Speaker Johnson had an- nounced that his committee appoint- ments would be announced today and a number of bills members had for introduction were held up un that time, when they will be read the firest time and referred to committecs. These included several by Rep. Paul Johnson, Pembina, who, with former Justice J, E. Robinson, is en- gaged in working out proposals to remedy a score of matters. The bills drawn included one providing three years from date of sale at a rate of interest of 8 per cent per annum; another providing that when land is sold at tax sale the land may be redeemed within legal action on negotiable paper ob- tained’ by fraud or deception the burden of proof is placed on the holder; another providing in. broad terms that any brokerage fee on a land contract sale must be fair, a bill. providing that a contract for payment of money by installments may not ¢ontain’h penal clause to the effect that in case of default any fu- ture payment becomes due immedi- ately, and a bill providinng that the rate of interest on redemption from any future execution or foreclosure shall be 6_per cent. te Provides Bounty Rep. Trubshaw had prepared a bill providing for a two-tenths mill levy to create a state wolf or coyote bounty fund, payments for killed am. mals to be at the/rate of $2.50 each. Rep. Trubshaw said there was now no state fund available for payment of counties. Only routine matters occupied the short session Saturday house in a afternoon. Communications include one from rural carriers of Nelson county asking that the 1918 law with respect to division of motor vehicle funds be re-enacted and one from 2 people near Flasher wsking that the bounty on coyotes be raised and that a bounty on magpies be provided. The hoi ned to adopt a mo- tion of Rep. Jackson, Ramsey, that no more than one commuication of iden- nature be printed in the jour- nal and q motion of Rep. Miller that ull communications be pziated, adopt- ing the rule of the previous session that communications be printed in the deily journaly upon request of a member, if no objection is raised. A report of a joint senate-house committee that 3,000 copies of the journal be printed daily was adopted che journals to go as directed by members, and to schools, officials, farmer s and other specified or- ganizations. A pefmanent employ- ment committee of three was named, Resolutions Referred. Senator Rustads resolution, passed in the senate, calling upon congress to take action to stabilize wheat prices was referred to a select com- mittee, as was Sén, Miklethun’s res- olution asking congress not to per- mit weakening of the Volstead act. The latter resolution in similar form had already passed the house. The resolution of Sen. Kretschmar sup- porting theGreat Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway project also was, referred to committee, With but inconsequential changes the house adopted the rules of the 1921 session. ¢ A resolution\of respect to the memory of the late Representative Christ Ness of Richland county was passed, a copy ordered engrossed and sent to his widow. For Investigation. The senate Saturday also passed the house’s concurrent resolution calling for a joint committee to in- vestigate conditions at the state training school at Mandan, g¢he re- quest for such a committee’ having originally come fr&m the state bud- get boar The senate members of the committee will consist of Sena- tors Kelsch, McCoy, Wenstrom and Ettestad, * The only other. meagure introduc- ed in the senate_this afternoon was a concurrent resolution by Senator J. H. McCoy of Richland county. This provided for the submission to the people of a constitution amendment making the terms of county elective officers four yeays instead of two as at the present itme. The measure was introduced by Senator McCoy at the request of some of his constitu- ents in Richland county. It was re- ferred to the committee on elections Both the senate and house concur- red in the Ries of the joint com- mittee on the journal that 8,009 cop- jes of that document for each house be printed daily for the members, and general distribution, ‘The first sessions of senate com- mittées will be held today, “RINANCE OF MILL AND ELEVATOR BIG PROBLEM Coptinued from Page One) fies ba. Grand. Forks mill could be operated with a working capital as-low as $400,000, but the generally accepted est’mates run from $600,000 to $1,000,000, The laws providing for the build- ing of the mill and elevator provided no method of financing its opera- tions, administration offic‘als’ say. The law says that the mill shall ‘be mortgaged and bonds issued y thereon, to provide funds with which to build ft. The cost of the mill finally will be about $2,600,000.00. Bonds author zed are for $3,000,000. The bond attorneys have said no more bonds could be issued on the mill mortgage, and there is question whether the $400,000 alone the build- ing cost, could be used as capital) The ‘view of the framers of the law was that the Bank of North Da-/} kota should finance the mill. The law provides that any profits shall go to bond interest and sinking funds, and beyond that to bu'ld other mills. There is no provision for a working “it is | impossible for the Bank of North| Dakota in its present state to finance i ' the m‘il- operation. Some Nonpartisans say the solu- tion is to repeal the initiated law permitting counties, cities, school districts to deposit money outs'de the Bank of North Dakota and as- semble all public funds in the bank again This is answered by sa declaration that the withdrawal of public funds comes*at such a time and in such volume that the Bank of North Da- kota could not be depended upon t be in pos'tion to meet the mill’s fi nancial requirements at all times. Also that it is dangerous banking principle to assume one account the financing, of such a big operation as the mill. Further, it is argued; the bank would be crippled tn the wperation of the farm loan department, would | not be in position to loan to state | instiutions when they need and would not be in postion in the future to handle hail or other war- rants. The bank now has $1,333,000 loaned to the farm loan department. Must Keep Up Bank Th’s latter condition cannot be ob- viated, it is said. The South Dakota rural credits law provides that bonds may be issued and farm loans then made. The North Dakota Constitu- tion provdes that bonds can only be issued upon real estate mortgages —the loans must be made, mortga- ges executed and other details re-| quiring time performed before the bonds can be issued, Therefore, the farm loan department, doing a busi- ness of $300,000 to $600,000 a month, has found a revolving fund of $600,- 000 to $1,000,000 necessary. The only agency it can depend of is the bank itself. The bonded debt limit of the state, except upon property mortgages, is $2,000,000, This limit has beenwreach. ed mm the bank capital stock. Another Plan Suggested There is another plan suggested for raising money for working ¢cap- ital for the Grand Forks mill, that | of borrowing money on the personal | property such as flour, etc. This, it is argued, is risky and unsatisfac- tory security, since it is constantly losing its identity. 7 The North Dakota as of Dec. 29, 1922 is | pointed to as showing the impossi- bility of depending upon the bank | to finance the m'll, although the bank did make possible the starting of the mill by providing a credit of $100,000 for mill and elevator oper- ating account. : | The resources of the bank, in-| cluding a deficit af $142,664.61, are | placed at $9,960,914.34.
