pie in the western part Of the state would
compare favorably in morals with those
in the eastern part, and as a moral peo-
pie nobody could get away from the peo-
pie Of all parts Of North Dakota.
Here some excitable spectator broke
into applause and Presidens Bartlett
called halt on demonstrations.
Mr.. jacobson said the amendment was
all right and was desired by the people
in the western part of the state. The
people in the eastern part of the state
would be benefited by it, for if some
such legislation were not enacted there
wouldn't be any deer left. for them to
hunt.
= Here Mr.. LaMoure moved recess un-
til this morning.
Mr.. Simpson started to oppose, and
was again called to order.
Then the Stark county statesman re-
marked that if he was not out of order,
he wanted to call to the attention of the
senate the unfairness of taking recess
before roll call was had on the amended
bill, but if he was out of order he would
not say it.
The brought down the house again,
but the motion to recess prevailed with
the amendment adopted but the bill not
acted upon.
THE COAL RATE BILL.
Mr. Cox also kept the atmosphere
torrid with demands during the after
noon for the sending of the coal rate bill
to the house.
This bill was passed the day before in
the senate, was not messaged down until
yesterday, when it required suspension
of the rules to receive it.
The house refused to suspend the rules
but afterward relented and voted to re-
ceive it.
A clerk had gotten down with the bill
after it had been refused and brought it
back again.
Then the senatorial dignity was Of
Tended and the senate refused to send
the bill back again.
Mr.. Cox made several attempts to call
the bill up, while the house was pro-
ceeding with the third reading of house
bills. Another senate bill was refused
by the house which afterward voted to
receive it. When Senator Hale moved
to send this bill back, Mr.. Cox moved to
attach 156.
Then Mr.. Little objected. He was not
willing that any other bill should be
sent down on that motion.
MIR. Cox wanted to know where the
senate was at on the question of proceed
ure. He couldn't see why the bill
didn't 60 down. Mr.. Murphy wanted to
know if the steering committee was reg
ulating the order of procedure for the
house.
When the reading and passage of
house bills stopped, Mr.. Cox was up
again with his meat axe. Mr.. Little
moved a recess until 10 o'clock this
morning. Mr.. Cox said motion to ad-
journ to q set time was debatable. He
wanted to make a statement to the
house about senate bill 156. Points of
order were raised. Mr.. Cox said: II
pass and quit for time. They were
coming too thick for him. The motion
to recess was lost. Then the senate
went back to the regular order again.
BREATHING FAMILY.
Mr.. Noble took advantage of the gen.
eneral torridity to add his mite. He
got skewer into the exemption bill and
got it laid on the table. When the bill
came up, Mr.. Baker moved an amend
ment to make the exemption $1,000 in
stead of $3.50, as the bill passed the
house. Mr.. Bakers amendment carried.
Then Mr.. Hale moved to amend by
striking out 81 900 wherever it appeared
in the bill and inserting $4,000. Mr..
Noble moved to lay the amendment on
the table. This was carried so quick
that Senator LaMoure couldn't get in
the request for a division. When ne did
get up Mr.. Noble raised a point Of order
that his motion wasn't debatable. Jud
said he merely wanted to explain and
addressed himself so directly to the
gentleman from Bottineau, that he was
called to order for not addressing the
chair. On. the division the motion to
table carried. When the vote on the
bill as amended came up. Senator Noble
made point 81 order that the amend
ment having been tabled, carried the bill
with it. The point was well taken, and
the bill went to the table. Mr.. LaMoure
appealed to the senate. How would
that body explain to the house what had
become Of its bill? Mr. Noble said there
wasn't any need to worry about inform
/ ing the house. The bill was still on the
table. It was alive vel. It still breathed,
although very family, he admitted. The
senate could take up the bill any time it
wanted to do 50 from the table. At re-
