INDEPENDENTS
WOULD REPEAL
PRIMARY. LAW
Voters Would Not Be Re-
quired to Register Party
Affiliations If Bill Passes

Independents in the North Dakota
legislature yesterday took the first
step in move to abolish party re-
strictions in state primary elections.
The initial gun fired in what is ex-
pectcd to be one of the most bitter
fights of the present assembly came
with the introduction Of bill by
Senator C. W. Carey, independently },
Richland county. that would repeal
the law requiring voters to register
their party affiliations at the prima-
ries.
II passed, the repeal would allow
Democrats /. to vote at Republican
primaries As the Democratic party
polls q negligible number of votes in
North Dakota. Independent leaders
feel that the repeal would aid them
to poll many Dem0c cratic votes in the
primaries. Ls.ss

FEED And SEED
BILL PASSES
STATE SENATE
Would Authorize Counties to
Issue Bonds to Provide
For Needy Farmers

The much disguised feed and seed
bill, providing for county and state
aid for farmers whose crops are hit
by drouth, passed the senate yester-
day with but two dissenting votes
after number of amendments had
been made on the floor.
The measure, introduced by Sena-
tors Peter McLachlin, Cass county,
and A. A. Peck, Mclean county, au-
thorizes county mmissiOners to is
sue bonds to provide needy farmers
with feed and seed. An amendment
prohibiting counties with unusually
heavy bonded indebtedness from
further increasing their debts for
farm relief was made on the floor
together with several other amend.
ments making the proceedings more
definite. The measure was also
changed to advance the date of issu-
ance at the suggestion of Senator Ole
Ettestad, McHenry county, who had
objected that by the time the county
was ready to issue the seeds, the rest
Of the grain would be up.
Ettcstad and Alfred Steele, Stuts-
man county, voted against the bill.
The bill had been in the state af-
fairs committee for some time, and
had been the object of snecial con
sideration by sub committee.
Wolf ROuntics Reduced
The bill slashing wolf bounties also
passed after an amendment had been
made to make the cut less drastic.
The original bill decreased the boun-
ties from S. for mature animals to
$3.50, and from So for pups to 81.
As amended. the bountics are $3 and
$50. The bill was opposed by Sen
ator John Benson, Rolctte county,
who asserted that it was a backward
step in eradicating wolves and coy
otes. The cut was made largely
because of the increasing deficit in
the wolf bounty fund each year.
Another bill, providing that life
insurance policies shall be incontest.
able after two years except for viola
tions of provisions Of the policy in
regard to military service and TO,
failure to pay premium was passed
without debate.
The senate interrupted its session
to hear the house argue over the
prohibition question.
In order that the emergency appro-
priation for the widow of the late
Representative j. W. O'Neill, Renville
county. might be passed today, the
senate recessed until LAS p. M. to-
day. At that time the bill, which
passed tho house yesterday is sched-
uled to be received, and will be pass
cd later in the afternoon.
