Many Bills Passed ‘The senate engaged in a bill pass-| ing spasm Saturday afternoon, 15 measures being thus disposed of. Nine of the bills passed carried minor amendmey ts to the Workmen's compensation law. A tenth bill amending this law was on the calendar, but when it came up for discussion a number of the senators went on the war path against the extension of the activi- ties of the compensation bureau} which it called for, and the bill was indefinitely postponed. | The bill in question would have required the insurance of all er ployees on commercial threshing out- fits. Dell Patterson, Renvflle coun-| ty, was the first to take the floor on “As I understand it this bill would insure all workers on threshing! crews” begun the senator from Ren-| ville, “Sure, even the cook” called out Senator Jerry Stevens of Ransom. “Well I want to say right now that 1 don’t see why we should have to insure a lot of floating , labore: who are likely to get hurt while they are ginned up on moonshine hooch” shouted Mr, Patterson; “and I want to know too how far this Workmens’ Compensation Bureau is going to go. We've sut here for the last two| hours voting on their bills, where! are they going to stop anyway?” Up To Farmers “It’s the farmers who will have to| pay the cost of this insurance” said Senator Eastgate of Grand Forks. We all know that this bill was draft- ed by the Compensation Bureau of- ficials. I think it’s about time we began to really look after the farm- ers’ interests. I don’t believe the farmer has really benefitted by any . law passed in the last 10 years. Take that you birds” he added grinning at the Nonpartisans, Senator Ingerson tried to defend the measure but the tide was set against it, and it was indefinitely postponed. Senator Rusch’s bill revising the delinquent tax and tax sale laws went through without opposition. Bills along the same line have already been passed by the house, and the “differences between the bill will pro- bably have to be ironed out in con- “ference.

We are useful people. That alone makes our lives worth while. “~ besaine the wake coc of us depends wy ie ski and faithhiiness of others, none of us can be sufficient to himself.” The words of President Dubois might have been chosen specifically to apply to the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). This Company is organized into a big group, use no small group can handle usiness of oil. products on the vast scale which is required by our complex civilization. Only a large oil company can produce and distribute gasoline and lubricating oils which penetrate to the most remote parts of the Middle West in such a way as to make possible the circulation of the millions of automobiles.
