the representative vowed that his
shadow never should darken the ex-

Several weeks ago, the governor ac-
cused Rep. Lord OF bad faith because
his committee had failed to report out
the measure asked for in the inaugur-
al message, for a commission OF three
TO investigate general taxation condi-
tons.
Rep. Lord declared that he never
would go into the governors ONCE
again. His committee reported out
the bill, however and Lord has stuck
by his guns on all the administration
measures which he introduced.
Yesterday when the Lord tax COM

ditional facilities TO get the valuation

Lord carried II to the office himself,
accompanied by Attorney General
Franz Kuhn. He took with him a pen
for the governor to use In signing II,
and carried the pen away as a sow
enir.
He and the governor had friendly
talk, and after the interview, each
