Opposition to the proposal Of Gov

management Of the state mill and
elevator over to Q commission may
crystallize around bill which SEN
ator D. H. Hamilton Of McHenry
county Is preparing for introduction
this week.
Although Hamilton would not dis
cuss the details Of his bill or even
disclose what its major principles
would be, he made it plain that 1t
will not provide for the mill manage
ment commission suggested by the
governor.
Hamilton served on the fact finding
committee appointed by the senate
two years ago to investigate the mills
operations. He said he will incorpor-
ate In his bill the ideas of manage
ment which he acquired during that
period.
The fact that Hamilton plans q
counter proposal to that of the gov
ernor may have the effect Of
strengthening the opposition to the
administration plan. Hamilton Is
one Of the leaders Of the Nonpartisan
senate wing on almost any subject
with . factional political angle. Be-
cause Of his experience in investiga-
ting the mill his colleagues generally
are inclined to regard him as an au-
thority on that subject.

Until the details Of Hamilton's pro-
posal are made public, however, the
situation regarding the management
OF the mill and elevator will continue
to be obscure.

STATE LEGISLATORS
DEPICTED TALK AS
POTENTIAL L|NCOLNS
Judge McKenna Speaks to Leg.
islature Today; House
convenes Separately

Observing Lincoln's birthday at q
joint session Of the house and senate
today, North Dakota legislators heard
q Lincoln't anniversary address by
Judge George NJ. McKenna Of Ma
poleon.
The houses convened separately and
held short sessions ct which bills were
introduced, before meeting in joint
session.
Commenting on the lessons which
present-day America can draw from
the life OF the great emancipator,
McKenna said that Lincoln towers
through the lanes Of history as the
best evidence which America offers
to prove that 1t Is the land Of oppor-
tunity.
Should BE Inspiration
His career should be an inspiration
to every member of the legislature,
he said, since Lincoln's first public
office was that Of q member of the
Illinois assembly. It should be an in
spiration to every child born in this
country, since Lincoln, without friends
or influence and with no power other
than that which resulted from the
spirit within him, rose to q place
among the truly great OF all history.
The mother Of every baby born in
America, McKenna said, has as much
right to hope that her son will one
day take his place among the great
as did Lincolns mother 120 years ago,
as she Rugged to her breast the help
less infant who was one day to lead
q great nation out OF the valley Of
hate and discord to the heights Of
permanent peace.
Started In Backwoods
Recounting Lincoln's career from
the backwoods to the presidency, and
thence to martyrs grave, McKenna
said his whole career marks him as
an elemental creation Of destiny,
binding together with the force Of
truth, the majesty Of answering
faith and the Visible depth Of q great
and simple honesty. the spirits Of dis
cord who could agree on but two
fundamentals, the non-existence Of
slavery, and the preservation Of the
union.
Hated. misunderstood, illuminated
on every side, rtdiculed and laughed
at, Lincoln was patient, gentle and
withour rancor through 1t all, seeking
only to bind up the wounds OF the
nation and restore 1t to peace and
unity. That he succeeded marks him
as more than q genius. It marks him
as q man Of destiny whose keen mind
and great heart understood and SYM
pathized with the troubles Of human
ity and whose broad shoulders were
strong enough to bear to . successful
conclusion the burdens which fate
thrust upon HIM"

TWO Bills OFFERED
House AND SENATE;
FAVORED BY SHAFER
sss~s
Two Acts Aim to Increase State
Road Revenue; Others Aid
County Highways
COMPROMISE IS EXPECTED
Two Thirds Majority Needed q
Effect Legislation and No i
Increase Is Seen

Introduction Of four different bills.
all seeking to increase the state gaso>
line tax, has set the stage for a. in-
teresting legislative battle as Is ex-
pected to develop at this session.
Two Of the bills have been intro.
duced In the house and two In the
senate. One house bill provides .
one-cent increase. the money to "a
to the state highway department.
The other provides for one-cent In
crease. the money to be apportioned
to the counties. The same situation
prevails In the upper branch and the
issue is clearly joined.
In the middle Of the contest sitS
Governor George F. Shafer, who II
deeply interested. He favors both
proposals and would not be surpriscd
to see the matter compromised be-
fore the contest ends.
Details Not Same
Although two. bills aim at increas.
ing the revenue OF the state highway
department and two are intended 70
send gasoline tax money back. to the
counties for use on county highways.
the details OF the various measures
are not the same.
The first bill introduced, that b.
William Watt Of Cass county. would
require the licensing Of gasoline dis
tributors and would provide no r.
fund on the additional tax Of one cent.
proceeds Of which would 70 to the
counties. The bill offered in the
house by H. F. Horner, Of Cass coun-
ty. carries the same provisions but
Is wprded differently. Watts bill
provides for q license tax Of three
cents q gallon and Horner's provides
Tor . license tax Of one cent q gallon
which would be IN addition to thu
present two-cent sales tax.
First among the bills to increase
the state highway department rev.
enue was that offered in the house
BY J. A. Jardine. also Of Cass county.
It also provides for q three-cent Raso-
line license tax but does not eliminate
refunds to persons using gasoline In
other than motor vehicles. Neither
does 1t require dealers to obtain q L.
cenSe.
Changes Administration
: The second bill intended to benefit
the highway department was offered
by Senator A. F. Bonner, jr., Of Rich-
land county. It provides for the re9.
istration and licensing OF dealers.
places administration Of the law ia
the state treasurers office instead of
the state auditors office as at pres-
ent and makes gasoline dealers agents
OF the state in collecting the tax.
Distributors are allowed three per
cent OF the amount Of tax collected
Tor their services in making collec-
tion. The refund feature OF the
law would be retained.
The general opinion here Is that
the matter will be compromised or
there will be no increase In gasoline
taxes at this session. Since anv
change would be an amendment to
an initiated law. q two-thirds major-
lty OF each house Is necessary to MAKE
effective any new legislation on this
subject. The present two cent tax
was voted by the people In 1926 ana
cannot be changed except upon two
thirds vote Of each house. ~
