Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1892-06-10

cause his constituency demanded that
no further appropriation be made.
Mr.. Almen believed that a majority OF
the farmers Of the state were opposed to
the measure.
Mr.. Kinter also opposed the measure.
He claimed that the last legislature was
very extravaganza. It appropriated &c..
600 for clerk hire for state officials,
much of which is wasted. It was repre-
sented that this clerk hire appropriation
was necessary. But our state officers
have been perambulating all over the
United States during the past year
scarcely a day that they have been
found in the capital city, where they are
supposed to be. 1t ought to be binding
on them to reside in the capital-it
should be a contract they should make.
IT these offices can be run by one man,
why should there be more than one paid
to run them? The senate spent more
for clerks than the per diem of its men,
bers came to. Let the railroads-the
land owners and the mon who will be
benefited, pay the money.
The bill was then passed by the fol-
lowing vote: Aye-Bidlake, Cashel,
Engle, Fuller, Haggart, johnson of
Trail, johnson of Ward, Kuhn, Little,
Mccormack of Grand Forks, McCor-
mick of Ramsey, McGillivray, Miller,
Palmer, Patch, Svennungsen, Svensrud
and Worst, IS. Those who voted no
were Almen, Bisbee, Bjorjo, Brynjolfson,
Enger, Ink, Kinter, Nelson, Pinkham
and Weiser, 10.
Mr.. KINTER then moved that it is
the of this body that the Worlds
Fair, be closed on Sunday, and that no
intoxicating liquors be sold on any day
of the week.
The question was divided, and after
some discussion the Sunday feature was
voted down, and the Intoxicating liquor
clause prevailed.
Mr.. LAHORE moved that the senators
donate their per diem and mileage to
the Worlds Fair. In the absence of
other business this subject was discussed
and then tabled.
FIRST AND sECoND READING OF HOUSE
House bill No. l, providing for the
election of presidential electors, state,
district and county officers, and the man
ner Of calling and giving notice of the
same. Referred to the committee on
elections.
When house bill No. ia bill for an
act to amend sections l and 2 of chapter
1913 of the laws of 1890, providing for the
erection of platforms by railroads) was
brought up, there was a breeze.
Mr.. Little said the senate had passed a
resolution declaring that they would
take up no measures except those which
were referred to in Governor Burke's
call. He was opposed to the considera-
ton of this measure. All state constitu-
tions and our own constitution prac-
tically, says that no measure shall be
acted on at a special legislative session,
except those that are specified in the
call. It is a dangerous precedent to set.
He did not care what measure it was, he
was on principle opposed to its consider
alton:
Mr.. Mccormack, of Grand Forks, and
Kinter wanted to take up the measure,
and it was read the first and second
time, and referred to the committee on
railroads.
House bill No. 5, fixing compensation
of electors of president and vice-presi-
dent, referred to committee on appro-
priations.
House bill No. 6, appropriating money
to pay electors per diem and mileage,
was referred to committee on appro-
priations. "
The senate adjourned to 10 O'Clock
this morning.
