Sen. A. F. Bonner, Richland coun-
ty, arose to ask Martin, isn't it true
that the governor has employed a
married woman, Mrs. Mills, and that
her husband is working in the game
and fish department."
When Martin said he did not know,

testified in the states fight against
the railroads request for increases in
commodity freight rates between
North Dakota and eastern points be-
fore examiners Of the Interstate COM
merce Commission Wednesday, the
third day Of their four-day hearing
here.
They were Neal e. williams Of the
Fargo Chamber of Commerce and T.
A. Durrant Of the Greater Grand
Forks Traffic association.
Between them they presented q
score Of exhibits, designed to show
"mreasonableness" Of the carriers
proposed scale by comparing the
spreads over the Twin Cities in rates
to North Dakota with the spreads
now prescribed by the I. G. G.
Four More Scheduled
Scheduled to follow Durrant on the
stand were Alva H. Benton Of the
state agricultural college; CT. Mar
tin and e. M. Hendricks, experts of
the state railroad commission; and
Irwin Huesby. traffic manager Of the
Northwest Lumbermen's association,
Minneapolis.
Nine men were called as witnesses
in the states fight Tuesday after
noon.
They were Charles Eastgate, Dick
inson; T. M. Condor, Valley City;
G. E. Arnold and T. j. Rowan, Man.

liams, all of Fargo.

commerce, creamery, general mer-
chandising. warehouse and transfer,
foundry and wholesale grocery bust
nesses and the state traffic associa-
ton.
Eight other North Dakota men had
been called to the stand Tuesday
forenoon in the campaign against the
carriers request.
All witnesses Tuesday testified that
North Dakota business benefited no.
ticeably when the present rate struc-
ture became effective Dec. 8, 1881,
that q boost in rates now would be
damaging, and that the proposed
raises would nourish the already
thriving automobile transportation
to the detriment Of the railroads.
All Express Sympathy
All expressed sympathy for the
railroads, declaring they are essen
tial, but decried the discrimination
which they said would result II the
railroads request were granted. Their
testimony was intended to show that
the proposed new scale would give
Twin Cities and Duluth businesses
an unfair advantage over North Da-
kota businessmen.
Bishop, traffic manager for the
Nash-Ffnch company, wholesale gro
GERS with u distributing houses In
North Dakota, seven in Minnesota
and others in South Dakota, testi-
fled his concern now uses trucks for

Ending its stormy passage through

Ending its stormy passage through
the house Of representatives late
Tuesday night, the Flanagan bill to
change the supervision Of the new
capitol from its present commission
to the board Of administration now
awaits action Of the senate.
It passed the house by q vote Of 70
to 81 while the assembly hall was
packed with visitors.
Leading the fight in his final effort
to block the measure was L. L. Twich-
ell, Cas- county, who again branded
the bill 1.-THE most unfair" piece Of leg
islation he had ever seen introduced In
the legislature.
Charging that Geo. A. Bangs and
Fred L. Conklin, the remaining mem
bers Of the capitol commission, had
used livery poor judgment" In their
capitol commission activities, the au-
thor Of the bill, w. ]. Flanagan. asked
members to change the management
of the affairs to the board Of admin
istration where it rightfully belongs"
Twichell asked members Of the
house II they thought 1t fair" to pass
the bill and thereby brand the capitol
commissioners for the rest Of their
lives when the results Of the investiga-
ton had failed to show they were in
competent.
Every fair minded man in this
house owes it to the state and these
men to vote against this BILL" said
Twichell. 1T Is based entirely on ru-
NOR. We have no report Of the find
ings Of the investigators before us up
on which to act. At least, 1t would
have been fair to have waited until
the legislative committee had pre-
sented its findings"
Tells of Testimony
Flanagan told of ties timony brought
out during the three-weeks' hearing
referring to the contract, to trips by
the commissioners, and to the iSSu-
ance of 100000 in certificates Of In
debtedneSs.
1.-THE integrity Of our state and OF the
people who are paying for this capitol
is at stake" said Flanagan "and we
should approve this BILL"
When H. T. Peterson, Mountrail
representative and member Of the
investigating committee, asked men,
bers of the house to pass the bill, he
referred to G. Angus Fraser, member
of the capitol commission, as quitting
under fire." charging he had nlisused
funds.
Twichell, without moving from his
seat. said: THAT isn't so. He didn't
take q dime from the capitol COM

him and you know It,"
