LEGISLATORS CLEAR CALENDARS IN BOTH HOUSES YESTERDAY Final Effort Will Be Made To- day to Have Hammilton- Fred- rickson Bill Passed . Members of the North Dakota legislature breathed casier today. The first xcal rush of the present general assembly session is over. its first night meeting, made neces- sary by a heavy calendar and the rush to get under the constitutional deadline. Longer sessions are in order from this time forward, however, in order to permit each branch to dispose of the work before it. The senate will meet at 1:30 today, and the prospect remained that a final effort will be made to pass the Hamilton-Fredrickson bill authoriz- ing the governor to appoint a man- ager for the state mill and elevator. It failed to pass Tuesday by one vote, two Nonpartisans voting against it. Whether either of these will move for @ reconsideration remained a ques- tion. A motion to reconsider must come from one who voted with the prevailing side. May Cite Matthael Whether or not an effort is made to revive the bill, however, there also Was a possibility that D. H. Hamil- ton, leader of the nominal Nonpar- {i@an majority, might cite W. E. Matthael, Wells county, before the _ WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, Ettestad’s substituted. The chair be ruled the motion out of order unless Ettestad cor:2nted. The latter did and he has the distinction of tically having introduced a the fiftieth day and having it Since the section Matthaei’s but it means nothing, provides noth- ing new and is “merely an empty gesture into space.” Calls Change ‘Absurd’ Challenging the claim that the Hamilton |-'l would make any sub- stantial change from the present. law, Matthaei said the contention was “absurd and ridiculous.” The proposed change in the system of auditing the mill he labelled a “dis- tinction without a difference.” The author of the bill, he said, would have the senate believe that it would change the situation at the mill and relieve the enterprise of fu- ture losses. Past losses, he said, were due to paying too much for grain and getting too little for the commodities manufactured and he charged that this system is being continued. The claim that a change in the auditing system would change the losses to “bar of the senate” as the result of| profits is fanciful, he said, and de- a speech made by Matthael yesterday. Matthaei attacked the mill man- agement bill introduced by Hamilton. His speech vas bitter, and Hamilton said yesterday that he felt it was unduly personal and abusive. There was no question that Hamilton was stung to the quick by Matthaei’s re- marks. His was the only speech. Matthaei, however, voted for the bill on the ground of party regularity and the theory that it didn’t make any difference whether the bill passed or not. Nonpartisans who deserted the fold to vote with the Inde- Pendents were Bill Martin of Morton county and R. W. Patten of Moun- trail. i Gas Tax Increased Other senate actions yesterday were passage of a bill increasing the gaso- line tax froma 2 to 3 cents and giving the additional revenue to the coun- ties; passage of a bill establishing a state highway police force; and de- feat of the bill to impose a tax on Grain, proceeds of which would be used to help the cooperative market- ing movement. The bill appropriatinc $210,000 for 8 combined lum and audi- torium at the state agricultural col- lege had a@ hectic career, as did the grain tax bill. Seeing that the appropriation bill had failed, Senator W. 8S. Whitman, Grend Forks, voted “No,” explaining that he did so in order to move for a reconsideration. Later two senators voted “Aye” and Whitman also changed his vote. The roll call showed the bill one short of a major- ity, however, and it was lost. A veri- fication of the roll call failed to change the result. Later Senator Ole Ettestad, Mc- Henry county, moved to reconsider the bill and it was passed, 31 to 18. T’testad’s motion was made merely to give somo ccaators absent on the first vote an opportunity to cast their ballots. He voted against the bill both times. Under the rules only a . Senator who voted against the bill sould move a reconsideration. Beaten, Then Passed The McHenry county’ man also Played a stellar role in the final pas- sage of what had been intended to be the grain tax bill. This measure was beaten without discussion when it came to a vote. Later Ettestad moved a reconsidera- tlon, and when it was obtained of- | fered an amendment which left in | the bill only the claus repealing the | present state grain tax of three- eighths of a cent a bushel. This motion brought on the argu- ment which had been expected pre- ~viously,. O. H. Olson, Eddy county, said he was surprised at the defeat of the bill, since it was really a com- panion bill to the measure to encour- age storage of grain on farms, passed earlier in the session. If such a bill had been passed 25 years ago, he said, the farmers would not now be on ' their knees begging for finances to | eperate cooperative enterprises. Ol- | son cited the Canadian wheat mar- keting pool as an example of what cooperatives could do with proper governmental 4 encouragement, clared the bill a “pure and simple camouflage and a counterfeit. He regretted his lack of a sufficient vo- cabulary