SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1927 ELIMINATION OF SCHOOL AID IS ACCEPTED (Continued frem page one) son, Burleigh county, voted with the Independents. ‘he measure, however, provides that private companies must be under the supervision of the state bureau, which would also adjust and settle all claims as it now does. Qn amend- ment giving outside firms the right of appeal from the bureau’s decisions was adopted. Lieutenant Governor Walter Mad- dock was forced to cast the deciding vote before an amendment was passed omitting an entire section in a bill which would allow banks to post bonds, warrants or bills receivable as security in order to obtain depos- its of public funds. Nonpartisans were in favor of the amendment, while the Independents opposed it. The tie resulted from the absence of Senator C. J. Olson, Barnes county, and the fact that Sen- ator Charles A. Seamands, Hettinger county, (Independent), cast his vote with the league. The bill then passed, 26 to 22, in a vote that disrupted party alignments resulting from the addition of the amendment. Four leaguers voted with the Independents, while three Inde- pendents switched to the league column, Licenses For Foreign Auctioneers ‘the senate then passed the lighter question of ‘a bill to compel auction- cers from other states to $25 to the county treasurer for each auction sale held in North Dakota. Consider- able merriment was had at the ex- pense of three senators who said they were auctioneers before the, bill was passed, 33 to 13, An amendment was added that the measure would not apply to auctioneers from states which do not require auctioneers to be licensed. ‘Two other senate bills, relating to readjustment of state fire and tor- nado insurance fund rates/and pro- tection of insurance companies insur- ing officers of corporations were passed without debate. A house bill providing that county commissioners may also offer boun- ties for prairie dogs and rabbits, in addition to present bounties in some counties on crows and gophers, was recommended for passage by the com- mittee on counties in an after-session meeting. é Would Lengthen Assessors’ Terms The committee took favorable ac- tion on a senate bill which provides that assessors shall be elected for two-year instead of one-year terms and eliminating the requirement that assessors shall be owners of real estate. A senate bill that would repeal the law allowing the county commission- ers to contract with the sheriff for collection of delinquent taxes was killed. The committee on game and fish recommended a senate bill that would prevent appointment of game ward- ens, deputy game wardens or special wardgns who are in the employ of ownerg or lessors of hunting lands. Buf little action is expected in the senate today following its decision to postpone until Monday final con- sideration of all bills reported back by committees Friday. HOUSE PASSES 13 BILLS AND KILLS SEVEN |; (Continued from page one.) Ten Commandments and George Wor- ner, Richland county, averred that since wll churches have the same Ten Comniandments there can be no ob- jection from any of them. If children knew the Ten Commandments better there would be fewer inmates in the penitentiary and the state training school, he contended, M. H, Lynch, Richland county, of- fered the only opposition when’ he pointed out that the senate already has defeated a similar bill. There was no other argument. Final vote on the bill is scheduled for today. For the second successive day the house postponed action on the bill to license real estate brokers and create a state real estate board. It came up late in the afternoon and was postponed, because of its great length. It also will come up today. Action on the flour label and snuff bills was deferred until. Monday. They had been scheduled to come up in the committee of the whole. Post- ponement was had by agreement be- canna of the absence of several mem- ers, Recommendation of the highways committee that a bill to permit grant- img of state aid for bridges across the Little Missouri River be indefi- nitely postponed was beaten in the committee of the whole. Final con- sideration of the committee action was held up until Tuesday at the re- quest of A. W. Fowler, Cass county, who asked more time to ascertain the facts regarding the matter. L. L. Twichell, Cass county, majority floor leader, said he had been told it was not certain where the proposed bridge across the Little Missouri is to be located and joined in the request for additional time. J. H. Burkhart, Ward county, mi- nority floor leader, said the bi amended, makes it clear that the pro- posed bridge is to be constructed on the néw federal highway through the western part of the state. Would Remov: A a constitutional amendment to permit counties of 10,000 population or less to combine the office of county judge with that of clerk of the dis- trict court, was amended to provide that sheriffs and treasurers may hold office continuously without limit. At preaant sheriffa and treasurers may old office continuously for only four years at a time. Action was tal on motion of E. E. Iverson, Griggs. county. |. H. McCay, Sioux county, opposed the motion on the ground that sher- iffs, if permitted to, remain in of- fice without limit, could build up a political machine which would make it almost impossible to get them out of office. The present law regarding treasurers, he is a protection for the public money. Twichell contended that the law sheriffs. was passed when office was supported by fees and that this objection has long since been removed. As amended the. bill will put a real question up to the. le, he said, whereas in its orig. form it means little. The tre: urers’ offices are audited regularly anyway, he said, so that the restric- tion on treasurers holding office no longer is needed. Ben Iverson, former McKenzie county sheriff, said that sheriffs now spend most of their first term prepar for their election to a sec- ond term. At present. he said, few. sheriffs make any effort to ‘collect Fiat tert