D., May 14) | Withdrawal of 1,200 names from peti- tions asking an election to vote on the recall of State Senator E. W. Jones of Killdeer has been filed with J. R. Cuskelly, Dunn county audi- tor. Should the withdrawals be found acceptable, there would be insuffici- ent signatures to bring about a re- call election, Cuskelly said. Mandamus proceedings have been brought against the county auditor to compel him to call an election. He has been ordered to show cause why the election should not be called and will appear in Stark county district court Tuesday. To institute a recall election, signa- tures representing 30 per cent of the votes cast for governor at the previ- ous election are required. In_ the 48th legislative district—Dunn, Mer- cer and Oliver counties—this would require 1,710 signatures. Petitions for the recall bear 2,858 names, but with- drawal of 1,200 would leave 1,658 sig- natures, Cuskelly said that whether an elec- tion is to be called will be left to the determination of the court.

HOUSE COMMITTEE ' WILL EXAMINE PLAN TO ASSIST FARMERS Allotment Scheme Said to Have All Advantages of Other Ideas Mentioned Washington, May 24.—(4)—The do- mestic allotment farm relief plan, which, its sponsors say, will put $700,- 000,000 annually in farmers’ pockets | through direct tariff benefits, will be examined by the house agriculture committee Wednesday as the first step to enlist congressional favor. Meanwhile, although time is short, @ movement is under way to bring the and representatives. W. R. Ronald, editor of the Mitchell, South Dakota, Republican, and M. L. Wilson, professor of agricultural economics at the Montana State Agri- cultural college, will appear before the house committee to explain the plan. They are members of a committee of five appointed at a mecting of farm economists and business men in Chi- cago last month to promote it. A draft of a bill is expected to be completed Tuesday and probably will be introduced in the house and sen- ate this week. Twenty-five senators and represent- atives heard Ronald explain Monday how the plan is designed to work by levying excise taxes on processors of wheat, cotton, tobacco, hogs and rice. These taxes would go directly to farm- ers as a bonus for the portion of his crop domestically consumed. The plan, Ronald said, would not only prevent expansion of production but also would serve to balance pro- duction with domestic market re- quirements. Administered by the farm board, he asserted it would attain all the ob- jectives of the equalization fee by making it apply in full on all home consumption, of the debenture by making the subsidy apply on the en- tire home consumption instead of on exports only, and of the allotment plan sponsored by the Farmers’ Union by working it out in more detailed form. ‘These three ideas have been incor- porated into one bill which was at- tached Monday by Senator Nye, (Rep., N. D.) to the billion-dollar fevenue measure as a rider. The house agri-’ culture committee plans to act on this relief measure Tuesday.

The North Dakota supreme court last August upheld the constitution- ality of a state law providing that th: purchaser of a tractor and certain other farm machinery for his own use may rescind if the machinery does not Prove reasonably fit for the purpose for which it was bought. Several other cases, involving sim- ilar points of law, also were decided by the court. The Advance-Rumely Thresher company, challenging the validity of the law, took one of the actions to the United States supreme court. The act involved is chapter 238, laws of 1919, and was attacked on the grounds that it interferes with the frecdom of contract and is therefore in violation of the 14th amendment to the constitution of the United States and section 13 of the state constitu- tion.

The meeting was arranged at the request of “rate-conscious” men from Fargo and Grand Forks, who partic- ipattd for a decade in the battle which resulted in the present freight scale. The Red River Valley men, in @ series of similar meetings throughs out the state, are telling North Da- kota that they need financial aid to protect the present structure. The objective of the drive is to pre- vent reopening of the freight rate case before the Interstate Commerce commissicn next month. According to the plan mapped out by W. P. Chestnut, secretary of the Fargo Chamber of Commerce, $30,000 will be raised in this state for the battle. Two-thirds of this will ba raised in Grand Forks and Fargo and the remaining $10,000 will be sought in the remainder of the state, Quotas Are Set The quota in the Bismarck area will be $1,500 and that in the Man- dan area $1,000, Chestnut said.

At the same time, they said, the revenue of the western carriers is increased by ee through the raising of rates for freight con- signed to destinations in Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa from eastern points.
