KANE RESIGNATION RECEIVED BY BOARD University President Says Ap- proach of Retirement Age ‘Caused Action ‘The University of North Dakota to- @ay faces the most critical situation in its 50 years of existence, Dr. G.

Kane as president of the University of North Dakota was announced here Thursday by Nelson Sauvain, chair- man of the state board of adminis- tration. Kane's letter of resignation was re- ceived at the board of administra- tion, and a duplicate copy at the of- fice of Governor William Langer.

In this connection it may interest you to know that President Black- burn, who began his term with only three instructors and 11 students, all below high school rank, received a salary, 50 years ago, higher than the maximum fixed by the recent initiat- ed measure for a president of a uni- versity of 3,000 students, including a graduate division, and with a faculty of 150. We know that a university, like a business concern, must obtain its personnel on the competitive mar- ket, and it should be obvious that competent professors cannot be re- tained by an institution if it is able to offer them no more than the sal- aries of inexperienced beginners in Hed standard universities of the coun- ry.” . Governor Is Present Dr. Abbott headed a short program over which Supreme Court Justice ‘W. L. Nuessle, president of the local alumni association, presided. Among the guests were Governor and Mrs. William Langer and Former Gover- nor and Mrs. George F, Shafer, mem- bers of the board of administration, State legislators and officials, alumni, former students and friends of the state university. Miss Charlotte Logan was elected president of the association and As- sistant Attorney General Harold D. Shaft will succeed Miss Rita Murphy as _secretary-treasurer. Dr. Abbott reviewed the history of the university, pointing out that it is five years older than the state itself, through the presidencies of Webster Merrifield, Frank L, McVey, Earl J. Babcock and Thomas F. Kane, whose oo was announced Wednes- lay. Dr, Abbott said the institution has Grown from an enrollment of 79 in 1883 to 3,000 in 1932, The university's first financial crisis came in 1895, the speaker said, when Governor Roger Allin, forced to econ- omy after six years of extreme drouth @nd crop failures, exercised the veto “so freely that it eliminated him as a Candidate for reelection.” Reviewed U History The speaker devoted most of his @ddress to a review of the institution's graduates who have gained state, na- tional and world-wide prominence. ‘These included Governor William Langer and former Governors Lynn J.

AGAINST PRISON LABOR Feb. 17, 1933. Editor, Tribune: I read with considerable interest your editorial on prison labor in Thursday's Tribune. I am sorry I cannot agree with you. I am not in favor of the use of convicts for labor in any form where it may deprive law abiding citizens of their right to work and earn a livelihood. Particularly so at the present time when a job is so hard to find. All of the bills on prison labor presented so far to the legislature at this session conflict with the employ- ment of free labor in one way or an- other. All of them go beyond the confines of the state penitentiary it- self in the marketing of prison made goods and admit all other state in- stitutions, as well as counties and municipalities, to participation in whatever benefits are to be derived. Further, if past policies of the heads of state institutions are to be con- tinued, it will not be long before the services of convict labor will be ex- tended to private individuals and commercial institutions. There is not a single state where convict labor is now employed where the principle and purpose of that employment has not been abused and where the intent of the legislatures has not been overstepped. It is rea- sonable to assume that the same can happen in our state also. In the South, where convict labor has been used extensively, with its “Higgen- botham” cases, prison camps, whip- ping Leary what not, its use has proven a disgrace to the good name and reputations of the states using same. In the South its principal abuse is from convict labor on high- ways, but there is nothing to prevent some future legislature from again taking up the question and making its application in this state more gen- eral than might have been the in- tent of this present legislature. Quite a few of us remember two years ago when a member of that legisla- ture proposed building the new state apitol with convicts from the state Prison. I note the last paragraph of your editorial which is as follows: “To be successful a prison industry need not show large profits. If it breaks even it-has served a useful purpose, that of aiding in the solution of a very important human problem.” That is where the rub comes in. Prison labor not only deprives law- abiding citizens of that much em- Ployment but it further sets up a de- gree of competition by sales to the state, counties and cities, that forces the legitimate wholesaler and re- tailer to further reduce overhead ex- pense, ting inevitably in greater wage reductions. At the present time we have the twine plant with an investment too man. If we are not to stop commercial- ization of the prisoner then permit me to suggest @ type of employment that at least, will not interfere with labor in this state. Why not give consideration to the establishment of @ linseed oil crusher mill. North Dakota raises the finest flax in the world and Minneapolis is the near- fed market, ne the - of h-priced mac! now use and use as much hand labor as will a 3 EE [ g ip other papi of convict employment ques- the foregoing.

