Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1911-01-17

no reason to assume hurried action
such action might hurt those who
were innocent of anything crooked.
Mr.. Price spoke in favor of making
the investigation special order, stat
ing that he knew the sentiment of
the house to be favorable to the in
vestigation, but as matter of fair
nesse he felt that it would be only
right and proper to fix Thursday as
the time for final consideration.
Mr.. DISCARD of Nelson stated that
he felt little would be gained in max
ing the resolution special order as
the committee would be able to make
a report to the house on the commits
sion's report.
w. P. Tuttle of Kidder, speaking for
adoption, said that he believed no
state official was opposed to inves-
tigation; that all were willing to have
any investigation that might be made.
He said that If the state had spent
$4,000 in the last two years and
had not been saving ducks and chick
ems that legislative attention should
be given the subject.
Roll call was asked by Mr.. Hoge
and on the adoption, there was ma
jority of about eight against. The
resolution was then made special
order by an almost unanimous vote.
H. B., No. IA, was withdrawn by
Mr.. Walters, and H. B. No. rs, was
introduced in it's place. 1t is the
proposed act covering the question
of publicity of state finances, and the
amended bill provides that the quart
erly statement shall show the aver
age deposit in each bank of the state
for a period covered.
A resolution providing for the COM
piling of a 1911 code of the state
laws was introduced by Mr.. Homness
and referred to the state affairs COM
mittee.
When the house discovered yester.
day that it had authorized to agri-
cultural committee to attend the
Tri-State Grain Growers convention
in Fargo it at once asked for re-
| consideration and as result, the
motion of Mr.. O'Shea of Mclean, in
which such provision was made, was
sent to a committee. Another res
olution was presented asking that the
livestock committee be allowed to
send three of it's members to the
convention, such delegates to pay
their own expenses.
It is expected that there will be a
meeting of the rules committee of
the house today or tomorrow at which
the question of the rules abolishing
the publication of house bills will be
considered.
