JAM LOOMING
Houses Deferring Action
on Re-referring Bills
to Committees
BY HENRY LESESNE
Tho TimCS-NewS Rureuu
Sir Walter Iiutcl

RALEIGH. Feb. 17.-Although
the calendars Of both houses Of
the general assembly were almost
clear a few days ago, they are
more congested now than at any
time during the present session
and not a few members, eager to
see the Legislature finish its job
within SO or 70 days, are plainly
disturbed by the assembly's APP
parently growing tendency to
get nowhere.
Heretofore, the blame has been
directed principally at the COM
mittees. which have yet to de-
eide on many controversial items
which have been reposing in their
rooms in some instances fOT
many days. However, for some
time now both houses have got
into the habit of deferring &C
ton on many important bills OF
, else re-refelring them back ia
committee to be Strengthened
out.
Another habit which the solons
have got into recently is that OF
attempting to get unfavorably
ireported bills put on the favor
able calendar, and in many in.
stances they are successful, thus
bringing the controversy to the
floor of the house. Such moves
however have met with strong
opposition from some quarters
and the 6O-day die-hards have
never overlooked an opportunity
to warn their colleagues that
eve are getting nowhere fast"
When the senate met Wednes'
day there were % statewide
bills on the calendar. When il
adjourned three hours later there
were still % on the calendar
Although several routine loca
! bills were passed, the public cal,
cndar was not touched, except
that action on one bill was de,
! ferred, which did no, help to re-
lievc the congestion.
However. during its three-houl
session the upper house, in add
ton to spending 80 minutes tt
hear Lawrence Tibbett make ;
two-minute speech, put some
more work on its shoulders for ;
future date by moving to recon
slider its vote on the much-jug
| gled marriage license bill, whicl
has been set for a special orde
next Tuesday, and by takinj
from the unfavorable calenda
two bills which had already bee
| thrashed out an dreportcd un

mittee.
One Of these bills would re-
duce the cost of automobile IL
censes from So cents hundred
pounds to 40 cents, while the
other would provide for the pay
ment for license plates in two
semi-annual inStallments. In the
house, however, attempts to re-
move bills from the unfavorablc
calendar have thus far been TN
successful, although some time
has been wasted in the effort. In
the lower house a two-thirds ma
jority is required to do this.
in the senate, there will be 4
chance to catch up while the
house is considering the appro-
priationa and revenue bills, which
must be introduced first in the
lower branch. However, many
believe that there still will not
be time to clear the calendars
for the revenue and appropria-
tiOns bill if the senate continues
its present pace, unless it reports
early to night sessions, which
several members have already
proposed.
Two bills-thc marriage license
bill and the reorganization COM
mittee's bill abolishing the cor
poratiOn commission-have been
before the upper house for sew
eral weeks, have been voted on
number of times, but are still
on the calendar. The latter bill
has been referred back to COM
mittec for a third time, with in
dications that it will precipitate
anoher long fight when it reach
es the floor again. A dozen other
measures which promise floor
fights. are now in the hands of
various committees.
These bills which are causing
the senate so much trouble are
yet to be considered by the
house, whose calendar is also be-
ginning to get congested. 1t is
generally believed that these bills
will have to be disposed Of be-
fore the assembly gets down to
the job of tackling the revenue
and appropriation measures if it
i sto adjourn within the next
four weeks.

That's why we age them in our ware

The Bismarck tribune., 1933-12-27

10 peculiar and ironic timeliness, that
makes 1t stand as an illustration Of
the perplexities OF our times in all
walks Of life.
Ever since the stock market crash
Of 1929 va have been discovering
that most Of the old rules and stand
ards by which We made our society
work are not functioning any more.
The framework Of modern society has
become enormously complex and in
volved; and most Of our troubles arise
from the fact that we have no blue
prints showing US how the thing can
be fitted together and made to work
smoothly. 49,.
Russia is trying one stunt, Ger
many another, England another. and
America stu another. All Of us are
experimenting, and we are doing so
because we have discovered suddenly
that there are no hard and fast rules
about 1t. There are no certainties In
this modern world-or, If there are,
we haven't found them.
Now comes this upsetting Of the
last scientific constant, to complete
the story. It Is a fitting symbol of
an era that has to figure everything
out anew.

Keen OFF the Grass

An indignant subscriber to The
Tribune rises up to protest vigorously
against the current practice Of per-
sons distributing handbills and "dod-
gers" Of walking on their lawns, now
covered with snow. He suggests that
these individuals be warned, prefer
ably by the police, to keep off the
grass and use the sidewalks. this de-
spite the fact that 1t = winter.
II the comment seems little far
fetched and "persnickety" careful
examination win demonstrate that 1t
Is not. Paths worn through the snow
leave their marks when spring comes
and the grass starts to grow again.
Many a householder who did not
know that winter paths logically be-
come summer paths has found this
out to his sorrow.
Under such circumstances, the
ground becomes inpacted, the grass
Is worn away to the roots and. when
the growing season begins, bare earth
takes the place OF a lawn which may
have cost much time and money.
City authorities would do well to
instruct persons who have been vio-
lating the canons Of good citizenship
ana common courtesy to discontinue
the practice.
