| ai! “MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1925 ROAD PROGRAM UPSET, TO SEEK NEW MEASURES Defeat of Additional Gasoline| Tax Upsets Plans in Legislature MANY AGAINST IT “Warm Debate Preceded De- cision of the House on Gasoline Tax COMPROMISE PLAN A compromise plan on highway legislation, as a result of the defeat of the additional one-cent gasoline tax for road purposes, was being framed today for pre- + sentation in the legislature. The proposal is to leave the gas- oline tax at one cent, as at pre- sent, provide that the first $75,- 000 ‘received shall go into the state general fund and the re- mainder into the state highway fund. At present the entire one cent tax goes into the gen- eral fund. Sponsors say the ci- garette tax will make up money lost to the general fund by this method, An effort was to be made today or tomorrow by members of the House of Representatives Highways Com- mittee’ and others to revise the state road building program, as a result of the defeat in the House late Sat- urday afternoon of the bill providing an additional one-cent tax on gas- oline, to raise money to match Fed- eral Aid for state road _ building. Sinco this bill, House Bill No. 71, failed to pass, the highways situa- tion was left in an unsettled state. It was declared by proponents of the measure that since the motor vehicle bill had passed, providing a method of division of money, and county money cannot be used to match Federal Aid after 1926, the situation now is that the state will have a Highway Commission and or- ganization with no funds to build roads. When the gasoline tax measure came up for final passage, party lines were entirely broken. Rep. Watt of Cass county declared he was opposed to the bill. Views Expressed ye been talking about cutting taxes,” said Rep. Watt. “The other day we pa cense bill $300,000 to Now we which adds $200,000 motor vehicle license: e attempting to put on a gasoline tax of $500,000. ‘This money | program shall be limited to the Bank Sé 14. is to be spent on trunk highways, and not for roads from the farmer’s home to town, and I am against it.” Rep. Twichell, s county, said that when the session opened some good roads enthu: figured out a scheme calling for raising $2,600,000 a year for good roads. This was re- jected, he said.- The House had al- ready, in the motor vehicle license bill,” said, put the expense of maintaining state highways already built, on the Highway Commission. The Commission will get just about chough from the motor vehicle funds to do this, he added, and said the gasoline tax money would match Fed- eral Aid for building new roads. “This is not increasing the amount of money for Federal Aid roads—it is decreasing it,” said Mr. Twichell. “The counties are relieved of main- taining these roads. You are “taking off the county tax to match Federal Aid. You won't spend as much mon- ey for Federal Aid roads under this plan as you are now.” Rep. Divet, Cass county, opposed the bill, declaring he was opposed to it “because it is a $500,000 in- crease in taxes without a corres- ponding reduction any place.” He declared that some members had been “bunked” step by step into supporting many measures and shouted that “the time to fight these good roads grabs by the Highway Commission and other commissions is at the start.” Local Man Opposed Rep. Thompson of Burleigh county declared that the expense of main- tenance of roads built under the plan would mean additional taxation, while Rep. Twichell declared that sinee the maintenance must come out of the state road fund created, it meant that the amount of new roads Tschida, Tuneberg, Veitch, Vogel, Watt, Worner, Zimmerman, Speaker Larkin, LAWYER MIX IN ROAD -INQUIRY ) (Continued from page one.) gineer, written Nov. 18, 1922, saying the contractor had the road in such condition that it was impassable and should be placed in conditidn for winter travel. Twichell said that he stayed 10 days longer—until the day before Thanksgiving—to put it in condition, Appealed For Gavin Twichell had testified that there as ill feeling between him and Jack avin, engineer on the job. Graham produced a letter from Twichell to W. H. Robinson, chief engineer of the Highway Commission, that Gavin wa: competent, worker, and said would be unfor- tunate if Gavin was let go. Twichell the letter was in answer appeal from Gavin, who thought he was to be fired. The letter from Twichell Stating he did not want Gavin removed added “Pve already had too many damned engineers on the job.” The letter also said Robinson and H. O. Wray, his assistant, had been treating Twichell fairly. “That was after they made an agreement which they later never kept,” Twichell said. Twichell quoted Gavin as saying the Richland county project present- ed the worst engineering job ever done. “Do you agree?” perlative,” answered Twichell. Others on Stand Among others on the witness stand jwere C. H. Luckey of Fargo, engi- neer, who made the original survey on the Richland county job, and H. C. Knutson, Highway Commission engineer, on the job in 1923, Mr. Luckey said he made the survey in the fall of 1919 on orders of the Highway Commission, under protest, stating that there was a heavy snow done satisfactorily under those con- ditions. Mr, Knutson was asked and ;said that Mr. Twichell had been or- dered to do some extra work on the road in 1923 before it would~be ac- cepted.

