) » iy 1 ’ THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1927 THE BISMARCK TRIKUNE HOUSE ACTS | ON 30 BILLS WEDNESDAY | (Continued frem page one) | mittee had placed the majority bills! on the calendar. | L, Twichell, majority floor| leader, pointed out that the minority was inconsistent in view of the ac- tion on the other bills, in attempt- ing to force approval of its measure. Explaining the attitude of the ma- jority, he said the state affairs com- mittee had felt it unwise to ask the bank to advance the money on the ground that the state should meet its pen debts and not ask the bank to do so, Minnie Craig Leads Attack | Minnie D. Craig, Benson county, launched the minority attack by declaring that the Bank of North| Dakota can do anything which pri- vate banks can do and that private banks which acquire land on fore-) closure never hesitate to pay the taxes upon it. The Bank of North Dakota has $8,000,000 in reserves, mostly invested outside the state, she id, and contended that the land taken over on foreclosure would be a fine investment. The jority bill, she charged, was mere- attempt to redit the ba y causing a tax levy to be mi to pay delinquent taxes on land taken over by it. She branded the majority bills as an “attempt to aise political thunder” and declared there was no more excuse for a tax levy for the Bank of North Dakota than for any other bank acquiring real estate on foreclosure. Twichell contended that the bank had nothing to do with the matter in view of the fact that it is only the agent for the state in foreclos- ing on the lands and the further fact that it has proved impossible to ob- tai nments of tax certificates issued on the foreclosed land. “The certificate holders will not ign their certificates,” he id. ey want their money. Then when the bank pays the certificates there is no security for it to hold.” J. H. Burkhart, minority floor leader, contended that the bank now has all the authority buy up tax certificates and express- ed the view that such a course would not only prevent the necessity for a tax levy but would make money for the bank. A Good . Investment R_ E. Swenseid, Mountrail county, said that in view of the rate of in- terest paid on tax certificates as compared with interest now paid on! the reserves of the bank it would be good business for the bank to take over the certificates. hell reiterated that the certif- ieates can not be obtained by as- signment but must be paid and that upon payment the security offered by it vanishes. ‘A. W. Fowler, was astounded tl the bank should upon it a problem which is really the state’s. Citing the situation devel- oping with regard to the funds to retire bonds and pay interest upon them, Fowler said the Nonpartisans expected to take up the slack result- ing from failure to collect interest | money by borrowing from the bond! retirement fund and to have the bank function in that connection. Nonpartisans were attempting to make the bank a dumping ground for the state’s financial problems, he id, because they are afraid to ‘ace the issue before the people and want to. sidestep for “political re s.”" Their attitude was inspir ion to “put off the evi The Nonpartisan pr m, he charged, would result in} ing up reserves of the bank in} frozen assets. Burkhart cited several instances in which he said the bank had sold foreclosed land at a profit and av red that Fowler was taking too pe simistic a view of the situation. The motion to approve the Non- partisan measure lost, 51 to 60, ‘and the clincher motion also was car- é ried. Snuff Tax Boosted The bill to legalize the sale of snuff came back to the house Wed- nesday after having been amended by the state affairs committee and was again approved, The amend- ments increased the tax from one cent to three cents on each one and one-quarter ounces and also changed the requirements as to placing state excise stamps on both snuff and cigarettes. The snuff measure amends the cigarette law. ‘A motion by Burkhart that money raised from the snuff tax pe placed in the school fund to finance propa- ganda against the use of liquor, to- bacco or narcotic drugs “as now pro- vided by law” was defeated. Twichell, who also opposes the bill, contended that it is foolish to license something, place a tax upon it and then use the money to cam- paign against the thing licensed. A motion to kill the bill lost, 37 to 56, and the measure was placed on the calendar for today, The right of hospitals to operate as “closed corporations” came under fire when the judiciary committee recommended defeat of a bill per- mitting physiciats and chiroprac- tors to practice in any hospital. The same bill has been defeated at each of the last several sessions. Gordon Cox, Burleigh county, con- tended that- the bill would reduce the efficiency of hospitals by per- mitting any physician to practice in it and that the decision as to who should practice in a pospital should be left to its board of directors, Hospital Bill Killed : Twichell objected that if the bill permitting chiropractors to practice in hospitals were passed that the osteopaths and masscurs would be asking the same privilege at the next session. All do good work, he said, but have no place in a hospital. The bill was killed, 81 to 28, Another arugment resulted when the majority of the Apbremiations committee recommended a bill. car- rying: $185,000 for the operations of the state hail insurance department. A minority report urged defeat of the measure. William Watt, Cass county, appro- priations committee chairman, said the bill represented an effort to make the hail department amenable to the will of the legislature and pointed out that the legislature’ has nothing to da with the present stand- ing appropriation of $176,000 whieh is paid from money callected by the department. Recent operations have shown that this amount is too much and a part of it has been placed in -the hail department surplus fund an- nually, Independents contended. Burkhart protested amount of work to\be done varies with the amoynt of ‘hail experienced during a year and tl to limit it jitures would handicap the d partment in years when hail loi dnptsd bya BS tobi vote was adopt y a vote, ‘A bill to penalize eltizens who fail it 1.50 to their : itt ted ft with a re prendation for amendment. ‘The s county, said he the friends of attempt to foist it needs tol | in great detail, Spe |e Vy i nority defeat | vas accepted, 49 to 40. irand Forks coun-, ty, explained that tbe elections com- mittee had introduced the bill with- | out binding any member to vote for it in order to bring the matter to; the attention of the house.

