2 SCIENCE CONTINUES COSMIC RAY PROBE WITH SETTLE DATA Preliminary Findings ‘on Stra- tosphere Findings Given to Public Chicago, Dec. 8.—(#)—Preliminary scientific findings indicating that sctence stands to enhance greatly its knowledge of the elusive cosmic rays as result of the recent ascension into the stratoephere by two Americans, were announced Friday by Dr. Arthur H. Compton, University of Chicago physicist. Dr. Compton, who is vitally inter- ested in the cosmic ray data obtained by Lieut. Commander T. G. W. Settle nnd Major C. L. Fordney on their flight from Akron, O., last November 20, made his first official report to the National Academy of Science for pub- -lcation in the January issue of its tnonthly. He said that data computed so far from readings of instruments placed in the gondola of the balloon, do not settle argument over the nature of | the rays. It was learned that the tays are 100 times greater in the Three mothers participated in the constitutional convention at Salt Lake City, Utah, which resulted in turial of the national prohibition law beneath a nation’s disapproval.

To ensnare the rays and attempt to solve the mystery of their nature and origin two tests were made. For one an unshielded ionization chamber ‘was installed in the gondola and for) the other an ionization chamber shielded by the equivalent of a sheet of solid lead to keep out other rays. As the balloon rose to the layer of thin air surrounding the earth, the says set up an electrical current in the fnization chambers. To those who have maintained that the sky at great heights is black in- stead of blue, the flight, said Dr. Compton, proved definitely their FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: tled tonight and Saturday; rising temperature t 0- ies ed For North Da- kota: Unsettled, snow probable east portion to- night and extreme east Saturday; rising temperature ena it a nid portion Saturday.

CONTINUED Sarcastic Passages Mark Wenzel Ouster missioner spent at Bar association conventions. At most of the meet- ings, since 1924, Wenze) said he spent from two to three days, outlining the dates of each in detail. In attending some meetings, Wen- zel said, he deducted time from his vacations, Questioned about the time he spent editing “Bar Briefs,” a publication of the Bar association, Wenzel testified he spent from 90 to 95 per cent of the time taken to do this work outside of office hours. “Where was the other 10 per cent?” Ellsworth asked. “Possibly when the other commis. sioners were reading newspapers,” Wenzel said. “It never interfered with my work.” In one instance, when Shafer ob- jected to a question as referring to matter outside the complaint, and Verret replied general covered a wide field, Wenzel remark- ed, “you omitted habitual drunken- ness.” out.” “Thank you very tenderly,” Wen- zel replied. Several times Wenzel clashed with Ellsworth and Verret on the form of Questions, Wenzel charging “ you may ask questions, but you're not going to put answers in my mouth.” On one occasion, Ellsworth re- quested the witness to “kindly confine yourself to my questions.” ‘TU Do the Answering’ “You do the questioning, and I'll do the answering,” Wenzel told thé Prosecutor, Wenzel’s activities in bringing about @ referendum of the law em- Powering the governor to remove Workmen’s Compensation Bureau commissioners without cause, defeated at the September special election, was an object of questioning by the state.

I shall discuss the matter in| order that you may understand fuliy| just what has happened in order that you may draw your own conclusions. I present my view with the single purpose of preserving and protect- ing the ideals of the organization, the | safe-keeping of which was entrusted to the executive committee by the convention in March, 1932. Followed ‘Private’ Pro; “Almost immediately after the present governor was inducted into office, it became apparent that the administration intended to pursue policies which, unless checked, would lead to a condition of affairs for which his sponsors and the Nonpar- tisan League would not care to as- sume responsibility. An effort: was made by sincere men and women who were the friends of the governor to counsel with him, to cooperate with him, to help him, in order that the purposes for which he had been elect- ed might be carried out. It soon became apparent that Mr. Langer had a program of his own to which no reference had been made in the campaign and which differed in the extreme from the principles he had enunciated on the platform. Almost referendum, Wenzel replied “abso- lutely no; I made no demand.” Ex- pense of referendum was divided three ways, Wenzel said, with himself, another “Workmen's Compensation commissioner, and the employes per- ticipating, all valuntarily. Wenzel said he spent $91 and assumed the others had spent a similar sum. Questioned about mileage on trips to Bar association meetings and con- ferences of the organization's execu- tive committee, Wenzel said he paid all his own expenses, except when he was on business for the bureau and met in the evening with members of the executive committee, who were advised of his whereabouts. He said in the last 10 years probably a half dozen instances arose where he met with the executive committee while on bureau business, but that the Bar association paid his travel ex- penses when he made trips strictly in behalf of the association. Prize Winners Sold At Livestock Show Chicago, Dec. 8—(#)—The nation’s leading stockmen, through with fea- ture events of the 34th annual inter- show arena for sale pits Friday. The auctioneer's ,|hammer thumped in several spots within the world’s largest stock yards as show cattle were offered for sale. Killing of champions and near champions of all fat animals at the international is a part of the required program. The best steers of the international brought the best prices paid since 1931. “Briar Cliff Model,” grand champion this year, sold for $1.30 a Pound, five cents more than the price paid for the grand champion steer a year ago. The champion load of steers was sold for $16.75 per hundredweight, $1.25 higher than that paid last year. BY WM. E.

