ie e TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1925 RLAT TAX AND ZONING UP IN LOWER HOUSE Bill Is Made Special Order of Business For This Afternoon TAX DEBATE CAUSE — Many Opposed to Increasing “One-Cent Tax Per Acre To Two Cents The House of Representatives de- bated the question of revision of the state hail insyrance law at length yesterday afternoon without decisive result, and finally made House Bill No. 86 a special order of business for 3 o’elock this afternoon. The question of cleavage, the amount of the flat acreage tax to be spread against all tillable lands, de- vision and amount of surplus to be built up for the department. The present flat tax is one cent, the majority of the insurance committee favored increasing this to two cents and the minority favored retention of the one cent tax. The committee had not divided on the zoning scheme provided in the Dill, and although it provides a rad- ical change in the method of con- ducting the state hail insurance de- partment, no objections were raised on the floor to the zoning scheme. Pleas were made for a two cent flat acreage tax on the ground that it was necessary to have a surplus built up quickly so that the hail insurance department would not haye: to bor- row money to pay hail, losses, that it would affect absentee landlords and aid ultimately in paying indem- nity, Oppose Flat Tax Obponents of increasing the flat acreage tax to two cents per acre asserted that an unnecessary in- crease of $260,000 per year in taxes would be caused. Rep. Traynor, Ramsey county, stating this position, said the sur- plus of the hail insurance depart- ment is now $3,500,000. It is pro- posed in House Bill No. 86, he said, to take $900,000 to pay the deficit existing in 1923. With this deduc- tion, the surplus yet would rise again by next December through in- terest and penalties on taxes, etc. to $3,125,000, he said. “The situation is this,” he said, “By next December the surplus would be $3,125,000. The average hail loss for the last six years is $3,300,000 per year. Therefore, the surplus would lack but $175,000 next December in meeting the average hail loss, and this amount of money could be easily borrowed, and a $363,000 tax avoided. By tHe next year the hail insurance surplus would be more than sufficient to meet the average loss. “It seems preposterous to me,” he said, “to build up a surplus to a point where it will meet the aver- age losses, and then go on levying taxes for it.” -Tries Harmony Representative George Morton at- tempted to bring about an agreement on the proposition. “We have two situations here,” he said. “Many in the western part of the state feel that much land owned by speculators should pay a part of the cost by the flat tax, while thou- sands of farmers in the eastern part of the state owning their own farms do not like to be tayed for the state hail insurance department when they do not insure in it. “I would like to see these forces get together. I believe this is a fair-minded house and we can do it. I came here to cut taxes, and I have been trying to do so. I believe that by leaving the flat acreage tax at one cent an acre we can build up the hail insurance surplus and yet save taxes, and that in two years when we come back we can get the people on both sides together and we can frame a law that is satisfactory.” The majority.,of the insurance committee favored the two cent tax until the hail insurance surplus is $5,000,000 and then would provide that the two cent tax would help meet indemnity payments. The min- ority was for a one-cent tax until the surplus fund reaches $4,000,000. There also was no debate on using $900,000 of the surplus to ‘pay the 1923 deficit. Zoning Scheme The zoning scheme provided in the bill would divide the state into four districts. A county each year would fall in one of the four districts, based on the amount of losses for hat year. The rate would be heav- iest in the districts and counties with the heaviest losses. The first, zone would be composed of counties showing not more than a 3 percent. loss; second zone, 3 to 5 percent; ithird zone, 5 to 7 percent; fourth zone, over 7 percent. A limit would be provided of 70 cents per acre for $7.00 insurance. It was explained by Chairman Hoople of the insurance committee that in 1923, the big,hail logs year, the rate for the first zone would have been 43 cents an acre, 51 for the second, 60 for the third and 68 for the fourth. The statutory maximum insurance for $7.00 an acre’ now is 50 cents. : The House, in committee of the whole, voted 53 to 54 to Teleet the teport of the standing committee, 58 to 53 to reject the report.of the ma- jority, and then made the matter a special order of business for Tues- day. ARGUES FOR »* CO-OP BILL BEFORE SOLONS Geo, T. Murray, representing the North Dakota Wheat Growers Asi ciation, gave the following interview today. 3 %, “In reference to H. B, 168~-A bill to amend the Cooperative Marketing| ment to the law we are, “going into court with clean hands” so to speak. That is we are not attempting in any manner to interfere with any other's rights. except as logical results. Those opposing us are doing so by false coloring. “We hold to the principle of both common and statutory faw, that con- tracts between parties should be treated as sacred and binding and out of place fgr third parties to in- terfere in executing the contracts. There is not one line or word in the, pill which interferes or attempts to interfere with the rights of noncon- tracting parties, “Cooperators of every line in every state in the Union—especially mar-| keting associations—have found that. competitors misrepresent, deceive, ete. to make cooperation a failure, The only things they don’t use to destroy such associations, are the things they don’t think of. Hence an imperative for the Cooperative Marketing Act. “We are simply asking that eleva- tors and other competitors be not allowed to interfere with matters wholly between the organizations and its members after such association and its members have undertaken to build a marketing association. Such statements as “They are trying to make their members satisfied by leg- islation” is unkind, without founda- tion, and an excuse without a reason. “Those opposing us have no other object in view than to prevent and destroy cooperative marketing. “With the President of the U. S. leading for cooperative marketing, and on Saturday appointed Mr. Wm. M. Jardine of Kansas, secretary of agriculture who personally last year assisted in organizing the Kansas Cc ciation, it is a very