HIGHWAY ACT GOES BACK

One Of the most important bills that
can come up at this session, If the
claims of it's advocates are to be be-
lieved, passed the senate Saturday
afternoon without any discussion to
speak of and is now ready for the
governors signature. This was House
Bill 4S, fixing comprehensive maxi
mum schedule of freight tariffs on 4
distance basis. The bill is duplicate
of that introduced in the 18th assem-
bly, by Railroad Commissioner Du-
puis of Temple, then a member of the
house, with the exception that the
1919 model includes tariffs OH Ignite.
which were omitted from the original
bill.
The bill is designed. it is claimed,
to reduce all North Dakota intrastAte
rates, and to make it possible = for
wholesalers and jobbers Of Fargo,
Grand Forks. Minot, Devils Lake,
jamestown, Bismarck, Mandan and
other centers to compete on q more
equitable basis with the larger estab-s
lishments in the Twin Cities and Du-
luth. The effect of the bill, 1t is also
claimed will be to reduce Interstate
rates. There is a very decided reduc-
ton on intrastate rates in Ignite,
which is expected to further the de-
velopment of this important resource.
The amended highway commission
bill. s. B. 81. now providing for II
straight two per cent registration fee
on the list price Of automobiles, was
referred to the committee on high
ways The bill transfers the motor
vehicle registration department from
the office of the secretary Of state to
the highway commission. It fixes 81
per annum as the minimum fee for
the registration Of automobiles, but
on two per cent basis. the first-year
fee on new car would average bet
ter than $12. Even the cheapest Of
pleasure vehicles would pay regis
tration fee Of $40 or more. Some
members of the senate believed this
fee too high. and this was reason
for re-referring the measure.
The senate passed on third reading
the following:
S. r. 1913. leSalizing certain acts of
city. village and school district Of
ficials.
s. B. 14O. designating venereal dis
eases and regulating their treatment.
s. B. sc. requiring railroads to COLI

SOLON HEARS FROM HOME

Two years ago Speaker Howard r.
Wood and Rep. Anthony Walton of
Ward, two OF the league leaders in
the house, introduced nonpartisan
election bill which passed the house
with a. solid league majority, but
which was killed by standpat forces
in, the senate. Saturday tables were
exactly reversed, and the nonpartisan
ballot bill introduced by Rep Burtness
of Grand Forks, q member of the
minority, was voted down by the
league majority in the house.
The Burtness bill, sfo. Is, came In
from committee with q recommenda-
ton that consideration be indefinite.
lys postponed: Burtness protested
against the adoption of this report. He
declared his bill an exact copy in i'm
p0rtant details of the measure which
the league advocated two years ago.
He called the house roll on the league
bill in the 18TH assembly, proving that
all of the leaguersi reelected to this
assembly had voted for this bill two
years ago. 5,.- H2s

The NOnpartisan caucus will have

Olsness, who aslnatte q careful study
Of hail insurance measures in force
in various American states and the
western provinces of the dominion,
together with new measures which
other state assemblies now have un-
der consideration.
Three plans will come before the
caucus for approval. One of these
contemplates strictly mutual ar
rangement, in which the tillers or
owners Of all cultivated lands will
participate Another provides for a
flat tax Of five cents an acre to apply
on all crop lands. There would be no
withdrawal upon the part of owners
of such lands from this flat tax, but
provision would be made to permit
them to withdraw, on or before June
Is, each year, from the mutual fea-
lures. which would provide for the
assessment of costs on a. pro-rata
absis against members Of the fund, in
the. fall, after all losses had been
reported and adjusted.
The third plan ,contemplates a flat
tax of three cents per acre on all
tillable lands, to, include cropped
lands and lands which are tillable but
unfenced, and to, exclude all until
able and unfenced lands, with the
same withdrawal privileges as In the
second scheme, and with the. same
mutual assessment features.
In all cases the assessment would
be made in the fall, after the extent
of damage to growing crops had, been
ascertained. and this assessment
would be spread on the tax rolls of
the various counties and collected as
other taxes are collected. Under
this plan the fund would not become
actually available until the following
spring, but immediate indemnity could
be provided farmers suffering losses
through the medium Of interest bear
ing warrants to be issued by the state
auditor or order of the hall insurance
department.
Last year about lS,O0O,OOO acres VI
land were under cultivation in North
Dakota. A flat tax of five cents per
acre on this area would yield q fund
OF 5000, 900 per annum. Then, should
the losses in any given year exceed
that amount = which they probably
will every. year-th difference will
be made up by mutual assessment. A
loss of $1S,OOO,000 would necessftate
an assessment OF 95 cents per acre.
II the farmers were indemnified IN
full.

LODGE DELIVERS ADDRESS
Eulogizes Qualities Which En-
!I9 deared Former President
EsiIt -
aoos u to His Country .a

Washington, Feb, 10.-In solemn
services within the house chamber
Sunday the nations leaders and rep
resentatives of foreign governments
paid tribute to the memory of Theo
dOre Roosevelt. Members of con
gress, supreme court justices, mem
bers Of the cabinet, army and navy
officers, and diplomats of many ma
tions heard Senator Lodge of Massa
chusetts, praise Roosevelt as a states
man and asa man.
Crowded galleries and the throng
of men and women who could not
gain admission testified to the person
al feeling for the man whose death
shocked the world. 1t was this to
which Senator Lodge, close friend
of the man he eulgized, referred when
he spoke these words in the stiffness
of the house chamber. *
"A tower is fallen, a star is set!
Alas! Alas for Cehn.
"The words of lamentation from the
old Moorish ballad, which in boyhood
we used to recite, must, think, have
risen to many lips when the world
was told that Theodore Roosevelt was
dead. But whatever the phrase the
thought was instant and everywhere.
"Variously expressed, you heard 1t
in the crowds about the bulletin
boards, from the man in the street
and the man on the railroads, from
the farmer in the fields. the women
in the shops, in the factories, and in
the homes. The pulpit found in his
life a text for sermons. The judge
on the bench, the child at school
alike paused for moment conscious
of loss. The cry of sorrow came
from men and women of all condi-
tions, high and low, rich and poor,
from the learned and the ignorant.
from the multitude who had loved and
followed him, and from those who
had opposed and resisted Thin. The
newspapers pushed aside the absorb
ing reports of the events of these
fateful days and gave pages to the
man who had died.
"Flashed beneath the ocean and
through the air went the announce
r.ent OF Theodore Rooseveit's death,
and back came a worldwide response
from courts and cabinets, from press
and people, in other and far-distant
lands. Through it all ran golden
thread of personal feeling which
CLEANS so rarely in the somber form
alism of public grief. 1t would seem
that here was man, a private cftl-
zen, conspicuous by no office. with
not glitter of power about him, no
ability to reward or punish, gone
from earthly life, who must have
been unusual even among the leaders
of men, and who thus demands our
serious consideration"
Senator Lodge was the only speak
er an odthe services were simple
Prayers by the senate and house chap
lains and anthems and patriotic
hymns by the Marine band added to
the stirring spiritual nature OF the
services.
"We can not approach Theodore
Roosevelt along the beaten paths Of
eulogy oh salty ourselves with the
empty civilities of comomnplace fun
eral tributes" said Senator Lodge
"for he did not make his life journey
over main-traveled roads nor was he
