1t Failed 10 Pass.
A bill offered by Senator Ringdal,a and
which he sought to have passed under q
suspension OF the rules. called several
senators to their feet with amaZement
on their faces. The bill proposes to
authorize district judges to appoint as
slStantS to the county attorney at sal
airy not to exceed SO per day. If
passed the law would doubtless give
great powers TO district Judges all over
the state, as there was no restriction as
to circumstances.
Senator Ringdal explained that it was
desirable 10 give the Judge in the Four
teenth judicial district power to appoint
any member of the bar 10 assist the
county attorney before the grand jury
anu in court in the prosecution of Of
tenders i'll the vicinity of Grand Forks.
lie said the bill had been drawn by re-
uest OF Judge Ives. of CrOOkStOn. The
need of all assistant county attorney is
emphasized by the fact that the terrl>
tory is close 10 the Dakota line, and It is
difficult to prosecute offenders who Of
fend against the LIQUOR license law.
After the bill had been read third
time and was about 10 be put upon its
final passage Senator Morgan made an
inquiry as to the urgent need OF imme-
dlate passage.
Senator Ringdal stated that he had
seen the governor, and while not recon-
mending the immediate passage the
chief executive had commended the
purpose of checking evi-doing.
Senator Keller expressed doubt as TO
the advisabliity Of pushing the bill
through at once,
Senator Stevens suggested that the
bill be referred To the judiciary commit
tee for consideration OF the latitude
given by ii. Several senators protested
against the hurry, ana Senator Ringdal
consented TO a reference to the judiciary
committee.
POttgieser,s Bill
Senator Pottgleser introduced his low
license bill. 1t is designed 10 change
the law so that the minimum license i'll
the three large cities of the state may
be $500. He claims that he favors
high license, but believes it should be
within the power of the common cOun-
ell to make the license as low as $500.
With this i'll view he asks that Sec. /,
Chap. ) of the General Laws of 1887 be
amended so as TO read as follows:
No license for the sale of Intoxicating
LIQUORS shall he granted by the municl-
pal authorities Of any city in this state

100000 persons or more, under the laws

charter of such city regulating the same
until the person applying for the same.