afl ax 8 during their] sh; MeCay countered with a description of one case in which he said $1,700 had b the sheriff in e on. an’ ;jnothing to home brew with the statement that it came from their candidate.” E. F. Johnson, Foster county, ob- jected to the amendment on the ground that it would imperil pas age of the proposal which the orig- inal bill sought to accomplish. Proyides Furnishing of Transcript A bill recommended by the state’s attorneys association was amended to provide that where a defendant in an action charging a misdemeanor is un- able to pay for a transcript of the testimony offered at a preliminary hearing, the cost ef the transcript shall be borne by the state, As written the bill provided that the state should not pay for such transfer in any event. The state now pays for trans- cripts in all such cases, S. W. Thomp- son, Ramsey county, said. House Bill 108, which would change the entire system of selling taxes, was defeated by a vote of 56 to 37 after a sharp contest... The judicia- ry committee, to which it was refer- red, presented a divided report. The purpose of the bill was to forfeit to the state, land on which taxes are unpaid, doing away with the tax sale system. Had it become a law the counties would have carried the taxes for three years and then taken pos- session of the land. George Aljets, Wells county, con- tended that under the present sy: tem the county gets the land whic no one wants whereas under the pro- prosed bill the counties would acquire some land which they could resell at a profit, thereby making up for the loss in taxes on land which no onc wanted and on which the tax cer- tificates could not be sold. He also claimed _a large saving in the cost of advertising the tax sale. Twichell pointed out that the bill would get the counties little in taxes but would result in acquiring a lot of land. At the same time, he said, the counties would be badly handicap- ped in their normal operations by failure to get the tax money, Johnson of Foster contended that the bill would save the counties mon- RA since, under the present system, they borrow money at seven per cent to make up the deficit in revenue in cases where the counties buy the tax certificates, whereas under the pro- posed system they would make a profit on what land was resold and would also get penalty and interest on the taxes on land which was re- deemed. y Tuition Bill Defeated House Bill 107, which would re- quire the counties to pay tuition for children whose parents live on coun- ty land, was defeated by a 43 to 65 vote. R. E.- Swendseid, Mountrail county, objected that it would place a heavy burden on the counties and Edwin’ Traynor, Ramsey county, countered with the statement that the counties now are unjustly placing a heavy burden on school ticts. No taxes are paid on county land and other residents of the school dis- tricts must pay for the education of the children of county tenants. He expressed the opinion that the law might force the counties to dispose of land more rapidly, since if it was worth living on it is worth some- thing to sell, A. Van Berkom, Divide county, contended that the law would di: enfranchise every person living on county land and insisted on his stand despite the efforts of other members to point out that the bill provi only that children of persons living on county land are to be considered “non-residents for school pur- poses.” When it was apparent that the bill was defeated, Traynor voted against it in order ‘that he might move reconsideration later. The bills amending the game laws brought on brief disputes but car- ried by comfortable majorities. John- son, Foster, opposed the proposal to give game wardens the right of search and scizure on the ground that it gives. the game wardens too much power. Minnesota Has Similar Law Fowler pointed out that Minnesota and other states already have a simi- lar law and that only bonded offi- cials are empowered to act under the terms of the bill. The fur trade added $2,000,000 to North Dakota’s wealth in 1926, he said, and. it is nec- essary to have strict regulation in order to perpetuate this industry. Twichell discovered a defect in the title of the bill and action was post- ponedi Later it was recalled, the defect corrected, and the measure passed by a vote of 85 to 21, The bill giving the governor the right to declare open and closed sea- sons on recommendation of the game and fish commission was opposed by H. F. Swett, Kidder county, on the ground that it adds to the executive's duties and gives him legislative au- thority which he said the assembly should keep. Guy L, Elken, Traill county, sug- gested that the bill be amended to give the governor power only to close seasons proclamation and 0, 8. Oberg, lcLean county, contended that it would save the farmers from the ravages of deer in the Mi river bottoms. They ate 18 acr his alfalfa last year, he said, and are growing too numerous in ‘some sec- tions. |. M. Thompson, Burleigh county, offered the observation that the bill would only make trouble for the ex- ecutive. Fowler met the objections to the| W: measure by pointing out that it pro- vides for judicial review of the seatives, order if anyone is not isfied with it. The game and fi board, he said, is primarily interest- ed in protecting the natural resources of the state and it will make the law more flexible by protecting game in sections where it is becoming scarce. Girl Student Arrested For Alleged Attempt to Rob National Bank (Continued from page one) through a heavy cage door leading to the vault. Attaching her electric drill to a light socket, she found the wire was not long enough to permit handy op- eration on ‘the vault door, and she disconnected it for a nearer socket. Found By Night Watchman it wi then that Denny Sullivan, night watchman, entered the building on his regular round and the girl fled, leaving her suitease of tools and her hat. . Regaining her courage after a few minutes, she returned to the build- ing-in quest of her tools, and then saw that her adventure had been dis- ve coy .

