in meeting, voted to kill both bills.

against permitting use of hunting
dogs without restriction, but will
continue discussion on proposals that
retrieving dogs be allowed, and it is
possible that a measure will be
placed before the legislature to per-
nit this

cussed at length the method of cer-
tification of seed, particularly al

Vaccination Bills
After public hearing last night
on the bills providing for compul-
sorry vaccination the Senate public
health committee decided to hold
another hearing. Wallace Campbell
Of Bismarck and Edgar LaRue Of
Devils Lake spoke at length against
compulsory vaccination. No speaker
appeared for the bills.
Several county officials, including
August krantz, chairman of the board
of commissioners of Ward county, C..
j. Kopriva, auditor of Burke county,
and w. |. Struble auditor of LaMoure
county, discussed delinquent tax
sales and conditions with the House
committee on taxation. The commit
tee discussed, but did not take ac-
tion on House Bill No. 80 doing
away with the. present system of de-
linquent tax sales. The proposed
system would be for the county tc
take over all lands on which taxes
are delinquent, issue certificates of
Indebtedness against the delinquent
taxes, to get funds, and after three
years, allowing for method of re-
demption, the county would take the
lands and sell them. No action was
taken by the committee. Senate bill
No. l also is aimed to cure alleged
defects of the present delinquent
tax sale system, but does not change
the system entirely.
The Bismarck corn show bill was
before the Senate appropriations
committee, which voted to kill it,
but it was decided later to recon-
slider the bill.

the house voted to kill Senate Bill
