Among the many attacks that have
been made upon the Independent Har-
vester company ths most unfair and
misleading was one arising from
personal grievance.
Inspired Attack.
Owing to the fact that one of our
North Dakota state senators who Is
said to be interested in a machinery
business, in the same town where the
Independent Harvester company is by
degrees capturing the bulk Of the
business In that locality, resolution
was introduced in the senate at Bis
marck and later offered before the
house,
Resolution introduced.
This state senator introduced a res-
olution in the senate calling for an in
vestigation of the Independent Har-
vester company which was passed or
adopted by the senate, and was then
offered to the house OF representatives
but that body before acting upon the
same, referred 1t to committee for
investigation before allowing 1t to be
placed upon the calendar for a vote.
1t took the investigating committee
but a short time TO discover that there
was d personal ak TO grind, and, after
going into the financial condition of
the independent Harvester company,
as certified to by chartered account
ants. from the stats OF Illinois. q copy

Bismarck, N. D., March 7.--An effort
to reconsider the vote by which a sem
ate woman's suffrage bill passed the
house yesterday afternoon lost this
morning. 1t appears the bill went
through in a rush of roll calls and a
good many voted for it, not knowing
what the measure contained and think
ing it was some minor amendment of
election laws.
1t appears now that the friends of
woman's suffrage have been busy dur :
ing the night and have lined up enough
so it will be impossible to get the bill
reconsidered. This is really more than
the woman's suffrage advocates have
expected during the past couple of
days as with the initiative and refer
endum fight growing so bitter there is
said to have been a trade in which
senate bill No. 5, the favorite of the
suffragettes, was to be sacrificed, In
other words the house was going to get
even with Senator Bronson the author
for voting against the house initiative
and referendum by killing his suffrage
bill in the house, so as matter OF fact
woman's suffrage had q very narrow
escape from death in the North Dakota
legislature. Both houses were in ses-
sion this morning and took a recess
until o'clock and the afternoon ses-
sion will not be ended until o'clock
and there will be a large amount of
work left then, with chances it will be
2 or 3 o'clock in the morning before
final adjournment is taken.

WILSON TACKLES TARIFF.

Washington, March 7.-Presi-
dent Wilson's present purpose, it
was learned today, is to accept
the proposal of the house leaders
and recommend that the tariff
alone be acted upon at the extra
session of congress.
The president looks favorably
on the idea of having the house
pass the set tariff measures and
put them sduarely before the SEN
ate, bill by bill, so that the atten-
tioh of the whole country may be
focused on the upper house and
enable public opinion to locate
the responsibility for the failure
or success of a measure.
President Wilson's present in
tention, he told his callers, is to
recommend special message to
congress that the tariff be the
chief work of the session and ex-
poets all his attention briefly to
be needed on the currency iegis-
lation. a.. .-
President Wilson's purpose
would be. it is declared, to have
the currency bill thoroughly test
ed by public opinion and made
ready at the December session.

The Attack Failed
Upon Investigation
Independent Harvester Co. Gvsa Clean Bill Of Health by
House After Resolution to Investigate Had Been
Passed by the Senate
Misleading Information Basis Of Attack and Investigation
Is In Sound Condition, Doing Fair and Honorable
Business With PatrsnS and Stockholders

of which report is in the hands of the
state bank examiner, they decided to
kill the resolution.
Great Progress Shown.
The committee also took into con-
Eideration the statements OF members
of the house Of representatives who
in times past had made personal in
yestigation OF the independent Har-
vester company'S plant at Plano, ILL.,,
and who were ready and willing to
tell Of the great progress the company
Is making toward the manufacture
of farm implements and their econonl-
ical way of marketing same, whereby
the farmers throughout the country
who have been using this machinery,
have been able to save many thou
sands of dollars upon the purchase
OF 1t.
Misleading information.
The information supplied by the
state senator in Introducing his reso-
luton for investigation was obtained
from a tax assessors books or Ken
dali county, Ill. for the year 1911. and
In trying to belittle the Independent
Harvester company to the best of his
ability, he took the total assessment
for the year 1911 and compared 1T
with the amount OF stock sold BY the
company up to the first of February.

