It killed 61 bills, either in committee or on the floor of the house. Of this number only one admin- istration measure was killed. That was the bill for a bureau of criminal apprehension and identification. A substitute for it was passed Tuesday in a bill to create a superintendent of criminal identification. The house cleared its calendar of 15 bills Tuesday, the fiftieth day of tk> assembly and the final one for sending house bills to the senate. An evening session was held to complete the calendar. Among the bills passed’ was the Horner bill to place an added 1-cent tax on gasoline, proceeds to go to the counties rather than the state. T'wo bills were killed. One was the amended McCay bill which would re- quire a two-thirds majority vote for all county seat removals in the state. The other would permit the commis- sioner of insurance to brokerage ex- cess insurance with private com- panics. Debate Three Bills Lively fights came on the floor + over the Horner and McCay Diils. The bill to create a superintendent of criminal identification also caused debate. Unexpectedly the house passed without discussion a measure to pass a annual tax on dogs of $1 for each male animal and $2 for each female. Representi.cives Lynch, Richland county, and Mau, Rar.zom county, led a@ determined effort to defeat the Horner bill, both in the committee of the whole and on the floor of the house. Lynch maintained that eventually a tax which would turn part of the prccceds to the counties should pass, but the time for such legislation had not come. He pointed out that re- tiring Governor Walter Maddock in his farewell message had recom- mended that added tax be given to the state highway department and that Governor George F. Shafer in his inaugural, though he favored a tax going to the counties, had said that the highway department had need of added funds. Mau contended that it sousgit to evade the initiated measure of 1926 and yet in spirit would amend that measure. The bill was so drafted as yo require only a majority vote, wh:.eas amendment of the initiated measure would require a two-thirds majority, he asserted. Need Federal Aid Lyneh declared further that the need of the state is to complete its present system of highways rather than to build up its county roads. He said that President Coolidge had recommended to congress the discon- tinuance of federal aid and that North Dakota should continue its rg road work while it has federal L. L. Twichell, Cass county, replied shat North Dakota need not become concerned about federal aid discon- tinuance. Congress, as a matter of Politics if for nothing else, would not vepeal the present law, he ccid. Le maintained further that the state should not co too fast in developing its state highways, but should con- sider its county roads as well. C. D. Dickerson, Renville county, said that persons opposing this bill hd never driven over county roads or they would realize the nocd of turning funds back to the counties. J. M. Thompson, Burleigh county, urged a county tax for the sake of the farmers. County roads are for the use of the farmer in reaching the main highways, and his need should be considered, he said. Mau contended further that pas- sage of the Horner bill would violate the present law. He said that the question was not one of whether the tax should go to the county or the stat>, but whether the legislature should enact a measure contrary to NOTICE OF MOI CLOSURE .

Inci- dentally, this is quite the proper thing in hunting garb—in Spain. an initiated measure without directly amcnding the initiated measure. Twichell Cites Difference The Horner bill concerned money to be turned back to the counties and not money to go to the state, and is therefore different from the initiated measure, Twichell responded. H. F. Horner, Cass county, author of the bill, urged its passage on the grounds that if a similar bill nassed by the senate is killed by the house, this bill would still be left for con- sideration by. the senate. Objection to the bill to creaie a state superintendent of criminal iden- tification was based chief!y on the fact that it would provide salary and office expenses of the superintendent out of the twine and cordage operat- ing fund of the state prison rather than out of the state prison revolving fund. O. E. Erickson, Kidder county, and Albert Van Berkom, Burke county, opposed the bill. George Aljets, Wells county, sug- gested appointment of the superin- tendent by the prison warden rather than by the governor in order to avoid possible conflict between the superintendent and warden. Twich- ell maintained that the identifica- tion department would be a separate department and that the appoint- ment could not logically be in the hands of the warden. Fight County Seat Bill J. H. McCay, Sioux county, fought the committee amendment to his bill for right to move the county seat of Sioux county by a majority vote. The amendme-t sought to require all counties in the state, whether or not their county seat is located on a rail- road, to move their county seat only by a two-thirds vote. McCay contended that the amend- ment was entirely contrary to his purpose in introducing the bill and that it would work a hardship on the four counties of the state which now have a right to move their county seats by majority vote. The amendment was approved in the committee of the whole, however, by @ 51-49 vote. C. Sax, Mckenzie county, opposed the amended bill upon its appearance on the calendar for final He asked the house why it should penalize four counties of the state because one county wanted to be placed in the same class with them. His motion for indefinite postpone- ment of the bill was carried 56-33.

BUTTER SUBSTITUTE BILL IS CONSIDERED Arguments on the proposal to es- tablish a license tax on the sale of oleomargarine.in North Dakota were heard by the senate state affairs committee today. Dr. J. 8. Abbott of Washington, D. C., secretary of the margarine manu- facturer’s institute of America; W. S. Powell, Fargo, secretary of the North Dakota Retail Dealers Asso- ciation, and J. H. Kennedy. Fargo jobber, appeared against the bill. Dairymen of the state,/who are advocating the measure, were repre- sented by Attorney John Sullivan of Mandan. Sullivan admitted that the bill is designed to promote and increase the consumption of butter and, if not to raise butter prices, to maintain them at the present level. Abbott and others contended that assage of the bill would work a rdship on poor persons who cannot afford to buy butter but who can buy margarine because it is cheaper in price, WHEN COUGHS ARE STUBBORN ‘When colds hang on, and coughs are stubborn, remember the effective- hess of Foley’s Honey and Tar Com- pound.

CURDY SUES HUGHES FOR $75,000 Charges He Was Libeled When Accused of Violating Oath of Office F. E. McCurdy, former Burleigh county state's attorney, has begun suit for $75,000 damages against Edmond A. Hughes, local capitalist. McCurdy charges that he was libel- e* Jan. 12 when the defendant initi- ated disbarment proceedings against him and caused references to the proceedings to be published in the Bismarck Tribune and by the Associ- ated Press and broadcast over radio station KFYR. He is asking $25,000 actual damages and $50,000 exemplary and punitive damages. Hughes filed a complaint charging McCurdy with abandoning the inter- ests of his clients in the Patterson tax case with the state bar board Jan. 12. McCurdy charges that Hughes ac- cused him of violating his oath and integrity as an attorney at law by selling out his clients. He says the defendant intended to cause the gen- eral public to believe that he, Mc- Curdy, was dishonest and unfaithful to his trust as an attorney. He further charges that the pub- lication was false and defamatory and was made maliciously and with full knowledge on the part of Hughes that it was false. Hughes, when he learned of the suit yesterday, said that he welcomed the action and desired that the case be brought to trial as expeditiously as possible. Hughes has retained O'Hare, Cox and Cox as legal counsel. It is be- lieved McCurdy himself will represent his case in court. SECOND ‘DEATH CAR’ BELIEVED PLANTED Automobile Partially Demol- ished by Blast Thought Mas- sacre Butchers’ Stunt Chicago, Feb. 27.—(?)—The second automobile to be investigated by the police on a theory that it might have been the car used by the slayers of seven members of the Moran gang was found today in Maywood, @ suburb. It had been partly demolished, ap- parently from an explosion and was standing in the street. In it the Police found a notebook bearing the name of Al Weinshank, one of the men slain, and Ted Newbury, one of the suspects sought for questioning, along with several shotgun shells, a cap and a suit of overalls. The paliee believed that dynamite had been placed under the-hood. Because of the names, shotgun shells and other clues left in the machine, the police were skeptical, be- lieving the automobile to have been “planted” purposely to mislead them. They have about reached the same conclusion concerning a dismantled car found last week in a burning garage and at first thought to have been the death car.
