FOR STATE HOUSE EYES.

A usury bill will no doubt pass the legisla-
ture this winter. Every indication points to
lower rate of interest. 1t seems to be q
general request from all parts Of the state

This state should by all means be redIs-
tricted in order that all parts Of it may have
an equitable representation in the legisla-
turc. Will that body find time to do it? We
hope so.-Wadena Pioneer.
A bill introduced into the state legislature
to compel insurance companies to pay the
full amount of policy in case of loss is in the
right direction, and ought to be passed with
out hesitation jackson Republic.
There are good many who believe that
election, with its incidents and investiga-
tons, has already accomplished good deal
toward shaping the coffin of the Republican
party of this state.-Herman Enterprise.
A bill has been introduced asking for the
appointment of state veterinary. Dakota
has one and the Office has been big OK
pense. without being of any benefit, ard the
present legislature is making an effort to
abolish the office.-Fergus Falls journal.
The present legislature, as far as intoxica-
ton or drinking is concerned, is q. model
one. Red eyes and bloated faces are not to
be seen, neither in the senate nor in the
house. The members of both houses are
above the average in education and intelli-
gence.-Princeton Union.
Representative Eastman has introduced
bill III the Legislature providing for free text
books III the public schools We are not IA
mliar with the full text Of the bill, but the
idea is good one and in line with the prin-
c1ple OF free education. 1t will probably
meet with no serious notwithstanding
Star-News.
But what terror is there in a sentence Of
thirty Gays in jail to the average prize
fighter? If the senator will make the pen
atty more severe, and attach clause whereby
the city dailies for advertising and publish
ing reports of a prize fight shall be subject to
the same penalty. he will have bill of a
good deal more merit.-Oimsted Democrat.
Senator Bo~en's bill, aimed to prevent the
employment OF Pinkerton or other armed
employees of private detective agencies to do
police duty in case of strikes or other out
breaks, is good one. The county and state
authorities ought to he able to preserve order
under all circumstances without calling
upon private agencies for heip-Minneapolis
Star.
The members of the legislature seem to
have no care as to where the money comes
from, but are creating clerkships and fat 20
sitions for their friends at an alarming rate.
Large appropriations are being asked for.
and adjournments are frequently taken. al
though pay goes on just the same. There
should be retrenchment and reform, and the
people must demand it.--Glencoe Enter
prise.
There is bill now pending in the house to
prohibit any person from practicing veterin-
airy medicine Or surgery who is not regular
graduate of some veterinary college, who
must pass an examination before state
board, ETC., etc. 1t seems to us that this is
vicious sort of legislation that is becoming
too common. Every class and profession is
rushing for legislation to aid them in their
business by creating sort of monopoly
Pennington Tribune.
Senator Daniels last week introduced bill
to prevent prize fighting in this state. The
Twin City dailies will fight it with cheap rid
icule, of course, because the prize ring fur
nishes those papers some of the most newsy
and attractive columns for city readers The
aemoralizing influence of the prize ring
should be recognized by every good law
MAKER and the bill should pass and become
a law.-Dodge Republican.
