‘ TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1929 ; _ HOUSE STRIKES TWO. [Ess WAYS ON UTILITIES ASSESSMENT BILLS Measure for $40,000 Survey Appropriation Killed, Uni- formity Passed TAX “on DOGS APPROVED Creation of Identification Su- perintendent Gets Com- mittee O. K. Iwo public uti ity measures which have been hotly contested in the sower house of the state legislature were definitely settled Monday. ‘The house killed ‘a bill to appro-| priate $40,000 for a survey of public utilities property in the state by the board of railroad commissioners. It passed a bill to provide uniform pro- cedure for assessment of public utili- ties. Both bills again were warmly debated. Sitting as- the committee of the whole the house approved a bill nam- ing a superintendent of criminal identification. The bill met little op- ‘vy, position and will go on Tuesday's calendar. The house also approved a bill to place a tax on dogs. Woman Solon Leads Mrs. Lavina Amsberry, Williams county, vigorously took the minority leadership in defense of the bill to appropriate $40,000 for a survey of public utilities. The bill would mean justice for all in valuation of public utilities, in- cluding the utilities themselves, Mrs. Amsberry maintained. Checking up of the physical valuation would make possible further development of pub- lic utilities, she said, and asserted that past surveys have served to good advantage and that this survey should work for more good. L. L. Twichell, ‘Cass county, con- tended that yearly appropriations of the board of railroad commissioners \ have been regularly increased to take care of survey work. He demanded to know where this money had gone if surveys had not been made. “Why should the taxpayers pay for added surveys?” Twichell asked. “Why not put the expense on the utilities themselves and let those re- ceiving benefit from the utilities pay for it? This method is used in sev- eral states.” He urged drafting a law to make such regulation rather than a bill to appropriate more moncy. Charge Twichell logical J. H. Burkhart, Ward county, de- clared such suggestion to be made simply to defeat the present bill. He said the appropriation asked for in the bill would be spent in the inter- ests of the general public and that there was no reason why patrons of the public utilities should stand the expense. He held that it would be just as logical to tax students in the State's educational institutions. Upon Twichell’s asking why the board of railroad commissioners had not submitted a bill such as he had suggested, Mrs. Minnie D. Craig, Ben- son county, said that Governor George F, Shafer had advised the board that it was too late to draft such a measure, Twichell responded that since the board admits such method to be best, it should have come in with such a bill. A. J. Rulon, Stutsman county, maintained that the board of rail- road commissioners has had a chance to do something with the money al- ready appropriated and that there was a question whether the state would receive its worth back from a \ further appropriation. The board is not accomplishing what it should with its money, he said. R. E. Hamilton, Nelson county, said (sthat the bill had been referred sev- eral times to committee, that each time it had been returned, more in- formation became available and with more information the appropriation seemed less justified. Vote on the bill was 59-51. Opposes Amended Bill R. E. Swendseid, Mountrail county, again opposed the amended bill to Provide a uniform procedure for assessing public utilities. He con- tended that under the bill the public utilities can demand reduction in assessed valuation if any other class of property in the state is assessed \ below its full and true value. Twichell maintained that the bill , 88 originally drawn in the tax com- missioner’s office contained the pro- ww RO NIGHT /ae ALR a and sold ald All four Bismarck sil \, vision attacked by Swendseid, was| later S reieee and that the house bad reinserted it. passed by a vote of 63-44. Albert Van Berkom, Burke county, who actively opposed the bill to es- tablish a bureau of criminal appre- hension and identification, which the house killed last week, opened fire on the bill to create a superintendent of criminal identification. He held that {the new bill is a reproduction of the former one. H. F. Horner, Cass county, pointed out that the new measure covers only the field of identification and asks no appropriation, salary of the super- intendent to come from the state prison revolving fund. Twichell ex- Plained that objectionable features of the former bill had been removed in the present one. Aljects Asks Experiment George Aljets, Wells county, de- clared that it is time for a law where- by life and property may be defend- ed. If the state has good criminal records, criminals will. avoid the state, he said. If we give this meas- ure a two years’ trial, the state will find that it cannot get along without it, he said further. A list of amendments to the dog tax bill came in the committee of the whole. An attempt to kill the meas- ure was lost. J. M. Thompson, Burleigh county, said that there are too many dogs doing harm to farmers’ sheep and turkeys and urged the need of a law to place dogs under control. G. W. Hoffman, Pembina county, held that the law should be worded to include an indemnity to farmers for harm done by dogs. Swenseid re- plied that such provision in the sen- fa dog tax bill had caused its de- feat. M. H. Lynch, Richland county, sug- gested county option in regard to dog tax rather than state regulation. Among seven bills passed by the house was one to increase the pay of county officers in counties under 7,000 population, to give state’s attor- neys in all counties the same pay as county auditors and to raise the pay of the register of deeds, clerk of court and the county judge in Grand Forks and Ward counties from $2,000 to $2,250. UNIVERSITY BUILDING BILL ACTION DELAYED House Appropriations Commit- tee Also Postpones Action on Prison Appropriation Action was deferred today on the Whitman bill to appropriate $161,000 for completion of the Liberal Arts building at the state university. The house appropriations committee, be- fore which the bill came, will hold it to consider it jointly with the gen- eral budget bill of the University. ‘The committee also deferred action on a bill to appropriate approximate- ly $271,000 for the general budget of the state penitentiary. The McCay bill which sought the right for Sioux county to move its county seat by a majority rather than a two-thirds vote was amended by the house state affairs committee to require a two-thirds vote on all coun- ty seat romovals and to permit con- test of the question only once every four years. This kills the original purpose of the measure. A hearing was held on a bill to require power companies to make re- funds to consumers for non-continu- ous service. No action was taken.

