Walcott, moth- er and stepfather of McCann, asked that their message be given wide cir-| culation in the hope that he woulc read and heed the message.

' Inflation Drive in Doubt | No one knows when the brint of jthe extreme inflationist attack will come, but radical inflation sentiment recently has subsided, along with the | virtual collapse of the “back-to-the- gold-standard” flurry. And it seems certain now that neither an inflationary measure nor any other measure will be passed by | both houses over Roosevelt's veto. Democratic leaders hope to finish and adjourn before the end of April. |But almost anything may happen within four months. | Meanwhile, the situation is some- what analogous to that in time of war.

(Copyright, 1993, NEA Service, Ine.) | In the matter of removal proceed- ings, the number attempted under the Langer administration stands out asa record. Beginning with the capi- jtet commission removal, which re- . Sulted in resignation of the commis- sion several months before a new law would have legislated it out of exis- tence, ouster proceedings were fret uent. Attempts were made to re- move three members of the Burleigh county board of commissioners, whose suspension and subsequent reinstate- ment was ordered by the governor. A removal action was begun against Max Wishek, McIntosh state’s attor- ney, and he, too, was held to be en- titled to continue in office. There followed removal proceedings against the Stark and Bowman county boards of commissioners, with final action in these cases still pending. The last Proceeding, instituted by the gover- nor himself, is against R. E. Wenzel, workmen’s compensation bureau com- nussioner, whose ouster hearing has Just been completed.

He contended prices of farm products were confiscatory and that the em- { The honor of serv- bargoes are to assist in bringing at- tention of the nation to the farmers’ Plight. The embargoes still are in ef- fect, with a court action pending to test the embargo law under which the governor acted. Martial law, declared in Bismarck last summer on the final day for fil- ing referendum petitions, created ccnsiderable excitement.

Statements came from em- that they ‘were compelled to contribute five per cent of their year’s salary to support the newspaper, while the administra- tion answered their attacks by point- ing to the fact that employes were given subscriptions to sell for the amount contributed and in this man- ner could recover their donations. But the cross-fire of the political battle showed up crt in a sales tax campaign into which the governor'|altar, were: “I ie threw himself with vigor and enthu- Sete tronniterine siasm. He stumped the state, declar- ing that the two per cent sales tax law, enacted by the legislature at his behest and then referred to a vote, was necessary to save many North Dakota schools from closing. The law was defeated and down with it went the 1933 legislative act which would have given the governor authority to remove workmen's compensation bu- reau commissioners without cause, a law aimed chiefly at displacing R. E. Wenzel from the position he had held for 11 years. Defeated also was the law changing the adminfstration of insolvent banks.
