MAA mA PAGE TWO REOPENING OF BOTTINEAU'S NORMAL VOTED School Closed Two Years Ago By Nestos to be Reopened PASS BUDGET BILLS Senate Approves leasures For Several of the State Institutions Appropriation bills for five state nstitutions which had audy been yassed by the house went through the senate yest afternoon. ‘These appropriations were: Mayville Normal, $138,020. State Asylum, amestown, $76,5 Bismarck, State Penitentiary, 540, Institute for ton, le Minded, 67,700. chool of Forestry, Bottineau, $ n addition to passing the priation bills the senate killed sev- cral, measures including two _ bills which had the support of the Non- partisan League caucus. One of appro- these provided for a new classifica- property all tion of poses, with for taxation pur- business property, lands ete. sed at 80 per cent of it actual value, and personal prop- erty, residences ete. at 60 per cent. The other provided for publicity on income tax returns. Both were kill- ed on committee reports by a strict party vote. ky The school appropriation bills were passed for the same amounts as they were passed by the house with the exception of the Mayville . normal school which was given a $9,000 in- crease. This bill will have to go in- to conference between the two hous- es to get the differences ironed out. Would Cut Allowance Senator Rusch of Cass county wish- to introduce an amendment to the’ penitentiary appropriation bill cutting the allowance for prisoners’ food. His amendment was voted down without a roll call however, and the bill passed as it came from the house. When the appropriation bill for the” Bottineau school was taken up, Senator J. E. Eastgate of d Forks arose to ask a question, “I want to know whether this school is to be run as a school of forestry or as another normal school,” he “I can see where the state need a school of forestry and if is what this school is to be it may be all right to reopen it but if it’s just going to be a joke, I think it had better be kept closed.” may that Best girl citizen, Miss Derothy Birdzell, edits the 1925 High School Annual, boasts a high scholarship record, is a letter woman and a Jun- Jior Playmaker, In the best citizen contest at the Bismarck High School, which “Pep”, the school magazine, conducted last week, Francis Hill polled highest for the boys and Miss Dorothy Bird- ell won the girl best citizenship vote, the entire student body parti- | cipating in the votin Hillman is the editor of the prize student publication “Pep,” and Miss Birdzell is 1925 editor of the annual Prairie Bi which will soon ppear, Both are outstanding figures | in high school activities and have | well earned their best citizenship els.

Beat Publicity Both the income tax publicity bill, and that providing for the new tax classification urged by the Nonpar- tisans came before the senate on di- vided reports from the committee on taxes and tax laws with the majority recommending indefinite postpone- ment. The Nonpartisans forced roll calls on both measures, and all of them with the exception of Senator | Olson of Burleigh opposed’ their death. The clincher motion was ap- plied in both cases ‘however. There was no debate on the’ pass- age of House Bill 127 which extends the right of eminent domain to state institutions and is designed to per- mit the state asylum at Jamestown to purchase’ land’ needed for its wa- ter supply at’a teasonable rate. CO-OP BILL I$ ATTACKED, Chairman Carey Calls it Piece ; of Camouflage Feb. 28.—The Dick- inson cooperative farm marketing bill, substituted by the house for the Capper-Haugen bill, was described today“ by Chairman Carey of the President’s agricultural fonference as “the ‘cleverest piece of camouflage ever drawn.” Appearing: before the senate agri- cultural committee, he said it was drawn by: Henry C. Taylor, chief of the bureau of agricultural.economics, who he said was an antagonist of the conference, tind would “some of the greatest fights ever seen in’ Washington’ if enacted’ into Washington, Safer and’ Governor | Sorlie, as it is expected it will be,| *twould keep clear of the fight within ad been elected on an independent ad of the Republican ticket, This ! action is subj first, to considera-{ tion by a Republican part ence, and later by the sena Taken Over Protests action was taken over The the! written protest of three of the sena- tors—Brookhart of low. and Frazier of North Di plies to letters and Ladd ota—in re- sent them aski whether they desired the Democ lor Republicans to make their com- | mittee assignm It had received no reply from $ or LaFollette. Senator Brookhart informed Re- publican leaders that if the Republi- can committee on committees does; |not care to assign him to places on| ;the standing committees, he will! By this action, the Iowa senaton| went a step further than Senator! Ladd and Frazier, in resisting the! efforts of the party organization to give them special treatment with ref- erence to committee assignments. Frazier Says He Is Republican Senator Frazier wrote the com- mittee on committees that it had never been his principle “to let an one’ tell me what my party affilia- tions should be or how I should vote, and I do not intend to do so now.” Asserting that he had « reg- istered as a Republican and had been elected as such, he asked if it was “possible that the members of the Republican committee on committees are so presumptuous ws to take it Upon themselves to decide arbitrarily what’ the politics of the members of) the senate are,- regardless of the) facts.” Although the program of thé or- ganization will meet with opposition in’ the committee on committees, or- ganization senators said, however,| jthat it would go through. A second} fight over the insurgents’ status al- so is expected in the Republican con- ference to be held probably March 5 to select the slate of senate offi- ‘cers. | Expect to Put it Over While they anticipate some “ppo- sition in the party conference and jin the senate, administration leaders expect to be able to ¢arry out their program, decided upon, they say, be- cause’ of the action of Senator La- Follette in heading a national ticket in opposition to.

Olsness appeared before a joint meeting of insurance committees ef the House and Senate today to re- quest amendments to House Bill No. 8. the hail insurance revision oct, to correct defects in the law found to exist as a result of a supreme court decision in the case of the First National Bank of Turtle Lake and McLean county. The court held that the hail indem- nity tax is not a tax within the con- templation of law and therefore can- not be considered as having priori over mortgages, Mr. Olsness The court's view was that it is not a tax because of the element. of un- certainty as to the method of its at- taching to property, there beitig the tight to enter the. hail insurance’ system or reject it, he added. The situation faced by the depart- ment would be, he said, that hail taxes could not be readily sold when delinquent, since’ they would be sub- ject to mortgage rights. An aincud: ment was suggested declaring she tax a priot lien on property, revis- ing language to’ bring the act w’ in what would be. considered cons Cheaper.' the way of the majority in the reor-| tutional limitations.
