SATURDAY. MARCH 9.1929 GAS COMPANY SEEKS STARK COUNTY UNES Montana-Dakota Power Com pany May Lay Mains to Bismarck This Summer Dickinson. N. D.. Mar. 9.—Right of way for the proposed trans-state natural gas line project contemplated by the Montana-Dakota Power com pany of Glendive, Mont., is now being secured in Stark county. W. w. Pal mer, Miles City engineer in charge of the work, arrived in Dickinson with his crew to make headquarters here while negotiations are being carried cm with property owners. Between four and five weeks will be required to complete the work in the county, due to the bad roads and difficulties encountered in getting In touch with the farmers along the route, Mr. Palmer said. Ordinarily the county could be covered in two weeks. Practically all necessary right of way has been secured by the company through Fallon, Dawson and Wibaux counties in Montana and Golden Val ley and Billing 3 counties in North Dakota, Mr. Palmer said. If the right of way can be se cured and all cities and towns along the proposed route grant franchises, the company plans to lay mains as far east as Bismarck during the com ing season. Construction work will start as soon as the frost is out of the ground. Gas Tax Bill Stirs Fighting Blood of Bonzer, Twichel (Continued from page one) house and the necessary two-thirds vote to take it from the table was obtained. Cain Offers Amendments J. P. Cain. Stark county, offered an amendment to strike out two sec tions relating to the costs of construc tion of flood prevention projects and tax levies for sinking deficits. Bond protested that the amend ment would make the bill ineffective to accomplish what its sponsors had hoped. It already had been amend ed to meet the objections of small property owners in the flood district who would have to pay the bill, be said. J. B. Fleckten, Ward county, said he felt the bill was fair to everyone interested. Cain said a permanent flood con' trol structure would cost from $1,000,- 000 to $5,000,000 and that it might cause tax levy totalling eight mills in addition to the special assessments. He said “if there is any bill offered at this session which would have the effect of confiscating property this is it.” He demanded that flood control tax levies be restricted to three mills now; that further study could be giv en the problem and perhaps perman ent relief measures Inaugurated at the next session. Fowler Opposes Cain A- W. Fowler, Cass county, said the effect of the Cain amendments would be to prevent any permanent flood control work as the result of the bill and would prevent any such plan from being submitted to the people. Cain’s motion carried by a big ma jority without a roll call and Fowler moved to delete other sections from the bill which had been rendered use less by the Cain amendment. The emergency clause, making the bill ef fective as soon as it is signed by the governor, was retained. In its final form the bill retained the provision for petition by flood sufferers to the country board; public hearing by the board; the outlining of a conservancy district by the board; submission to the people of the ques tion of whether they should proceed under the bill; an election to name five directors of the flood control board and a tax levy of three mills for flood control purposes with an additional levy of one mill per year thereafter for maintenance of flood control structures. It also provides that the conservancy district directors can issue certificates of indebtedness in anticipation of collection of the three mill levy, to provide money with which to meet emergencies. One Adverse Vote Fowler’s amendments carried with out opposition and only one senator opposed the bill on final roll call. The bridge battle which raged early in the session when $260,000 in the bridge fund was to be appropriated, had its final fling Friday. An attempt to provide funds for soundings in the Missouri river at Stanton failed Thursday night but Paul Kretschmar, Logan county, of fered a resolution directing the high way department to make soundings of the river bottom and prepare data on the roads which would have to be built in the event that a bridge was constructed at either Elbowoods. Gar rison, Stanton or Washburn. The resolution was adopted, 23 to 18. Two bills which had been regarded as important died in the closing hours of the session when the house and senate failed to agree. One would have amended the state hail insurance law. It fell when the senate refused to accept a house amendment to eliminate the compul sory listing of land for the state in surance. The other would have pro vided a new method for assessing taxes upon certain public utility prop erty in accordance with a recent con stitutional amendment. Killing l Follows Tin Vala Two Nonpartisans left the ranks of that faction in the fight on the hail insurance bill but one Independent senator was absent and the result of all votes was a tie. Lieutenant Gov ernor John W. Carr brake most of these by voting with the Independents but the bill died when it failed to ob tain a constitutional majority. It needed only one more vote to carry. The vote on the taxation bill showed one tie but P. O. Battue, Steele county, one of' the bolting Nonpartisans, returned to his own ranks, explaining he did so to pre vent another deadlock. The ‘first battle of a hectic night session developed cn a bill to change the rate for the storage of grain in elevators. Hie conference committee failed to agree and a motion was made in the senate to reject the re port of a second. It was an argu ment which had been heard before but was threshed out all over again. The senate finally adopted the com mittee's report and thr bill passed. It provides 20 days free storage of grain knd a rate of mvvrnrtieth of a cent per bushel »'“• »•- On the b‘«» lo an*—-i the state hail Insurance law, a cyuierencecommlt- “MOM’N POP’S" CAT NEEDS A NAME! Artist Wood Cowan and the "Mom’n Fop" family Imagine it! A cat with nine lives and not even one name! That’s the kind of cat that Artist Wood Cowan has drawn in his de lightful comic strip, “Mom’n Pop.” which appears daily in The Tribune. In fact, when he sent this remarkable black feline scampering into the lives of “Mom’n Pop.” Artist Cowan hadn't even thought that some day this cat, like all self-respecting cats, would have to have a name. Now he’s in a terrible predicament. So—a prize of $25 is offered to the follower of “Mpm'n Pop” who can think of the best monniker for the brunette kitty whose happy antics and angular tail have been tickling the funnybones of The Tribune readers and millions of others throughout the country. In his many years* experience as a comic strip artist, when his crafts manship and unfailing humor have placed him among