road
In a statement, Mr.. Donnelly said
that the commission had found the
tentative value Of the property used
by the railroad for transportation
purposes to be $415,255,915 as of June
80, 1917.
The company contends, however,

admit the validity of this method of
fixing or ascertaining values. 1t
insists, on the contrary, that in as
certaining present value, unit prices
should be used"

SLOPE S0LONS
DISAGREE ON
TIME MEASURE
House Buries Bill BY So to 46
Vote Yesterday - Morton.
Adams, Dunn Men Favor II

With western Dakota members
deadlocked on the proposed bill to
put the Slope country into central
time, the house yesterday voted to
Kill the measure, SO to 46.
Representatives from Morton,
Stark, Adams, Dunn and Oliver
counties supported the bill, while
so!ons from Sioux and Md,cer
county opposed it in discussion i'm
committee Of the whole.
At the suggestion of several
members from other sections,
poll was taken CT the western
members so that the others might
vote to give the majority what
they wanted
Members Deadlock
The scheme failed when the vote
was . to 8. Two were missing.
Richard Bubcl, Oliver county,
said he could see no reason for a
difference in time between Bis
marck and the western part of the
state, but o. c. Martin, Slope
county, opposed the bill on the
ground that farmers west of the
Missouri river had tried the fast
time during the war and were dis
satisfied. He doesn't blame Man
dan, Dickinson and other cities for
wanting the change, he said, but
averred that it doesn't help the
farmer.
J. H. McCay, Sioux county, said
small children would have to start
for school before sunrise in the
winter time if the change is made
and alleged that the railroads
would not change their time to
conform to that which would be
established by the bill.
c. N. Lee, Dunn county, said the
railroads had promised to- change
their schedules to conform to the
proposed change and declared that
alleged objection to the bill by
farmers was Over-estimated. He
sid only few farmers arc OPP
posed to the change.
Peter Boeckel, Mercer county,
said 4 change in the time would
make it difficult for farmers in
handling threshing crews and en-
ploying men, while A. o. Brown.
Adams county, read from his home
town newspaper an editorial sup
porting the time change. Argu-
ments that it would work a hard
ship on school children are without
point, he said, and pointed to the
fact that Bismarck children have
no difficulty and that the sun
time change between Bismarck
and points west of the river is very
small.
Twicheli FavOrs Bill
l.. L. Twichell, majority floor
leader, was the only legislator
from east of the Missouri river
who entered the controversy. He
said his committee had been told
by Judge H. l.. Berry, Mandan.
that the railroads would willingly
change their time to conform to
any changes made by the legisla-
ture. At present, he said, Mandan
is AZ minutes behind sun-time and
the western edge of the state is
35 minutes behind. If the change
were made, he said, Mandan time
would be II minutes ahead of the
sun and the western edge of the
state would be 25 minutes ahead.
The bill was killed by So to as
vote in the committee of the whole
and was further buried when the
committee report was read to the
house.
Brown sought to reject the COM
mittee report, contending that only
a few persons living west Of the
river are against the tilAe change
and that opponents of the bill were
not truly representing the attitude
of their constituents. A roll call
buried the bill, 81 to 80.
