Railroads Given Time
To Publish New Rates

Acting on the request of the rSil-
roads, the Interstate Commerce COM
mission has further extended the ef-
fective date Of the new class freight
rates to June Is, 1881.
The new rates will effect q saving
of approximately 100000 annually
to North Dakota shippers. according
to figures compiled by the state board
Of railroad commissioners.
The state board has vigorously pro-
tested against the action Of the fed
eral commission in granting further
time to the railroads in which to pre-
pare the new tariffs.
The railroads were given the ex-
tension because OF the mass Of data
that must be compiled before the new
rates can be published.

". FOWLER BILL
AROUSES FACTIONS
largo Senator to Lead Fight for
Bill; Senator Matthaei to
Oppose

Report of the elections committee,
recommending passage of the Fowler
election bill. was adopted by the
North Dakota senate Monday with
out debate and the measure was
on the calendar for final action
Tuesday.
A minority report, recommending
indefinite pOstponement of the pro-
posal, vas brought in. but opponents
and proponents Of the bill agreed to
allow the measure to 60 on the cal
endar and to debate its merits when
1t comes up for third reading.
Senator A. w. Fowler, Cass county.
author Of the bill, will lead the fight
In favor Of the proposal. while Sen
ator w. E. Matthaei, Wells, plans to
oppose the measure.
The elections committee attached
several amendments to the bill. In
dependents are expected to generally
support the bill, while many Nom
partisan senator's have expressed thei1
opposition to 1t.
Amendments to the measure. SEN
ate bill q. provide that the election
of precinc. committeeman be held at
the same time as the regular primary
election, on the first Wednesday in
June. The bill, as introduced, pro-
vided for moving the primary ahead
to the last Wednesday In May Of each
presidential year. but this Is changed
by the amendment.
THE bill does away with the March
presidential primary election" Sen
ator Fowler said, and saves approx
imately 100000 Of expense" The
bill provides further that the present
precinct committeeman shall hold
over until the primary election in
June, 1884, and that the present pre-
cinct committeeman shall meet at the
county seat in each county on the
last Saturday In May Of 1882 and
elect delegates to the state conven-
ton at which a national committee
man and delegates to the respective
party national conventions will be
elected and presidential electors
nominated.
The present law discriminates not
only against thu cities Of the state"
Mr.. Fowle- said, but also discrimi-
mates against the villages and all OF
the large rural precincts.
For example, there are several
rural precincts in every county in
the state which have q population Of
over 300 or $50 and there are also
rural precincts In the same counties
which have q hundred or less IN
population.
Under the present law these small
precincts have the same represents
ton as the larger precincts. namely,
one each, regardless Of population.
The bill remedies this unfair and un-
Just situation and provides for the
doctrine Of majority rule. which ap-
plies to the election Of all other
officers from constable TO president"

excused himself from the house and
turned the gaveI over to Knapp.

real Speaker two years ago, handed
down several bills for action and
then gave the reading clerk House
