HAVE HOT DEBATE
League and Independent
Leaders Tangle in Debate
Over Subject
HAVE HOT : DEBATE

House Bill No. 229 which sets up
an entirely new classification of pro-
perty for taxation purposes, was
passed by the house yesterday after
noon by vote of 81 to Sc, with two
members, one League and one indie
pendent, absent and not voting.
The ballot came after half an
hours hot debate in which L. L..
Twichell of Cass county and Rep.
Starke of Stark county tangled YER
bally with F. A. Vogel, Elmer Cart
and Hempcl of Sheridan.
The debate started with an in
quiry by Rep. Starke directed to the
author of the bill as to just how
great an increased assessed valuation
the proposed new classification
would bring.
Rep. Cart replied $46,OoO,OOo," and
Rep. Starkc did not see where such
plan would reduce taxes any.
"Two years ago we put all proper
ty on one basis to be assessed at rs
percent Of its actual value" Rep.
Twichcll broke it," and we exempted
farm buildings and improvements. AS
result we cut the taxes of the
farmers.
lfl\ IIeckle Twicheli
.Twichel continued despite the roar
of jcers that arose, "And now you
leaguers are going to assess lands
on basis of 80 percent Of the ac-
tual value and you put the farmers
personal property in class to be
assessed at 60 percent of it's actual
value. You're hitting the farmer on
his land and putting on the taxation
rolls, property on which he is at
present exempted from paying taxes"
Vogel, League leader, defied Twic-
hell to show him one farmer who
paid less taxes the last year, and
Twichell shot back with the state
ment that 81 can direct you to doz-
en- of them / personally know Of"
Mr.. Hempel of Sheridan arose and
couldn't understand why Messrs'
Twichell and Starke couldn't see the
difference between classification
and assessment" end sat down when
Mr.. Starke demanded that he explain
the difference himself.
| Rep. Peters moved that further
consideration of the re-classification
be indefinitely postponed and on a
roll call vote the motion was defeat
ed 81 to 81. Rasmussen, Lacquer OF
Barnes, voted with the Independents
On roll call on final passage of the
bill the vote was 81 to 81, Hanson

FUNERAL HELD

Cave City, n.y., Feb. l6.-On the
hill above Sand Cave yesterday aft
ernoon his family and friends held
funeral services for Floyd Collins.
There was no casket, no corpse, no
grave and no marker.
Sixty feet underground in the
Sand cave trap which closed upon
him 1S days ago, lay the body of
Collins, discovered a few days too
late by the rescuers. Rather than
risk the lives Of any Of the tireless
volunteers, his family chose to leave
him in the cave for his last sleep.
Physicians, his friends, and Off
Gals Of the rescue party crept down
irto his narrow tomb where they
gathered the legal evidence that
Floyd was buried there and that he
was dead. None Of his family could
take a last look, but the thought that
Collins would have chosen such a
spot, among his beloved caves, COM
forted them.
Aged Parents Grief Stricken
Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Collins were
there, silent in the last earthly rites
for their son. The aged couple sat
side by side in small chairs near
the edge of the same limestone ledge
under which Sand cave disappears.
Behind him, standing on large
boulders overlooking the valley be-
low we're a dozen members Of a choir
gathered from among residents of
Cave City. Mr.. and Mrs. Collins
listened with bowed heads while
chords of Nearer, My God to Thee"
drifted over the hill as the services
opened.
The aged father glanced often to-
ward the mouth of Sand cave, 1875
feet away, as the words, "Thou like
the wanderer, the sun gone down"
floated away in the distance. Sand

MAY AGREE

Indications were this afternoon
that an agreement might be
reached by Independent and Nom
partisan forces in the state SEN
ate providing for changes in the
law governing the operation of
tho state mill and elevator at
Grand Forks. The point raised
by Senator Hamilton, that a two
thirds vote was necessary to
amend the act, has caused con-
sideratiOn of a compromise. 1t
is probable that amendments will
be permitted by Independents
providing for definite credits for
the mill, through the Bank of
