May More Bills 1 Both senate and ‘house again ~e- ceived many important, bills, under the rule permitting them to be in- troduced until the end of the 35th legislative day, which was at two o'clock this afternoon. Tha administration bill for finan-| cing the mill and elevator at Grand Forks by providing for issuance of bonds on the grain and flour there was introduced, The measure pro- vides that receipts from sale cf flour shall go back to the bond sink- ing fund to meet the payments when due, American legion representatyyes were expected to introduce a Bill declaring a present value on certi- ficates held by service meré for the soldiers’ bonus, and providing that ii figuring the present @alue the Adjutant-General should deduct 6 percent from the date o# declara- tion of present ‘Value to the time of expected payment. Under this plan, “it was believed, bond houses would take up the soldier bonus cer- tificates. The question of whether the certificates would be'sold would be left optional,’ The matter has been worked over and if the plan. can be made workable the Legion represen- tatives will work for the bill. A supplemental election bill, pro- viding for party elections of can- didates for federal office, was to be presented today. It, with \the non- party state election’ bill pendigg in the senate, comprises the Independ- ents’ election laws program., Under the program, in general, parties would be abolished as to state of- fice candidates but retained as to congressmen and senators, and pre- sidential electors and delegates to national conventions. Rep. Jardine, Cass céunty, intro- duced by request a bill permitting parents to withdraw children from school two hours per week, the last hours of the day or days, to permit them to get ' religious instruction. | They would be given credit on} school work. 5 ASK BiG SUM ~-FOR BRIDGES _ Proposed to Put Five Bridges ‘Across Missouri Pierre, S. D. Feb. 6.—The bill, for bonding the state for $1,400,000 to add to the special tax already col- lected and amounting to more than $400,000 for erection of five- vehicle bridges over the Missouri river will be considered in the legislature this \ week. \ The bill will give the legislature power to bond the state for the “amount without submitting the pro- position to the peoplé of the state, but present ‘sentiment indicates the, house will turn down the bill. SURPLUS OF BONDING FUN _ REACHES $139,609 .. The. bonding fund- ‘has ‘earned $139,609 during the five period be-| ginning Dec, 31, 1917 and ending last Dec, 31, according to a report recently /manager. sued by Harold Hopten The bonding fund was created for the purpose of bonding’ pyblic of- . ficials. The first legislation author- izing it was passed in 1913, was found unconstitutional and’. anothe; similar law passed in 1916. Until . November 1917 the fund still failed to function, however, because a fight against its constitutionality was continued until then.

Pointing out that North Dakota/ cannot afford. to have a loosely gov- erned highway administration, Mr. Kaulfuss said that the state of Ar- kansas has been denied further aid from the federal government in road building, pending the passnge of certain legislation and ‘he meeting of other requirements as specified by the federal aid road acts, The U. S. Secretary of Agri-| culture, he says, has formally re- commended to the Governor of Ar- kansas that the state highway de- nartment be provided with suffi-| cient funds to maintain its own en-| gineéring forces, that the state trea-| surer be designated as the receiver} of federal aid paid to the state, and | that satisfactory maintenance of | federal aid projects be provided.