to adequately express his contempt “for anything so counter- feit and spurious.” Later, in explaining his vote, he said that he supported the bill be- cause the “good people back in the state” had been led to believe that it meant something, whereas it meant less than nothing, and that he sup- ported it to maintain his party regu- larity. ‘Wog Amendment Fails ‘ An attempt »y Gust Wog, Billings county, to amend the gasoline tax bill failed. He wanted the revenue distributed to the counties on the basis of the number of motor cars registered from each county rather than on the cutomobile license re- ceipts received from each county. William Watt, Cass county, author of the bill, opposed the idea contend- ing that distribution of gasoline tax receipts to counties on the basis of lcense receipts is fair and equitable. ‘There are always inequalities in any tax, he said, and the proposed dis- tribution was es fair as any. A bill to require automobile license tags to be attached to motor cars with a patented seal which would make it impossible to remove the tag from the machine without destroying it provoked another warm argument. Ettestad said it would be an added expense to the automobile owner and would not do the public much good. He charged the senate with “always planning some new way of levying indirect taxes.” Frank Ployhar, Valley City, read a letter from the Bismarck police chief saying the proposed system would be an aid in enforcing the law and would reduce insurance costs by reducing motor car thefts. Device Costs 40 Cents The bilk proposes that the tag shall be attached to the motor car by a device which shall lock it in place. This device also shall bear, enclosed in a glass case and visible from the outside of the car, a record giving the name and address of the owner and all available data about the ma- sete: Its cost is listed at 40 cents each. Supporting the bill, O. H. Olson said it would aid in making a check on the ownership of cars and worth more than 40 cents to anyone to have his tags securely affixed to the ma- Fowler said that amendment to the bill permitted competition in the se- f wards. “That very day I started on a Whole SW seeeee A ae ys you'd never have known me the $sme man six months later.

Citing Bismarck, Wahpe- ton and Fargo as examples, he pro- duced statistics to show that the Presence of students from other dis- tricts really is a financial help to the high schools since they increase the school’s share from the county tui- tion fund, and state aid fund. J. P. Cain, Stark county, said the question is whether parents ‘should pay high school tuition ‘or their chil- dren or the school districts in which they. live should pay it. Some high schools demand more than the jamount non-high school districts are required to pay by law and the par- ents must make up the difference, he explained. Ettestad said many school districts are poor.

TEMPLE BANK PAYS Paymnt of a 10 per cent dividend to pay $700 a year in high school tui-|to depositors of the Security Bank so they are unable to do it. Martin Opposes Bill Pending a call of the house and the sergeant at arms was sent to look up Senator Martin. An hour later he returned with the veteran from Mor- ton county and the bill passed, 29 to 20. Martin voted against it. Another argument resulted on a bill outlining a standard procedure for advertising for bids and letting contracts for public buildings. Some objection was made to it on the ground that it would create a monop- oly for architects and raise the cost of architectural services. After sev- eral amendments it passed, 28 to 20. The highway police bill provoked the last battle of the long sitting. Patterson objected to it on the ground that it was “just another bill to put some more people on the pay- roll and add to the expense.” Cain said that, if Patterson had served on three coroner's juries in his county last summer he would know that highway police are needed to curb reckless‘ driving. If this is done, a long step will have been taken toward reducing accidents. Cain mentioned drunken drivers as one menace to be removed and Ham- ilton asked why not enforce the pro- hibition laws inctead of putting on highway police. 91 Killed in N. D. 8. J. Atkins, who with Cain spon- sored the bill, said 91 North Dakotans were killed in highway accidents in 1928, hundreds crippled or maimed and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property destroyed. He said if people didn’t buy illicit liquor there would be no one to sell it and charged that innocent people are being mur- dered by persons with automobiles all over the state. Kttestad said everyone, except those driving cars incapable of doing it, vio- lates the speed law and that the state could better spend the money to build roads than to police them. Peck said two men patrol the Bis- marck-Mandan highway, the most dangerous road in the state and the one with a greater percentage of ac- cidents than any other in the state. He asked what 25 men, proposed in the bill, could do to cover 8,000 miles. lection of a device and that the bill Frank Hyland,-Ramsey county, said Man bets on himself EB ait fathead of hatte we'd be wil to stoc’ gone way up, That nase worth more co the’ people you work for—and to yourself.
