Senate Bills up for Passage.
Senator Talcott moved a recon
sideration of senate bill No. 20, re-
lating to what property was exempt
for taxation. This bill was put to a
vote when the senate took the recess
last Thursday, but as it had only
received % votes because of the abb
sence of so many senators Mr.. Talcott
thought it only fair that it be con-
sidered again. He said however, that
his attention hat maybe that 500
worth of property exempt from taxa
ton was making the mount some
what too high, and he offered an
amendment to the effect the amount
be placed at $50. Senator Bronson
thought if the bill was to be amend
ed that it ought to go over for an
other day for further consideration,
and the bill went over.
S. B. No. IA, relating to the exter-
mination of gophers, was put on
third reading, but Senator Hyland
called attention to the fact that SEN
ator Englund the author Of the bill
was delayed at Valley City on his re-
turn to the capital that the bill should
be delayed till he did return here, and
that bill also went over for another
Cay.

prevents the sale of snuff In North

calendar, but as MI. Bond has been un-
able to reach Bismarck, that bill also

Morton Members FiIibuster.
When Senator Talcott offered a me
ton that the senate concur in the house
resolution memoriaIizing congress IN
the support of the Kenyon-Shepard
bill now before congress there seemed
to be an attempt on the part of the
two senators from Morton county &c
filibuster the resolution. Mr.. Talcott
wanted the resolution amended by
memorializing the members Of both
branches from North Dakota. but Sem
ator Leutz wanted the resolution re-
ferred to the committee on temperance
He thought there would be plenty OF
time to inform congress by wire what
the action of our legislature had been
There was some mirth expressed when
Senator Hanley said he was not ex-
actly clearly. informed as to what the
Kenyon bill provided and he asked
Senator Talcott to explain. However
from the remarks offered by Senators
Talcott, Bronson, Hanley and Gordon
it was learned that all that the Ken
yon bill would do relating to the ship
ment of liquor into prohibition states
would be to take away the protection
of the interstate commerce commission
when liquor Is shipped here for the
purpose Of violating the prohibition
law, and when 1t was discovered thai
the bill did not affect liquor shipped tt
private consumers the resolution was
adopted by the senate with Senator
Leutz about the only dissenting.
