unchanged today. The fats we
give are from official records. Mr..
Crawford went to Bismarck, the
capital of the territory. He was
flushed with his first political victory.
The second measure and tue inst
bill introduced in the council was 10
repeal this infamous law. Every
memter of the council (the territorial
senate) voted for repeal. 1t then
went owe to the house and there it
was also repealed 10y unanimous vote.

which had been repealed by a unan-

territory were shocked. They pre-

enact the gross earnings law passed

to re-enact the law which he Lad
previously voted to repeal. 1t was
the same law, without the change OF
a word, or a punctuation mark,
without the change Of a dotted ';i''
or a crossed ST."
Mr.. Crawford said afterwards that
he changed his vote because he was
asked to do so by the board of trade
OF Pierre. just how great a body
the Pierre board of trade was In 1889
you may we'll guess. Let 1t be re-
membered that Mr.. Crawford was
solemly pledged by the convention Of
the whole district to vote for the
repeal of the gross earnings tax law;
let It also be remembered that a nan
