The opinion, written by Charles A. Verret, assistant attorney general, answered a request by Secretary of State Robert Byrne who asked wheth- er only measures specifically named in the governor’s proclamation should be submitted to the people at the special election or whether all initiat- ed and referred measures, including the two not mentioned in the procla- mation should be submitted. The two initiated and referred measures not mentioned in the gover- nor’s proclamation contain a request that those two petitions be submitted vo the electors “at the state-wide pri- mary election to be held on the last ‘Wednesday in June, 1934.” The answer to the question, the opinion read, hinges upon the inter- pretation to be given section 25 of the North Dakota constitution, as amend- ed, reading: “Each measure initiated by or referred to the electors ... shall be voted upon at any state-wide elec- tion designated in the petition, or at any special election called by the gov- ernor.” Quotes Former Decision Verret, in his opinion, quoted a su- preme court decision in the case of Frazier vs. Hall which held the con- stitution gave the power to petitioning electors to designate in referendum petitions a time when referred acts not emergency measures, might be submitted to the elctors at any state- wide election, and also, gave to the governor the power to accelerate the time of holding an election upon such referred measures by calling a special election. The power in the governor to accel- erate the time of holding an election upon referred and initiated measures ies a discretion which he may exercise as to some measures and refuse to exercise as to others, Verret ruled. ‘The petitioners may select the date on which measures they initiate or refer shall be submitted to the voters, ‘and unless such date is changed by the governor, the election on such measures cannot be had at any other time and the exercise by the governor of his discretionary power “must be expressed by him in some manner that leaves no room for doubt that he intended to exercise it.” The two “initiated and referendum” petitions referred to by Verret as not mentioned in the governor’s procla- mation both referred to a vote of the people on the municipal beer store bill passed by the legislature. Two differ- ent groups had filed petitions holding ‘up operation of the law. The five measures to be voted on Gept. 22 include two initiated laws, legalizing sale of beer and Sunday movies, and three referred laws—the sales tax, state bank receiver amend- ment, and permitting the governor to remove commissioners of the work- men’s compensation bureau without cause, First Since 1921 It will be the first special election ®ince 1921 and the second since 1919, according to records in the secretary of state's office, On Oct. 28, 1921, North Dakota voted “No” on six initiated measures, | Fay defeating proposals regarding non- partisan elections, partisan elections, public depositories, the industrial cyummission, rural credits, and Bank of North Dakota. In the special election on June 16, 1919, seven referendum measures were passed. The proposals concerned the state publication and printing com- mission, the board of administration, {ax commissioners, commissioner of immigration, industrial commission, judicial districts and Bank of North Dakota. There also was a special session of the legislature, in session from Nov. 25 to Dec. 1, 1919. A.

Exchange Is Calling In Its Scrip Money Yellow Springs, O., Aug. 15.—(P)— The Midwest Exchange, Inc., born of the depression and reared on the na- tion’s monetary and employment President, said Tuesday a systematic liquidation would be attempted during the next six weeks. Large stocks of goods have been Placd on the shelves of the Yellow Springs exchange store, a subsidiary, to retire the scrip hundreds of persons used in “swapping” things they had for things they needed more. Morgan said the scrip would be redeemed, dol- lar-for-dollar, in stapte merchandise. At the height of its popularity the midwest exchange had a turnover of thousands of dollars worth of goods each week. Many of its patrons re- ceived scrip for labor and exchanged the paper for foodstuffs delivered by farmers who lacked the cash to pay for hired help. The exchange dealt in nearly every type of commodity, mer- chandise and service, including medi- cal and dental attention. Richardson to Help With Elsworth Rites Jamestown, N.

If South bids three hearts his con- tract will be defeated and he will re- ceive a minus score on the board. (Copyright, 1933, NEA Service, Inc.) West Coast Farmers | Face Labor Dispute; San Francisco, Aug. 15.—()—Pick- handle action by farmers and one of- | ticial request for National Guard | protection marked farm labor trou- bles which Tuesday were reported threatening Pacific coast fruit and vegetable harvests, The pick handles were swung, along with clubs and pieces of gas pipe, as 150 ranchers and their employes drove away 40 asserted labor agitators from orchards near Yakima, Wash. A. J, Elliott, supervisor of Tulare county, California, issued the request for the National Guard after nearly all of 700 workers on the Tagus Peach ranch had joined a strike for shorter hours and higher wages. State officials said no immediate ac- tion would be taken on the request. Officials of the California Picking Corporation said the crop will go un- Larvested if the workers insist in their demands. ‘Sleeping Sickness’ St. Louis, Aug. 15—()—A united effort was under way Tuesday in St. bat the outbreak of “sleeping sick~ ness” which already has taken six lives, Dr. J.

D., Aug. 8, 1933. Editor, Tribune: While Washington is flooding the! mails with literature to boost wages and put idle workmen on the payroll, the poor farmer, figuratively speaking, is going to hell in a hand basket. We | hear the cry ‘Prosperity’ on every hand; we see through the medium of advertising how goods of all kinds/| hich the farmer must buy are rising by leaps and bounds, But, in the meantime, how is it on the farm? Cattle are selling for but.a few cents per pound; butter fat is bringing a yittance in a time of dried up pas- tures and ruined crops in general. {Poultry of all kinds is bringing no ; more than it did last year at this time, and, in a nut-shell, everything the jtarmer still has in his possession is jbringing ruinous prices which are |steadily driving him into bankruptcy, Griving him from his farm and mak- ling slaves of his wife and children. It is no use to mince matters, to gloss | jover the truth, or to act the part of| | the ostrich and stick our heads in the | jsand. All this talk of prosperity is but an added insult and heaped up} injustice to the man on the farm. Of, jwhat benefit are higher prices for | ; 8rain crops if there is little or none | to be threshed? | In the meantime, the farmer is ex- | {pected to pay rosperity” prices for There is no use denying the fact. Farmers simply cannot pay up their indebtedness, taxes and all other ex- penses, aud what the government has done so far is but a drop of water on the surface of the ocean. | Now that the government has put its shoulder to the wheel, it cannot turn back. It must set price mini- | mums at least on everything the farmer has to sell. It must guar- antee him a living wage and no long- er mock his misery. Putting the unemployed to work) and boosting wages are all right but, before any such move can succeed, we must give the laboring man some- thing to do; something to produce. Put agriculture back on a_ buying basis. Let the farmer and his fam- ily have sufficient cash to purchase their needs and there will be little worry over unemployment. Com- pelling the farmer to wear home- spun and resort to all manner of ways to eke out a miserable existence is but beggaring the working man. The government has been slow to! realize these indisputable facts. We cannot have a return of the full din- ner pail unless we have busy fac- tories. We cannot run those factories unless we have purchasers for what they produce. Present farm prices do not tend to make living any better for either the farmer or the working man. In fact, we don't believe they are helping; anyone but the big packers and others interested in beggaring the farmer for the enrichment of their wn pockets.
