Nestos as state engineer was confirmed, late yester- day by the e senate, will as- sume the duties of that office on April 1, when the term of W. H.

S. reserves. One of the most notable pieces of work in which he has, had a hand in North Dakota the sounding of the Missouri river, making borings in the shifting quicksand bed of the Missouri river and the preliminary survey for the $3,000,000 engineer- ing structure completed last fall. His experience in engineering has been comprehensive including rail- road surveys, coal mine ‘surveys, highway construction and muncipal engineering. During the last year or two he has been in close touch with the state engineering department and is thoroughly familiar with the needs of that department, says Gov. Nestos. AVERTS LAST NIGHT’S RUSH THIS SESSION (Continked from page 1) and women algo were eliminated. Shift in Tax Burden. The tax program perhaps creatés t ater shift than any other group sed. Included in this $ neome tax bill, which is es- timated to provide means of raising $1,200,000 to $1,500,000 a year, tae hill providing valurtion of property shall be on a 75 pe: cent instead of a 100 per cent basis, removing of all Pp ont exemptions except on farm improven ts and the usual churea haritable exemptions; placing tax at 1 cent a gallon instead upon tae taxing power of political ons and repeal of the pres- entlimitation law, and ther might be included in this program provision for placing counties on the budget system. The het result of the iacome tax is expected to shift tae burden of taxation from the farms. The ex- emption caange removes the present 50 per cent exemption on city prop- erty, any wil] have the effect of rai ing taxe on city residence property. The distinction between ‘homes occu- pied by the owner and rental prop- erty is removed. Laws affecting the entire banking structure of the state were enacted by the legislature. Taese included a, bill permitting bankg to consoli- dhte, and which the propynent pre- dicted might result in 50 bank con- solidations in two years; a_ bill greatly enlarging the powers of the guaranty fund commission over state banks, including power to re- quire banks to be strengthened and proaibiting deposits on whica morg than 4 per cent interest is paid, ex- cept by consent of the commission, from being guaranteed under the system; it being stated no change wil be made in present regulation a bill designed to centralize liquida- tion of closed banks in a supreme court commissioner the examiner to omer stockholders’ assessments of banks equal to 100 per cent of the stock “eld for three years to strengtaen » bank. There also was enucted a new de~ positary law, under which officials cannot place deposits in one bank equal to more than 50 per cent of the bank’s capita] and surplus; pro- viding the rate of interest shall be not less taan 2 nor more than 3 per cent on call deposits and not less than 4 nor more than 6 per cent on time deposits; making provision for requiring bonds and placing super- vision of deposits in the board of auditors and county commissioners. drawing $5,500 annual salary; and a bil’ permitting | Home Builders Wound Up.

Sale of the Drake flour mill is di- rected in this bill. Changes made regatding the Bank of North Dakota were meager, ex cept that the limit of rural credits bonds was increased $25,000,000 be- yond the bonds outstanding Maren 15. association was provided, with a method of settling with pur- chasers of homes The $2,000,900 bond issue aughoriz: tion act also was repealed. This winds up this ill-fated state indu: trial enterprise. The experimental creamery tax was repealed and ti Werner creamery liquidated. Highways Action Disappointment.

