THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1936 “TBNKE CHALLENGES O'CONNOR T0 DEBATE PETITION ‘DISGRACE’ ‘Undercover Methods’ of Get- ting Names Off Vote Force Method Assailed Washington, Feb. 27.—(#)—Repre- sentative Lemke (Rep., N. D.), Thurs- day awaited answer to the challenge he tossed at Representative O’Conrior © \(Dem., N. ¥.) for a two-hour floor " (debate on the “undercover method” of removing names from a petition to force a house vote on the Frazier- f, (Lemke refinance bill. | Replying to a letter O’Conner wrote jhim. Tuesday’asserting the house ag- riculture committee last May 15 turned down an opportunity to bring the bill to a vote, Lemke extended the debate invitation “jn a spirit of true sportsmanship.” The petition requiring 218 names to bring the bill to a vote, has 207 signatures. The measure would re- finance farm mortgages with $3,000,- 000 of new currency. Termed National Disgrace “The undercover method of getting names off petition No. 7,” Lemke charged, “has become a national dis- _ ygrace.” He accused O'Connor of ‘dodging issues” and said the issue could not be solved by an exchange ot letters. “I invite you,” Lemke’s challenge read, “to get two hours time, to be divfded equally between you and my- self, to debate this question on the floor of the house. If the speaker refuses to give you the time, then may I suggest that you bring out a tule.” ‘ Names Debate Sites Lemke also invited the rules com- mittee chairman to debate in Wash- ington, New York, Chicago, Minne- apolis, Kansas City or Los Angeles “so that the whole ugly truth may get to the public.” “You state that this bill could have been brought up and passed on calen- dar Wednesday, May 15, 1935,” the} letter said. “You know and I know that fo controversial public measure! of importance is ever brought up for discussion and passage on calendar Wednesday.” Lemke declared whether or not the invitation to debate is accepted, “the denial of representative government here in congress will be carried by me iuto every agricultural state between now and next November, unless those who have been strangling the bill re- cede from their unwarranted posi- * tion.” Texas Hit by. Wave of Epidemic Diseases Dallas, Tex., Feb. 27.—(#)—Hun- dreds of Texas students and their teachers were under the care of phy- sicians Thursday as a wave of sick- ness spread over the state.

Northwestern Bell Telephone Company TALMADGE WONDERS: WHAT HE WILL USE FOR MONEY IN STATE Georgia's Cash Tied Up Until Court Action Determines Dictatorship Legality Atlanta, Ga. Feb. 27.—(#)—The perplexing problem of .what to use for money to run the state of Georgia confronted Gov. Eugene Talmadge Thursday with apparently slim pros- pects of an immediate solution. Most of the state's cash and incom- ing revenue was tied up in one wav or another presumably until there is & court ruling on the legality of the governor's “dictatorship,” and none of the courts has been asked as yet to rule. And while Attorney Genera] M. J. Yeomans suggested the advisability of an extra session of the. legislature to appropriate state funds—the cause underlying the present impasse—the governor responded with the declara- tion that “thre ain’t gonna be no extra session.” Banks declined to cash state checks until there is a ruling on the status of the de facto officers with whom Talmadge replaced State Treasurer George B.-Hamilton and Comptroller General William B. Harrison when they declined to “go along” with his program. And the inner money vault in the state treasurer's office, which Hamil- ton locked when he was put out Mon- day, was still closed. With acetylene torches, locksmiths cut through the steel plates of the outer doors to get at records Wed- nesfay but the inner receptacle was untouched. Whether it contained any cash only Hamilton knew, and he didn’t say. Blames New Deal Governor Talmadge said the pres- ent situation in Georgia “was delib- erately brought. about by the New Deal to stop Talmadge from cam- Paigning against Roosevelt in the | United States.” “They have gone to the length of backing up a suspended treasurer,” Talmadge said, “in taking over twen- ty million dollars worth of bonds out of the vaults of the state. “They have gone to the length of having the United States mail take letters containing checks away from the legal comptroller general and the legal siate treasurer of Georgia. Cites Reserve Board “The pressure and recent appoint- ment of a member of the federal re- serve board from Atlanta is behind the whole works.” (Ronald Ransom, formerly vice president of the Fulton National Bank of Atlanta, was ap- pointed to the federal reserve board recently by President Roosevelt.) “Watch and get the names of the citizens of Georgia over whom they are cracking the whips, “Watch and get the names of the Papers, whose big editors are on the; payrolfof the New Deal. “This invasion of state's rights can hold. me ins« Deal is going to be defeated year.” SERIES OF § SEED MEETINGS SLATED Governor Welford to Talk Over KFYR on Lightweight Seed Situation Friday this A. series of five lightweight seed meetings have been scheduled in Bur- lejgh county ‘by Henry O. Putnam, ex- tension agent. Putnam is slated to take charge of the first meeting at Moffit Friday during which the lightweight seed wheat situation will be discussed along with other--phases of the extension work, The second meeting will be held a: 1 p. m,, at the World War Memorial building here Saturday; the third at the Sterling schoolhouse at 10 a. m., Monday; the tourth at the Driscoll town hall at 10 a. m., Thursday. Mar. 5; the fifth at the Wilton theater at l*p. m., Friday, Mar. 6. Gov. Walter Welford will be inter- viewed by Earl Hodgson, KFYR's farm news reporter, at 2.05 p. m., Fri- day over KFYR. At that time the state's chief executive will make rec- ommendations to North Dakota farm. ers on the best methods of lessening the risk involved in the use of the lightweight seed. Yirst samples of Burleigh county lightweight seed, which have been given germination tests, show a wide variation in the percentage of germ- ination, Putnam said. Twenty samples from eight farm- ers in the county, 15 of which were wheat samples, showed gremination from 68 to 99 per cent, Putnam stated. Barley samples ran especially low in jthe tests, he pointed out. ; Because of this wide variance, Put- jnam said it was imperative that alt farmers get their seed tested before planting this spring, in order that only the best available seed will be jused.