opportune time to make an alignment FOR or AGAINST cooperative marketing.” CONGRESS TO SPEED WORK Many ‘Important ‘Measures May Be Lost During Rush Washington, Feb. 17—With the Senate inaugurating regular night sessions, the 68th Congress set gits pace for the home stretch which finds much to be accomplished, to put through even the more impor- tant of pending measures before its expiration, a little more than two weeks ahead, With the House clear of the reg- ular supply bills and moving le urely with other matters, the legis lative jam is more-or less centered in the Senate. Although leaders hope the night sessions will accel- jeraté the pace there, a filibustering move is drawing strength of opposi- tion to ‘several measures. While satisfied that all of the ap- propriation bills, several of which still await action in the Senate, will be sent to the White House before March 4 Senate and House leaders have no such confidence as to the fate of other measures. Notable among these are the postal pay and tate increase bill and farm relief | legislation. GOINGS MAY . HAVE WIFE New York Woman Writes for Information Wadena, Minn., Feb. 17—Pictures of John Goings, Carrington, North Dakota man, found murdered in a corn shock near here, were sent to- day to Mrs. Eli@abeth Goings, New York, following receipt of a letter received by police intimating that the murdered man might be her hus- band. Relatives declared shortly that his body was found that he was a bachelor. A letter received by R. C, Jessup, Wadena chief of police, requested additional information regarding the murder. = -She told of reading about Goings’ murder in New York papers.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUN: DEFEATED IN STATE SENATE Would Have Required Stock- holders to Put Value of Their Stock in Escrow OTHER SENATE ACTION Senator Ralph Ingerson’s bill re quiring holders of bank stock to de- posit cash or securities equal totheir been hanging fire for the last week was put out of its agony by the state senate yesterday afternoon. Coming up for third reading and final passage, the bill was defeated 26 to 21, two Nonpartisan’ senators ‘voting was the Independents fbr the death sentence, Action on two other bank regula- tory bills which were on the calen- dar for today were postponed until today, and the mill and elevator management bill amended by the In- dependents last Saturday was not reached today. All three of these measures will probably be acted on today. There was comparatively little de- bate before the vote on S. B. 73, Senator Ingerson’s double liability deposit bill. The author of the mea- sure explained his purpose in its in- troduction whch was he said the in- surance of payment of the double liability on the part of stockholders in insolvent banks. Senator Page of Benson county attacked the meavure declaring his conviction that if it were passed it would have the ef- fect of putting many state banks * lout of business. Vote on Measure There were a few diversions from party lines on the roll call. The sen- lators voted as follows: For passage: Bakken, Benson, Carey, Ettestad, Fleckten, Hamilton, Hjelmstad, Ingerson, | Magnuson, Marshall, Martin, McCrory, Mikle- thun, Olson of Barnes, Olson of Eddy, Patten, Patterson, Ritchie, Ward, Whitmer, Wog. Against passage: Atkins, Babcock, Baird, Bond, Eastgate, Hart, Kaldor, Lynch, McCoy, McLachlin, Mufphy, Olson of Burleigh, Page, Pathman, Peck, Ployhar, Porter, Rusch, Schlosser, Seamands, Steel, Stevens, Storstad, Tofsrud, VanCamp, Whit man. Absent, Frederickson; Kretschmar. Another bill of Senator Ingerson’s which would have thrown additional restrictions around the negotiation and discounting commercial paper hared the same fate by almost the same vote being defeated 26 to 22. It was rather a tough afternoon in the senate for Nonpartisan meas- ures two more companion bills de- signed to make it possible for the state to levy taxes on the corporate excess of foreign corporations doing business in the state being killed on jcommittee reports, These bills -were sponsored by Frank Hellstrom of Bismarck who ‘appeared before the state committee on their behalf. S. B. 146 provided for the levying of a tax on not voting, corporate excess, ard its companion, | S. B. 147 provided that all foreign corporations doing business in North io | Dakota and having a domicile in the (State must als@ take out a state charter. The second bill was intend- ed to bring these foreign corpora- tions within the scope of the pro- vision of the former, Pay it Anyway The recommendation of the com- jmittee on state affairs that the two {bills be passed was voted down 26 to 22, and the bills were then indefin- jitely postponed by the same vote. “I can’t sce that these bills make much difference one way or the jother,” declared Senator Ole Ettes- ‘tad of McHenry in the course of the debate which preceded the vote. “The whole thing will come out of the pocket of the consumer, the poor man in any case.” The Nonparti- sans supported the measures how- ever despite Senator Ettestad’s pessi- mism as to their efficacy. The senate put in a long session yesterday afternoon, and passed a total of. 14 bills, most of which were of a routine nature, and excited lit- tle opposition. An exception was S. B. 9, making an appropriation of ($19,450 to reimburse the depositors guaranty fund for money spent in ‘the operation of the guaranty fund commission. Eighteen Nonpartisans voted against this measure but failed to prevent its passage. House Bill 62, regulating the prac- tice of non-resident insurance agents in the state was passed over a scat- tering opposition. So was H. B, 67, and amendment to the law putting extra penalties on the commission ‘of crimes when the criminal is arm- ed with a revolver. In opposing the latter bill, Sen- ator William Martin of Morton coun- ty spoke feelingly against the res- traints on the carrying of firearms declaring that such laws put the law- abiding citizen at the mercy of the lawless element. While it is expected that the mill management bill will be up for action today, this is not certain, as the measure is a house bill, and from ASPIRIN GARGLE IN TONSILITS Cut This Out and Save if Subject to Tonsilitis or Sore Throat A harmless and effective gargle is to dissolve two Bayer Tablets of Aspirin in four tablespoonfuls of water, and gargle throat promptly.

At one time during the question- ing, when J. M, Hanley, Black's counsel, sought to participate in the hearing and was denied the oppor- tunity, Mr. Hanley started to leave the room and asked Mr. Black to go with him.
