tions at the opening Of the session
OF the legislature this aftcrnon were
that when the concurrent resolution
for legislative expenses returns IA the
mouse without a stamp provision. that
there would be an interesting contest
over the question in that body.
Yesterday the senate. in passing tn.
resolution that was originally intro.
duced in the house. abolished the
stamp feature. and now house mem-
oers probably will refuse to concur
IN the senate's amendment.
Many OF the legislators have cx-
pressed themselves on the subject and
aecIare that they are going to have
s'a.nIs or know the. reason why.

Overson also has a bill which pro-

property must be made out in duph-
cate and the copy be handed to mort

The question of making terms Of
omcials four years is raised in the
bill presented by Senator Mclean yes.

considerable support on account Of
the fact that Governor Hanna made
recommendations in his message that
such legislation be passed. To in

cash payment Of road taxes question
is one that has been agitated consid-
erably during the past two years.
The question was before the assem-
bly, in 1911 but failed Of passage.
Because Of the removal Of the coun-
ty seat Of Pembina county from the
city OF Pembina to Cavalier. Repre-
sentative Hedalen Of Walsh county
has introduced bill proposing the re-
moval Of the court chambers to Graf
ton.
A rather interesting situation arose
IN Pembina county by reason Of this
change. The county seat was at Cava-
lier. but the court chambers were
placed at Pembina. under statute.
thus creating a situation that was
rather unique.
The bill by Senator Talcott for a
$4,000 appropriation for the Graded.
rural and consolidated schools. is in
accordance with the recommendation
of State Superintendent E. j. Taylor
The bill proposes $4,000 annually for
the graded schools; $4,000 annually
for the consolidated schools; $4,000
annually for the rural schools. and
$4,000 for inspectors salary and ex-
penses.
Under these appropriation provi.
sions 1t would be possible to extend
state aid to greater number of
schools than 1t is now possible to help.
The consolidation feature is especially

cries have gone into districts where
there is a local creamery. offering q
higher price for the product than the
local company can pay. and when the
latter Is showed to the wall, the prices

Senator jacobson makes this prac-
tice unlawful and provides a penalty
for violations. The attorney general
and the dairy department of the state
have both been interested in investi.
cations in to such alleged unfair dis.
during the past year or
two.
It is quite generally admitted that Q
revised code for the state Is necessary.