The proposed enact ment, he said, would have the effec! of driving them to the polls. R. 0. Signalness, McKenzie coun- | ty, who had introduced a similar bill, declared non-voting to be the “big-| gest curse the nation has today,” and | urged support of the measure. Some members objected that the clause which provides a rebate of | the penalty to the person who pays| taxes would not operate in the case | of persons paying no taxes and Rich- ard Bubel, Oliver county, declared his belief that the “bill goes too far in the matter of law-making.” | Military Training Beneficial Opposing the bill to prohibit mili- tary training at state support cational institutions, L. W. Sperry, Burleigh county, said he knows of no experience which benefits man more than militar: averred that military ¢ extent now practiced should be con- ik | tinued. H. F, Swett, Kidder county, pointed out that 92 per cent of the federal are used to pay the expe t, present and future war: and declared that it is time to spend the money in teaching the arts of peace, D. L. Peters, Pierce county ed out that the United States is one of the richest and most populous countries and needs protection, No ter how it wishes for peace it be drawn into a war and in such event should be reasonably prepared, he said. Declaring that military training does not cause a people to wish to go to war, he said he would favor military training for high school boys. M. H. Lynch, Richland county, and Walter Tester, Stark county, world war veterans, urged defeat of the bill. Lynch pointed out that the| best assurance of peace is a well- ined citizenry able to protect the nation from aggression and averred that the bill is cont to the na- tional defense policy and a step backward. M. T. Lillehaugen, Walsh county, author of the measure, made his first point- REGISTRATION AT PRIMARIES IS VOTED DOWN (Continued from page one) | that it was an apparent attempt for o try to control the ter- t to it. Voters who 8 are trying to control y around their towns, he aid, and averred that 90 p nt of the men in the majority of small towns don’t pay $1 in’ taxes. He suid that if the last two months of the present winter happens to be unusually severe, 60 per cent of the farmers will be “dawn and out,” and declared that the man on the farm and his family is forgotten, Opposition to a bill providing that election ballots may be destro four months after the election, in- stead of six months, led by Sen- ator John W. Benson, Rolette coun- ty, who moved that it be indefinitely although Kelsch read her this answer she was alleged to have given at the inquest. She also declared that Thiele did not strike at Mrs. Riedinger, as alleged by the prosecution.

Suggests It Ge Made Optional Twichell cut into the argument with the demand for a vote to “find out who are pacifists and who are not,” and Burkhart, who signed the minority report of the education committee, said he did so in order to bring the matter before the house and suggested that military training at state-supported institutions be made optional with the students. He is not opposed to either prepared- ness or reasonable military training | and is not a pacifist, he said. Little debate marked the passage of the Fowler bill to change the election law: inti t that the matter had d Tuesday er Carr asked nembers to be brief in their dis- the ion Burkhart charged that the bill would reget against the farmers who would find it difficult to attend county and state meetings during the planting season and would result in giving the cities control of political parties. Others objected on _ the ground that the people have learned to use the primary system now and that it is poor policy to change. Some charged, us they did Tuesday, that it is an attempt by the major- ity to override the minorit: THOUSANDS HOMELESS IN CALIFORNIA (Continued from page one.) of San Diego county, 6.62 inches of rain fell Tuesday night and early Wednesday. While some rivérs and creeks were reported receding and the flood crest passing, weather reports said another storm of unknown pro} tions was rolling in from the Pacifi More rain today also was promised. The Pacific storm was reported 48 hours away. , The death list included one drown- ing at San Diego, four from traffic accidents in Los Angéles, one death at Taft and one at Riverside. Towns Are Isolated 4 In several cities water reached a depth of three to six feet. Some places in the Mission Valley of San iego county were reported to have been under 10 feet of water. Intercity communication by roads and railways still was demoralized with San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, Owensmouth, and Chats- worth completely isolated. Additional cities deluged by flood waters were Buena Park, a Los An- geles suburb, which at one time was under three . feet of water; Green-| ville, which was submerged and evac- uated and Laurel Canyon, some of whose residents fled because of fear of a landslide, BIG CREEK SNOWSLIDE TAKES THIRTEEN LIVES Fresno, Calif.
