Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, “yigetttees (incorporated CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Langer Must Answer ‘The statement of John Husby, com- missioner of agriculture and labgr, in ‘which he asserted that Governor Langer's veto of the appropriation for the state dairy department will cost North Dakota farmers thousands of dollars, calls for an answer by the governor if he has one. Although Husby's assertions were made with the avowed purpose of clarifying the situation, they consti- tute an accusation of the governor in the one particular which he has avow- ed is closest to his heart; the wel- fare of the farmer. In effect, the Husby charge is that the governor renders the farmer lip service and crashes the headlines in his alleged behalf but ignores their welfare in those official acts which really mean something. It has long been the habit of the governor, when he meets opposition, to charge those who disagree with him with bad faith and to claim their as- sertions are falsehoods. He has done this on occasion when competent tes- timony could have been adduced to Prove that the governor was either in- dulging in misrepresentation or else Possessed a conveniently faulty mem- ory. This case is not open to that sort of defense. He did veto practically the entire appropriation for the dairy department, leaving only enough to pay the salary of the dairy commis- sioner and giving him absolutely noth- ing to work with. He did fall to ex- plain the reason for this unprecedent- ed action. Mr. Husby makes the point that the dairy department is one of the few Activities of the state government di- rectly concerned with the welfare of the farmer and with nothing else. The governor should have known that. {f he did not he could have learned. eex One of the most surprising phases of Husby’s statement was the asser- tion that the veto came as a surprise to him and that he had not been ask- td for information on the subject. In view of the fact that Husby and Langer were elected by the same Political faction, it was to be assumed that the governor would have given the commissioner of agriculture and lakor the courtesy of asking for infor- mation on so vital a subject. The fact that he did not proves one of several things and none of them speak well for Governor Langer. Either he had & reason for the veto outside of any which he would care to give the pub- lic; he was interested in punishing Husby for some real or fancied politi- cal disaffection, or it was a manifes- tation of personal arrogance and dis- regard for the welfare of the farmer. The governor's prating about sup- Porting the farmers interests will not overshadow this important executive Qct and its consequences. Husby asserts he has no informa- tion as to the reason why the gover- nor vetoed this appropriation but he, “ #5 well as others, ‘could make a pret- look at recent political happenings to find a reasonable answer. the industrial commission, opposed jgome things the governor wanted.
