The political calm, which has pervaded the assembly to gn unwonted degree was broken a bit Saturday afternoon when the house of rep-: resentatives saw the first party, or factional, division. More were in prospect. 4 y The session also was to speed up this week. The general belief that the legislature has had less to do in its first days. than at any session for, many years is somewhat belied by: a comparison of the number of bills introduced thus far this | year and two'years ago. More bills had been introduced in the house in the first 16 days this year than two years- ago, ! and in the 1921 session the ‘house recessed from the 16th to 21st davs. Both houses, however have had their .axes: out, and killed many of the bills presented. The administration tax bills were to be put in this week, as the first big party program of the session. The income | ing $75,768.98 represénting the total | + j imi i / amount of taxes due the state over Others will include a tax limitation | ™ RHE cates and 1921, ngainst the Standard Oil! f company of Indiana under the pro- supported by them as a unit in the form on which they agree. ! visions of the North Dakota ine tax law were resisted by the com- tax bill already is in. i bill, and other less important changes in the tax law. The measure probably will be threshed out by Independents and | The industrial program measures probably will not be! put in the legislature this week. Committees and individ-! uals have been working on the measures, and it is probable! that those affecting the present or proposed bond issues will { be presented to the bond attorneys who review the state’s ; issues before they are given to the legislature. This is held necessary in order that no legislation be enactd which would | militate aganist the sale of: bonds. | FIRST PARTY SPLIT.

Will Hold Caucuses. ‘The Independents, who have held but one or two caucuses, also will meet in the future at regular times | to discuss various meastres which are considered a part of the Inde- pendent program—recommend in par- ty platforms, conventions or by can- didates who have committed the ma- pority of Independents. It is prob- able that the tax measures, the in- dustrial enterprise measures and the banking’ measures wil be discussed as basis for party action. The Inde- pendents also.will support a plan to provide non-political state” ballots. Bank Situation Important Aside from the one party division in the house, most of the little flare- ups have been confined to backbiting among members or attempts to squelch certain ones. This has gone to such an extent that some members now want to see it stopped, lest there be division which might cause embarrassment later when s0- lidarity of action is demanded. The report of the guaranty fund commission, now in the jhands of the banking committees, will:be the sub- ject of consideration and hearings this week, probably beginning to- morrow, it is expected. Appointive members of the commission still are: in the city, waiting to. give aty in- formation, recommendations or testi- mony they may be called upon to ive. oe f The submission of the report brought the whole banking situation ‘into focus as one of the big prob- lems of the legislature. It also was accomplished without any division or angry deb fe. The action wasiprompt- ed by friends of. the administration, and the manner in which the com- mission laid the whole banking sit- uation bare has had # sobefing ef- T.

On my way I heard two shots. I did not Pay any attention, I was going away, that night, so I left home and walked down to the restaurant again to wait for the train. I joined Watt Danie}. Richards, W. C, Andrews and others in thg restaurant. I did not hear of any attempt to kill Dr, McKoin until I reached another town next day.” It had been testified that when Watt Daniel,“his father, “Pop” Dav- enport, Richards and Andrews were kidnapped by masked men the even- ing of August 24 near Bastrop the: captors questioning all but Daven- port about the attempt to assassinate Dr. McKoin, J.

Regarding the duties of the offi- cers the attorney general says: “Some sheriffs and police officers have the: idea that their duty begins when they receive a warrant from the court and that it ends with the execution thereof. That is the wrong impression. Their duty begins when they receive knowledge, either from personal, observation or from reli- .able sources that a crime has been, or is being committed and-it ends only when the offender hasbeen ar- rested and convicted.” iJ He quotes from liquor, snuff and gambling laws to show that penalties up to $500 fine and loss of office may follow wilful failure to support the laws. “The task of the law enforcing officers in these days {s no easy one” declares the attorney general. “Sheriffs and other local police of ticers are often embarrassed in cases when the path of duty points in one direction and local sentiment. or pub- obtaining evidence as will arouse re-| in enforcing the law.
