levying bodies to levy a tax of more

valuation. Levies provided in the
statutes prior to 1921 are on the

Recall Election
Against Dakota
Officers Ordered!
Action an Anli-Nonpartisan '
Faction Aimed at Governor,
Attorney General and Com
missions of Agriculture.
Devils Lake, N. D March 31.
Political factions opposed to the
Nonpartisan league in North Dakota,
in convention here - today, ordered
that a recall election aimed at cer
tain state officials be held on or be
fore November 8. The recall elec
tion as ordered is directed against
Governor Lynn J. Krazier, Attorney
General William Lemke and Com
missioner of Agriculture John N.
1 lagan.
The action of the convention came
after an all-afternoon debate on
a resolution brought up by Tread
well Twitchcll, proposing the at
tempted repeal of the three officials
named.
This is the iir.-a time in the his-
tory oi the United States that a
recall election has been ordered
against a governor or other high
state officials, delegates asserted.
"The brain-child of the socialistic
regime the recall having been
j placed on the statute books of North
: Dakota by the Nonpartisans, has
j grown up in four years and threatens
! to destroy its parent," T. G. Nelson.
secretary of the Independent Voters
association, said.

Kill Industrial Court.
The Epperson industrial court
commi: ion bill provided for a com
mission of three to fix wages when
disputes could not be settled between
capital and labor and nude a con
spiracy of two or more persons to
quit work in necessary industries un
lawful. It also gave the commission
power to fix prices on certain arti
cles when profiteering was proved
i and made it unlawful for capital to
j combine to curtail production of es
! sentials to increase the price.
I "I know I am bumping up against
I a stone wall in asking the house to
pass this bill," Representative Ep
person said.
"The labor unions are against it,
capital is against it, certain other in
terests are against it. No one ex
cepting the vast majority comprising
the public wants it and the public
isn't represented in the powerful lob
by of capital and labor and party
politicians who are fighting it.'
Lauds Governor Allen.
' Epperson lauded Governor Allen
of Kansas for the large amount of
internal paraphernalia displayed by
him when he pushed the industrial
court bill through the Kansas legis
lature at a special session t year ago.
Epperson also pleaded for the court
as the only tribunal which represent
ed the majority, the public, and de
clared the present arbitration system
unfair, in which the public some
times is given an equal representa
tion and at other times even less rep
resentation than labor and capital.
"And yet the public is most vitally
concerned and represents an overwhelming-
majority," Epperson said.
Representative Foster endeavored
unsuccessfully to put an amendment
in the bill which would strike out
all allusion to settlement of labor
disputes and have the commission
deal only with rent and foodstuffs
profiteering.
No one excepting "Alfalfa John"
seemed to want to argue.
"Why not have , a king in this
country?" he asked.
The real fate of the bill was sealed
