ON PROPOSED BILL
(contiuued from page ~

He also made the remark that he
did not want the house to get the idea
that bills were being killed in the ju-
dietary committee for the purpose of
seeing blood splash" but that they
carefully considered every phase OF
the matter and must watch all legis-
lation and e that every measure fit
ted in with others and all worked out
for the good Of the state. He stated
that a good many proposed amend
ments to the constitution were offered
the assembly without proper though,
having been given by the authors. He
made the statement that two bills
have been brought before the commit
tee containing provisioning the same
as contained in laws passed at the las,
session. Mr.. Dewitt spoke for upwards
Of half an hour and a listened to
with interest by the entire member
ship and q large audience of sena.
tors and visitors.
Let 1t Go to the People.
n. o. johnson Of Towner who ia.
vored having the committee make q
favorable report stated that If the bill
had done nothing else it had started
something and the report Of inactiv-
ity In the house Of representatives
had been given a body blow. He
called attention to the fact that IA
vorable consideration of the bill al
this time did not mean that 1t would
be enacted into a law but that II
would simply give the people of the
state a chnace to express their opin.
ion and he wondered if there was a
suspicion in the minds of some oppos.
ed to the measure that it would not
be q safe measure to let the people
have a chance at 1t. Hendricksor
speaking a second time on his meas.
ure reiterated that he thought the bill.
a good one in spite Of the arguments
Of the opposition and he believes tina,
the majority of the house would sec
the matter in the same light he did.
Lambert Of Ward was against the
measure and said that he was of the
opinion that q mistake had been made
in even introducing the measure and
pleaded for indefinite postponement
He enlivened his argument with a few
good stories applicable to the situa.
ton and stated hat he did not ap.
prove Of %curtailing the power Of the
supreme court Of the state. At this
stage Of the game Dean of Grand
Forks moved that the committee arise
After explanation by the chair that
this left the bill in the same condi.