DR, NEWELL"HILLS, GREAT PREACHER IN BROOKLYN, 1S DEAD Henry Ward Beecher and C-. Lyman Abbott Successor Served Church 25 Years Bronxville, N. Y., Feb, 26—(AP) —Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis, the third great preacher of Plymouth Congre- gational church of Brooklyn, succes- sor to Henry Ward Beecher and Dr. Lyman Abbott, died yesterday after a ‘long illness, He was 71 years old. At the time of his death he held the title pastor emeritus, conferred upon him after his resignation of the pastorate in 1924, He had been pas- tor 25 years. Assuming the pastorate of the Plymouth Congregational Church, Brooklyn, before he was 40 years old, the Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis devoted his life much the same as did his two predecessors, Dr. Hen- ty Ward Beecher and Dr. Lyman Abbott, dividing his time between his church duties and literature. Henry Ward Beecher, one of the most widely known preachers of the country, became pastor of the church upon its organization in 1847 and served it until his death in 1887, a period of 40 years. During that time his sermons and writings attracted attention not only to himself but to his church, which became one of the most famous in the country. Dr. Ab- bott, the second pastor, served from 1888 to 1899, a period of 11 years, and he was succeeded by Dr. Hillis, the service of the three men in Plymouth church aggregating more than three-quarters of a century. Was War Patriot Dr. Hillis took an active interest in patriotic work especially after America entered the World war. When the late President Theodore Roosevelt was endeavoring to get permission to take a division to France he selected Dr. Hillis to go with him as divisional chaplain, a commission that Dr. Hillis greatly desired to accept. The clergyman de- livered many sermons and addresses in which he scathingly denounced the Germans for their alleged atroc- ities and brutality. In order to get first-hand information he went to France in September, 1917, and made a trip over the ground that the Ger- Flu-Grip ~¢ Checked P the start RUB your chest with Vicks before your little cold gets BIG.

Upon his return to the United States he preached a series of sermons on Ger- man atrocities, the marks of many of which he had seen, He said the former kaiser, and not the rest of the world, had caused the word Hun to be applied to the Germans. Dr. Hillis later published the sermons in a volume entitled “German Atroci- tics,” and in the same ir, 1918, ut out another war volume, lot on the Kaiscr’s Escutcheon.” In 1915 he published his first war book, “Studies of the Great War.” Was Harding Supporter An ardent supporter of the late President Harding, Dr. Hillis visited Marion during the presidential cam- paign of 1920 and took part in sev- eral of the Harding front-porch cam- paign councils. Dr. Hillis was born at Magnolia, Towa, September 2, 1858, the son of Samuel Ewing and Margaret Hester Hillis. He was graduated from Lake Forest University in 1884 and pur- sued his theological course at the McCormick Theological seminary, Chicago, from which he was grad- uated in 1887. The same year he was ordained in the Presbyterian minis- try and filled pastorates at Peoria and Evanston, Ill, and the Central Church (independent) Chicago. He resigned from the last named church | to accept the call from Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, in January, 1899. He received the degree of D. D. from Northwestern University and L, H. D. from the Western Reserve Uni- versity. In 1887 Dr. Hillis married ripe Louise Patrick of Marengo, THEATRE Last Time Tonight THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE ON BURLEIGH'S JURY l€ Jury Is Held Legal Local Officials Plan District Court Soon Status of the Burleigh county grand jury, which was in session here last fall and returned a number of in- dictments, will be considered March 5 by the state supreme court, accord- ing to an announcement made today by George S. Register, Burleigh county state's attorney. The court will review facts con- cerning the drawing of the jurors, court will make some decision on the Uh aad of the jury in a reasonably ort time. Judge Fred Jansonius in January ruled that the jury had been drawn legally and refused to grant motions to auash indictments against five de- fendants. James A. Coffey, Jamestown, for- mer judge in this district, ruled that the jury was not legal in December when he granted a motion to quash teegiscc® said, and it is believed the | | indictments against former officers of the Bismarck bank. Because the legality of the jury is of so great public concern, Judge Jansonius asked the supreme court to make a decision on his ruli.g in con- nection with the legality of the jury. March 5 is the first day of the next regular term of the state supreme court. Burleigh county officials de- sire that the court make a decision as soon as possible in order that they may make plans for the next term of Burleigh county district court. If the court upholds Jansonius’ de- cision, plans may be made for a March term c* court~here, Register said, because new jurors will not have to be crawn.
