Meanwhile It was revealed that the
Investigation" Of hangers convic-
ton in federal court will take the
form Of an attempt to expose Demo-
cratic practices in collecting cam
paign money. He Is said to have OBJ
tanned . number Of affidavits on this
point and viii offer them to the
house or see that they are presented
to It. Another angle may be an At
tack on the system Of selecting names
Of men to be placed in the box from
which federal jurors are drawn.
The arguments which have been
advanced to Olson as reasons for
calling q special session have little
or nothing to do with those given by
LANCER Is his reason for calling
special session In . proclamation is
sued five days before he was ousted
by the supreme court.
Arguments for Session
They are that certain acts Of the
Bank Of North Dakota, which have
been going forward for the last year
with regard to the refinancipg Of
farm loans, should be validated.
That the state must buy certain
land to b added to the state park
system In order that more Geo units
may be employed In the state.
That the legislature should re-
enact the 12-per-cent utilities tax.
passed during the "long day" 1t the
1883 session and attacked In the
courts on that and other grounds
That the state should appropriate
money for the relief Of the needy.
Olson had one general answer for
al Of these contentious. It was that
. two-thirdy majority Is needed in
each house to make any legislation
effective before next July I. Most Of
the LANCER committee which inter-
viewed him admitted that the posi-
bility Of getting such . majority on
anything was practically non-existent.
Specific answers were given most
Of tho separate contentious. For ex-
ample. the state land department has
whatever authority Is needed to buy
land for the state park system: no
one has challenged the validity Of the
acts Of the Bank Of North Dakota and
It. refinAncing operations are going
forward unhampered. Re-enactment
Of the utility tax would not keep the
matter out Of the courts and might
only further delay . determination Of
the legality OF the act.
