when MeSSrS. kinter and Svensrud re-
ported on the journal of the 18th. The
report recommended a change in Mr.. Inks
resolution relating to the expunging pro-
cess. He did not like the committee and
he called it a patching up committee.'
He moved that "the rules be suspended to
allow the patching up of the journal com
mittee to have their report acted upon by
the senate"
Mr.. KINTER moved as an amendment
that the journal OF the 18th OF February be
adopted,
After some little parleying over points
of order, the journal was approved. Be.
fore the final resolution was adopted, Mr..
LaMoure said he did not object. as he
would in a few days have a resolution to
make OH the same subject.
UNIVERSITY QUESTIONS.
The following resolution wa introduced
by Mr.. Cashel:
WHEREAS, The taxpayers of this state
find 1t difficult to meet the actual and nee
eSSary expenses required to run the state
and the institutions therein, and that there
appears from the last report of the board
Of trustees of the University of North Da-
kOta that certain students from other
states are in attendance free OF tuition,
therefore be it
RESOLVED. That the committee on educa-
ton be n are hereby Instructed to in
uuire into the rules ad Uniting students to
said university, and, if in their judgment it
becomes necessary, to draft Il bill regulat-
ing the tuition or admittance thereto
MI. CASHEL said ne noticed out of l51
students Thirteen were reported from other
states. He did not believe it right to allow
students from other states to attend the
university free. He believed it to be the
rule within other states that students are
obliged to pay a naturalization fee to the
universities of their W states. 1t seemed
to him this should be inquired into.
Mr.. WORST favored the resolution. The
university is two miles from the city. He
did not favor removing the university
down to the city, but it is impossible for Il
student to get accommodations in the city
and attend the school, and only those
students Fan attend the school that can be
accommodated in the dOrmitory. The
complaint was raised last winter that they
unwise to allow others to come IN from
other states.
STOLEN MINUTES.
Mr.. LAMOURE called the attention OF
the senate to the fact that the written min
utes of the preceding day had been stolen
after they had been brought back from the
printer. There could be but one interest
that took the minutes. 1t was a serious
matter. He desired an investigation.
After some little discussion, Mr.. Patch
r%e-intrOduced his concurrent resolution
introduced on the previous day, relating to
the payment of taxes On indemnity lands
Of the Northern Pacific railroad com
pany.
The resolution was referred to the CON-
mittee on judiciary, with instructions to
report by Tuesday.
Mr.. LAMOURE moved that a committee
Of three be appointed by the chair, with
instructions to inquire into the matter of
the taking of the Minutes OF the previous
day from the se%cretary's desk; and also
that the committee be instructed to consult
with the attorney-general as to the effect
the loss Of that journal will have on our
acts. The motion was adopted. MeSsrS.
LaMoure, Mccormick OF Ramsey and
Casllel were appointed as such com
mIttee.
The journal, on motion of Mr.. Arnold,
was then read.
THIRD READINGS.
Senate bill 172. Relating to the creation
OF deaf and dumb institute. The bill
passed.
House bill 25. Encouraging the use of
native Goa. This bill provides for the
burning OF native coal by the state insti-
buttons. The bill passed after the house
proviso had been struck out, which pro-
vided that native coal shall be used when
it can be purchased at as low proportion
ate rates as coal mined in other states.
DISCUSSING COAL
In the senate Mr.. McGillivray advanced
the idea that the state had been paying
tribute to the states of Ohio, Illinois and
Pennsylvania long enough by purchasing
the coal of those states. About five mil
lion dollars a year had been paid out by
this state for coal to other states, and he
wondered we were not bankrupt, after
striving to sustain such a drain.
MIR. WORST said he was at the James,
town asylum last year, and the engineer
there clearly demonstrated that Ignite
coal was rs per cent. dearer than Ohio or
Pennsylvania coal. The engineer could
not be mistaken. He demonstrated it. and
he 1.-THE speaker) was almost convinced
that the engineer was right. But not
w~ithstanding that, the state had been
saved from SIS to $6 a day by burning lig-
mite, and the figures carry it out. He ia
vored encouraging home industry.
