What he Legislature IS Doing

Bismarck, n D., Jan. Is, 1921.-
There is not much resemblance be-
tween the activities Of the present
session of the legislative assembly
and the session OF two years ago.
Then there was a disposition on
the part of the great majority OF
members to get the necessary laws
under way to carry out the pro-
gram the people demanded; now
the house majority of obstruction
lists seem determined to prevent
anything constructive taking place
especially along lines connected
with the industrial program. AS
related last week they are using
tactics to keep affairs at the capi-
tol in state of turmoil. Last
week it was the passage of resolu-
tions to get the report of the Bishop
Bressman Co., and this week the
house majority passed resolution
condemning the Industrial Colnmis-
sion for not acceding to the de-
mands of Wall Street that the In
dustrial program be restricted to
the limit set by our would-be fin
ancial dictators.
1t has been week of inactivity
consisting of short sessions and
early adjournnents after the in
PRODUCTION of bills. The house
hasn't passed single bill up to
this time and the Senate has pass
ed but two, Senate Bill No. /, Re-
lating to attorneys right to prac-
tice and Senate Bill No. 6, appro-
pr1ating $4,000 to cover a deficit
in the attorney generals office.
The 1. V. AS in the Senate were
very much opposed to this bill,
evidently on account of their ap-
pathy to the new attorney general,
and the work he is doing.
They have placed themselves in
rather unenviable position by
taking the altitude they have, es-
pecially as the railroads have a
strong lobby here to prevent any
legislation that they consider as
detrimental to their interests.
Money enough in the attorney gen
erals department is considered
detrimental because it will enable
the attorney general to carry on
the railroad rate cases and defend
the state railroad commissions ie-
clslon not to allow them to ad-
vance rates, which will come be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission possibly in the near future.