Their qualifications, with one or two exceptions, were that they would agree to any plan he might propose and could be used to carry out his purposes without question or much regard for the steps that might be used to accomplish his ends. That situation has prevailed throughout the eleven months of his incumbency. He has utterly failed to cooperate or counsel with the other national and state officials, all of whom are Non- partisans of longer standing and elected to office by greater majori- ties than he. “Mr. Langer has been a disap- pointment to those who supported him in the last election. Those who worked and voted for him sincerely believed he would give the state an honest, efficient administration. The very opposite has been true. Bread and Circuses “The Roman emperors in the deca- dent period of the empire conceived the ‘bread and circus’ idea. To keep the people quiescent and docile they gave them bread for their stomachs and circuses for entertainment on the theory that if they catered to these elemental instincts the people could be handled and made to do anything the emperor wished. Be- hind the scenes, it would be possible to practice wholesale corruption, ex- tortion, graft and all manner of evil. Our present governor has much the same eonception of government, al- though he believes publicity will sat- isfy the wants of the people. In his personal newspaper, he grabs credit for any good thing that may happen to come along. He believes that showmanship will make him a hero worthy of the support of the of this state. He is not able to nish bread for the hungry, but he takes credit for having done so. Nor is he able to furnish circuses for the entertainment of the people, unless his antics in calling out the militia on the most impossible occasions, or inane Don Quixote windmill smashing may be construed as af- fording diversion to the voters of this state. His isterest in the people of the state is confined entirely to the importance of so misleading them that they will consider him a real friend and reelect him to office. Back of his showmanship, based upon a pretended interest in the welfare of the state and its people, is played a system of political racketeering by a group of approved henchmen who look upon public office as an oppor- tunity to practice the spoils system. Al Those Appropriation Vetoes “As a cardinal principle of the League platform in the last cam- paigns was the promise to substan- ti reduce the cost of state gov- it. Because of the prevailing to effect a reduction of the ten mil- governor requested a reduction of $1,000,000. The legislature to make a careful analysis of all ap- propriations and, without any prompt- ings from the governor, reduced the reduction show and that something would have to be done to enable him . Accordingly, scientific basis but with a stroke of his destructive at the packing plants, This bill pass- ed the house by an overwhelming ma- Jority. It passed the senate by an al- most proportionately overwhelming vote. The governor vetoed it. In the 1931 session of the legislature, Langer was employed by the packing interests to fight the oleomargarine tax bill. His veto of the weighing and grading measure at the dast session seems to indicate that a very friendly relationship still exists between Mr. Langer and such interests as were opposing that legislation. The gover- nor can offer no justifiable reason for his veto of this bill, and it must be construed as a move to protect such special interests at the expense of the people of this state. The whole history of this transactions, if it were known, would probably prove to be very interesting to the farmers who Produce livestock for market and who sincerely wanted the protection on grading and inspection provided for in that bill. Rapped Rail Board “I call your attention to his veto of the appropriation for the Railroad Commission providing for funds with which to carry on the work to secure reduced railroad freight rates and uti- lity rates in the state. The members of the Railroad Commission, although of the same political faith but be- cause they were hot “yes men,” had also incurred his displeasure, and this was one way of striking back besides affording him an opportunity of put- ting himself in @ favorable light with the railroads and utilities. More than any other group in the state, the railroads would have been benefited by the proposed sales tax, and Mr. Langer’s enthusiastic advocacy of this measure may, to a degree at least, be interpreted in the light of this fact. “Special interests doing business in North Dakota are satisfied with Mr. Langer’s administration. You will find very little anti-Langer sentiment among the groups that have’ large corporate interests at stake. The packing plants are satisfied, the cen- tralizers are pleased, the utilities are