N. D. A. St Cut in Number of Employes, Civil Service and Direct Responsibility Urged Seventy-five officers and directors of the Greater North Dakota associa- tion were returning to their homes Saturday, to ponder startling govern- mental changes proposed by State Senator J. P. Cain, chairman of the state planning board. Completing their annual confer- ence here, in anniversary meeting, the delegates heard Cain reveal that a number of legislative bills have been prepared, sponsoring the changes. Some may be proposed by initiative, he revealed. Cain spoke as chairman of the planning board, He proposed reduction of state em- Ployes, reduction of the number of senators and representatives in the state legislature; abolishment of all bureaus, departments and commis- sions as now constituted, and concen- tration of the power of appointment and administration in a five-man board of elected and appointed offi- cials. He also recommended civil service for employes, as a means of “divesting political parties of state patronage.” Wants Executive Board He recommended enactment or ini- tiation of a law creating a “board of executives” composed of the gover- nor, attorney general and three ap- intive members who would have terms of eight years each, To this board, Cain envisioned, would be given all powers and duties now Possessed by the state highway de- partment and commissioner, the reg- istrar of motor vehicles, game and fish commissioner, industrial commis- sion, beer commission, state highway patrol, department of weights and measures, state food commissioner and chemist, state printing commis- sion, tax commissioner, board of ad- Faces Recall RANSOM COUNTY 4-H EXHIBITS WIN CORN SHOW CHAMPIONSHIP Lisbon, Parshall, Minto Entries Take Sweepstakes Honors in Crops Section ay JUDGING IS NOT FINISHED: — Hundreds Continue to File Past Stands as 13th Annual Event Nears Close Ransom county exhibitors swept major honors in the 4-H club crops section of the North Dakota Corn Show as the 13th annual state event drew near to the closing hour Satur- day.

William Lambrecht, Lisbon Walter Wolonski, Parshall, and Sophie Shoults, Minto, were deadlocked in the race for individual winners, each with a sweepstakes prize and a first place in the general crops section. Lambrecht won first in the Dent corn division and the sweepstakes prize in the corn section; Wolonski won first in the Triumph potato divi- sion and the sweepstakes prize in the potato section, and Miss Shoults won first in the flax grain division and the sweepstakes prize in the grains section. Judging Nears Close Judging in the regular divisions of the show was expected to be finished late Saturday afternoon and the complete list of winners will be an- nounced Monday. E. W. Norcross, deputy state seed commissioner, and. P; J. Olson of the State Agricultural college are the judges. Hundreds of people continued to pass through the doors of the World War Memorial building during the final day of the Corn Show at which nearly 800 exhibits from 30 counties were on display. The professional revue, staged in connection with the corn show, play- ed to its second packed house Friday CHARLES W. BRYAN Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 26—()—Charles W. Bryan, thrice governor of Nebraska and brother of the commoner, Wil- liam Jennings Bryan, Saturday faced Possible recall as mayor of Lincoln as the result of petitions on file in the city clerk’s office. The petitions seeking the recall of Bryan and allegedly bearing 5,850 qualified signatures—just four more than the number necessary for a re- call election—were filed here Friday afternoon. City Clerk Theodore Berg, howeevr, declared them insufficient in that they contain only 5,833 names whereas 5,846 are necessary. Bryan said he was not sur- prised at the move, as reports that recall petitions were in circulation have gone around for several months. His friends said persons who have been denied liquor sale licenses by the city council were back of the petitions. FARMERS OF NATION CASTING BALLOTS ON CORN-HOG PROGRAM ministration, and state department of public instruction. The “big five” thus proposed by Cain, would, he said, appoint officials for each of the departments, while employes likewise would be appointed by the board of five from a list of those successfully passing civil ser- vice examinations, contained in a projected civil service act. Would Have Removal Power Power of removal, not only of state departmental executives, but also of state’s attorneys and other peace of- ficers in the state also would be vested in the board, Cain explained. In the board, he also vesting civil service commission pow- ers, but declared the civil service re- quirements would not apply to heads of members of the various educa- tional institutions, faculties or tech- nical employes. Penitentiary sentences would be the penalty for assessment or collec- tion of contributions for political funds, Cain said, under an act to be proposed. Inspection duties of the state regu- latory department would be trans- ferred to the hands of the various county sheriffs, and his deputies, Cain explained. Asks Fewer Lawmakers Another measure under contempla- tion, Cain revealed, would reduce membership in the state house of representatives from 113 to 61, and the number of state senators from 49 to 31, with the state to be re- districted. A constitutional amend- ment would be necessary to affect this move, he said, “These economic in the future,” . have no quarrel with any political faction nor with its purpose. “The proponents of these measures are especially anxious that their pres- entation at this time be not regarded’ as a criticism of Acting Gov. Walter Welford, for whom we have the great- est respect,” Cain pointed out. “These measures are conceived and tion and efficient administration which the state must have if we are to endure and remain solvent.” President Reduces During Fishing Trip evening with last performances sched- uled for Saturday afternoon and eve- ning at 2:30 and 8:30 o'clock, at the city auditorium, Final sessions of the corn school, under the personal supervision of ‘Dean H.

