The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1913-02-11

the Warmer bill providing that the
law of 1911 providing for payment OF
5000 to each delegate to a national
convention. It was commended by those
who favored the 1911 law that ii made
l 1t possible for a poor man to be a can
didate for delegate as he had some
way of paying his expenses on the trip
and on the other hand it was contend
ed that as there are only two accredit-
ed political parties that people who are
members Of other parties too small to
hold national conventions should not
be compelled to pay part Of the price
or the two conventions in which they
are not represented. It was shown
during the debate that 1t cost the
state $2,77S.7S in 1912 and that there
was one delegate who refused to be
reimbursed for his expenses. 1t was
finally recommended to pass. Lambert
asked for the roll call, put was de-
clared out of order.
s. b. No. 90-Wartner, relating to
garnishment proceedings in justice
court was on motion Of Mr.. Hendrlck-
son laid over until general orders to-
day and .HanIey's senate bill for the
determination of heirs and their share
in certain claims was recommended
for passage.
H. b. No. 4, which Is a bill that
would lower the legal rate OF interest
from IL to 10 per cent was on the CAL
endar for special orders yesterday, but
was not reached. 1t Is expected that
it will come up today during general
orders and that there will be quite a
fight made over ii. There appears to
be a sentiment from the eastern part
OF the state that present conditions
are all right and It does not affect that
part Of the state as money can be had
for less than 10 per cent, but the great
est interest in the bill is in the west
ern part and all the representatives
from that section are not united as to
which is the best thing to do, kill the
bill or pass It, those being against the
bill holding that they will not be able
to get money In a new country unless
there Is a better rate Of interest than
10 per cent. and those %favoring the bill
holding that wherever there Is a
chance to loan money there will be
found plenty Of money. It Is quite
likely that there will be an interesting
debate on the matter when 1t comes
up this afternoon. The first clash over
the matter was during the bankers
convention here and the lobby was
packed with a delegation from the con-
v~ention and they were all interested
listeners.
