INSURANCE men
ON ANOTHER hike

Bismarck N. D., Feb. 15.-Now that
the Trimble bill is back again before
the senate, the inflow of insurance
men is expected in Bismarck. Yester-
day. when a motion was made for re-
consideration of the vote which killed
1t Saturday, 1t was revived by almost
unanimous consent,
As Senator Trimble, himself. had
voted in the minority and for it's pass
age, 1t was impossible for him to pre-
sent the motion for it's reconsideration
Senator Martin Of Billings county, who
voted against it's passage, made the
necessary passage which now brings 1t
back.
The bill was rereferred to the COM
mittee on insurance, where. 1t is said.
the author will endeavor to inject n
few amendments which will remove q.
few OF the most Objectionable and
drastic features 1t contained. II IS
felt the bill was of such consequence
that 1t should be discussed at length
before it is finally guiIlotined, If such
is to be It's fate.
Senator TrimbIe Is optimistic over
its future and says that he thinks
when 1t comes up again before the
senate. 1t will have a different ulti-
matum.

A report was received from the COM

cording to the assessed valuation of
the county in which they are elected.
This BILL If it becomes a law, is going
to make a difference in many of the
offices in the state and there was
difference OF opinion as to the Justice
OF the measure. BY some It is called
a SALARY grab bill'' and by others it
is contended that 1t will cut down the

not be a living wage in the ONCE OF

heated argument participated in
chiefly by MIR. Doyle and Mr.. Johns.
Mr.. Doyle moved for reconsideration
which was finally carried, which prob
ably indicates it's passage today.
Mr.. Prices woman suffrage bill came
up during the afternoon and was given
its second reading. There was consid-
cradle discussion over the bin but the
champions OF the measure were sue
cessful in procuring vote on it. II.
B. 1O7, introduced by Mr.. Lee of Ward
coounty, and providing for a fee of 81
to be collected by sheriffs in making
g. return on uncolIectable personal
property taxes, was killed by motion
for indefinite postponement This was
decided contrast to the intense ar
gument over the measure about two
weeks ago, when 1t was rereferred to
the committee on state affairs at the
time it came up for final passage.
The Default bill, providing for a
commission to be composed of the su-
preme court to redistrict the state into
new judicial districts is one of the
newer important ones. 1t provides that
the supreme court commission shall
make its report of these new district
boundary lines for the various judicial
districts within the state to the next
legislative assembly. A new plan for
the division of the fifth judicial dis
trict was proposed by Mr.. Anderson of
Griggs county, which places Stutsman,
Eddy, Wells and Foster counties in one
district; and Barnes. Griggs, LaMoure
and Logan counties in another.
Among the bills reported out Of the
committees were the county judge bill,
the recall for commission cities, the

EXTENDING Terms
OF STATE OFFICIALS

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 15.--The propo-
sition to extend the term of office of
the state executive and other elective
officials, which has ben widely dis
cussed among the legislators for the
last week, will probably be presented
to the assembly this week. 1t was at
first thought that the bill advocating
this proposition would come yesterday,
but the member who is to introduce 1t
announced yesterday afternoon to The
Forum representative that he was not
quite ready to spring 1t.
There will necessarily have to be
provided a number of important consti-
tutional amendments to carry the plan
through, and these have been the diff
ficulties over which the author of the
measure has been laboring. To reduce
the elections of the state to one in
every four years Is a problem when
the election of the supreme court jus
tees Is taken into consideration.
The solution of this feature does not
seem to have presented itself just at
present. This part of the present cleo
ton system will probably be remedied
SO as to make possible the considera-
ton and passage of the bill.
The constitutional provisions of
other states where the four-year term
exists will be thoroughly gone over so
that this state may enjoy the same
1t was announced yester-
day that the bill would in all prob
ability reach the house on or before
Feb. Is, which viii be next Saturday.
After the fifty-first day of the session,
new measures are barred from intro
duction.
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1911-02-15

There was difference Of opinion among
the members as to whether changing
the date until the latter part Of July
would make IL easier for the rural
voter to get to the polls or not. Allen
OF Emmons county opposed the change
on the grounds that there would be no
chance to get out the vote and other
senators contended that the present
date was fully as much OF a hardship
on the farmers If they desired to ex-
ercise their right of franchise. Duls
democrat, stated that for his part he
would like to see the primary election
held in August or September, as then
the republicans who had put up a good
hard fight In the primaries would not
have time to heal the sore spot be-
fore the general election and victory
would be more easy for the democrats
The bill was finally referred back to
the committee on elections and priv.
ileges and will be reported out agaiE
in the course Of a few days.

DISCARD OBJECTS
TO POLITICAL TALK

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 15.--The house
anti-pass bill has passed by a vote of
"a to %. The bill was introduced by
the committee of railroads of the lower
body. When the roll was called for
the final vote number of objections
were heard from various members, in
Guiding Mr.. Doyle of Foster county and
Mr.. Streeter
In explaining his vote, Mr.. DOYLE
said: Il vote no on this bill for the
reason it entirely fails to carry out
the pledge Of both parties to the people
Of the state prior to the last election;
that 1t shows clearly that it was drawn
In its present form for the purpose of
enabling the members of this legisIat-
i've assembly to use their passes during
the coming year and for the further
reason that this assembly knows that
the senate has already passed an anti
pass bin which was received In the
house a few days ago.
Mr. DISCARD of Nelson county oh
pected to the explanation Of Mr.. DOYLE
from being entered in the journal az
Is was political speech rather than
an explanatory statement of his vote
The discussion on the measure was
started by Mr.. Davidson of Burke
county who objected to the bin on the
ground that a similar measure had
been passed in the upper house and
that he felt this legislature would adj
journ without passing anything.
Mr.. Doyle wanted to amend the bin
by inserting an emergency clause. but
Mr.. Sorlie Of Trail. chairman OF the
committee contended that the Offer
ing OF amendments at this time was
only for the purpose OF killing the
measure. Both Mr.. Burnett and Mr..
DISCARD OF Nelson favored the house
bill.
