The bill had passed the senate, 40 to 6. It is well understood that Gover- nor R. A, Nestos favors the bill,) and is expected to get it for signa- ture within two or three days. The bill carries an emergency clause which will make it a law upon sig- nature by the chief executive. The bill provides that “any person or’ persons over the age of 15 years’ who appears outside of any building in the state of North Dakota wear- ing a mask, regalia, or other head-| covering $0 worn as to conceal the features and prevent recognition of said persons or persons, is guilty of a misdemeanor.” The penalty for violation is a fine of $25 to $100, 10 to 30 davs in jail, or both. Of the 18 house members who voted against the passage of the bill 16, were Nonpartisans and two Independents. The league members who voted “no” were Anderson of Divide, Anderson of Sargent, Brats- berg, Cart, Mrs. Craig, Fedge, Haughland, Hempef, Jones, Levin, Oberg, Quam, Shurr, Swett, and Vo- gel. The Independents opposing the measure were Reps, Cole of Sargent, and Root of Dickey. Three members of the house were absent. Rep. Dell Patterson of Renville! ainst the bill from} county spoke the floor of tl house but voted “aye” on ties roll call. “Ra Klux ” “Dad” Walker bf Mercer, Non- partisan opened the debate on the measure following its third reading this afternoon. “I believe this is a time when every real man must stand up and| be counted,” he said, “I intend to vote for Senate Bill 14; I realize that tion for I know that the Ku Klux Klan, is apt to thrive on legislation! directed against it. “However the bill is before us,; i intend ‘to take this oppor.| be more pleasant in his cozy hole and :I tunity to register my protest against cowardly methods -of attack, and be- cause I believe the Ku Klux Klan to be unsocial, unmoral, unChristian, and unAmerican. Dell Patterson of Renville imme- diately took the floor against the bill. “If this bill passes it will let down ‘the bars to attacks on many innocent people,” he said, Under this) bill if a farmer covers his face with! a shawl in cold weather -he might be arrested, and there aré people ee are just small enough to arrest him. Rep. Patterson declared that the; occasion for the Klan in the south and élsewhere was in his opinion| the failure of officials to enforce the lgw. : Rep. Cart also'took up the cudgels against the bill which he declared. was an attempt to stir up religious strife and thus take the minds of the people off their more serious economic wrong: Retuegs to Bow It remained ‘for Rep. Sathre of of Griggs ¢oqunty, to sum up the case for the,passage of the measure. “I believe it’ is time for every Ameriean to show where he stands,” he declared in ringing tones. “I for one refuse to bow the knee to the Invisible Empire. I am for this bill.” The roll was called and it imme- diately became apparent that there was a landslide in favor of the mea- sure, Several members state their it cannot prevent crime. 1) question the wisdom of its introduc-| | will accompany it, Maj.

But it’s going to be cold tonigh* and tomorrow. There’s no doubt about that, the weather bureau says. A cold wave is bearing down from Montana and Canada, and it will push the mercury down to 20 or 25 below tonight, it is’ predicted. But the question of whether or not there’s to be six weeks more weather rests with the groundhog, And .whether.the groundhog ventur- ed out of his hole today is a matter of conjecture. No one has volunteer- ed to hunt him out. He didn’t see his shadow this morning, and that was cheering news to, those who don’t want six weeks more of cold: weather. But even early today the weather bureau said the sun would be out in the afternoon and he would see his shadow, And it was out at 1 p. m. The question remains, however, as to whether the groundhog’s intellect was sufficient to warn him that it was bound to than out amid the swirling snow. Those who believe implicitly in the groundhog’s prognostication, were sure he had enough intelligence to merely stick his nose @utside and then retire, and in that event he wouldn’t see his shadow. Those on the other side of the controversy held that anyone who would at- tempt to tell what the weather in North Dakota was going to be for any six weeks would be foolish enough to get out in the worst bliz- zard. Be that as it may, the citizens who struggled to work this morn- ing, with a wind of 36 miles veloci- ty whipping snow eddies across their faces were willing to believe what- ever the weather bureau might say about the next forty-eight hours. And the weather bureau says a real cold wave is coming. Already it is 20 below up in Alberta and Saskat- chewan. It will be 20 below—maybe 25—tonight or tomorrow. No snow Bismarck folk will have company though. The>weather bureau report today’ showed it) was 20 below in Calgary, 20 below in Edmonton, 12 below in Havre, Montana; 6 below in Lander, Wyomii 4 below in Fargo; 6 below in eridan, Wyo- ming and 6 below in Winnipeg. It was six above here at 7 a, m. It was 5 below at noon. And every hour in every way it was getting colder and colder. -- roasone for favoring or opposing the bill, and asked that their re- house marks be recorded in the journal.

