A vote to. kill the bill failed, ~.
to IS.
L. L. Tkichell, majority floor lead
err, pointed out that the Nonparti-
sans. had tried to abolish the secre-
taryship of the Industrial commits
sion on the ground that his duties do
not occupy all bf his time. BY COM
bining the two jobs, he said, the Sec
rotary Of the industrial commission
will have plenty of work to keep him
busy and the state will save about
$4,000 a year. He referred to- the
fact that the governor called atten-
tion Of the legislature in his bicn-
NAL message to the fact that the
time Of the industrial commission
secretary is not fully employed. The
securities commission secretary
doesn't have enough work to keep
him busy either, Twichcll said, and
averrcd that the two jobs would
combine nicely.
J. H. Burkhart, Ward county, de-
clarcd that it is. q political bill and
nothing else" and pointed out that
the securities commission held Al
meetings last year. The secretary OF
the securities commission, he, said
has his hands full.

Flour Label Bill Up again
The quarrel over the flour Label
bill came to life again in the house
when the state affairs committee
recommended indefinite postpone
ment of the bill as passed by the
senate. While the argument was In
full tilt, however, it was discovered
that the senate had killed the flour
label bill passed by the house and
the senate measure was sent bacl
to the state affairs committee fol
amendment.
Action was taken ut the request
of Twichcll who announced his inten
,tion Of amending the senate bill
/ to conform to that passed by thu
house.
As passed by the senate the bill
has the approval of Governor A.. &
Sorlie who asked for the Legislation
in. his message. The bill passed b!
the house was amended against thu
wishes of the executive in such ;
manner that he announced
his intention to veto it i
it is presented to him. If the house
amends the senate bill the measure
will go to 4 conference COMMITTED
of senate and house members.
The measure was presented will
majority and minority reports b!
the state affairs committee. Una
! ware of the fact that the senate hat
killed the house bill the majorit!
recommended indefinite postpone
ment.
Before action could be taken Free
Ferris, Nelson county, leader OF tn
fight for the governors measure
moved for adjournment. He OK
planned that the senate was abOu
to kill the house bill and that al

labels would then be in the discard
| An attempt by SWEET to throw tn
bill into the committee of the Who'll

ruled out of order. Speaker Carr ex
planned that it would do no good t.
argue it all over again and called tn
roll on the motion to send it bac1
to the state affairs committee. TIL
motion carried, So to ~.
| A concurrent resolution asking
congress to repeal the law relating
to the federal estate tax was defeate,
after some argument. Advocates o
the resolution contended that for tn
federal government to levy inner
itance taxes is an invasion of stat
rights. Opponents argued that re
moval of the federal tax would caus
some states to bid for wealthy me
to become residents by removing
their estate taxes. N. H. Lynch
Richland county, said most wealth
men do not amass fortunes in an
one state and the government SHOULD

which the fortune were made.
Another resolution permitting TIL
director of agriculture and labor t.
establish quarantine measures t
prevent the introduction Of the Flu

! when it met opposition. It will b.
brought up again. Lynn Sperry
Burleigh county, it's sponsor, said h

Boys and Girls Clubs Discussed
The longest argument Of the da!

to be administered by the secretar.

winners at state fairs.
Nonpartisans said they favored tn
club work but objected to the man