the very top-notchers of his profession, Wood Cowan admits he's never been in a fix like this. He’s asking your help. Turn to “Mom’n Pop" on page 10 today. Then remember, if a black cat’s name crosses your mind's path, it's GOOD luck—and tend your sug gestion to “MOM’N FOP," CARE OF THE TRIBUNE tee recommended a compromise but O. H. Olson, one of the authors of the bill, said it had been amended until 'inrecognirable and moved to kill it. Two Desert League The question was whether the law should be amended to eliminate com pulsory listing of land for hail in surance in counties where 85 per cent of the land had been withdrawn from its protection for three consecu tive years. Olson’s motion lost when Sathre and William Martin. Morton county, deserted the Nonpartisans and the vote resulted in a tie. Lieu tenant Governor Carr voted against the motion to kill. A call of the senate was had on the vote to pass the measure but it also was a tie and the bill failed tor lack of a constitutional majority. The bill on the method of taxing public utility properties followed the same course. The conference report was adopted but E. H. Brant, Em mons, moved to kill the bill and the motion carried 25 to 23. Two conference committees had failed to agree on the gasoline tax bill and ps a third one went to work the senate killed time by listening to speeches. Oil Battle Wages The less weary went to the corner of the senate chamber where the third conference committee was put ting on its fight. The oil business was turned inside out as the com mittee argued whether oil dealers should get one per cent for collecting the tax or three per cent. A com promise at one and one-half per cent finally was reached but the battle had only started. W. E. Matthaet moved to kill the bill and the hardest fight of the ses sion was in progress. 8. J. Atkins, Towner county; Cain of Stark: Lynch of La Moure and Frank Hyland, Ramsey county, supported the com promise and Matthaei, D. H. Ham ilton. McHenry county, and Del Pat terson, Renville county, opposed it. Its advocates agreed that the com mission to oil dealers was too low but that the bill is one which the people apparently want very much and a compromise was the best it was possible to obtain. Stressing the idea that it was a measure which the people want they warned the oppo sition to think carefully before op posing it. Arguments of the opponents were that the oil dealer gives credit to the farmers and guarantees payment of the tax. If he doesn’t receive fair compensation for collecting the tax. they contended, credit to the farmer would be curtailed and the farmer would have to borrow money to pay cash for gasoline. Calls Twichell Dictator Matthaei charged that the difficul ty was due to the dictatorial attitude of one man. referring by inference to L. L. Twichell. Independent house leader. "Just because he bullies the house is no reason why we should per mit him to dictate to us.” Matthel said. Hyland defended Twichell. saying he had the Interest of the state treas ury at heart and that Increasing the percentage would mean an additional payment of $50,000 to the oil dealers. Bonser hopped into the fray with an explanation of the oil man’s posi tion and by indirection, paid his re spects to Twichell, who stood at the rear of the senate chamber. Bonser is an oil dealer. Atkins commented that “If the bill meant dollars and cents to me I wouldn’t be up here talking for it.” Matih set’s Motion Loses Matthaei’s motion to kill the bill lost but the final roll call showed 32 ayes and 16 nos. It had failed by one vote to obtain the necessary two thirds of the members elect. After a recess, A. 8. Marshall. Dickey county, moved ,to reconsider the bill and it was brought back and amended to provide a two per cent collection fee. This catried and the bill sent to the house which returned it without even appointing another conference committee. When it came back to the senate it finally was passed with the fee recommended by tho third conference committee. The hottest fight of the 60-day sessior had occurred in its closing hours. Government Plans to Clean Vera Cruz, Then Sweep North (Continued from page me) can officers occupied officers quar ters. Nogales. Ariz.. March 9—(AP)— A threatened aerial bombardment of Nogales. Sonora, the revolutionary stronghold of northern Mexico, by loyal federals under General Abe lardo RAdriguez, was looked upon to day as an indication that the inter national border may witness another battle. Rodriguez, who has been concen trating fighting Planes and loyal sol diers at Mexicali, border town and capital of Baja California, wae re ported to have prepared a landing field for 15 «r 20 planes at San Luis, on the Sonora-Baja California border. Bulletins were said to have been posted by federal leaders of fering jobs to American aviators at $250 a day. The federals were said to have 10 planes at Mexicali, but two of these were destroyed by a fire at the mu nicipal airport there late last night. The blaze spread to a box of bombs in a hangar and they ex ploded, causing great excitement and giving rise to a report that revolu tionists had attacked the town. Mrs. R. Fuentes, wife of a mechanic, was injured. The loss was placed at $12,- 000. Fire No Hindrance The fire was not expected to greatly imnede the plans of the fea erals, as Rodriguez has announced that more planes would arrive short ly. Rodriguez began his activities yesterday when he sent a plane to drop thousands of handbills on No gales. The federal plane caused great excitement, the rebels believing they were being attacked. Revolutionary soldiers ran to cover and did not fire on the plane. The handbills, appealing to the revolutionaries to return to the fed eral side, said: “Your army officers have led you into rebellion by spreading false hoods among you. They are merely using you as the tools for the per sonal aggrandizement of selfish and merciless politicians. Turn again to the path of duty. Be patriotic and do not bequeath to your sons a lega cy of shame and treason.” To Drop Bombs, Not Circulars General Rodriguez said he expect ed nine bombing planes to be deliv ered to him next week and that the next time he sent aviators to No gales they would carry “something more deadly than circulars.” He det dared he had six hundred federals at San Luis. Meanwhile, a battle appeared im minent at Mazatlan, Sinaloa, where General Carrillo has fortified him self with 2,600 federals against an advancing army of revolutionaries. General Ramon F. Iturbe, leading/ the main body of rebel troops, was reported late last night to be at Quila, but a few hours march from Mazatlan. The insurrectionists had occupied Culiacan, Sinaloa, without opposition. The rebel forces in this sector were placed at 8,000.