of Stutsmar there was a roll call on
indefinite postponement and that was
lost by vote of "a ayes and "a nays.
When the bill came up for final pass
age a second time after it had been
reconsidered there were "a ayes and
% nays, Senators Hughes and Trage-
ton having changed their vote from
the first roll call. After the final de-
feat of the bill there was another ef-
fort to attach clincher to that vote
but it lost by vote of "a to % and
so the bill is still liable to bob up at
almost any time.
Argument on No. 133.
When the bill first came UP for
consideration Senator Hanley took the
floor and argued for the passage, He
started his talk by saying II think
it viii be admitted that this session
of the legislature has enacted very
little constructive legislation and that
a large majority of the bills that have
been passed are only of local and
minor Importance Continuing he
stated that the only thing that was
at question at this time was as TO
whether or not they should give the
people of the state the right to exer-
else the power that was given them
when this country was born and that
the passage Of the bill means that
the question would, only be put up
to the people. He stated that IL this
bill was killed that there was great
danger that there would be no
initiative and referendum legislation
passed at this session as the house
has three bills which had passed the
senate and that there was a pos
sibility that if the senate killed the
house bill the house would kill all
of the senate bills and the platform
pledges of the party would not be car
ried out as had been promised the
people. Senator HanIey said 'T be-
lieye the success or failure of this
session of the legislature depends up
on whether or not we pass the
initiative and referendum and re-
call"

SUFFRAGE BILL
SLIPPED THROUGH

Bismarck, N. D., March 7.-During
Thursday afternoons rush to ''put
through" batch of bills considered of
minor Importance, the house uncon-
sciously, 1t might be said, let the wo-
man suffrage bill slip past on roll call
without a dissenting vote. Later in
the afternoon the "slip" was discover
ed, and Representative Owens gave no
tice that he would make a motion to
reconsider
The bill to slip through was senate
bill No 157, and there was no discus
sion when ii was placed upon third
reading and final passage. Not until
some time later did opponents to wo-
man suffrage discover that the measure
had gone through without hitch.
House "Wades Through" Work.
The house accomplished a great deal
of work Thursday afternoon, and
"waded" through the calendar of SEN
ate bills in good shape. For a time
the house passed bills at the rate Of
bill minute, without counting out
time for the brief intermissions be-
tween bills.

Washington, March 7.-President
Wilson began conference today with
some of the party leaders in congress-
His first visitors were Senators Gull
bertson Of Texas and Tillman of South
Carolina, former Governor Glenn of
North Carolina and Chairman Fitz-
gerald, of the house appropriations
committee
Mr.. Fitzgerald said no decision was
reached whether the house would now
appoint an appropriations committee
and draft a sundry civil appropriation
bill to take the place of the one vetoed
by President Taft.
1t has been decided to hold the
regular cabinet meetings on Tuesday
and Friday of each week as has been
the custom for years.
Wilson Talks Policy.
President Wilson began the consid-
GRAFTON or the economy of the admin
istration and the So called class Leg
islation. Chairman Fitzgerald OF the
house appropriations committee, in
discussing with the president the
question of appropriations for the
coming session, recalled that Mr.. Taft
vetoed the sundry civil bill because
that persons might prevent the gov
ernment from using a certain sum to
enforce the Sherman law against Ia
Dor and farmers organizations. 1t is
said President Wilson took firm po-
sition for rigid economy.
Some of the presidents confidants
think if the provision exempting labor
unions from prosecution is included in
the sundry bill again, President Will
son would be inclined to influence
their elimination, preferring to post
pone enuneiation of the government s
policy until the revision of the Sher-
man law so it's jurisdiction will be ex-
plicitly understood.
Clarke Defeated Bacon.
The democrats of the senate chose
Sen. James p. Clarke, of Arkansas,
for president pro -tempore of the SEN
ate over Sen. Augustus o. Bacon, OF
Georgia, by vote of "a to IA. The
outcome was great surprise as it
was considered Bacon would be elect
ed. The caucus choice is equivalent
to an election in the senate.
Held Rates Valid.
The proposed advances in the
freight rate on linseed oil from st.
Paul and Minneapolis to the south and
west was held by the interstate COM
merce commission to be reasonable
with the exception of the proposed
increase to Des Moines, Ia, which was
ordered withdrawn.
The Tariff Begins.
with the house ways and means
committee meeting to organize, the
real tariff work of the sixty-third
congress began today. With only
three new members on the democratic
side the committee seemed practically
certain that tariff measures framed
under the supervision of Majority
Leader Underwood during the last
session will be accepted by a number
of the committee and laid before the
caucus before the extra session be-
gins April i.
The committee is also facing the
problem of organizing the entire
democratic side of the mouse through
it's functions as a committee on COM
mdttees. The usual crop of lobbyists
are appearing here to watch the ways
and means committee. An organized
opposition will combat any, radical tar
iff bills in the house and follow them
to the senate where strenuous effort
viii be made to temper any great re-
ductions.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
CARRIED HUNGARY

Budapest, Hungary. March THE
woman's suffrage cause won a notable
victory here when the lower house Of
the Hungarian parliament adopted the
governments suffrage reform bill by
which large number of women were
enfranchised. The Hungarian capital
is crowded with troops during the de-
bate in consequence of the threats of
the socialist to begin a general strike
in the country. This protest is against
the governments attitude which is
unfavorable to complete universal
suffrage.
