Another outstanding bill among the 18 introduced during the day was of- fered by -M. H. Lynch of Richland county, an Independent, repealing the present law requiring assessors to register voters as to party affilia- ation at assessment time. At the last session the same proposal passed the house, but was killed in the sen- ate. Under provisions of this bill, voters would designate what party ballot they wish when they appear at the polls. The bill reducing sheriffs’ mileage fees, the cause of lively debate prior to its passage by the house Tuesday, was unanimously .voted for reconsid- eration. Sponsors of the bill found that under its provisions they had inadvertently raised. the sheriffs’ mileage fee in cases where a railroad train was the means of conveyance. ‘The bill was sent back to the commit- tee on state affairs.

R. R. Gibbens of Towner county and John K. Olafson of Pembina county offered a proposal to create an office of chief inspector to be in charge of the present department of weights and measures.

Will Have No Recognized Party in Majority Since Demo- cratic Gains By KIRKE SIMPSON ‘Washington, Jan. 29.—()—The most baffling political situation party lead- ers in congress have ever fated wil) confront them when the seventy second congress meets, be it in regular or special session. That fact underlies the tensity of the closing hours of the seventy-first congress. It accounts for administra- tion opposition to convoking ‘the sev- enty-second congress in special ses- sion. It gives added significance to repeated, bitter clashes between Presi- dent Hoover and the senate. The seventy-second congress will Pave the way for the presidential elec- oo ae one Leaders will attempt le party issues and map the strategy for that campaign. Yet no man can say now which Party will effectively control, or what Coalitions may arise to dominate that. congress. Death itself may hold the balance of power. It will be the first time in his- tory that the American scheme of two-party political alignment has faced the test of hair-trigger ma- Jorities in senate and house simul- taneously. There is no precedent back to the first congress, Nominally the Republicans have a one-vote over-all’ margin in. each house of the new congress, despite two {deaths in the house and two in the elections, the only means by which house. members may ‘be chosen, are expected to return two other New York City Democrats to the house va- cancies, A Republican already has replaced Greene, Republican, from Ver- mont in senate, and a Democrat cra ag rman of North Caro- Appointive Powers Shift In four states, however, each with two Republican senators sitting, Dem- ocrats have replaced Republicans as governors since election and now wield ,. the appointive power. In a fifth state, with one Republican and one Demo- cratic senator, there has been a simi- lar shift of appointive power. In enother, with a Republican’ and @ Farmer-Labor senator, a Farmer- Labor governor has relieved a Repub- lican. In still another, with two Re-- Publican senators, an independent. governor has taken over from a Re- Publican. In one state, with two Re- publican senators, a Republican gov- ernor has replaced a Democrat. Any of these shifts of appoint- vial beating on party allgament ig on party alignment in the senate at any time. | - As it now stands the Republican | majority of one rests only on the con-! stitutional power of the vice president | to vote in case of a tie, | Yet this is-merely the statistical, the | nominal picture of the situation in the | seventy-second congress. In fact, few important legislative issues in years have been decided on strict party lines in either house. Party Lines Never Even There always is a fringe of normal Tegulars:among both Republicans and Democrats who stray over the party dividing Jine on specific votes. Even that would be sufficient to determine the result in either house of the next congress. It -has been unimportant in the sev- enty-first congress because of the size of the regular Republican majority in the house. That always has been: big enough to engulf the wandering vote enty>second congress, More‘ important has been the split.on the Republican side in the senate which. threw le; control, except in rare cases, inte hands of a Democratic-insurgent poy raiagh oma Democratic lections in Republican regulars offset that only in final | Stages of the tariff fight. | Again, however, Republican leader-| | ship was able to rely on the house ma- jority either to defeat in conference or to modify sharply senate coalition j Measures not in harmony with ad- ministration views. The senate growled | but ultimately yielded. : ‘This last legislative ditch will be missing in the seventy-second con- gress, Rural Areas Dominate | Still the picture is incomplete. In the seventy-first congress it has been calculated that 268 members repre-' sent ‘rural constituencies from 44/ states, while 160 represent urban dis-| tricts in 35 states: The other 17 mem- |bers were elected at large. The 1930 census shows the distribu- |tion of population to be, roughly, 69 million urban, 54 million rural.
