his measure, not popular even in
the people.
The league must have SO votes
to give it a two-thirds majority
in the house. Fourteen were abb
sent and not voting when the
leagues educational bill came up,
but they were evenly divided be-
tween leaguers and non-leaguers,
and there is no certainty that the
required five of the seven leag-
uers who were absent would have
voted for this bill had they been
in their seats when the roll was
called.
Beginning to Think.
Many Of the more conservative
leaguers, especially those who possess
considerable property and have some
thing at stake, are beginning to give
thought to- the. league program. And
the more they think 1t over, apparent
ly, the less disposed they are to rush
head-long into the more radical fea.
lures OF the league program. It was
this situation that Governor Frazier
and President A. c. T0wnley had In.
mind last week when they addressed
the league caucus urging more speed.
Thine is rapidly passing" said the
governor. But few of our important
measurer have been passed. It is time
to put through those bills"
The governor would have kept with.
hoH hn ck~
and said: None of our important
measures has been passed"
Some forty bills have passed both
houses and await the governors sig
nature. Aside from an amended grain
grading bill, introduced by Senator
Drown, author of the original act
passed in 1917, and which was not in
cluded in the league program, not q
single important measure is included
in this number. Not one of the forty
may be considered by any possible
stretch of the imagination as league
program measure.
Six League Bills. 70 gTa
But six bills before the house may
be considered program measures, says
President Townley. Only these six
need be passed, he stated. The null
titude of minor bills, numbering $50.
still under consideration, could all be
ditched, Mr.. Townley says, without
harm to anyone.
The president of the National Non
puartisan league does not name the
six league program measures upon
whose early passage he insists. They
may be considered, however, to be
the following:
Industrial commission bill, naming
the governor, attorney general and
of agriculture q commits
sion to control and operate all state
enterprises and industries.
Bank of North Dakota bill, Great
ing a central reserve and farm loan
