Eliminate Maximum Payment Other changes in the bill eliminate the feature of a maximum annual payment of $300, retaining only the provision that monthly pension to any one person shall not exceed $25. Blind persons without adequate means of support and those nearly blind, who are unable to earn a live- lihood, are eligible to the pension. Barred from receiving benefits under the act are inmates of any charitable institution, and those re- ceiving pensions from the federal state governments or subdivisons, though county boards are empowere: to supplement any such pension, pro- vided the total does not exceed $25 monthly. Regaining of sight, after receiving the pension, automatically ends payment of pension to the per- son under terms of the bill. To Act on Session Costs Approved after joshing comments ‘between legislators, in contrast to the factional fight which first greeted the measure, house bill 130—provid- ing for appropriation of $8,500 to de- fray costs of last July's special ses- sion, will come on the floor of the house Friday for final passage. The committee of the whole by majority ‘vote, approved the bill for passage. Ben Gilbertson of Stutsman moved indefinite postponement of the bill Thursday, only to be greeted with chuckling laughter, as the majority strength went solidly behind their floor leader, W. J. Godwin of Morton, to vote the motion down. A few mo- ments later, the same majority power approved the bill for passage. Maintaining the proposal would in- crease state revenue from sale of beer in the state by more than $50,000, Godwin Thursday introduced a bill calling for an increase of beer whole- saler’s licenses from $300 to $500 an- nually. The bill was referred to the temperance committee. Shafer Will Speak at Mott Court of Honor Mott, N. D., Feb. 14—Former Gov- ernor George F.

CONTINUED from page one Co-Operative Farm Lobby Proposal Is Passed by Senate “not class legislation—all North Da- kotans are dependent on agriculture.” Though he said he favored the in- tent of the commission, Ole Ettestad of McHenry stated “an appropria- tion by the state for lobby purposes was wrong and probably unconstitu- tional.” Watt contended farmers are well represented, pointing to the Farmers Union, the National Grange and add- ing that the Farm Bureau has hade one of the “strongest lobbies” in Washington. Replying to a move by J. E. East- gate of Grand Forks to defer action pending an attorney general's ‘opin- jon, Greene of Stutsman said the measure was drawn by an assistant attorney general who formerly was & supreme court judge. Tired of Legalities “Sick and tired of having consti- tutionality brought up,” was the way himself. He sed very effectively, that ime it came in very handy must be borne by the state. 8.

The recommendation was made in} the report of the sub-committee on education of which Senator J. P. Cain of Stark is chairman. In the report it was asserted a sales tax measure “may not be a safe suspend its operation and then would not produce needed income immed- iately.” Recommendations of sources of in- come for the state equalization fund to produce emergency funds to keep the schools in operation, with the the governor as under present laws. Provision also is made “actuarial computation shall govern the amount of the annuities” to be paid. Resolutions adopted, still needing house action, were those urging con- struction of a federal relief project bridge across the Little Missouri in Dunn county, and giving the board of university and school lands power to compromise claims resifiting from investments. Controversy arose in action on a measure to exempt banks from fur- nishing bonds to secure deposits of Public monies es far as the deposit is Secured under the FDIC. The bill was indefinitely postponed by vote of 25 to 17. In opposition to the bill O. E. Erickson said “chain banks would be soliciting the deposits of school dis- tricts which are now coming to the Bank of North Daktoa” with Harry Peterson of Mountrail declaring the bond “practically prohibits local banks from taking deposits.” Senator Watt said he favored the measure on the grounds of “econ- omy” and stated that “it merely re- Neves the banks from paying money to bonding companies for something: that is already done under the FDIC which insures deposits up to a certain ‘from page one- amount.” co D Convicted Killer Hopes for Appeal To Save His Life They questioned him in vain, hoping to learn of friends or fraternal or- ganizations which might help, and’ then expressed hope the public would aid. Edward J. Reilly, chief of defense; counsel, estimated the cost of carry- | ing the fight through higher courts at $25,000. In a death conviction, however, the defense is permitted to ask the court | to have the county pay legal costs, in- | cluding preparation of the record.; Egbert Rosecrans, assistant defense | counsel, said such an order probably would be sought next week. Need From $8,500 to $11,000 The financing of other appeal ex- Penses was what worried the defense attorneys. Reilly estimated the amount needed at $8,500 and C. Lloyd Fisher fixed it at $11,000. 4 Hauptmann, pale and restless, paced his brightly lighted cell while he NTINUE out, he said, but he felt “all right.” “Absolutely, I am innocent,” he said. the beginning. “If they were to come to me in my cell now and say, ‘you would go free if you would tell the whole truth,’ I would say, ‘I told you everything I know on the witness stand.’ “The state,” he complained bitterly, ‘tried to show only the bad things about me.... the state wants to take my life for nothing.” Attic Board ‘Ridiculous’ “The most ridiculous thing in the whole trial,” he declared, “was the board in the attic.

Hauptmann was asked whether he thought the presence of Colonel Lind- bergh had any influence on the jury. “Naturally,” he replied.
