Would Gust McAndrews
Under the terms Of a bill passed
by the senate this week, j. G. Mean
drews Of Fargo would be out Of the
position of parole officer of the state.
The bill was introduced by Senator
jacobson Of Hettinger county and
under its provisions, the state peni-
tentiary warden is also made the state
parole officer. An emergency clause
is attached to the bill In which 1t is
declared that inasmuch as economy
must be exercised and that the po-
sition of parole officer is unnecessary
and creates an expense that can ham
dily be done away with.
Wants Small Levy
Senator Cashel has proposed a new
plan to care for the idemnity in the
glandered horse statute. He would
have the state board of equalization
levy tax of one-tenth Of q mill for
the glandered horses, which would
create q fund of between $4,000 and
$780, 900 in the biennial period. He
also proposes to retain the state wolf
bounty but would lower the. tax to
one-half Of one-tenth Of mill, which
would give the state between 5000
and $4,000 in the biennial period,
or an amount Just about sufficient to
meet the claims that are made for
county.
Fifth District Division
Under the terms of the Fifth judi
cial district division bill that is be-
fore the assembly now. LaMoure. -Lo-
gan, Wells and StutsmAn counties
make up the Fifth district while Eddy.
Barnes, Griggs and Foster make up
what will be the Thirteenth district.
Favorable consideration has been
given one of the judicial district
bills by the senate committee, re-
port favoring the adoption Of the
Eleventh district bill introduced by
Senator Overson. being given out.
This district, If tie bill becomes a
law, will be made up Of Mckenzie.
Williams and Mountrail counties, the
latter two counties being from the
present Eighth district, with McKen-
zie county from the present Tenth
district.
Exempt Sectarisn Dormitories
sectarian dormitories would be ex-
empted from taxation by the bill in
troduced this week by Mr.. Ployhar
of Barnes county. This bill is de-
signed especially to relieve from tax
alton such institutions as have
sprung up at the side of several Of
the state educational institutions for
the benefit Of students in those insti-
tutions of various religious faiths. It
is contended as an argument favor
able to the measure, that the con :
struction of these dormitories result
in benefit to the state in that 1t re-
leaves the necessity of erecting as
many dorndtories as would other
wise be necessary. At the present
time Valley City and Grand Forks
are the only cities in which such dor
mitories have been erected.
Talking of Drug Permit
People of the state have become in
terested in the drug permit situation
again as a result Of the introduction
in the senate by the senate temper
ance committee, of the bill that
seeks to abolish the permits as they
are now issued and controlled. Num-
erous letters bearing on the subject
have been received by the assembly
members. with sentiment divided.
The w. C. T. U. and similar organi-
cations will oppose the passage of
the bill that would place the sale Of
liquor under the physician prescrip-
tion regulation. In fact, they have
already opened their campaign against
the enactment Of the proposed bill
and because Of that fact there should
be some interesting committee ses-
sions ere the question is finally Set
tied.
May Have Recess
There has been, within the last few
days, talk Of another recess. The
probabilities are that the assembly
will decide on an adjournment to
commence about February s or g.
continuing till about February 13 or
H.. An effort was made this week to
provide for q recess that would have
taken the assembly from it's active
work between February / and Z, but
that resolution was killed by the house
while in the senate a resolution pro-
viding for . recess from yesterday
until next Tuesday met like fate.
BY the time February 8 rolls around
1t Is expected that the work will be
in very good shape. The printed
copies of bills are being supplied the
members rapidly at the present time
and practically all Of the committees
have sufIlcient amount of work to
