$s) 4 MILL COMMISSION BILL TS APPROVED ~ BY CLOSE MARGIN; 1. V. A.’s Muster Bare Majority in House to Pass Measure Asked by Governor Polling a bare constitutional ma- | jority, the senate bill creating a com- mission to manage the state mill and elevator at Grand Forks passed the house Monday, The vote was 57 for and 53 against, with three members absent. The governor now manages the mill. The vote was strictly along party lines, with one exception. George Worner, Richland county I. V. A.,! voted against the measure, thus re-/ ducing the Independent majority of 58 to the bare constitutional majority ‘necessary for passage of a bill. The house toiled diligently on its calendar and when it recessed at 6:30 p. m. it had passed 34 bills. Little discussion was had on the mill management measure. H. F. Swett, Kidder Nonpartisan, opposed | jcommittee of six senators and six the bill on the ground that a com- mission form of management would encourage and make rampant politi- cal patronage and also add greatly to the industry's operating expenses. ‘Swett said that with three commis- | _committee will examine activities of sioners in charge, no single person could be held responsible for its management, He added the salaries and other expenses of the commis- sioners would place an additional cost burden of $20,000 on the plant. An attempt by H. M. Henrickson of McHenry county to obtain unani- mous consent to amend the bill was unsuccessful. His amendment would have required the commission to con- fine its activities within a period of 60 working days. Goes to Governor The bill now goes to the governor for his signature, a certainty as the proposal is one earnestly advocated by the administration. The governor will appoint a commission of three members, who arc to assume their duties on July 1, Each commissioner will receive $10 per day for actual per- formance rendered, together with} traveling expenses. - Another controversial measure to pass was one authorizing the state mill and elevator association to pay a judgment of $12,000 to Knute Bak- ken, now a farmer near Velva, for alleged injuries received when a num- ber of sacks fell upon him while work- ‘ing in the Drake mill. Bakken's case did not come under the workmen's compensation bureau and he resorted to court action. Awarded a judgment in district court, the state appealed to the supreme zourt which sustained the judgment. Supporters of the bill held that it was ati obligation which the courts held the state owed and should be paid. L. L. Twichell, Independent leader, stated the question was not whether the man deserved the money, as the courts had already decided on that phase of the case. Henrickson Opposed Bill H. M. Henrickson, McHenry, Non- partisan, opposed the bil and de- clared he had known Bakken for nearly 40 years and he had not suf- fered an injury sufficient to war- rant payment of the judgment. Those to vote against the bill fol- iow: Acheson, Akan, Anderson, Anfin- ton, Asleson, Bittner, Carothers, Craig, Crockett, Dahl, Dilland, Dyer, Erickson of Benson, Erickson of Kid- der, Hanson, Henrickson of McHenry, Hill, Isaak, Kapfer, Keierleber, Lem * ke, Lavik, Lehr, Lofthus, Martin of Bottineau, McCay, McColl, McManus. Niewoehner, Ostrem, Owings, Qualey, Sax, Savre, Scholl, Schurr, Sprenger, Stoa, Sundby ‘of Renville, Svingen, Treffry, Twete, and Wolf. Butt, Carlson, Opdahl and Marfin of Williams, all Nonpartisans, were absent. Senator Bonzer’s bill regulating operation, of motor vehicles on state highways was another bill to receive much discussion before passing 97 to 9. The bill also was amended on the floor to prohibit traveling on high- ways of vehicles having a gross weight greater than 20,000 pounds. An administration measure to re- ceive. favorable consideration was one creating an industrial survey commis- sion. It passed 80 to 30, carrying with it an emergency clause. Several Others Passed Among the other bills passed were those revising the habitual criminal act; making use of slugs in vending machines a misdemeanor; providing for a commission to ascertain the condition of the teachers’ insurance and retirement fund; requiring that school years have a minimum dura- tion of eight months, authorizing county or district mutual insurance companies to reinsure their risks. Providing for a penalty of not more than six months imprisonment and $1,000 fine for divulging contents of telephone or telegraph messages; making it mandatory for a township board to call an election when one~ third of the voters in a township ask for dissolution of the township; in- creasing the salary of the state tran- sportation officer from $1,800 to $2,400 annually; permitting state fire mar- shal to appoint his own assistants.

MINNESOTANS WILL INVESTIGATE BUREAU Rural Credits Office Will Be Probed Following Adoption of Resolution St. Paul, March 3.—()—A legisla- tive investigation of the state rural credits bureau was assured Monday when the Minnesota house passed a concurrent resolution providing for a representatives to make the inquiry. | ‘The action was unanimous, and the senate already had approved the reso- Jution, | Under the resolution, the joint the bureau with a view toward rec- ommending any legislation deemed | necessary. Governor Floyd B. Olson already has instituted a special sur-; vey of the bureau. It will be the second legislative in- vestigation of the bureau. The first was in 1925 and resulted in some criticism of loans made by the bu- Teau. Disregarding the recommendation of its public domain committee that the $50,000,000 water power bond is- sue be indefinitely postponed, the house voted, 73 to 55, to adopt the minority report. As a result, the bill, providing for a constitutional amend- ment for the bond issue to develop State water power resources, was order of business.

Dr. Maurice Smith of the United States public health service, who came to Los Angeles to advise on the 108 cases previously reported in the county, said the extract in most in- stances was purchased in drug stores. Investigators working under Dr. J. L. Pomeroy, head of the county health board, are obtaining samples of ginger extract at drug stores for laboratory tests. The extract con- tains 80 to 85 per cent alcohol Dr. Pomeroy said, adding it is a violation of the prohibition laws to sell it as a beverage and a violation of the state and federal drug laws to mislabel the product as Jamaica ginger. The ex- tract which is causing the paralysis was found by the investigators to contain phenolester, an adulterant »ich supplants the ginger. Dr. Smith attributed the outbreak of the paralysis here to activitics of eastern extract bootleggers who are using the adulterant to make a cheaper product and shipping it here for sale.
