House Refuses to Concur _ The house Wednesday concurred in minor senate amendments to nine house bills, but refused concurrence in five others. Among the latter were two bills dealing with rates for the transportation of school chil- dren, which were bitterly argued in the house before final passage. _As presented to the senate, the bills provided for a standard trans- portation schedule considerably low- er than the rates now effective in most school districts. The senate, however, amended the bill to restore rates to the present generalidevel. The matter will be threshed Out in a conference committee and each house is expected to give way in some details, The house state affairs committee presented its report on the Burkhart resolution, which stated that certain reports as to the operations of the tate mill and elevator, which the governor is required by law to file with the industrial commission, had been presented to that body. The report stated that the commit- tee’s investigation had disclosed that the statements contained in the res- olution were in error, except in a few particulars, LOST EDITOR 1S FOUND IN PITTSBURGH Minnesota Newspaper Man, Who Disappeared February 18, Located in the East * Adams, Minn.

Craig, Benson county, said Twichell’s information is wrong and that the income tax auditor has been working reguarly. Independent members pointed out that a bill to remove the six tax supervisors now employed by the tax commissioner had been withdrawn hecause it was shown that they were doing good work and Twichell point- ed out that they. had no tax super- visors when the income tax field au- ditor was added two years ago. In- dependents insisted that the tax su- pervisors do the work of the field auditor, Expert Is Needed Swett contended that an expert is eded to check the income tax re- rns of corporations and pleaded with the “farmers” of the house to protect their alleged interests by making sure that the corporations pay the full amount which they should pay according to law. Mrs. Craig pointed out that three additiona] clerks had been allowed the a 3 office to handle gaso- line tax collections and said the tax commissioner should have the same n if he is to do the work required of him by law. ointing to an item added to the auditor’s office budget for an in- spector to check up on gasoline tax co¥ections, Swett contended that the cofporation income tax reports should ‘be inspected in the same man- ner and said he could see no reason for the change other than politics and the fact that the tax commis- sioner is in political disagreement with the majority party in the legis. lature. The real reason for opposi- tion to continuing the work, h charged, is that it has been carried on too efficiently. He charged that the corperations had sent word to the islature that they wanted the work pped, Swett’s attempt to save the item failed on a 56 to 41 vote. He re- newed his attempt to have the item put back into the budget when the report-of the committee of the whole was reported on the floor but’ lost ain. “flighway Engineer's Salary Ralsed ‘A $25,000 item to complete the sur- vey of the Missouri river diversion project was restored to the appro- riation for the state engineer's of- ice after some discussion.

' Willis, who, relatives said, had dis- appeared once previously, left for, the state convention at St. Paul in good spirits, and nothing unusi was noticed in his condition. When he failed to return upon conclusion of the convention, search was begun. It was disclosed that the missing publisher cashed a draft for $375 in St. Paul, and also had a dri for $175.

A bill already passed by both houses fixes the bank examiner's sal- ary at $6,000 « year and that of his chief deputy at $3,500.

Adyecates of the change, led by Twichell and A. 0. Brown, Adams county, pointed out that the bill rais- ing the salary by statute alrendy had passed and that the. salary must be} paid. The courts have held that in such instances the salary must be paid regardless of whether an appro- ion is made sufficient to cover it, Twichell said. Again the house voted “no,” mem- bers protesting that they knew noth- ing about the matter and were op- posed to it. The subject was brought up again a third time and, after much lamen- tation that it had been “put over on them,” the hause voted the money to pay the salary which they had in- creased by the other bill. V. C.“Normal Denied Buitding The appropriation for the Valley City state normal school was ap-| Proved at $350,563. An item of} $100,000 for a new building added by} the senate was cut out by the house appropriations committee and ap-) Proved in the committee of the whole without comment. The appropriation for the state training school at Mandan was ap- proved at $271,500 after considers ble discussion as to alleged extravagance in-the management of the institution. Chairman Watt of the appropriation committe said he felt that the man- agement had been somewhat extrav- agant, but that undoubtedly the su- perintendent of the institution was the best man possible to get when it came to handling the boys and girls placed under his care. A deficit appropriation for the Mandan institution was cut from $48,000 to $40,000 and recommended for passage. An attempt to reconsider the bill changing western North Dakota from mountain to central stangard time lost when it failed to, receive the two-thirds vote necessary to take the measure from the table, where it pre- viously had been placed by the house. The vote was 54 to 37. Long Bills Considered First At the opening of the morning ses- sion in the house Speaker J. W. Carr announced that the long bi¥s would be considered first so as not to hold. up adjournment of the legislature b: failure of the enrolling and engross- ing department to do its work. bill, which incorporates most of the provisions of the standard aet recommended by the safety conference at Washington, was passed 93 to 7. It authorizes judges to suspend drunken or reck- less drivers from operating motor vehicles and makes numerous import- ant changes in the existing statutes. The budget bill, carrying appro- priations for all the state depart- was passed without comment the strong fight made on certain provisions of the measure in the committee of the whole last night. sed by the house, it carries 240. The vote was 105 to 2. The grain grading and warehouse bill which requires elevators to make a charge for storing grain and} changes the existing law in other im-| portant respects also was _ passed| without argument, 74 to 32. This} biH previously had been bitterly argued in the committee of the whole. The bill creating a weights and measures inspection department un- der the state food inspector passed, 62 to 44, most of the Nonpartisans voting against it. The bill raising the fees collected by the securities commission from stock brokers, amended to make the industrial commission's secretary ex- officio secretary of the ‘securities commission, passed, 60 to 47, The sectri commission bill, to- gether with the budget bill and the weights and measures inspection bill, are expected to go to conference com- mittees of the house and senate, the house having made numerous imnport- ant amendments.

As it passed noon, house members began to get hungry and a call of the house was necessary when the hair dressers’ and cosmetologis! bill came up for passage. The me sure creates a board of ir dressers and cosmetologists and prescribe: qualifications for peysons engaging in that profession. The bill passed 69 to 36.

As amended by the house, the hail insurance bill makes county audi- tors and assessors agents of the hail department; permits withdrawals from compulsory listing of land in counties where 75 per cent of the) land was withdrawn in any preceding year; extends the time forreinstat- ing land under the state insurance | from July 5 to July 10, and permits the hail department to be sued with less difficulty than is the case at_ presen | Nonpartisans opposed the bill on the ground that it was intended to cripple the hail department.
