as 10 snow CnaC Cne investigating COM
mittee called for by MI. Twichell's mo-
ton Of the previous day was to investi-
gate the charge that President Worst
had drawn two salaries while acting as
Acknowledgements, $3.50 as such Of
ficer and $500 as president of the
North Dakota agricultural college,; and
he made amotion for such correction.
Mr.. Twichell said that he desired to
amend by adding the words: "From the
state" M
Mr.. LaMoure replied that he had been
paying taxes in North Dakota for thirty
years, but he had never claimed to "
the agricultural college. Some refer to it
as Fargo's college. He supposed it be-
longed to the state. What he claimed is
that John H. Worst had no legal right
to draw the $500 while acting as lieu
tenant governor.
Mr.. Twichell said he was not here to
defend Mr.. Worst, but he wanted to see
no injustice done him. That he was not
guilty of drawing two salaries from the
state for the evident reason that his
services as president of the college were
paid by the general government by
mean of an appropriation.
Mr.. LaMoure's motion for the correc-
ton carried. The investigating commit
tee was named later by President De-
x:oo Mo,ava Chor~o Coo~ov Coy A~,o,
and Laidlaw.
Mr.. Little presented a petition signed
by John Delmer and fifty others asking
for the passage of a law requiring that
