BILLS OF MOST IMPORTANCE Assembly Fails to Dispose of Appropriation Bills in 20 Days, as Asked by Governor, But Continues to Carry Out Economy Demand by Slashing Appropriations Freely— Ingerson Banking Bills Center of Big Fight in the State Senate : * The 19th legislative assembly began its 21st day today with the heaviest calendar of the session before it. The most important issue of the session, as it appears today, will be banking legislation. Bills providing for changes in ex- isting tax laws and with respect to the state industries, thus far have failed to command the general interest that was e pected, although these programs may develop within an- other week. The banking measures before the legislature, many of which may be disposed of this week, however, ap- pear to be of eommanding importance. The legislature, when it opened its 21st day today, had failed to comply with the first mandate of Governor A. G. Sorlie, who urged that appropriation measures be disposed of in the first 20 days of the session in order that the rest of the time might be devoted to constructive legislation. Buty few of the important institu- tional appropriation bills have been passed in either branch of the legis- Jature. The demand of the Governor for economy, however, finds no op- ponents in either branch of the leg- islature. Appropriation bills are be- ing pared at every turn, The in- junejion of the Governor against log- rolling and trading of votes on in- stitutional appropriation measures thus far has been observed. The method of the appropriations com: mittee in introducing bills for s parate institutional, appropriations, rather than putting in omnibus bills ee has done much to discourage trading of votes. The general consensus of ticed is another factor. 1 Big Measures | Among the measures of prime Invites Solons . To Inspect All Of Its Records The Depositors Guaranty Fund Commission, in a letter to the legis- lature, invited members of the leg- slature to inspect its accounts and records, and stated that an aydit re- port had been made which would be -j available to the members of the leg- slature. MERCURY SINKS TO 29 BELOW The cold e scheduled for Bismarck arrived two days late, but with a vengeance, The chill- ing blasts from the Northwest- dian Provinces sent the mercury today down to a point equalling théSlow mark of the winter—29 below zero. Bismarck was the coldest place listed on the weather map report. Rising temperature is predicted to- night. SEN, INGERSON EXPLAINS HIS BANKING STAND Asserts That Legislation Is For the Benefit of the Sound Banker i { TO RESTRICT . LOANS Bills Would Tend to Bring More Conservative Trend, He Says State Senator Ralph Ingerson, Non- partisan, Burke county, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, who has introduced many bills in the legislature becoming known as the “Ingerson banking program,” today issued a statement explaining ‘and defending his measures and his at- titude. Senator Ingerson, by statements that he would restrict the borrowing power of farmers and his previous advocacy of branch banking by the Bank of North Dakota, has caused some to declare that the chairman is seeking to open the way for state banking.