In the woman's ward at the county jail, where she is the only prisoner, the’ girl cried continuosuly through the morning, begging autho ities not to tell her mother of her| plight. “For heaven's sake, don’t tell my mother; it would break her heart,” she sobbed out to Mr. Perkins when he sought to question her. “I won't,” he rephed, “if you tell me the names of your accomplices.” He does not think broken through But Miss M harder, reiterating that she was alone. Couldn't Have Done It Alone the only her Mr. Perkins pointed out that the| telegraph wires had been cut and in- dicated the strength of the cage through which the girl had forced her way, declaring she was not strong! enough to have accomplished it alone. She is rather short, weighs about 125 pounds, but is quite muscular. Her hair is light brown, and Mr. Per- kins termed her “rather good look- ing.” On her adventure in crime she was well dressed, aside from the boy's hat she wore. This she had worn around the campus occasionally, and her name was bodly stamped on the band, Her clothes are of good qual- ity and her brown coat is fur trim- med. Miss Meyers will be held in the county jail.pending a preliminary hearing, which will “not be Monday, at least,” Mr. Perkins said. He is king to establish definitely whether she had accomplices. Shortly after Miss Meyers’ arrest, several women employes from the Grange’s store here visited her room and found several dresses which they identified as having been stolen from the store last October. The bey employes said they had suspect- ed her. MOTHER INSISTS HER GIRL WOULDN'T DO SUCH A THING Woonsocket, S. D., Feb, 5.—()— “That wasn’t my ‘girl;| my girl wouldn’t do anythnig like that.” So said Mrs. M. L. Meyers, mother of Marion Meyers, former co-ed of the University of South Dakota at Vermilion, who was frustrated in her attempt to rob the First Nation- al Bank of Vermilion early today. Mrs. Meyers was certain, when told of her daughter’s trouble, that it was not true, She admitted having a daughter at Vermilion but in a brok- en voice asserted that “that wasn’t my girl.” She told also of a sick son, now in a Huron hospital. She is an employe of the Dad Cafe here and was formerly of Valley City, N. D., where she worked for a time. Mrs. Meyers will leave for Vermilion on the earliest possible train, V. F. W. MEMBERS RELIVE DAYS OF VARIOUS WARS (Continued from page one) and affection between them and that feeling still endures.” Tells of Adventures Senator 8. J. Atkins “Company D in the Philippines” spoke humorously of his adventures there. “My part in taking Manila was in carrying a hundred-pound sack of flour in a 100-degree temperature up a sandy beach,” he said, “I don’t re- member just what the label said on that sack, In closing, he declared: “As long as we have good soldiers we will al- ways have plenty of good citizens.” Major A. B. Welch told of his ex-|% perience with the First Washington regiment in the Philippines and told of the experiences of the regiment under fire. He praised the “wonder- fully fine spirit of comradeship and fraternity” existing among the mem- bers of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Teddy Roosevelt and his rough rid- ers were discussed by Senator Dave Hamilton, who served as a member of this organization. He declared that Roosevelt was a “wonderful man and a real American.” His bravery in the march up San Juan hill was recalled and his courage and leader- ship given praise, Joseph A. Kitchen told of his ex- periences in Cuba and exhibited. a piece of wood which had been taken from the Battleship Maine. M. Parsons told of experiences in Porto Rico and told of the work he had done there as a hospital ste- we ard, Major Harold Sorenson gave a brief outlino of the history of the quarter- master corps in his talk, “The Quar- i ag Department—Then and low.” Dr. Coulter Tells of Russia Dr. John Lee Coulter, president of : the North Dakota Agricultutal Col- lege, told of his experiences ag an emissary to Russia following the war. He characterized Russ: 8, a “mag nificent and wonderful untry, rich in_untapped resources.” He declared that the reason Rus- sia’s resources had not been developed ras because 135 million of the 165 million people in Russia were. illiter- ate. A description of the five polit- ical factions. and armies in Russia after the war was given by Dr, Coul- ter. The five factions were the munists, the anarchists, the socialists, who wished the state to take contro} of all enterprises, the “white army” or republicans, and the royalists. “The major thing I brought back from Russia was the feeling of the tremendous importance of all people having at least a common school edu- cation,” Coulter sald. “Scientific achjevements are fine but where over a hundred million people live in pov- erty, we must have the common school education first. The mass of po- ple must have the opportunity for life itself,” : S.
