two of the most important me,suras
urged by the state administrator,
These were Senate Bill 277, which
provides for the liquidation Of the
North Dakota Home Building asso.
ciation under the direction of tn.
state industrial commission, and s. b
3SC, which remove; the control ,f
the state mill and elevator associa-
ton from the Industrial Commission
and places it in the hands of Il non.
political board of managers
Both measures acre reported in ia
the senate on divided reports by the
state AFFAIR." committee, the Inde-
pendent majority of the committee
recommending the passage of the
bills and the Nonpartisan minority
their indefinite postponement.
In both cases the majority reports
were accepted by the senate the vote
being along party lines. There was
practically no debate in either case.
Accept Bank Report.
In the same way the senate accept.
ed the report of the majority mem
bers of the committee on banks and
banking which recommended TO,
passage Senate Bill 365, the bill in
troduced by Senate Walter Bond for
the repeal of the state guaranty OF
bank deposits effective July |, 1884
The vote on this measure was aise
along party lines. Its companion
bill creating the Office of supreme
court commissioner, and giving tina,
tribunal original jurisdiction for the
liquidation of insolvent banks, Wa.
accepted for passage on report OF
the same committee.
All of these measures will be o.
the calendar for third reading ant
final passage today.
Had the AK Out.
At the same time the upper house
of the Legislature had its AK out dur
ing the yesterday afternoon session
and ruthlessly slaughtered Il number
of measures. One Of these was Sen
ate Bill PAT, introduced by Senator
Eastgate Of Grand Forks, which
would have. repealed the present Law
requiring the union label to appea,
on state printing. The bill came II
on divided report from the com
mittee on public printing. Senator
Whitson of Grand Forks called for ,
roll call vote and the bill was killed
| 32 to II.
A good grist of bills was passee
in the course of the afternoon. T,
the surprise of many the TofsruC
bill. providing for system of farm
storage of grain, and the obtaining
of loans thereon by warehouse re-
| ceipts was passed by a vote of 30 e
II, without any particular fight OF
the bill being made by the league
senators, who had formerly favored
bill along similar lines introduced
I'by Senator Hamilton.
Have New Bills.
1t was found necessary in the
course of the afternoon to appoint {
committee on delayed bills, as -four
senators asked for the suspension o.
the rules to permit them to intro
duce measures. This committee vii
examine the bills in question ant
will report to the senate on the ad
visibility of permitting their intro
duction. A two-thirds vote of tht
senate will be necessary, however, tt
obtain permission for the introduc
tion Of any measure.
Senator Whitman Of Grand Fork.
gave notice of his desire to introduc.
bill for the repeal of the present
state licensing department, or poo
hall inspection law. His bill is yer!
similar to that which was killed il
the house, but is slightly amended
SO that in Senator Whitman's opin
ion it is likely to pass the house il
it first gets by the senate success
fully. This is one of the bills which
will 20 before the committee on de
layed bills.
Minot Gets Appropriation.
Consideration of S. B. 70, for az
act creating new state fair at Mi
not and $4,000 annual appropria
| tion developed hot argument ovel
the values of fairs and the need o.
economy. Senator Lynch started tn
fireworks by suggesting that th'
proper course for the senate to fol
low would be to eliminate appropria
tions to all the state fairs, Crane
Forks, Fargo and Mandan, not to en-
dow new one. No party lines were
drawn in the following debate, sen
ators of either faction expressing
themselves for or against the new
fair appropriation. Ettestad, Ham
ilton, Benson, Patteh, all leaguers
Bond and others spoke for "fai
deap' for i. the northwest corner o.
the state with Levang, Olson, Nathan
Ward, leaguers, and Page and Lynch
independents, opposing new apprc
/ priation. On the soll call the bill
passed 33 to IA.
Senator Whitman's bill, originall!
drawn to define carnivals and regu
late them, was passed as rewritten
The measure now provides machin
cry by which officials or various com
munities are able to and are charge
TO enforce the law. 1t lays spc:ia
stress on games o. chance, lot.erie
and "all skin games" and provides