M. | The strike came within one day of the first anniversary of the 1935 walkout which paralyzed the section for almost a day. Clay said the El Paso Electric com- pany “has failed to live up to their agreement reached at the termina-| tion of the other strike.” He said this violation was discharg- ing workers for union activities. There were no reports of violence. Boilers Drained M. C. Smith, president of the com- pany, said efforts to renew service} were balked by the fact that steam! engine boilers have.been drained and | small parts of the generating machin- ery had been removed or destroyed.

All livestock commodities except wool, the department reported, sold higher in 1935 than in the preceding year. Meat animals were up 68 per cent; chickens and eggs up 35 per cent; work animals up 15 per cent and dairy products up 13 per cent. Wool prices were down 11 per cent. Outstanding gains were in the prices of hogs, the average farm price being $8.36 per 100 pounds live weight, compared with $4.14 in 1934. The department attributed this ad- vance chiefly to “abnormally lowmar- ket supplies of hogs.” JAPANESE UPHEAVAL ‘AUTHORITIES STRIFE i Miitary Resented Opposition of Bankers to Increasing Fighting Forces New York, Feb. 27.—(#)—The an- cient law of feudalism, together with the long smouldering antagonism be- tween the military and civil forces in Japan, were seen Thursday as the basic cause of the latest Tokyo po- litical upheaval. Every Japanese youth, from the time he enters the public school, wears an army-like cap and a uniform con- Structed along foreign lines. Boys drill from the time they are able to walk, Ever ‘since Admiral Perry wedged into the ports of Nippon, and the Jap- anese were given a constitution and @ modern parliament by the emperor, the gulf between civil and military of- ficials has widened. Political parties have risen and been overthrown by the help of the army and navy. As- sassinations of premiers and other high dignitaries have been frequent. Elections have often been accompan- ied by much bloodshed. Opposition by bankers and prom- inent Japanese industrialists to an expansion of the nrlitary program at this time, because of the serious strain on the nation’s finances, was believed jto have brought to a head the pent- up ill-feeling between the army and }the government. Foreigners who know the Japanese emphasize the thought that the army coup d’etat was not directed against the emperor or the imperial family who are still looked upon by the people of Nippon as descendants of the Sun God and whose lives and Property are sacred. It was noted that one of the rea- sons given for the latest assassina- tions and overthrow of the govern- ment was the desire to remove “evil \influences from around the throne.” |News Leaks Continue Despite Firing of Two Washington, Feb. 27.—()—News leaks in the bureau of navigation and steamboat inspection continued | Thursday despite Secretary Roper’s dismissal of two men involved in a previous “unauthorized” report on sea accidents.
