Must Cut Appropriations
In a formal message last week the
Governor called attention to the fact
that the sum of the appropriation
measures came to a little over $6,000,-
000. This the Governor considered too
high and he admonished the legisla-
ture to do the cutting or he would.
He felt that a figure around $5,000,000
was desirable.
Governor Welford said that he re-
alized that such small appropriations
as were permitted two years ago were
hardly enough to run the various re-
stitutions and departments, but that
the 1933 figure had" been left at about
$4,OOO,OOO.
The governor said that schools and
necessary functions of the government
should receive consideration over the
other services and departments in the
paring process.
Advocates Sales Tax
Weiford's message also contained
other admonitions for the assembly.
In brief, he urged the appropriation
cuts to the figure mentioned above;
that some form of sales tax be adopted
to provide the necessary revenue for
necessary operations; that the bond
stabilization program be maintained
without Change.
He also asked that $400.000 be di-
verted from the beer tax to the bond
interest fund and that the motor vehi-
cle fund again be permitted to go to
the same purpose. He opposed any in-
crease in the gas tax. The Governor
advocated authorization of sale of gen-
eral obligation bonds in case of an
emergency. He left the legislature to
"follow its own judgment" in the mat-
ter of a liquor revenue law.
Mun~lp~! Liquor Law
The municipal liquor law which was
approved by the house committee
and in general orders, late Tuesday,
March 5, passed the house by a 58. to
52 vote.
The house was in favor of the law
because of the needed revenue. It is
also indicated that many of the favor-
able votes are to be given because it
is expected that the law will be
branded unconstitutional by the su-
preme court anyway.
Talk of a special session, prevalent
about the capitol corridors, was killed
by Governor Wellord Monday in a fiat
statement that no such session would
be called, nor was even contemplated.
To Probe FERA
After considerable discussion the
House March 1 passed the resolution
asking for an investigation of the FE-
RA administration in North Dakota.
The appropriation measure for the
construction of a $200,000 state hospital
at Jamestown passed the house.
In the senate final approval was giv-
en to the "butter on popcorn" bill.
One House Legishtt~re Killed
In the House, Senator Bonzer's bill
to create a one house legislature, was
indefinitely postponed by the house.
A $20,000 appropriation for the game
and fish department for the construc-
tion of dams was appr0v~l by the Sen-
ate.
The firelock weighing and grading
bill, paued after a heated ~ in
the house, was debated in the inmate,
S. D. LIQUOR LAW
AWAITS BERRY SIGNATURE
Pierre, S. D., March 14.~A
liquor system providing for private
licensing under state authority for
both on and off sale was set up in a
legislative bill awaiting the signa-
ture of Gov. Tom Berry today.
License fees will range from $200
to $6,000, with the money going to
the new state department of justice.
Taxes of from 10 to 50 cents per
gallon for liquor, estimated to yield
$400,000, will go to relief. Local
option will prevail and cities may
operate own saloons to pay off in-
debtedness.
killed and then reconsidered and sent
to the appropriations committee for re-
consideration. An appropriation of
$6000 on the bill brings it under the
appropriations comrnRtee jurisdiction.
Limit Game Bag
A house measure limiting game bags
to five birds, no matter what kind oz
what season, was approved by the sen-
ate and sent "to the governor for his
signature.
The house aftcr two unsuccessful at-
tempts, passed the resolution asking for
an investigation of the Fargo strike.
The final ten days of legislative ac-
tivity began last Friday at the end of
the fiftieth day. Of the 694 bills in-
troduced into the two houses, 332 were
killed or withdrawn, leaving 297 meas-
ures to be dealt with by the legislature
in its final ten days.
Over the weekend both houses
speeded up work to as great a degree
as possible in order to fall under the
Friday deadline. Few recesses were
held except when a rest was needed
or some special committee work had
to be done. The senate took a brief
recess Saturday to receive Brigadier
General D. S. Ritchie, Valley City, and
other officers of the National Guard,
who were paying a formal call on the
legislature.
In the senate the bill creating a half
mill levy for payment of interest on
state real estate bonds was passed.
Other bills passed by the senate in-
cluded house bills appropriating
funds for the various state institu-
tions. No mention of closing some of
the schools was made. A bill author-
izing regional fire schools was ap-
proved.
The liquor bill, providing for muni-
cipal stores in all cities and village6
of over 200 population when approved
by a majority of the voters, passed the
house with one vote to spare in the
early morning hours March 16, after
it had been hauled in and out of gen-
eral orders for amendments. The lone
amendment of any importance was the
one which included villages as well as
incorporated cities, it being pointed
out that many villages of 800 popula-
tion still clung to their original form
of government.
The house killed the bill that would
double the beer revenue tax and t~
measure providing for tax on electric
power.
