III. d. PAGLSON.)
Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 4.-North Da-
kota's institutions. educational, chari-
table and penal. are being inspected
by legislative committees today. These
committees were appointed yesterday
afternoon by President Burdick Of
the senate and Speaker Hanley of the
house. Each of the several institu-
'tions will receive visit from one or
the other of the junketing committees
are four in all-and these
committees will report back to the
assembly next week following the re-
cess that comes to q close Tuesday
afternoon.
On the committee that was appoint
ed to visit the state university there
are Senators Linde of Mountrail,
Jacobson Of Hettinger and Represen-
tattves Burns of Morton, Hoge of Nc
Lean and Defiance of Mountrail. The

Means Strenuous Work..
Outside of the work of these sew
eral committees there Is nothing do
ing in legislative way today. Prac-
tically all of the members of the as
sembly have left the city to return to
their labors next week. when they will
the home stretch. There are only
twenty-one working days Of the ses-
sion and in that period there will
be strenuous. hours for all members,
the amount of work to be accom-
plished being very great.

thirty-sixth day of the session, but
in the remaining period there are
three Sundays and one legal holiday.
The assembly adjourns on Friday.
March 8, at the hour Of IL. midnight
BY next Saturday. the fortieth day
of the session, all appropriation bills
will have to be submitted. and from
that time until the task Is completed,
the appropriations committees Of the
two houses will be exceedingly busy.
An effort will be made to get the
appropriation bills out Of the way
early, but 1t is difficult to say whether
or not this will be accomplished in
view Of the enormity of the task.
Capitol Building Talk.
Construction Of new state capi-
tol building, as proposed by the build
ing committee of the assembly, will
provide an interesting topic for con-
sideration during the remainder OF the
session. Senator Welch already has
a bill before the assembly providing
for the appointment of capitol COM
mission and for the conduct of the
work proposed.
Senator James Kennedy Of Cass
county signed the minority report
from the building inspection commit
tee. declaring in his belief that this
was not an opportune time for the
taking up Of the work. He preferred
to allow the matter to rest another
two years, although he also admits
that there is need for considerable
repair work to the present building
II 1t is to be retained for any period.
Goes Before Committee Again.
The placing Of the fight on the drug
permit law before the senate commit
tee on temperance. again after the bill
had been reported out on majority
and minority opinions, places the
measure in a position where that
committee will find considerable
work. Medical men Of the state are
opposed to the plan of the bill. under
which 1t would be impossible for the
drug stores of the state to dispose of
liquor except on the prescription Of a
physician.
In the temperance committee certain
amendments will be offered to the
bill before 1t is again reported out.
but no time is to be lost in getting
them in shape and placing the meas
ure before the senate again.
The medical control bill. passed by
the house and now before the senate,
may meet with more trouble in the
upper branch Of the assembly than
It experienced in the lower house.
Since the passage Of the bill by the
