Resolution to Ask Chamber
Members to Appear and
Express Opinion - Law
making Going Serenely On
After the Excitement of
Farmers Day.

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 4.-The sena-
tors are going to 60 on record as be-
ing willing to allow the people Of the
state to vote on the four year term
proposition for state and county OFF,
GERS. This was done when Senate
Bills No. u, 73 and rs were passed
yesterday. These bills had been once
indefinitely postponed in the commit
tee of the whole and were then recon-
sidered and placed on their third
reading. There was very little oppO-
sition to the first two bills which pro-
vide for four year term for state off,
cials and limit them to one term.
There was however considerable opp0-
sition to granting the same rights to
county officers. The fight against the
bill was lead by Senator Davis who
took the ground that in the counties
the officers were we'll known to all
the voters and if efficient service had
been rendered there would be but lit
tie question about their having Sec
ond term, and at little expense for
election. When the vote was taken it
was found that there were 26 fav-
oring giving county officers four year
terms and 20 opposed to the PROPOSE
ton with absent and nv- voting. An
effort to attach the clincher motion
proved futile.
Senator Hughes of Bismarck offer.
ed a resolution asking the representa-
tives of the Chamber of Commerce of
Minneapolis to appear before the SEN
ate and give their ideas on terminal
!! elevator proposition but it was not
adopted. 1t will probably result how
ever in no other resolutions of like
character being adopted.
H. B. No. 67 providing that all
estray paper shall be published in on,
regular column and not scattered over
the paper to be used as filters passed
the senate.
| H. B. No. 40, by Bratton and which
relates to the publication of the de-
linquent tax list was amended in
number of ways and then it was de-
cided to hold it up for few days in
order to ascertain whether or not
changes could be advantage0usly
made.

Auditors and Treasurers'
Salaries Will BE Held for
Statement--Lathrope Com
mittee Asks for More Time

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 5.-The spec
ial committee appointed from the
house and senate appropriation com
mittees in concurrence with the Lath-
rop resolution calling for an investiga.
tion into the finances Of the state has
made its first report. The joint ap'
preparations committee held a meet.
ing last night at which the report was
adopted and ordered printed in the
journal of the house and OF the senate
The report follows a couple of
weeks of very hard work on the part
of the committee which is composed
of Senators Kretschmer, Albrecht anu
Sanstrom and Representatives Dick
inson, Twichell and Knox. In it at
tention is called to the laxity of bust
ness methods employed in some of the
state institutions and departments
and recommends that drastic changes
be made.
The report of the committee recon-
mends assessment at the full valua-
tion of property, the cutting out of the
mill taxes for the time being and sew
eral other measures. The committee
favors the organization of board OF
regents for the control of the educa-
tional institutions of the state and has
the endorsement of the joint commit
tee from the house and the senate in
that matter.
There still remains a great deal Of
work for the committee to do and it is
expected that there will be two or
more reports in addition to the one
made yesterday before the work of the
committee is completed.
A request is made that the time for
the introduction of appropriation bills
be extended as the committee has a
number of bills to introduce and it will
be impossible for them to get them in
shape until they have gone over the
entire educational situation and ascer-
tanned just how much money they will
have to give out. It is understood
that the committee is simply making
recommendations and that final &C.
tion will evolve about the vote of the
entire membership of the house and
the senate.

better basket shooters.
The game was characterized by the
clean playing of both teams, only one
foul being called during the entire

played a wonderful defensive game
and proved to be the most dangerous
man for the locals when within shoot