For three or four years it has been known in confidence that my plans were|won by made to retire at the end of this school year, on account of the two facts just mentioned. I am reminded of the plan at this time because just 15 years ago this Founders’ Day week Hood on the campus for the first e. “I have hesitated somewhat in car- tying out this plan of retiring under the present very trying conditions for fear it would look as though I were a slacker, but even in spite of the grounds for this charge, I herewith at this time report my resignation, to take effect at the end of the school year, July first, so that you may have the intervening time to make plans for filling the position. “I wish to acknowledge the cour- tesies of the board and the help that has been given in the handling of university administration.” The letter, dated Feb. 21, was ad- dressed to Sauvain. Peace Reigns Again In Milk Strike Area Milwaukee, Feb. 23.—(?)—The milk markets of Wisconsin were peaceful Thursday for the first time in more than a week as dairymen affiliated with the Wisconsin cooperative milk Pool observed a milk strike truce which is to last until May 1. Complying with the order of Walter M. Singler, president of the pool, | marck-Mandan Scottish Rite bodies, sponsors of the contest. Second honors and $3 prizes were Erma Wittenberg, Mandan, in the fitth-sixth division, with “Our Navy and the Spanish-American War,” and Kathryn Peake, Mandan, in the seventh-eighth division. Winners of places from third to 12th in each contest will receive $1 each. They are: Fifth-sixth—Audrey Cave, _Bis- marck; Earl Beatt, Bismarck; George Cotton, Driscoll; Kenneth Tompt, Driscoll; Marion Dahl, Mandan; Ann Dolan, Bismarck; Jimmie Schunk, Bismarck; Elizabeth Ritterbush, Bis- marck; Vivian Ambers, Driscoll; and Audrey Pederson, Driscoll. Seventh-eighth— Grace Johnston, St. Mary's; Norman Woehle, St. Mary's; Vernice Pederson, Driscoll; Evelyn Dahl, Mandan; Delia Beylund, St. Mary’s; Florence Bobzien, St. Mary's; Cynthia Dursema, Bismarck; Margaret Thompson, Mandan; Louise Jackson, Driscoll; and Murlel John- son, Bismarck. Those in the fifth-sixth branch were to write on some important his- toric event in which the American Navy played an important part while those in the seventh-eigthth division wrote on “Washington and the Navy.” The contests were arhounced in connection with annual Navy Day ex- ercises last fall and entries closed last Dec, 24. Judging was completed last week by E. J. Taylor, Bismarck; Rev. G. W. Stewart, Mandan; and State Superin- tendent of Public Instruction Arthur strike pickets lifted their embargo | E. Thompson. and scattered to their homes in a dozen eastern Wisconsin counties Wednesday night. While the more belligerent strikers grumbled over the signing of the truce at a time when they said it ap- peared that their campaign for $1.40 a hundred pounds for milk would soon be won, there were others who hailed the agreement made between Singler and representatives of 20 farm organ- izations at Madison late Wednesday as a victory. The truce agreement was made af- ter Gov. A. G. Schmedeman had in- tervened with a promise that diffi- culties of Wisconsin dairy farmers would be presented by him to Presi- dent-elect Roosevelt at the conference of governors early in March. Supreme Court Justice A. M. Christ- ianson was chairman of the contest. To Transfer $500,000 From State Hail Fund The senate Wednesday night passed and sent to the house a measure pro- viding for the transfer of $500,000 from the hail surplus fund to the real estate bond interest payment fund. The funds are to be subse- quently restored. Originally proposing the transfer of $1,500,000 between July 1, 1933 and January 1, 1935, an amendment by Senator C. W. Fine of Benson county was adopted after third reading re- ducing the amount of the transfer. In the morning she danced in a side- show. Sundown saw the world at her feet!
