PASS"THE BUCK"
TO TIL HOUSE
Senate Favors Bill Continuing
Terminal Elevator Appropria-
tion for Two Years.

"Passing the Buck. to the house is
| the title of little drama enacted by
the senate yesterday when it voted
to levy tax of $4,000 for the years
1915 and 1916 for terminal elevators.
The bill as it came from the house
provided for $4,000 to be used by
the railway commission to investi-
gate the feasibility of state owned
and operated terminal elevators and
repeating the one-eighth of one mill
levy for the elevator fund.
Senator Bronson contended that if
all mill levies were to be repealed ana
the institutions affected given a
straight appropriation in lieu thereof
that the terminal elevator fund should
be treated in the same way.
Senator Davis opposed the PROPOSE
ton on the ground that this would be
holding up lot of money for prop
osition" that appeared to him to be
castle in the air.
His sentiments were cOnculred in
by Senator Jacobsen, who presented
petition from large number Of farm
ers in his district opposed to terminal
elevators.
Upon a roll call, on the Bronson
amendment the vote stood rs to 81
with two absent and not voting.
Senator Bond then offered an amend
ment that the railway commissioners
be directed to make their inquiry in.
clude the feasibility of establishing
terminal elevators within the state in
accordance wi.L the constitutional
amendment passed last fall. This
passed and Senator Bond presented
farmers petitions favoring terminal
elevators.
When the bill came up for passage
on it's merits all but three senators
leaped for the band wagon. Thus was
'the buck" slipped to the house. 1t
is doubtful whether the senate will
Loncur in these amendments. At any
rate the senate was determined to
have it's little joke. Senators Clark,
Mclean and Young refused to join
in the conspiracy and voted against
the bill.

Tuttle, N. D., March 4.-Special-
The home OF the Tuttle Reporter, one
Of the best known weeklies in Kidder

HeckIe Bill Killed.

HeCkIe Bill Nllieo.
The Heckle bill, providing for one
tax commissioner in place Of the pres
ent tax commission failed of passage
in the house by just one vote yester-
day afternoon and the clincher was
applied, thus making two-thirds
vote necessary to reconsider the bill.
Treadwell Twichell championed the
bill and was assisted by l.. l.. Twicll-
oil and others. A. G.. Divet Of Rich
land, Lathrop of Steele and Griggs,
Converse of Mckenzie, Smith of Ward
and lHj6rt of Adams and Hettinger
opposed the Dill and argued for the
present tax commission.
- Pernicious Activity.
Treadwell Twichell charged the
members of the present tax commits
sion with being perniciously active in
politics. A couple of weeks ago the
Lathrop committee, in view Of the
fact that the Heckle bill had passed
the senate by such large majority
and because of the decrease in the
appropriation for this department in
case the bill passed the house and
UCCdIlC q law, uhuCI tooh w oO"'"
the members of the house upon the
bill At the time this check was TAX
en- there were y house members
who said that they were going to vote
for the Heckle bill The noticeable
decrease in the supporters OF the bill
was pointed out by Mr. Tiwichell Ms
good proof of the pernici6us political
activity OF Messrs. Packard, ct al.
As to the charge made by one OF
the opponents of the Heckle bill that
Governor Hanna had been sending
notes to the members of the house
calling them down to the governors
Office for conferences over this bill,
the speaker merely stated that he
had been advised by the governor
that no such notes had been sent to
any member of the house. 1t was left
to the members of the house them
selves whether they would take the
word of the man selected by the peo'
pie of the state to fill the highest Of
flee in their power to give or that OF
the gentleman who argued at such
length in behalf of the present mem
hers of the tax commission
On the Payroll.
The speaker stated that investiga-
tion Of the payroll of the tax COM
mission showed the name Packard on
the list for the last month three diff.
ferent times. He questioned whether
or not the state had intended to Gre
ate these family berths.
Charges had been made, he said, to
the effect that the I.athrop commit
tee was being handled and heeled'
to exert its influence for the bill,
This he designated as being the
cheapest kind Of politics.
The Roll Call.
Representative Thompson OF Ward
then moved the previous question and
the main q lestion was put A call
of the house was granted and Messrs.
Bass, Jahr and Rott were absent, all
having been excused When II was
found that Representative Rott was
in the building the sergeant-at-arms
was instructed to bring him to the
chamber and the vote was then taken.

URGING PLACING
Permanent SHOW
STATE FOOD AND DAIRY COMMITS.
sloNER WANTS TO HAVE PRO-
DUCTS PUT ON DISPLAY.

Des Moines, Aug. gov. B. Barney,
state dairy and food commissioner, is
urging the placing of a permanent
Iowa exhibit in Des Moines, in which
all of the products of this state will
be displayed. He declares that in
this way the visitors who come to the
capitol will get an idea Of the great
ness Of this state.
Owing to the fact that Iowa at
tracted so much attention at the San
Francisco exposition, and that we
captured the first prize on agricul-
tural exhibits, this state will get
many more tourists in the future -
said Mr. Barney. 1--WE have no way
OF showing the tourists what we have
here. If we had a big permanent
exhibit showing the things we raise
and the things we make, it would be
an immense benefit to the state in a
business way.
In California there are many such
buildings. Some Of them are as large
as the coliseum of Des Monies. And
those states do not have half of the
big things to show that Iowa has.
The state food and dairy depart
ment will reproduce the Iowa agri-
cultural exhibit which won first prize
at the San Francisco fair for the
Iowa state fair. It will be modelled
out of butter and will be labeled

TO make $4,000
CHANGES IN RIVER
As SOON As WoRkMEN CAN GET
10 BANKS BIG IMPROVEMENTS
BEGIN ON MISSISSIPPI.

Hannibal, Mo-, Aug. 20.-River i'm
provement work which will cost $40,-
600, will be done between Hannibal
and Quincy just as soon as the river
subsidies to the extent that workmen
can get to the banks. Captain Fetter,
Of Quincy, has been awarded the con-
tract by the United States govern
ment for dam and revetment between
the two cities.
At the present time the river is
several feet too high and what work
could be done would probably be de-
stroyed If a big rise came before 1t
could be completed.
Captain Fetter Is now in Musca-
tine, L., on business mission but
will return to Quincy in short time
and make preparations to start the
instant that conditions are favorable.
The Gardie Eastman, the tow boat,
Is in Minnesota, but will be back to
these parts so as to engage in the
work when 1t starts.
The contract Is for work to be
done between here and Quincy ex-
clusively, and is strictly dam and shore
work. In a number Of places the
channel has become wide and not
closely defined and at these places
bikes will be thrown out to make the
river cut in. In other places the river
has threatened to break through the
land and the shores will be temporar-
lily strengthened to guard against such
an occurrence.
Captain Fetter has year to COM
plete the contract.
