NEW BILLS INTRODUCED

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 16,-The al
of the office Of the state treasurer /.
to be officially investigated.
Representative Hawkinson Of the
house introduced a concurrent resolu-
ton to that effect this afternoon.
The house also favors the investi-
cation of the fish and game commits
sion. There was a heated debate over
the Gunderson resolution from the
senate to this effect, Representative
Sorlie protested against an investiga-
ton till the full report of the COM
mission had been read, as he thought
more light was necessary.
He was backed up by Representa-
tive Doyle.
Representative Price of Fargo made
a red hot speech for an investigation,
taking the grounds the hunters of the
state had a right to know whether
their money was properly expended. On
his motion the matter was made a
special order for Thursday afternoon
at 8 o'clock.
A concurrent resolution was adopted
AOF Tie appointments Oh a committee,
under the suggestion of the governors
message, to see about repairs for the
capitol building, Representatives
Homnes and Price were named from
the house. The resolution was mes
saged to the senate.
There is great dissatisfaction in the
house over the new rule abolishing
the printing of all bills. It is probable
that 1t win be reconsidered at an early
date as the old regulation was found
more satisfactory.
The present system prevents the
members from getting light on the
matter.
Among the bills introduced in the
house were:
Kuhi-Giving notice on estates.
France-Duties OF adjutant general
De Nault-Disposition of penalty and
interest on taxes.
Concurrent resolution regarding the
disposition of fines and forfeitures for
violations of state laws.

LOTS TOMORROW AFTERNOON

two United States senators this week

number of senatorial elections in many
parts of the country, North Dakota will
be one of the two states that will
choose two representatives to the up
per. house of congress. The death of
the late Senator EIkins Of West Vir-
ginia causes a double election in the

third term, and Cong. A. j. Gronna
whose third term in the house Of repre-
sentatives at washington is now ex-
piring, will receive the toga as Sena-
tor McCumber's junior colleague in
the upper house. Both gentlemen were
nominated at the primaries last June
and there will be every disposition on
the part Of the legislators to carry out
the wishes of the people as expressed
by their suffrages at that time.
Congressman Gronna win be selected
to serve the unexpired term of the late
Martin n. Johnson, whose place has
been temporarily filed by Senator Pur-
cell. appointed by the governor. Both
the candidates are popular with the
people and were received cordially and
with much favor by the members OF
the legislature when they were In Bis
marck at the opening OF the session.
Two Of the defeated candidates for
the senatorship at the primaries are
now in the city, Herman Midtbo Of
Ward county and Dennis Hannafn.
Mr.. Midtbo arrived late Saturday after
noon and stated that he would remain
Until Tuesday evening He spent Sum
day with a number OF friends at the
Grand Pacific hotel, and 1t was learned
that an effort would be made 20 take
his name before the state senate and
house, holding that the recommended
ton and nomination at the primaries
did not necessarily imply that the leg
islature was in duty bound to act in
accordance with the recommendation.
Mr.. Midtbo also announced that he
has some other legislation he is In
terested in pertaining to educational
subjects.

N. D. RATES

Hearing Of Famous Western
Rate Cases on
LARGE TERRITORY INVOLVED
CASES ARE SOMEWHAT SIMILAR
CASES ARE SOMEWHAT SIMILAR
TO EASTERN RATE CASES AR
GuED LAST WEEK-ARE BEING
HEARD BEFORE. INTERSTATE
COMMERCE COMM ssIoN.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Arguments in
the western rate cases were begun to-
day before the Interstate commerce
commission, In general the cases are
similar to those involving the carriers
in the official classifications territory
which were argued before the commits
sion last week They dix er from the
eastern cases, however, in one import
ant respect. The latter involve only
commodity rates.
The territory involved in the direct
advances in the western rates includes
the states Of Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Iowa, Missouri North Dakota, South
Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Mon
tana. The rates fled are effective be-
tween points in this territory and to
and from Chicago and other basic
points. Advances in the rates affect
not merely local traffic but all of the
traffic in the particular commodities
named moving into, through or out OF
the territory.
Nlnety-two Commodities.
In general way ninety-two com
modities are affected. All OF them are
articles of daily consumption, and foF
the greater part may be regarded as
necessaries of life and business. While
no definite average of advance is pos
sible, it will be approximately is per
cent The commission is called upon,
under the law, to pass on the propriety
of this advance. Sixteen hours have
been allotted by the commission to
counsel for arguments.
The arguments were opened by a
statement submitted by Frank Lyon.
one of the counsel for the commission.
He submitted elaborate tables showing
the articles affected by advances of
OF freight revenue of many of the
roads, together with the ratio Of in
crease in revenue to the wage increase,
the estimated wage increase, and the
amount of capital stock the roads had
declared dividends upon.
He said that the carriers frankly
stated that unless they should be re-
strained, other increases In rates other
than those involved IN these cases
would be made whese com. fsfition
would permit.
