merry quips to send in the direction of the governor-elect. He described @ trip of the governors of the states with President Roosevelt to Memphis, to a waterway. convention in 1907, and alleged he had heard a Missis- sippi shore’ hative, after looking the state executives over, comment, “Al- most anybody kin be elected guvno: nowadays.” He cherished the hope, he said, that “George” might some day go to a governor's convention at Memphis, if tor no other reason than to evoke the comment that the people were beginning to show sense in the choice of their state executives. Then the former governor made merry by a recital of the {full dress tortures that are one of the draw- backs of being governor and being invited to the White House to sit among punctilious ambassadors, rev- erend governors, and the elite of Washington society. It was all de- livered in & mock vein of commiser- ation for the siate’s newly chosen chief. But he was sure, he said, “George” would wear his own collar aright and pick the right ties for these occasions, though in time he might come to realize after so many} | feasts as fall to the lot of a governor, i that full dress is so termed because the man in it usually eats himself fat. The former governor was in his wittiest mood and he amused the gathering, sentence after sentence, with his quips. Tested by Ordeal, Says Shafer The governor-elect responded in Ikind to Justice Burke. He said he al- ready had gone through the ordeal of being ad i by so many volunteer wiseacres and being importuned by another legion of suppliants for office, but until he heard the former gover- nor on the field of social amenities with which a governor is expected to conform he did not realize that the worst was yet to come. But after his experience in the Kiwanis club he felt competent -to-meet any inferior situation. -“Anyhow;~ he said with humorous gravity, he was willing to go to Memphis to dissipate any un- fortunate impression the natives there have on the subject of gover- |¥ nors. That the ladies might not have a misapprehension as to the character the use which their husbands make their time and energy at Kiwanis luncheons, the governor-elect ad- verted to the playground activities which he said was the in- auguration of a program of service to the young pcople of the city.

BEARS AND GEORCA IN FIGHTING SHAPE Pasadena, Calif., Dec. 28. — (#) — With but three practice days remain- ing before their New Year’s struggle here, the football machines of Cali- fornia and Georgia Tech have begun to get into fighting shape. Coach Clarence M. “! ” Price is satisfied that the physical condition of his players is the height that he desires, and ly he has cut the Bears’ practice down to a single workout dally. California had been away from the gridiron considerably longer than the Tech players. The Bears shut down on the pigskin activities immediately after the game with Stanford Nov. 24, and did not resume practice until a week ago. Reports from the Tech camp told of the continued illness of Raleigh Drennon, reguar guard, and his un- derstudy, Jim Brooke, but the team as a whole is beginning to show a brightening luster. both defensively and offensively. Its plays are click- ing better. The Golden Tornado was put through a long workout at the Rose bowl by Coach Bill Alexander yester- day afternoon and the occasion marked the first time that Tech has|’ really cut loose since ‘west- SEVEN VETERANS 10 | PLAY ATW SALEM | That's the fiste precaution.

Leo Kossick, Moorhead referee, was expected to handle this contest, but Thursday Leo Leyitt, Tut's manager, informed Promoter Jack Hurley that he would call off the program unless an outside referee were hired. Levitt pointed out that Tut has im- portant bouts scheduled with Ray pared of Chicago and Tony Canzon- either Hoke or Curley Ulrich.
