D., April 21.—Resolutions condemning Governor William ippropriation made by the last session of the department were unanimously adopted by the North legisla at a convention here Thursday. Local Creamerymen’ Action was taken after John Husby, commissioner of agriculture and scored the governor's action and after tative of the Central Cooperative As- Northwest, said packers are defraud- ing the farmers by short-weight and undergrading just as the creamery operators charged that so-called central}: zed creameries are defrauding them Many facts and figures bearing on the latter contention were presented during the discussion of the resolution With the declared intention of pro- tecting themselves against unfair Practices by the “centralizers” the local dairymen voluntarily adopted a plan whereby they will assist in fin- ancing work formerly done by the dairy department with state funds. The plan is predicated on the theory that they can compel the state to pay the salaries of two deputy dairy commissioners despite Langer’s veto of appropriations for their salaries. The reason lies in the fact that these salaries are fixed by law and the supreme court has held, on several occasions, that the state must make provision for statutory salaries despite failure of the legislature to appropriate for them or guberna- torial veto. Plan Lawsuit Soon This question will be raised in a Jawsuit to be instituted soon, Husby the creamerymen. He said it will necessary to employ counsel other than the attorney general’s office be- cause an opinion recently given him on the subject appeared to him to be an attempt to justify the governor's veto rather than an exposition of the law. W. E. Matthael, state senator from Wells county, and T. H. Thore- sen, Grand Forks, were mentioned as Possible attorneys in this connection.

The commissioners affected were Axel Soder, chairman of the board; Charles Swanson and H. F. Tiedman. ‘They were accused in a petition filed by Attorney F. E. McCurdy and signed by H. P. Asselstine, C. A. An- derson, P. P. Bliss, L. E. Heaton and C. W. Ritterbush. All but Ritterbush live in the eastern and southern parts of the county. Ritterbush lives in Bismarck. The charge the commis- sioners is that they voted to extend ® contract with the Bismarck Trib- une company “wrongfully, corruptly, criminally and wilfully” and contrary to law. The contract was one for county printing and supplies for the next two years and was renewed at a re- duction of 10 per cent. Despite the charge in the petition, however, it developed Friday that County Attorney George S. Register, legal adviser of the board, does not ‘believe the action was contrary to law and had so advised Soder and Tiedman who sought his advice on the subject. Hearing in the case is scheduled on May 4 at 10 a. m., at the state capitol before O. G. Abern, Wishek attorney, appointed by the governor as . special commissioner to take testi- mony in the case. The defendants in the action an- nounced Friday that they had re- tained John jullivan of Mandan to nt them and it was indicated that Sullivan later would issue a statement covering their side of the case. Is Common Practice Although the defendants made no comment pending issuance of the statement by Sullivan, it was learned authoritatively that contracts of similar nature have been renewed in many counties in the past without comment and that the practice is common with county boards through- out the state. ‘The usual practice is to advertise for bids for this work every election year. At the expiration of the one- year contract, boards have frequently negotiated renewals on the basis of conditions then existing, if any changes have occurred, in order to save the expense of advertising and in the belief that they were acting in a business-like way and in the {interests of the | It is expected that the Burleigh county case will call into question each of the contracts for printing, office supplies or other materials ex- tended this year in other counties.
