Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1890-03-14

whereby we can carry into effectth the object
OF the resolution other than the acceptance
of the proposal to which attention has
been called. We have also attached to this
report a copy of the proposed bill COM
monty known as senate bill 1877, altered in
the requirements of said proposition.
In regard to the details of distributing
of the wheat, of it being obtained in the
manner herein indicated, we haye this to
say: that we consider the boards of county
commissioners of the several counties the
proper medium through which to make
such distribution, and should expect that
some provision be made by the several
counties receiving relief for the printing OF
the necessary blanks in the form of appli-
cations or otherwise, to carry into effect
the scheme of distribution proposed.
To our minds the main thing is to get
the wheat into the hands of the farmer in
time that he may have crop the coming
season. Much has been said, and much
may be said as to the moral question in
volved in the proposed legislation. We
leave the discussion of that question to the
proper forum. To us, acting in the dis
charge of what we conceive to be our duty,
we most consciently and heartily urgeious
the passage of the bill and the acceptance
of the aforesaid proposition.

BY GEO. E. SPENCER,
Attorney.
Mr.. MCCORMICK moved that the report
be printed in the journal and referred to
the committee on state affairs.
Mr.. STEVENS moved as a substitute
that the report be laid upon the table for
the present and published in the journal.
The substitute motion was adopted.
Mr.. ZIMMER moved that the request of
the senate be complied with and that house
bill 254 be returned to the senate for cor
rection. Carried.
House bill 3l8, amending law relating to
ransfer of unexpended balances in count y
funds-passed-5O too.
House pill 81, defining a newspaper
paSSed-4S to 2.
House bill s2o, relating to examinations
for admission to practice as an attorney
passed-48 too.
House bill 6S, providing for incorpora-
ton of parishes Of Episcopal church, was
read the third time.
The committee on judiciary reported in
favor of indefinite postponement of the
bill.
Mr.. THOMPSON of Cass opposed the
passage Of the bill and SAID: "! am opposed
to this bill because it is special legislation,
and because it is contrary to the statutes
of the United States, which limits the
amount Of property which any church or
ganizatiOn shall hold. We have already a
very good law for the Incorporation of
these institutions. If we legislate for one
particular association, we must legislate
for all associations. The constitution pro-
vides that there may be a general law
under which all benevolent associations or
corporations may come. Not only is this
special legislation, but it is precedent
and other associations or organizations
