Owing to the adjournment of the house for three ' days, Wednesday, January 31, the bill last ~ did not get through the house week. The law provides that no party name shall be used in the filing of petitions for nomination for any elective state or county office, or any reference to the party affiliations of such candidates; that at all primary elections at which candidates for the legislature or any elective state or county office are nominated, the names of these candi- dates shall appear only upon ballots marked “nonpartisan ballot,” and only the number of candidates to be chosen for each office shall be given. The two candidates receiving the highest num- ber of votes in the primary election shall be placed on the ballot at the gen- eral election without party designation, if only one is to be elected; and in case more than one is to be elected, the Regents Bill 1s Defeated Senate Slaps Farmers in Face Again by Voting Down House Measure to- Abolish Present Regents Bismarck, Feb. 3.—House Bill 65, by Hagan, abolishing the present board of regents and establishing a new board, which passed the house by a vote of 70 to 17, was defeated in the senate February 1 by a vote of 26 to 17, with six absent and not voting. The defeat of this bill leaves but one method open for solving the board of regents proh- lem—that heretofore indicated by Gov- ernor Frazier. They may be ousted from office which they illegally hold, and the places filled according to law; with appointees of Governor Frazier. This measure -would have eliminated the expense of the commissioner of education, at $5000 for salary and $1000 for expenses, and would have brought about unity of administration in the state education, by leaving the state superintendent of public instruction, as the head of the system for the state. This was strictly a Nonpartisan League bill, and was in line with the purpose of putting the Agricultural college in the hands of a board that would be in- terested in building it up, and doing away with the turmoil that has existed there ever since the present board be- gan its ‘“‘investigations,” which result- ed in ejecting Dr. Worst from the presidency. An account of the bill and the ma- Jjority by which it passed the house a few days before, will be found on page 19 of-this jssue. Here is the rollcall that killed House Bill 65, this vote be- ing on the adoption of the minority re- port recommending that the bill .pass: For the Bill: = Benson McCarten ey Cahill Martin Drown Morkrid Ettestad Mostad Hamerly Pendray Hamilton Sikes 2 Hemmingsen ‘Welford Hunt ‘Wenstrom Levang Against the Bill: Allen McLean Beck Murphy Carey Nelson of G.

Rowe Heckle Stenmo Hyland Young = Jacobson Lindstrom McBride Thoreson McGray Farmers’ Creameries Hit Commissioner of Agriculture Finds Big Central- 1zers Ra\ise Prices to Put “Co-ops” Out of Business Unfair discrimination against North Dakota creameries by the big cen- tralizer§ in the Twin Cities has been discovered by Commissioner of Agri- culture and Labor John N. Hagan and the new dairy commissioner, J. J. Osterhaus. They held a meeting at Hannaford last week. It was found that these outside concerns are paying three to four cents per pound more for butterfat there than the market price of butter in the Twin Cities, while at towns within a few miles of Hanna- ford, where there is no co-operative creamery, the price is several cents lower than here, where the farmers are struggling to build up a local in- . dustry. This is one of the reasons, Mr. Hagan says, why the creameries of North Da- kota are paralyzed, and why so many well equipped .little plants in centers where there is plenty of cream are. standing closed today. Both the new officials urged the farmers to stand by the local association, and urged the business men in the audience to sup- port it by'bqying its product, and no other. It was found that the creamery is getting only about half, or possibly less than half, the cream produced in a ° region easily accessible to the farmers, while the cream stations of the outside centralizers are paying more than the cream is worth for the purpose of put- ting the farmers’ company out of busi- ness. Another difficulty in making these co-operative creameries a success, Mr. . Hagan said, is that they are frequent- ly under the joint management of the local business men and farmers, who haye been unable to co-operate in a whole-hearted manner. He suggested to business men that they donate the finnancial interest they mow have in the creamery, and withdraw, leaving it wholly- with the farmers, and this plan is now being worked out by the - farmers and business men, and another meeting is to held in a few days to perfect a new organization. HAGAN IS PRAISED a list of still more which he is to visit as soon as possible. Mr. Osterhaus was secured by the department particularly because of his acquaintance with dairy marketing problems and he is planning to put the unsucecessful associations on their feet, and build up the butter in- dustry of North Dakota. The appreciation being felt by labor- ing interests of Mr. Hagan's announc- ed intention of making this branch, of his department important and active, is contained in a clipping from the “Advocate,” a trades and labor paper of Fargo, which says: “Mr. Hagan is an able and far-seeing man and his talk had a great deal of . good. sound sense in it. For the first time in the history of the state the workers feel that they have a friend in this office. ; “Previous to Mr. Hagan’s incumben- cy most of the activities of the of- fice were directed to securing settlers for the state and in aiding the large land companies to colonize the thinly settled sections. This in itself was meritorious, but there was nothing:do- ing for the toilers. “Now this will all be changed and the laboring man will ‘receive his share of. --attention from this really important office.” ABOUT HOG SLOPPERS i Edgeley, N. D. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I have been a silent reader of the " Leader for a long time, but-upon see- ing the editorial from that St. Paul paper thought I would write. It gives one food for thought. “The Hayseed in Politics!” Now it might be real interesting to the society butterflies and plutacrats in dress suits to trace themselves back a few generations 'and -find. that their an- cestors were genuine “hog. sloppers.” The butterflies” would be shocked to learn that perhaps their'fq.thers were — actual owners of hogs. Here's wishing the ILeader lots of FOR LABOR BUREAU success. I am yours truly, Mr. Osterhaus has attended one other - A NORTH DAKOTA creamery meeting at Garrison and has HOG SLOPPER. TWENTY-TWO ° i -Shorthorn, number placed on the general election Ltallot shall not exceed twice the num- ber to be elected. The manner of printing, distributing and making returns is not changed: Such a bill, if it is not blocked by the anti-League members of the senate, will enable the voters at the next elec- tion to choose their candidates entirely upon their merits, .and without ‘the brejudices and pressure -that is now brought to bear for "the election of members of a certain party. Minne- sota has such a law now in effect in the case of nomination and election of members of the legislature, His Hogs Won Kenneth Wood of Arvilla, N. D., who won first in the fourth annual pork production contest (1916) with a litter of 12 pigs that at 208 days weighed~ 2673 pounds. FOR NEW CONSTITUTION Sherwood, N. Dak. Jan. 18, 1917, Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I noticed in your January 11 number -an account about farmers writing to their senators and representatives about haying the League program enacted this year. I am in favor of a . state constition making this possible, 80 the League program can be enacted into laws this year. I do not quite un- derstand just who to address my letter so ask the Leader to kindly forward to right place. ‘With success te your work, T remain, 3 FRANK ROSSOW.