content with the situation as it now exists, the railroads have never had a better friend. “Mr. Langer boasts of the fact that he is the economy governor. Let us analyze his record in this matter. Governor Shafer was accused of ex- travagance, and you remember the campaign story of how poor Adolph was subjected to a veritable swarm of inspectors who harrassed him to the point where he could not attend to the duties of his busine’s. With tears in his eyes, Langer lamented this sad situation and promised to abolish all inspectors except those that were absolutely necessary for the regulation and supervision of the var- ious departments. What happened? A bill passed by the legislature creating a Regulatory Department under the control of which all inspec- tions were to be merged. Let us look at the Regulatory Department as now constituted. In the heyday of Gov- ernor Shafer'’s extravagance, the total number of inspectors and employees, including stenographers, supervising the work now done by the Regulatory Department, at no time exceeded 33 People, 70 On Payroll Now Today, I am reliably informed, the amount is in excess of 70. If we add to this number some 20 odd beer in- fepectors and other special inspectors here and there appointed by the gov- ernor, we find that instead of having the number of inspectors cut down, we have under the Langer administra- tion three for every one we had dur- ing the former administration. “Why all these inspectors in the Regulatory Department? Why twen- ty beer inspectors with twenty brand new Pontiac cars? It is not because Mr. Langer desires to give the people & more efficient administration or be of greater help to them. It is be- cause he is imbued with an insatiable desire to build for himself, in spite of public sentiment against his policies and principles, a political machine that will perpetuate him in office. And you may be sure he will continue to appoint enough inspectors and enough men of his own ilk on the pay Toll to secure his own nomination at the next convention if that is at all economic situation, it was imperative | pense tive per cent, and in some en per cent, of the salaries of the |4ous employees in the state. 8) and intimidate the employees to ‘ne Mr.|point where they were coerced ‘accepting the five per cent plan. The Leader Costs Little “The ostensible purpose of this so- licitation was to establish a newspa- itself per to be known as the “Leader” and properly so, the name “Bleeder.” We have no way of accurately determin- ing the amount obtained through this method, but on the basis of the state Pay roll in the departments controlled by the governor, it takes little ima- gination to realize the tremendous sums thus obtained. Only a fraction’ for the publication of gy newspaper. Langer’s personal control and to be used as @ campaign fund to insure his perpetuation in office. “Even in the short time Mr. Langer has been occupying the office of gov- ernor, he has demonstrated beyond doubt that to him principles and poll- cles are of slight consequence if they interfere with his own personal plans. He is imbued with one idea, and one only, and that is to get himself re- elected to office. To accomplish this it is necessary that some gestures be made to win popular support. Among these we may mention the morator- ium, commendable, laudable, and urg- ed upon him by the spokesmen of at least two great farm organizations in this state. This alsoistrue of the em- bargo, provision for which was made by the last session of the legislature and the proclamation of which was, brought about through the instru- mentality of the Farmers Holiday as- sociation. The governor will point to these acts as reasons why he has kept faith with the people. Let us remem- ber that they are measures propound- ed by him as future campaign thun- der and as a cloak to cover the many nefarious acts of a checkered admin- istration. Beware the Payroller “Bill Langer doesn’t like the pres- ent state executive committee be- cause it does not consist of “yes” men. ‘The members of this committee had the courage to differ with him. They saw that he was violating every prin- ciple for which the league organiza- tion stands. Because the members of the state executive committee cannot be coerced he has decided to smash them, and he is wholeheartedly about that business now. “No one knows definitely what his next move will be, but there is a defi- nite and well organized plan to Lan- gerize North Dakota.

This is one cam- paign promise Langer is doing his utmost to carry out, and unless our people recognize the real purpose be- hind his schemes there is real danger that this honest political movement by the farmers of our state may be destroyed. My attention has been called to what is known as the “administra- tion” plan of organizing the Nonpar- tisan League.
