This bill stands q very good show NJ
passage.
The Ployhar bill for the making of
a new judicial district from the fourth
and fifth districts passed the house ON
reconsideration. If this gets throueh
the upper house it will make a dis
trict OF Stutsman. LaMoure, Mcintosh
n Logan counties, and will be known
as the fifth district and will make a
new district. to be known as the thir-
teenth, out Of the other counties of
the fifth district. This would leave
D1ckey, Ransom, Sargent and Rich
lane in the fourth district. The friends
OF Alfred Zuger are boosting him for
the judgeships of the thirteenth dis
trict. should the measure become law.
The appropriation committee of the
house had an all-day session on WASH
ington's birthday, ard the result Of
their labors are as follows:
recommended for PASSAGE: For
glandered horses. Sos. 900; tuberculosis
sanitarium at Dunseith, 1913, 900; ele-
mentary education, $35, 900; agriculture

toll, $1,000; survey and drain from
Mouse river to Devils Lake, $3.50; ex-
pertinent station at Harvey, $4,000:
blind. asylum, SLOTS; reform school,

Tertiary will get about $4,000; farm
ers' institutes, 100000 annually; min
ing substation at Hebron, $4,000;
state humane society, $500 annually.
There are $1,250,0 900 to he appropriated
and as the amount called for exceeds
TIE revenues the pruning hook will
have to be used a little more on some
bills. The Minot normal will get about
$3.50, 600, according TO the senate COM
mittee estimate. The house was little
more liberal and recommended 1925, 600
for this new institution, but all agree
that the senate recommendation is
a correct.
The sentiment that party pledges
should be redeemed gathered strength
as the session advanced. Now the leg
islative majority IL intent on carrying
out the party pledges. AS a result OF
the platform promises. the past week
an a%nti-pass law, initiative, referen-
DUN and recall measures have been
passed as well as a board of control
measure.
The anti-pass bill becomes effective
July 1. 1t exempts workers in the
farmers institutes. the men necessary
to carry out the work Of the good
farming trains and the geological sur
vey.
Three initiative and referendum bills
have been passed. The Doyle-Ploy-
har bill relating to both constitutional
and statutory enactments, the Gibbons
bill for constitutional amendments and
the Bessessen bill for statutory amend
ments. The measures as they relate to
the constitution will be passed on by
the people at the next election and the
others will come before the next leg
islative assembly.
The board of control bill relates only
to the penal Inc charitable institutions
of the state. 1t provides for q board
OF three members and carries an APP
preparation of $4,000.
The Cowan impeachment proceed
ings still occupy the center of the stage
in interest. The hearings :f the com
mittee have been held behind closed
doors, but enough escapes through wit
nesses to keep the interest at feve
heat. The findings Of h committee
will be reported to the house TO-DAY
There are hints at an attempt to white
wash but the personnel of the COM
mittee is too elf-respected and of high
character to allow anything but a
fair and candid consideration OF the
matters involved. fractional feeling IL
rife on both sides, but it is believed
that the investigation viii be decided
on it's merits.
Undoubtedly the legislature Will past
a bonding measure. The bill now b e
fore the assembly calls for $4,OOO,OO(
Of bonds to be submitted to h peo'
pie at the next election The Idea Of
issuing bonds to run for twenty Of
twenty-five years would be to- build ane
equip all the state institutions with thu
necessary buildings, etc. and let fu.
ture generations pay for it. This
would stop this continued fighting fol
appropriation bills for state education
al institutions that %engenders sc
much strife among members at eacf
session. Senator LaMoure head Of
the senase appropriation committed
