take a two-thirds vote, and the chair ruled
otherwise. The motion prevailed, and the

final passage.
SENATOR LAMOURE wanted it made
a SPIT cial order on st. Patrick's day, and if
not on that day, then on the senator's ma
tional day-the 18th of May.
SENATOR LAMB opposed the bill. 1t
looked to him as though the bill was intro

chant mills of the state. Custom mills
could not possibly operate under it. At
the present price of wheat the miller would
only get s cents q bushel for grinding.

association of this state as the most extor-
tionate institution in North Dakota.
SENATOR SORLEY believed that Sena-
tor Hitler must be working in the interests
of the millers association. Nobody would
erect a mill in the state with such a law on

on the tWenty-SecOnd day. The prOviSO was
put in by tine committee OF Senator Greg

ton 538 required the railroad companies to
construct platforms every twelve miles if
SO ordered by the railroad commissioners.
Adopted.
SENATOR PARKIN wanted to nave 5S6
stricken out. 1t related to the coal rate.
SENATOR GREGORY supported the
section. He said that the committee had
considered this section very carefully and
were satisfied that it was constitutional
and good. He insisted that some such pro-
vision as is embraced in this section was
necessary in order to secure a rate for coal
which would bring on stores of native coal
to the homes of the people. The senator
said he was interested in a coal mine and
would not vote except By the consent of
the senate. The senate consented.
SENATOR LAMOURE said the late rail-
road commissioners had established a rate
which the Northern Pacific is working I'M
der, and he was opposed to section $50.

for his measure, which is now before the
senate awaiting action, and he supported
Senator Parkin'S amendment.
The amendment was lost.

the scalpers' act sought to amend the
clause which makes it a m~isdemeanor for

without a license. The senator said he
desired to eliminate the feature of The law
making it a crime to use an unused part of
a ticket which he had purchased in good
faith.
The amendment was lost.
SENATOR STEVENS also sought to
change the law of guardianship so that a
child may be bound to its 18th year, instead
OF to its majority.
SENATOR S0RLEY opposed the amend
ment, and claimed that the 18th year of a
child is too early an age to throw it out
upon the world and its temptations. The
law as 1t stands is in the interests of the
child.
SENATOR HITLER considered the law
as 1t now stands is a relic of twenty years
ago. He had investigated the laws of other
states and was satisfied that the law as it
now stands is a disgrace. The amendment
was lost.

Sections 57S and 578 by adding the words