Broad powers are given and defi- nite duties are laid down for this board in managing the mill and ele- vator business of the state of North Dakota. The bill is in conformity \with the general proposal of Inde- pendents that the management of the mill and clevator be taken out of politics. The bill further provides that the flour milling business of the state shall be limited to the 3,000-barrel project at Grand Forks, proposing the sale of the 300-barrel Drake mill which has sustained heavy losses.* The bil¥is proposed as an emer- gency measure, to permit early ap- pointment by the governor of the board to manage the state mill. The board would be composed of five rimbers and an auditor of the mill and secretary of the board would be provided. The act re-establishes the and elevator association act of 1919 stat- ing the state shall engage in the milling busines and says that “for that purpose shall operate and con- duct the system of state-owned ele- vators and flour mills now establish- ed and heretofore created by law, under the name of the North Dakota Mill and Elevator association/” Five Members on Board. “There is hereby created a board to.be known as the board of mana- gers for the North Dakota Mill and Elevator association,” the bill reads: “The board shall be composed of five members.

Divide On Income Tax. Outside of this action in connec- tion with the highway commission the chief events of the afternoon ses- sion of the senate were the presenta- tion of a divided report on Senats Bill 21 the income tax measure, and the irtnoduction of the bill changing the state guaranty fund commission law by; Senator Walter Bond, and the other majority members of the senate committee on banks and ban! ing. In their final form as presented of the committee on taxes and tax laws recommended the income tax law for passage. The majority re- port, however, recommends it for passage’ practically as originally drawn with the exception of a few minor amendments. The minority re- port contains two more amendments, one calling for greater publicity on income ‘tax assessements, and the comes above $10,000 per year. The division~of the committee is slong strictly party lines. The majority, rupo~t was accepted both minority and majority reports; ychouse machinery, $271,306.34; x. reflects no accrued interest. by the senate but it was agreed that the minority amendments should also be printed in the senate journal and the question will be fought out on the senate floor when the: bill com up for final passage. . Kit License Bill. The senate killed Senator Whit- man’s bill for the licensing of chir- opodists. The chief reason for this action was a,provision of the bill which would allow such chiropodists to administer local anaestheics and narcotics, and it was feared that thi provision would increase the spread of the drug habit. 4 An amendment offered by Senator Ward of Emmons that all residents of North Dakota be required to wash their feet. at least once a week in| order to’ prevent foot.trouble was ‘The report of the majotity of the committee. on elections on Senate Bill II which would close polling Ks | the way-for an act of mercy for a \ of —— | Actual costs up to the end of 1922 of the Grand Forks Mill and| Elevator project amounted to $2,-. 493,797.18, according to the report on that project filed in the of: of the secretary of state by Lewis Crawford, secretary of the indus- tria) commission. The largest cost listed—$1,119,- 725.27—is for mill, elevator, stor- age tanks, and storage warehouse buildings. For flour mill machinery $407,143.72 was spent; and power these bales some of the largest items of cost. ‘The power house, filter plant, ma- chine shop service building and dust house came to $218,004.55 while ele- vator equipment cost $172,752. Mr. Crawford makes the following comment: “Work on the Grand Forks mill and elevator was resum- ed in the spring of 1922, after u W5-month period of idleness. The work was rushed as fast as it could be done economically, The machin- ery, for the most part, had already been ordered and much of it fab- ticated and held in storage awaiting orders for shipment. The elevator and one unit of the mill were open- ed for business in the latter part of October and have been in operation since that time, barring short peri- ods when the machinery was shut dgwn to permit necessary changes and adjustments to be made, “The second unit will be complet- ed in January and the third by February 1, according to the esti- mates at hand. Steps have been taken to close the building contract and make settlement with the con- tractors, the architect and the en- gineers.