The two bills repealing, jthe ‘state's anti-cigarette law, jlicensing their sale, have been sign- ed, and will become law April 1. It is jhardly possible that an early refer- endum to the people will be at- tempted, and the measures may be given a trial. A slight strengthen- jing of the prohibition law, tighten- ing up of restrictions on public dan- cing and the ban on Sunday dances are measures which have. passed the House and are pending in the Sen- ate. Bills providing for withdrawal of pupils from the public schools for religious education were emphatical- jly killed both in Senate and House. There is much interest in the out- come of the bill to repeal-the law creating the state licensing depart- ment, which licenses motion ‘picture shows, soft drink parlors, taxicab stands, and maintains a force to aid in enforcing the prohibition laws. The dill passed the Senate with vir- ‘tually no opposition, which was. somewhat of a surprise in view of the hot fights staged in the legisla- ‘ture in the past over this measure. A harder passage, if at all, is ex- fected in the House. Doubtful Economy Economy is still an open question. | Rep. Divet declared to the House Saturday that it appears from the situation now that the legislature Will authorize the expenditure of $2,000,000 more in the biennium than ; any legislature ever before author-| ized. Although nearly evéry appro- priation measure for state depart- id Fort many build would-be defreased as the maintenance increased. Rep. Hardy of Slope declared that tie gasoline tax would force the tourists to help pay for main roads, and Rep. Peters declared this was an admission that the roads were being built for tourists and declared ‘the gasoline tax the tourist would pay was small as compared to the ‘tax that farmers would pay for the roads. - The roll call on passage’ of the bill was: > Ayes—Brown, Burkhart, Burns, Butt, Carr, Crocker, Currie, Dough- erty, Doyle, Elken, Ellingson of Traill, Ferris, Frank, Freeman, Hal- crow, Hardy of ‘Slope, Hardy of Mountrail, Hartl, Helbling, — Hildre, Iverson, Jacobson, Jodock, Johnson of Foster, Johnson of » McHenry, Johnson of Pembina, Johnson of Ransom, Keierleber, McManus, Mar- tin, Montgomery, Muus, Oberg, Rabe, Rasmussén, Richardson, Rulon, Sa- get, Sanderson, Sanford, Schmidt, ments and institutions has been slashed, other appropriations have added.

Senator Eastgate of Grand Forks jcame forward as the champion of |these ‘bills, pointing out especially the growing importance of the poul- try industry to the women of North jDakota. Both bills passed. | Like the fair appropriation bills, however, they are threatened with a ‘stormy trip through the house, since bills carrying the same appropri- ations as those passed by the senate, have already been defeated in the jlower house. Bills Killed The most important of the bills killed on committee Ss. B. reports was 214 which provided ment of high school tuition funds on the county basis. Senate Bill 256 providing for an ad- ditional justice of the peace in coun- ties containing cities of over 5,000 population was knocked out as was ja bili of Senator Ole Ettestad’s mak- ing some amendments in the present law limiting school district levies, and S.

B, 153 pro- Ividing penalties for the deposit of public funds in banks without the securing of a proper bond was up for third reading but was defeated, the vote being, aye 23, no, 24. A good sized grist of measures received recommendations for pass- ‘age in committée reports accepted enate today. Some of these are likely to be defeated when they come up for passage however, the general fecling today evidently being that it would save time to accept all committee reports, and take final action on the bills later. - Among the bills thus recommended for, passage was Senator ‘Theodore Kaldor’s moneys and credits tax bill, Bishop Jonés ° Speaks a@“U” Grand Forks, can’t prepare fo peace” declared of Orange, N.
