the measure was a Democrat, were
aired in the house chamber yesterday
afternoon quite unexpectedly after the
bill in question had been made spe-
cial order for Monday afternoon OF
next week. 1t was on motion to
reconsider that Representative Price
of Cass county made the assertion
that an effort was being made to de-
lay the passage of the bill that an
other bill. Identical in its nature, could
be passed by the senate and trans
mitted to the house.
1t was the first clash of it's kind
that has occurred on the floor of the
house this year and that fact made
the event doubly interesting. Mr..
Sorlie. after practically all of the
other business of the house had been
disposed of, moved for reconsider
alton of the vote by which the bill
had been made a special order. He
declared that to delay the considera-
ton of the measure would be to pile
up an unnecessary amount of work
for next week, and in his opinion it
behooved members of the house to
get to work Immediately.
A point of order was raised by Mr..
Davis of Grand Forks county that
Mr.. Sorlie could not move for re-
consideration, having voted with the
minority. The point was sustained.
Mr.. Price then arose and made the
motion, and accompanied his motion
with a few timely remarks on the
subject. He declared that since the
vote had been taken that it had come
to him that an effort was being made
to delay the passage of the Doyle bill
just because Mr.. Doyle chances to
be Democrat. He declared 1t was
just political move and that it would
put the house in bad light to let
the previous action stand.
A motion to lay Mr.. Prices motion
on the table was not carried.
Mr.. Akesson of Cass county VEN
tured the assertion that the only rea-
son there was opposition to the plac-
ing of the bill as special order for
next Monday was the fact that the
"Near Speakers League did not
have it mapped out that way. The
Near Speakers" club, by the way,
is closed combination that is really
no combination at all, and which is
made up, as the name indicates, Of
defeated candidates for the speaker.
ship.
Mr.. Doyle of Foster, sponsor of the
income tax ratification bill, stated
to the house that since his bill had
been introduced, that he had been
told by the member of the senate
who had introduced like bill that
the senate measure would be with
drawn. Speaking Of the action of
congress in the passage of the mea-
sure. Mr. Doyle declared that it did
not appear to be Democratic meas
ure. inasmuch as congress was over
whelmingly Republican. He said
that he had introduced the bill be.
cause it was necessary for action by
the legislative assembly before the
income tax amendment to the consti-
tuition of the United States could
become effective, two-thirds of the
states in favor being necessary.
On the vote to reconsider, the mo-
ton was carried, and on the vote
there were SO ayes, 1 no and 4 absent
and not voting. Mr.. Akesson of
Cass county was the only member
of the house who voted against the
measure. A clincher was put on the
bill by motion of Mr.. Price.
