SENATOR LAMOURE rose to a ques-
ton Of privilege, and said that some
time ago the senate passed a measure
providing for a gross earnings tax on
railroads, and today we have on our
statute books no measure by which Jul
people can collect their full value of
taxes. Certainly the state will not re-
ceive it's share, and that the many i sti-
tutions we have cannot be sustained
without going in debt.
SENATORS HITLER and MoCar-
ten replied briefly to Senator LaMoure.
h SUPREME CoURT
Senate bill No. 121 came up from the
house with amendments, locating the
sessions of the supreme court at Fargo
instead of Bismarck. The senate de.
oided not to concur, and a conference
committee was appointed. The result
of the conference was that Bismarck is
the place at which the supreme court
will hold it's session in future.
HOUSE BILLS LOST.
House bill No. 81 (Murphy): Provid-
ing for an appropriation to aid commits
sioner Of agriculture and labor in pro.
noting immigration. Indefinitely post
poned.
House bill No. IT'S (Wineman): Relat.
ing to the keeping of marriage records.
Raising the fee to 50.
SENATOR ROURKE opposed the
bill. He said this law amends a repealed
DILL. Indefinitely posted.
COUNTY BOUNDARIES.
House bill No.i173 (Murphy): General
law changing the lines Of organized
counties and attaching unorganized
territory to organized counties.
I SENATOR GREGORY spoke in favor
Of the bill. There could be no objection
to it as special legislation; it Is fair and
gives every person who lives in the ter
ritory to be affected a chance to vote.
SENATOR McGILLIVRAY spoke
against it. He spoke about the big cat
tie men, the railroad land that will
escape taxation, and urged these things
against the bill. It virtually repsals
Senate bill No. "a.
SENATOR PARKIN referred to the
map on the wall and said the red tower
of Babel was the proposed county Of
Stark. The measure before the senate
is constitutional, and it gives the people
the choice of the county they will come
into. He had lived west of the Missouri
since 1872, and they will never, never,
never consent to Senate bill No. "a unless
they are compelled to by the supreme
: court. The object of House bill No. 173
g Sisg%to tax the people in the unorganized
ksy.
G5&OR LAMOURE said there are
az by people there escaping tax
aHtnS sesSEgEffeey never will apply for Q
animation. If this long strip Of red
will make these men pay taxes he fav-
ored the strip of red. The bill is got up
solely for the purpose of beating the
state out of taxes
SENATOR GREGORY denied that
that was the purpose of the bill. 1t is
not true that it will repeal the Stark
county bill. There is a grave question
whether or not the Stark county bill ie
constitutional. If it is not constitutional
then the Ward county and Williams
county bills are unconstitutional and
all that county is u~norganized. This
bill, No. 173, is constitutional and should
be passed.
SENATOR McGILLIVRAY said he
had lived with the cattle men for 13
years and the only way to get them in ia
