The adoption of the report of the
conference committee on the new game
bill gives the state game board OF
control consisting of FIVE members to be
named by the governor, who will meet
at the capitol and select two executive
agents. who will be known as chief
game wardens. They are to receive a
salary of 81 500 year each and will
select their field men, who will be paid
from the fees received under the game
law for licenses. Spring shooting is
abolished in the state and number Of
changes made in the matter of game
protection and preservation. The bill is
compromise between the Talcott bill,
which was presented in the senate, and
the Hale bill in the house, the form OF
the commission being from the Talcott
bill and the provision of the Hale bill
for two chief wardens being incorpor-
ated Both bills provided fot the doing

SPEAKER BURDIC|kl
DIDN'T VOTE Twice

Editor Tribune - In the controversy
over Senate Bill 81, locating the state
fair at Fargo permanently, many mem
bers and spectators were under the inn
preston that Mr.. Burdick voted twice
as member from Cavalier county and
as Mr.. Speaker. This is erroneous
Speaker Burdick voted but once, when
"Mr. Speaker" was called, which vote
would be the vote of member from
Cavalier county, and the result of such
vote made tie. The speaker then an
nounced the motion lost.
Now, let us see if he is right:
We take the following rule of the
national house of representatives and
print it for the benefit of those who
may have any doubt on the subject:
"The speaker must vote when bal
lot is taken" In this case the vote
made a tie. Further, the rule says:
where ballot results in tie the
motion is defeated The speaker sim
ply announced such to be the fact in the
case of the Fargo fair bill and did not
exercise second vote to defeat the
measure, and, in justice to him, it is
no more than right this should be made
public, so that the people will be ap-
priced of the facts and not be lead into
misconception. J. T.. MORRIS.

Frank A. Wilson of Bathgate has
been reappointed as state oil inspector
notwithstanding the reports that have
been circulated that the place was APT
to go to younger member of the par
ty. 1t has been stated that Mr.. Wilson
was not active enough in the senatorial
election in the first district to please
some of the Democrats and that this
would prevent his reappointment.
Nevertheless Mr.. Wilson has been hon
ored with a reappointment and his nom-
ination was confirmed Immediately upon
its receipt by the senate. Mr.. Wilson is
one of the old-time Democratic news

quaintance and has made good record

might be serious conflict between such
a law and the law that may be passed
in the state of Minnesota, and the mat
ter of representation might be made al
together ineffective. 1t is believed that
much good will come to the state from
such representation as is proposed and
that the character of the men appointed
and considerable freedom in their in
structions from this state will work to
the advantage of North Dakota

BOOST FOR EXPRESS COMPANIES

BOOST FOR EXPRESS COMPANIES
Fargo Call: The Northern Pacific
has placed, in operation a new ruling
which will materially affect small
shipments. The company fixes it's
minimum weight for figuring of
freight tariff at 100 pounds and the
freight charge on any shipment will
be the charge on 100 pounds in its
class For instance, the rate per 100
pounds to Bismarck is 81 cents in a
certain class; a shipment of 20 pounds
or so pounds will be billed at 81 cents,
the minimum for computing charges
being 100 pounds. 1t is believed that
the effect of this ruling will be to in
crease the express business to the
detriment of the freight business.

PRESIDING OVER THE SENATE

In Mr.. Sherman the senate will have
a presiding officer thoroughly familiar
with parliamentary procedure, says the
Washington Star. He has often been
called to the chair in the house, and has
always ruled to the satisfaction of that
body He is prompt and fair, and an
expediter of business. He will be en-
tirely at home in his new Office.
Going back thirty years We come to
the case of Gen. Arthur. He had had no
experience in legislative life, and there
was some speculation as to how he
would like the duties of the vice presi-
dency. But he did not remain in the
Office long enough to test the problem.
The extra session of the senate in the
spring of 1881 was very short, and be-
fore the regular session began death
had transferred Gen. Arthur to the
White House.
Mr.. Hendricks, who followed, had
many years before been senator, but
was not a parliamentarian, and had he
lived might have found his new duties
difficult.
Mr.. Morton, who followed him, was
likewise inexperienced as presiding
officer, as also was Mr.. Stevenson, who
came in with Mr.. Cleveland in 1893.
Mr.. Hobart followed, and while ready
man of business and personally popular,
was largely guided in the chair by
promptings from the desk.
Mr.. Roosevelt took hold valiantly, but
was soon in distress. The rapid firing
from the floor was too much for him,
and there was some puzzling as to what
would take place in case of 6rst-class
shindy with nice parliamentary points a
factor in the game. His service in the
chair, like that of Gen. Arthur, was
short, and he, too, was transferred to
the White House by death.
Mr. Fairbanks had served but few
years in the senate when. called to the
chair, but he showed at once his readi-
ness and capacity, and has made an ad-
mirable presiding officer He has the
temperament that goes with the office
when its duties are broadly considered
He is as fair as judge on the bench,
keeping the rules always before him,
and interpreting them without the re-
hottest suggestion of partisanship.
The senate has never been at a disad-
vantage by reason of the inexperience
of the vice president. Its selections of
an understudy have always been we'll
made Mr.: Edmunds served for years
in the best manner. Mr.. ingalls,, for all
of his tartness in debate on the floor,
was while in the chair a model ruler.
Mr.. Harris of Tennessee showed the
same change of spirit whenever he left
the floor for the chair. Waspish as a
debater, he was, as presiding officer,
kind, clear, impartial to- the last de-
gree, and he often, even when the re-
publicans were in power, presided.
Mr.. Frye rules like the veteran that
he is and is universally trusted and re-
spected. The whole procedure is a, b.
to him, and he hustles matters along
without friction. The most complicated
question finds him ready, and his de-
cisions are brief and to the point, and
as satisfactory to one side as to the
