Coman testified he authorized “no one” to withdraw the bid. Coman termed it a “funny deal” and Flannigan testified that con- reason he was in a penalty status, that he had a job completed, and that it was because of lack of a “little sand that didn’t amonut to anything.” On Penalty Status Flannigan testified that Coman had been in a penalty status before and that bids were withheld because of » Coman agreed.

Jan, 16, 1936 Editor, Bismarck Tribune; In justice to house renters of Bis- marck, I wish to comment briefly on an item that appeared in The Tribune of Jan..14, Rep. R. W. Fraz- ier of Divide county said, “he was already fed up on the legislative job, as it cost $80 dollars a month for house and heat in Bismarck, before \he has any food on the table.” I don’t know what kind of a house Mr. Frazier rented or its location, but unless it is in the very best resi- dential district and the very best and largest house in the district, he is paying entirely too much. I have a modern five-room house with bath, hot and cold water, electric lights, gas heat and cooking that I rent for $32 per month and the gas cost last winter, which was exceptionally cold, was $11 per month on an average, The location of my house is good for a capitol employe as it is eight blocks from the boulevard, on paved @szeet, just a nice walk for one who has been holding down a chair all day, or with auto the distance would not be noticed. The house is not for tent, however, as the same tenant has occupied it for nearly two years. HOUSE OWNER AND RENTER.

William Langer, when he at- tends the presidential inauguration at Washington next week, will carry with him a resolution of the legisla- ture calling attention of President Roosevelt to the need of federal funds for human relief and livestock feed in North Dakota. In connection with the resolution as originally passed, Republicans and Nonpartisan League members of the senate obtained a hearty laugh at the expense of the Democrats. As passed, after Senator E. F. Mutchler of Oliver county read and introduced the resolution from the floor of the senate, the attention of the president is called to “pledges which he made prior to the election; that the people of North Dakota should not suffer for the necessities of life and for feed for their stock.” The Democratic members overlooked the reference to the “pledges.” However, committees named from both houses to present the resolution to the governor, amended it and elim- inated reference to the pledges, to the satisfaction of the Democrats, The senate received @ communica- tion from the Flasher local of the Farmers Union, urging passage of leg- islation to abolish compulsory mili- tary training in. North Dakota col- leges, Senator A. W. Fowler of Cass in-| ters. formed the senate that G. J. Gullick- son, Grand Forks artist, had painted @ copy from the original painting of the declaration of independence, and desired to present it to the senate to be hung in the chamber. A commit- tee was appointed to view the paint- ing and report back. Much discussed in legislative corri- dors is Governor Langer’s moratorium proclamation against foreclosures. Some sources close to the chief ex- ecutive indicated that it would re- main in effect until and unless the legislature amends the present legal moratorium statute passed two years ago in @ manner agreeable to Mr. Langer. The governor would favor establishment of a commissioner to handle all foreclosure appeals. Referred to the committee on military affairs in the house was & resolution introduced in the house asking congress to propose for rati- fication by the various states of a constitutional amendment providing that a declaration of war must be ratified by a nation-wide referendum. Conscription of private property necessary for the conduct of war dur- ing times of war also is asked in the proposal. Following a conference with a del- egation of Sioux Indians and various relief authorities, the house commit- tee appointed to investigate the re- lief troubles of the Indians reported any complaints “would soon be over- come” and that the relief troubles among the Indians were about the same as all relief clients are ex- periencing.