Senate bill No. 335, consolidating t ad- | ministration of all regulatory work in one head and department, was passed; and the house completed re- peal of the 1921 law limiting taxe $0 one-third of the tax levies for the | preceding taree years. | Conference committee actions, and {actions on house bills amended in | the senate, included final fixing of the magpie bounty at 15 cents for leach one killed! concurrence in the report on senate bill No. 21, the in- come tax bill, but with an amend- appropriations, the effort being suc- cessful in part. The action of the legislature probably means tae roads program will be taken to the people. It may mean, although it is hoped to avert it, loss road building. : Appropriations are not totalled. It is certain, however, that on tae whole they will be larger taan those of the 1921 session, particularly as to educational institutions. The chief reason given is that the attend- ance increased so greatly that ap- propriations necessarily increased State departments also were in: creased. Among the measures defeated at the ion was a proposal to bond the state for $7,500,000 to pay de- positors of closed banks, a proposal to authorize issuance of bonds to build dormitories at state education al institutions and a resolution for a constitutional amendment fixing terms of state and county officers at four years. FARGO BRIDGE MEASURE DIES (Continued from page 1) to capitol in a taxicab in time to cast his Vote for the measure. As a result it passed. Immediately Senator Kretsehmar arose and moved the vote by which the Fargo and Des Lacs bridge ‘pro- jects had been killed should be re- considered. The motion carried and the two bills were brought back from the house. Fargo Bridge Killed The Fargo appropriation was the first to be taken up, and Senator Whitman of Grand Forks arose and moved that the bill be amended so to appropriate $100,000 for a bridge over the Red river at the state mill and elevator north of Grand Forks also. The amendment was voted down, and on the follow- ing roll call the original bill killed for the second time. The appropriation of $35,000 for a bridge over the Des Laes lake pass- ed, however. The warmest argument of the ses- sion arose over the question of whe- ther or not the senate should con- tur in the house amendments to Senate Bill 20, which amendments have the effect of reducing the flat hail tax, from three cents to ene cent per’ acre. The Nonpartisan league senators opposed the amendments strongly, and finally Senator Ingerson of Burke county moved to again amend the bill so as to place the flat tax at the rate of two cents per acre. This was voted down however and the bill as amended by the house finally passed by tht senate on a strictly party vote. Fix Immigration Appropriation After a brief debate the senate voted to concur in the house amend- ments to Senate Bill 197 which re- sulted in the appropriation for the state immigration department being fixed at eighteen thousand dollars for the coming two year period, The appropraition of ten thousand dollars for the farm institute work carried on under the direction of the depaftment of agriculture and labor was also’ passed, as was also the appropriations for several of the small state educational institutions. . House Night Session. The house at its session last night completed passage of all senate bills at 11:02 p. m., but continued to con- 1Ot “GASCARETS” FOR BOWELS - When Sick, Bilious, Headachy, Constipated, for Your bowels may seem regular— move every day—yet your thirty feet of bowels may be lined with poison- ous waste which is being sucked in- to your blood; keeping you half fis nervous, ‘despendent and uj Whether you hav headache, ¢olds, sour ‘stomach, indigestion, or heart palpitation, it is usually from béwel poison, / : Sour Stomach, Gases, Bad Breath, Colds Hurry!

Conference committee action also resulted in adding $16,000 to tae ap- propriation of the Wahpeton School of Science for additional instructors in new trades; $12,000 additional for the feeble-minded institute at Grafton, and the insertion of a new amendment in senate bill No. 176 which was fought for by Christian Scientists. The bill ~ provides for treatment of deformed or crippled children at public expense, & child welfare measure, The amendment agreed on reads: “Provided, that nothing in this act saall be construed to compel any special treatment for any child contrary to the wisnes of the parent, guardian or agent.’ The house concurred, 102 to 0, in amendments to house bill No. 305, inreasing tne. limit of farm loan bonds which may be issued by $25,- 000 from the amount outstanding March 5. The bill carried an emer- gency clause. The house also concurred in sen- ate amendments to house pill No 312, the reapportionment Dill, the amendments being slight. An effort by the senate to recall the Kopp bill, providing relatives of disabled persons may enter a poll- ing booth with them, was turned down by the house. Separation Fron The National Organization {Continued from Page One)” the league campaign as a candidate for Governor, and that such effort was planned to shelve any objection from Lemke looking to this end. John H.

Twichell’s posi- tion was sustained by the members. During the Thursday afternoon session many conference committee reports were accepted in the ‘ouse. There was a brisk fight ovey senate amendments to house bill No, 118, appropriating money to pay expenses of the house investigation into the conduct. of state industries of two years ago, in whicn the senate amendments reducing the total amount from $14,508.61 to $10,953.60 were accepted, by a vote of 62 to 49, with two absent, and Rep. Twichell protesting that the bills were incur- red legitimately by the house ,and that tae senate had no right to in- terfere. The cuts made by the sen- ate were: Fees of Francis Murpay of Minot, and John F. Sullivan of Mandan, lawyers, from $4,000 to $2,- 500 each; H. M. Temple, St. Paul, accountant from $1,700 to ‘$1,200; E. By McCutheon, Minot, investiga- tor, from $1,232.76 to $1,000.
