Building Hope to Retrieve in Senate HARD FIGHT STAGED) | Independents and Nonparti- sans Make Charges and | Coynter-Charges Plans for cneation of a modified system of state highway building, necessary if the state is to obtain money offered by the Federal gov ernment to aid in highway construc- tion, after November 9, 1926, were wrecked yesterday afternoon in the state House of Representatives. After the Independents had scored a victory over the Nonpartisan lead- ers in a fiery battlé over House Bill No. 8, enough members turned against House Bill No. 71, creating a state road fund from the gasoline tax fund, to defeat the bill. As a result, the highway program, which has been a football in \the House for the past week, was left in an uncertain state. As it now stands, the Highway Commission would be left after November 9, 1926, with $150,000 for administration expense, nhout $300,000 from the motor vehi- cle fund to maintain roads already built, and no money to match Fed- 1 Aid for new road construction. Proponents of a road construction program hope to retrieve some of their losses in the Senate. First Big Battle Tho first big battle came on House Bill No. 8, a measure originally spon- | sored by the North, Dakota Good Roads Association, for a three man highway commission, each with six- year terms, appointed one each two vears, but amended in committee. Independents opened a fight on the measure because they declared it was designed to legislate the present | Highway Commission out of office | [a and strip W. G. Black, chief engineer, of his appointive power although he should complete his term running fur two years. They defeated the bill und put on the “clincher,” preventing reconsideration, by a 57 to 56 vote. There was a squabble over the first roll call, announced first a 57 to 55 for the bill, with one absent. Inde- pendents challenged the result an- nounced from the desk and a check- up showed the vote 56 to 56, with one absent, the bill failing to carry. The absent Independent member came in and the “clincher” was applied. It was the second time during the day the Independents had challenged the ; »orrectness of the vote as announced rom the speaker's d The thought on the bill was ex- pressed briefly. his bill was introduced for purpose and since jits introduction the purpose has been changed. It was provided in the original bill that the chief engineer should hire his employes. The word ‘commis- sion’ has been inserted. Evidently meone realized that the present chief engineer would hold office for two years more. They have change! the bill so that the commission shal! have power to employ all engineers, and another change prevents the commission from naming the chief engineer its secretary. * “There is just one purpose. It is to take the power from the engineer and give it to a commission named for political reasons. The bill pro- vides for naming one member each two years but you can’t ‘bring about that condition for four years—not until another Governor is elected.” Rep, Vogel, Nonpartisan leader, de- nied any political motives: “This is not politics,” he said. js bill is framed to fit with a Dill in the Senate affecting Highway construction. This is ar effort to yemove politics from the. Highwey Commission by making an appoint- ment to it each two years ‘and the terms ultimately six years’ cach. This is an effort to give the Commission the riyht to name one ef its own members secretary, who shall be re- sponsible. Anyone who knows of the opinion of the people regardinz the Highway Commission knows this bill is needed.” Rep. Watt, Independent, Cass county, declared: “I am against this bill because it was, sponsored by the Notth Dakota Good Roads Associa- tion. They came down here with 2 $3,000,000 road program. I consider the members ‘of the North Dakota Gcod Roads Association the craziest e Check Roll Call After the vote was announced, 57 to 55, that the bill had carried, Rep. ‘Traynor, Independent, who was check- ng the roll ¢all, demanded a verifi- cation. A’ verification was had and the result was’ announced, 56 to 56, with oné absent. “Then the “clinch- er” was applied... 2. Immediately Hogse’ Bill No..71 was called up for third reading. -Rep- resentative Swett, Nonpartisan, Kid- der county, declared that he was.op- posed to putting any more money in a Highway Commission where. the chief engineer is the entire commis- sion.- The bill, which ‘provided that after the first $75,000 of the “pres- ent one-cent gasoline tax receipts is ‘placed: in the. general. fund, the re- mainder shall ‘go. itito a» highway fund, was advocated to provide $300,- 000 t6 $400,000 a yearZo"be used in matching federal aid: for. road Build- ing purposes. The opposition of Representative Swett, followed by a similar statement. from Rep. Vogel, Nonpartisan : leader, ‘was. the signal | for many) Nonpartisans to vote against the bill, and it was lost 50 to G2, with one absent. The’ “clincher” wus applied, preventing reconsidera- tion. Fi On the vote on House Bill ‘No,, 8, three Nonpartisana deserted their side, and oné Independent‘yoted with the Nonpartisans.,, Reps.
