ISLOPE SOLONS 'DISAGREE ON TIME MEASURE House Buries Bill By 53 to 46 Vote Yesterday — Morton, Adams, Dunn Men Favor It With western Dakota membe deadlocked on the proposed bill to put the Slope country into central time, the house yesterday voted to kill the measure, 53 to 46. Representatives from Morton, ark, Adams, Dunn and Oliver counties supported the bill, while solons from Sioux and Mdcer county opposed it in discussion in committee of the whole, At the suggestion of © several members from other sections, a poll wi taken cf the western | members so that the others might | vote to give the majority what|Dr. Henry they wanted. Members The scheme Deadlock | led when the vote | was 9 to 9. Two were missing. Richard Bubel, Oliver county, said he could see no reason for a difference in time between Bis- marck and the western part of the | but O. C. Martin, Slope county, opposed the bill on the ground that farmers west of the Missouri river had tried the fast time during the war and were dis- satisfied. He doesn’t blame Man- dan, Dickinscn and other cities for wanting the change, he said, but averred that it doesn’t ‘help the farmer. J. H. McCay, Sioux county, said small children would have to start for school before sunrise in the winter time if the change is made | and alleged that the railroads would not change their time to ccnform to that which would be} established by the bill. C, Lee, Dunn county, said the | raliroads had promised -to. change | their schedules to conform to the | proposed change and declared that | alleged objection to the bill by farmers ‘ was over-estimated. He seid only a few farmers are op- posed to the change. Peter Boeckel, Mercer county,' said a change in the time wou!d! make it difficult for farmers in handling threshing crews and em- ploying men, while A. O.
