Bismarck. n. D., Feb. 12.-Ffshting
over a motion to reconsider the vote
by which the Fritz anti-upping hill
was lost the day before and resisting
an attempt to make track grain buy-
ers put up a bond, resulted in the
house of representatives of the thir.
teenth legislative session remaining in
session until little after O'clock la st
evening. Early in the session Fritz
moved that the vote by which his anti
tipping bill was lost be reconsidered.
but according to ruling of the speak
er. Williams of Burleigh. acting for
speaker Frame in his absence from
the city. the motion was hopelessly
lost. During recess some of the
members favoring the bill got their
heads together and Immediately fol-
lowing recess Ployhar of Barnes was
called to the chair and the figh. for
the bill started when Sorlie again
moved that the vote by which the bill
was lost be reconsidered. There were
then motions and counter motion and
argument and debate on everyone OF
them. Burnett declared during his
talk that the bill was "vicious. demor-
alizing and degrading and Cotton in
speaking against the necessity of the
bill stated that he had travelled ali
over the land and had never found
IT necessary to give tips. O'Connor of
Grand Forks explained that the bill
was directed more particularly at the
conditions that exist in the grain trade
where for a consideration he claimed
there were instances where one house
was able to get cars for shipment
while the other was forced to stop
buying grain on account Of the fact
that their buildings were filled. The
vote to reconsider was finally carried
and tho bill was put at the foot nf the
calendar to come up for third Reading
and final passage In its regular order.
| In the committee Of the whole with
Klein OF Stark In the chair there was
a clash when an attempt Was made
to recommend for passage Huso's hill
requiring that track. buyers Of grain
be compelled to put up a bond before
they can enter into the business Of
members who thought this law would
make 1t impossible for farmer to
purchase a few bushels Of grain to fill
a car and that there were other had
features about the bill while others
thought that track buyers should not
come In competition with regular ele-
|vator men and not be made to pay
license and put up a bond. After
good deal Of argument and at sos
motion to arise prevailed and the
house adjourned without taking ac-
tion.
| When house was called to order
there We're two motions to reconsider
votes by which bills had been lost
the day before but neither of them
carried at the time. although later in
the day the track buyer bill was TAX
en- up again but no action obtained
as it was after o'clock and a vote
had not been reached yet.
Many Got Third Reading.
