More action and fewer words mark
ed the session OF the North Dakota
house Thursday. Thirteen bills were
passed, one was voted down on the
floor and seven were killed. In ad-
dition the house concurred in senate
amendments to two bills which it had
previously passed.
The bill to repeal the flat hail tax
on all tillable land in the state pass
ed with a G2 to 10 vote and the clinch-
er motion was carried Immediately
afterward. Nonpartisans had ex-
hausted themselves in argument in
the committee of the whole yesterday
and contented themselves with voting
against it. 1t is understood that the
minority faction will ask the governor
to veto the bill. J. II. Burkhart, mi

statement on the measure when he
saIa that the present law provides for
dropping the flat tax when the hail

Why?
They thought that by stag

their chances of escape would
be better. THEY HAD NO
