First Real Division Appears
in Senate on Grain Bill
Resolution

Possible Investigation Of the con-
dition surrounding the activities and
condition of the North Dakota State
Guaranty Fund Commission was
presaged in the demand for a roll
call yesterday afternoon made by
Senator H. J. Rusch, (Ind.) Cass
county in the vote on adoption Of
his resolution calling for a report
from the Fund commission relative
to the actual status of closed banks
in the state.
1T is my understanding that the
rules of the house do not require q
roll call on resolutions which do not
involve appropriations nor amend
ments to the constitution" said 1t.
Gov. Frank Hyland.
Nevertheless l should like q roll
call" said the senator from Cass.
But this resolution as / under
stand it does not call for any appro-
.priation," responded the speaker.
THAT is true" replied Senator
Rusch to the chair, "but understand
that the Guaranty Fund commission
is prepared and ready to make a de-
tailed report. This won't cost aus a
cent but you can't tell what the
cost might be after we get took
at it,"
And the roll call taken was q unan-
imous as favoring the call for the
detailed report.
First Fractional Fight
Four Senators were absent and no:
voting today when the senate passed
five bills, re-referred one measure
to the committee, passed the first
measure introduced by a nonpartisan
league senator, held up action on a
divided report on a memorial to con-
gress and listened to Former Lieu
tenant Gov. A. T. Krasbel plead for
harmony. The four absent senator's
Lynch. Fleckten, McLachlin and
Miklethun had gone to Fargo to at
tend the various agricultural or
ganization meetings now in conven-
ton there.
Senator VIM. Martin of Morton
met no difficulty in a suggestion
that Senator Stevens measure rela-
tive to requirements for registered
graduate nurses be re-referred to
committee.
The first sign of factional diff
ference between the independents
and the nonpartisan league groups
in, the senate. came with the defer
ring Of action on the jackson and
1ngerson resolutions memorializing
congress to develop farm produce
price sterilization legislation.
The committee of agriculture to
which the two resolutions had been
referred brought in a divided report
on factional lines, the league group
urging adoption Of the Ingerson res
olution in q minority report, the in
dependents urging adoption of the
Rep. Jackson resolution in q ma.
Jority report. The two measures are
practically the same, except in one
detail. The Jackson measure intro
duced and passed in the house urges
congress to pass legislation for the
stabilizatio9 Of grain prices, but fix
es no specific legislation, measures
or methods by which the needed re-
lief may be gained. The other intro
duced by Senator Ingerson, Burke,
(N.) cites the same general chaotic
conditions in the marketing Of farm
produce but specifically calls upon
congress to approve the Norris,Sin.
