The House Of Representatives was
the scene Of brief turbulent dispute

Senate Bill No. 81 and when the
smoke of battle had cleared away the
bill. which appropriates $28,2OS.o4 TO
repav a loan made by Andrew Carne-
pie. deceased philanthropist, IN l9o|
for the building of Carnegie Hall at
the Glendale Normal School, was ae-
clared passed, Al to AZ, and the
"clincher" motion was applied, pre-
venting reconsideration.
The measure, which had passed
the Senate, provided for the taking
IN of revenue warrants held by the
Home Trust Company of HobokeA'
New Jersey, executor of the Carnc-
rie estate. The trust company had
sued the state but Judge JansonluS
of district court held that the sta.a
owed moral but not legal obll-
cation to repay the sum of $35,OOO,
with interest, advanced for the build
ing of Carnegie Hall. The Legislative
appropriation then was sought.
The first roll call taken by K. W.
Frazier acting roll call clerk, show
ed 81 to AZ. Several members had
changed their vote, and Rep. koot
of Dickey county had changed his
vote from "aye" to ''no", believing
the bill failed to command major
itv. for the purpose of reconsidera-
ton. A little later Frazier informed
Sneaker LaTkin that an error hao
been discovered, and the bill COM
manded but Sc "aye" votes, one less
than a majority. This was after Rep.
Twichell had made a motion to re-
consider the vote by which the bill
was passed and lay the motion on
the table-preventing reconsldera-
ton,
Speaker Larkin ordered vertical
ton of the roll call. Mr.. Twlcheli
objected, declaring that business had
interviewed and under the rules OF
the house the measure had been dis
posed of and could not be reconsider
cd. Rep. Burns inquired how he was
counted, and when informed he was
listed as voting mo" said he hae
voted aye. Rep. Eckert said HI
had changed his vote to "no'. TN!
left 81 votes, bare majority, To-
the bill.
Notification Had
Sneaker Larkin declared that n
would put motion for veriflcatlol
of the roll call. Rep. Watt rose an'
declared he objected to any sucl
preceding. and that it was not &C
cording to House rules. Rep. Twic
hell also denied that authority o
the speaker to take this action
Speaker Larkin then said he recog
nized their position, but in the inter
est of fairness asked that the Hous
vote to reconsider, which the Hous'
did. On the verification of the rol
call, several corrections were found
members being listed as absent whel
they voted or listed as voting wrong
Nv, and the final result was that tn
bill passed Wearied by this time
the House agreed without mucn dis
sent to the "clincher" motion. TIL
bill now will 60 to the Governor. A
the conclusion Speaker Larkin de
clared 'this ought to show we ar
not trying to slip anything over
just to be fair"
The House passed, SO to IS, re
solution addressed "to the people o
North Dakota and to the parents il
particular" setting out that Grim

things have been emphasized NOR

phasis on morality and good con
science, respect for age and exper
fence" in the schools, and teaching
of spiritual subjects.
Some members objected on tn
ground that it was an attempt to in
ject religion in the public schools.
Resolution To Congress
Another resolution, which passed
asked that Congress speed up agri
cultural relief legislation, declared
for the principles of the protective
tariff, but said that the tariff as j
operates now does not give to agri
culture the same protection it doe
to other businesses, and asked tina
the disparity be removed. The mea
sure also urged Congress to devils
means Of segregating the exportabl
surplus Of farm products, or max
it possible fol. farmers to segregat
it, so that this surplus shall not de
press farm products prices to an un
warranted degree. The measur

luton urged the Interstate Commerc
Commission to order railroads t
give return transportation to tn
shipper of one or more carloads Q
livestock.
