TOTALS NEARLY EIGHTJINDRED Number of Bills Introduced in Legislature. PROBING BOARD OF CONTROL Joint Committee Still Looking Into Charges Preferred by Several Citizens of Jamestown. Bismarck—(Special)—The final day for the introduction of bills saw an avalanche of measures that practical ly took the place of all other business for the day in both houses. In the house 112 bills were introduced and referred to committee. The senate, being more dignified and less precipi tate in its actions, restrained itself and was content with introducing eighty-five measures and referring them. This practically ends the in- troduction of bills of a general nature.^ ,, There will naturally be some com- mittee bills and the budget bills will have to come from the appropriations 1 committees, but the number cannot be sreat. So far we have had 313 Investigating Yet—The opening ses- sion of the joint committee appointed 1 to investigate the charges against the in a manner other than that provided b? the law making the appropriation. For that reason tl* emergency board has b,J,'n 1,rawn 111,0 "le extent that the question has one. as it now is.'but would raised as lo whether there was, unoer the law ns it stands. an emergen.-y such as the law contemplates belore ,, .. use 110 investigated, and a report made as to their work, before any legislation looking to the abolition of the commis sion is introduced or considered seri ously. Senator Heckle's bill is in line with the veto message of the govern or, made in 1913, when he attempted to wipe out the appropriation made for tlie tax commission. This was afterwards overthrown by a decision in the supreme court. .j. .j. 4. Suggestions—While on the subject «f reducing the expense of govern ment by cutting down the number of salaried officers and offices it is plain to be seen that Hie legislative mind is working toward that end. We have measures which propose the creation of one man to handle the board of control work, at a salary to abolish the position of secretary to the board of railroad commissioners and requiring one of the members to act as secretary to do away with the state fire marshal to wipe out the game wardens and let the sheriffs and deputies do the work. Such a trimming up of the plum trees may make it look neater, bat many stand aghast at the short crop that would result. 4- Official Pig Catcher—House bill 71, by C. W. Moses of Pembina county, has furnished about as much fire works as any single bit of proposed legislation. That is a measure to pro- v,de for,the slate ?1,- r\r*or»H nf mnfrnl nac haan wnll rf rtno board of control has been well, done that Dr. Hotehkiss,, the), present su perintendent of the asylum, is elti-1 cient, honest and painstaking, and, that the charges are not grounded in I sincerity of purpose. Of the whole1j number seventy-eight sign approving, tition with reference to Dr. Hotch- kiss. Evidently there is a division of opinion in Jamestown. City for It—Immediately after the committee on the board of control stepped out of the spotlight the tax commission stepped in. In the last! house waiting for passage, grand rush of introducing bills Sena tor Heckle, who is chairman of the committee to invest!gats the tax com mission, dropped in senate bill No. 261, providing for the abolition of the present commission aHd providing (or one commissioner, a deputy and clerks, and appropriating 525,000 or so for salaries and expenses. Inas much as the in-v«stigaWng committee had done little or no investigating the intro'duction of this bill by the chair m£n of the committee at this gme was deemed to be a snap judgment, and the tax eonmission came out with an affidavit in which the commissioners affirm ,.-that they have never been in vestigated, that they have prepared their books and held them in readi ness for examination by the commit tee, and have beeri lor seme time past keen ready to make the showing as to the amount of money saved the state im uncovering untaxed property and placing it on tbe rolls.
