peared to the senate to give those
who were in power in municipal
politics a chance to build up a ma
chine and the bill was killed when Il
came to final passage.
House bill No. 319 was introduced
for the purpose of giving the secre-
tary of the state more time in which
to get out the publicity pamphlet
which is required under the election
laws and the bill passed. 1t was
stated once during the argument over
this bill that it was necessary two
years g to send the work out Of
the state in order to- have it done as
there were not any shops in the state
that were large, enough to handle it.
THAI was a mis-statement as the
work was let by bid and The Devils
Lake Journal secured the work and
they were not able to handle 1T and
sent it to a twin city firm and the
deputy secretary of state was sent
to the office where the work was be-
ing done to see that 1t was out on
time and the proof properly read.
There are at least three Offices in the
state where the work could have been
handled, The Times Herald of Grand
Forks, Walker Bros. & Hardy Of
Fargo and The Tribune Co., Of Bis
marck.
The senate passed house bill No. 80.
which provides that where a con-
stitutional amendment is printed on
a ballot that part of the amendment
which contains the change from the
present law shall be printed in black
face type so that the voter may know
just what change he is voting for.
senator diversion moved that the
vote by which senate bill No. 1853 was
defeated be reconsidered and the mo-
ton carried and then the bill put on
third, reading again and with the
passage a start was made toward a
change in the assessment plan of the
state for if the bill becomes a.. law
there will be a county assessor who
will have charge Of the assessment
OF the entire county.
After there had been a conference
OF the joint committee on rules it was
decided that rule 10 should be made
to read so that it would allow of the
transmission of senate bills TO the
house and house bills to the senate
until 10 o'clock this morning when it.
is expected all business will be clean
ed up and neither house will have
anything to consider except bills from
n other house for the remainder of
the session.
The first bill to be received in the
senate with a vote from the governor
was senate bill No. 1872 which provides
for extra clerk hire for registers of
deeds. This is the bill that the sen
ate tried to get back from the COVER
nor which he declared he had no right
to SEND back.
