a 4 MONDAY, JUNE 17, 1926 GOVERNOR 10 FILL BIGGEST POSTS IN APPOINTIVE POWER State Tax Commissioner, Farm Grain Storage Head and Ad- , ministration Board Up NAMES OF TWO RUMORED Iver Acker Expected to Get _ Thoresen’s Job, J. E. Davis | That of F. E. Diehl With the installation of three ma- jor appointees scheduled for July 1, Political observers here expec the ad- ministration of Governor George F. Shafer to get fully under way late this summer. First on the list of important ap- pointments is that of a state tax com- missioner to succeed Thorsten H. ‘Thoresen, Governor Shafer's Nonpar- tisan opponent in the contest for the Republican gubernatorial nomination last June. Rumor has it that Iver Acker, of Hillsboro, will be the appointee. It has been in circulation so long and so persistently without contradiction or any other name being talked of that his appointment is regarded as an ac- complished fact. Formal announce- ment of the appointment, whoever it will be, will not be made until late this month, Governor Shafer has said. The same thing holds true of the new grain storage commissioner, whose task will be to organize and direct the department which will ad- minister the state's grain storage law. Storage Head Selected The head of this department has been selected by the governor, but his name will not be announced until the time for him to take office nears. Recently, the governor said, the pros- pective appointee has been investi- gating the workings of storage laws in other states and has been laying plans to make the department really effective as soon as it is organized. The governor said he wanted the ap- Pointee to be able to do this free of all bother by prospective job hunters or other individuals. Since the grain storage law is dis- tinctly the child of the Shafer admin- istration, the governor is interested in making it a success from the begin- ning. Unless it is of real and wide- spread service to the farmer he will not be satisfied. Present plans call for the adminis- tration of the farm storage act from an office at Fargo, at least in the be- | q, ginning. Later, additional offices may be opened in other strategic cen- ters if it seems advisable, the gover- nor said. The number of offices will depend largely on the use which farmers make of the farm storage law. The governor's idea is to keep the department close to the people and to make it easy for the farmer to use it, Board of Administration Last, but not least, is the appoint- ‘ment to the state board of adminis- tration. The term of F. E. Diehl will expire July 1 and the question is whether Diehl will be reappointed. He is an Independent in politics but is said to lack the support of some Independ- ent leaders. The governor's attitude remains something of a mystery. The rumor that Diehl would not be reappointed has found the name of J. E. Davis, of Goodrich, linked with the position. Davis is said to be a man with large interests, however, and another rumor was circulated recently that Governor Shafer had offered him the place but that Davis had turned it down. Under the law the state board of administration is non-political but the fact remains that every Independent governor has appointed only Inde- Pendents and Nonpartisan governors have appointed only Nonpartisans or individuals who have supported the ‘Nonpartisan cause. In addition to the three appointive members of, the board, the state su- Perintendent of public instruction and the secretary of agriculture and labor are ex-officio members. Two of the appointive members now serv- are Nonpartisans. Dieh! and the ex-officio members are Independents. Game and Fish Head Due Although political lines have been drawn in the board only occasionally it is known that considerable dis- agreement had developed members of the present board. Some of it is political and some of it is per- sonal. Those who contend that Davis | Tw, or some one else will be named to re- place Diehl are of the opinion that the governor desires to appoint some- one capable of quieting the reports of dissension which have occasionally come from the board in recent months. The appointment of a state game and fish commissioner, under a law which was to have become effective duly 1, will be postponed until after cently filed with the secretary of state to refer the law to the people ‘will make it inoperative until and un- less the people approve it.

Dawes, and Great Britain’s new prime min- i ister, Ramsay MacDonald, have launched a new movement toward broad naval disarmament. In a luncheon at the little town of Forres, Scotland, yesterday, General Dawes and Mr. MacMonald arrived at an understanding which will prove the basis and beginning of negoti- ations for their two governments, joined by the other naval powers. Bare announcement of the accord | between General Dawes and Mr. Mac- Donald was contained in a statement after their conference. The details, they said, would be left to two speeches, both to be delivered tomor- row night. The former vice president will speak before the Pilgrims at Lon- don, Mr. MacDonald before the town council at Lossiemouth, Scotland. MacDonald Writes Note The prime minister; with his own conversation with the new ambassa- dor. It said. | “We have had a conversation re- | garding the present position of the | question of disarmament as between | the United States and Great Britain. It has been informal and general, and | most satisfactory. “His excellency, General Daw proposes to refer to the subject at the Pilgrims’ dinner on Tuesday | night, and I chall do the same at | Lossiemouth and that is intended to be the beginning of the negotiations. We both wish to make it clear that other naval powers are expected to cooperate in these negotiations, upon the successful consummation of which the fate of the world depends.” U. S. Visit Not Mentioned So far as could be ascertained no mention was 1 ade by either of what was bélieved to be a prime motive in General Dawes’ hurried trip to Scot- land to talk with the prime minister over the week-end, that is, the in- vitation to come to Washington to confer with President Hoover on the Anglo-American situation. In London, while enthusiasm was | expressed that the two men have found their opinions so reconcilable, there was a certain measure of sur- prise, not without a tinge of dis- appointment, at the reference to other powers partaking in the negotiations for a naval agreement. It was | thought the chances for reaching an agreement were much greater if the treaty were to be bilateral rather than multilateral. In some circles even there was distinct opposition to an- other naval conference. f putseirasear ents Coed Beauty.
