Would Help All Companies.
Under the terms Of bill that has
been introduced by Col. j. H. Frame,
the six militia companies Of the state
that are now without armories will
be provided with such buildings with
IN the next two years. As the law
now stands two militia companies are
assisted each year in securing
armory buildings. an appropriation
OF $4,000 for each being made.
/ With the present law remaining in
effect four Of the militia companies
would be provided with armories
during the next biennial period, leav-,
ing two companies without armories
to be provided for three years hence.
Col. Frame, in his bill amending the

Frame bill adopted another. city could

twelve months.
Auditors Not Satisfied.
County auditors in the city this
week are not very much impressed
with a bill that was passed by the
house in which it is provided that the
two per cent interest received on
county deposits shall be apportioned
back to the taxing district from which
the money was received. That is, in
q county where there are from 100 to
200 taxing districts, it would be the
duty Of the county auditor to de-
termine just what shape of the two
per cent interest each Of those tax
ing districts was entitled to, and so
apportion It.
Under this law the county auditors
declare that clerk hire made neces-
sary by the additional work would
entirely do away with the interest re-
ceived and the county would be q
loser on the proposition. The bill is
known as H. B. No. 33.
Committees Getting Basy. -
The joint legislative Investigation
committee to which was referred the
resolution providing for an, investi-
CATION into the state game and fish
commission will soon be actively en-
gagged in the work. Just now Chair
man Frame is at work making a COL
lection of data bearing upon the ac-
tfvities Of the commission during the
last two years, and in the collection
|of statistics that he is making it is
expected that there will be included
q very complete and itimized state
ment of the expenditures, similar. to
that recently published and which
was obtained from the office Of the
state auditor.
The investigating committee has
not determined yet whether it will
call any Of the members of the COM
mission before 1t or not, but tho
probabilities are that the commission
will be asked to submit any state
ment that it may desire to make.
Tomorrow the treasureship investi- !
eating committee is scheduled to hold
a meeting at which time 1t is expect
ed that an employee of the office will
appear before the body.
Judges Want Fee.
With an active lobby in the city
supporting the bill by which 1t is pro-
posed to create a county Juvenile
court through the placing Of such
duties on the shoulders Of the county |
Judge, new interest has been awaken
ed in that feature Of proposed legisla-
tion. The bill in question, 8. B. No. |
80, introduced by Senator Duis Of !
Grand Forks, is one in which the
county judges have taken decided |
interest because Of the additional du-
ties It imposes on them in counties
where the law may be adopted.
The county judges have decided
that they will ask for the insertion in
the proposed bill of a clause by which
they will be allowed an annual ad-
ditional salary Of $500 in couties
where the provisions of the law may
be adopted. It is. over this feature
Of the question that the conflict in
opinion has arisen.
Supporters of the measure contend
that no such fee clause should be in
serted, but the County Judges asso-
citation is not expected to allow the
