GRADER BILL
WAS REPEALED TWO
n YEARS AGO AND is NOW
BACK AGAIN
JUDGES EXPENSE BILL is
s5s PASSED AFTER "a DOLLAR is
CUT OFF
As the end of the tenth assembly
looms in sight the members Of the
house especially begin to show more
strenuousness, in other words NUM-
Der Of the solons seem to be getting a.
little bit chesty-they feel as though
they would like to begin to see what
credit marks they will have to point
with pride" to their constituents, and
whether they have earned the honor ac-
corded them last November. IA
s5 The excitement Of Tuesdays session
was precipitated when a.. B. 257 was
reached under the head Of the third
reading Of house bills. The bill was
one authorizing the purchase Of tools
and machinery for making roads, and
which it appears is the re-enacting Of a
similar one two years ago. Mr.. Stevens
did not like the purpose Of 257 and
moved for its indefinite postponement
and his remarks incident to that were
of such a caustic nature that they
aroused Speaker Twichell and he bot
tied up the gentleman from Burleigh
by calling him to the chair.
81 AS the speaker and Mr.. Stevens
passed each other, one leaving the ros-
trum and the other taking his place,
Stevens said you'll let me make a re-
ply wont your"
Mr.. Twichell vigorously supported
the bill and appealing hoped that the
motion to postpone would not prevail
He did not see why farmers should not
buy graders if they wanted to and to
do the business as they wanted to. SUI
Ipervisors, were the representatives of the
people and as "a rule were intelligent
enough to spend 1900 for a grader.
He was not trying to sell graders, he
wanted other people to buy graders if
they wanted to. The Red river valley
needs draining and he hoped God
would afford them the opportunity to
do more than they had been able to do.
After further discussion pro and con
and after Mr.. Stevens had resumed his
place on the floor the motion to post
pone was withdrawn and action was
deferred until Thursday.