McLean Challengers Loom On the basis of results in the 4-H club crops section—although these placing do not count in the final de- termination—Ransom, Kidder, Walsh, Emmons and Oliver counties loomed as the most serious challengers for the county trophy held for the last two years by McLean county.

D., Oct. 26.—(7}—New advices to northwest farmers to take advantage of the AAA met delegates Agricultural Policy Is Put to Test in Crucial Referen- dum Saturday ‘Washington, Oct. 26—(#)—The New Deal’s most far-flung agricultural control program underwent a ballot- box test Saturday as farmers in 48 states voted in a crucial corn-hog Teferendum. ' The question confronting the pro- ducers as they went to 2,000 polling Places was this: “Do you favor a corn-hog adjust- ment program to follow the 1935 pro- gram which expires November 30, 1935?” The polls, which opened at 8 a. m., local time, will close at 10 p. m., and first results of the balloting are ex- pected here by midnight. While ex- pressing hope that a program would be approved, AAA officials said there was serious doubt about the out- come. They believed the total vote would be larger than the 579,716 farmers who balloted on a similar question in October, 1934. In that referendum, 389,139 voters approved @ program, and 190,577 opposed it. i Debate Grows Hotter The referendum comes at a time when debate is intensifying over the AAA policy of crop control, with its system of benefit payments to farm- ers for adjusting production and acreage. Critics have charged regimentation; have assailed so-called “scarcity” eco- nomics; and have called consumer attention to present high prices of k. Defenders of the AAA have said the control program is a demo- cratic process; that farmers must fit production to demand as long as in- dustry works that way; and that the present hog shortage is due to the drouth.

Hopkins in his drive to create more than 2,- 000,000 work relief jobs in the next few weeks. ‘With the November 1 deadline for liquidating the “dole” moved ahead @ month because of delays in the $4,000,000,000 jobs program, Hopkins has given state Works Progress ad- ministrators widest latitude in se- lecting the projects to be carried out. Their authority will not be as great as under CWA, when local adminis- trators were simply given so much money and told to have a certan number of men at work. But it was disclosed that all WPA money actu- ally released to their states can be used for any project approved by the president and Comptroller General J. R. McCarl. The WPA expects to spend $1,250,- 000,000 and create 2,500,000 jobs, but will get three times that amount of projects approved. State administra- tors are empowered to select from this list projects they believe best fitted to immediate conditions. The rest will remain in @ pool of “reser- voir” projects which may be revived ‘because of changes-in employment. conditions. Officials explained that Hopkins’ order, which became known confusing announcements about the amount of money, and the value of projects approved by McCarl, was de- signed as well to give local adminis- trators full discretion in dealing with municipal and state authorities. If the “dole” is to be abolished be- fore the end of November, as Hopkins’ agency predicts, about 437,850 persons must be put back to work each week between now and that time. According to latest reports, 1,310,733 persons have been given employment. This is 2,189,267 short of the 3,500,000 objective.
