auChdta " AG houoC to 10 u
exemption SIS, instead of $50, as in the
original senate bull. A motion 10 the sen.
ate to indefinitely postpone the bill was
lost. A motion to concur in the amend
ment was lost. and motion to indefinitely
postpone further consideration of the bill
was then carried. This leaves the exemp-
ton at 800, the same as it now stands.
Upon the announcement hat the house
had refused to concur in the senate
amendments to the house bill in relation
to turning ever certain uncxpended funds
to the capitol building commission a con-
ference committee was appointed.
The governor announced that he had
signed the following bills:
The semi monthly wages bill; providing
that eight hours actual work shall consti-
tue a lawful days work In all coal mines
in this state; amending sections Of the
Revised Statutes in relation to the gov
eminent and the state university; pro-
vididing a hospital for miners.
House bill SO, amending section 1899,
Revised Statutes, relative to the assess
ment and taxation of railway and tele-
graph lines and property was passed.
The governor returned without his ap-
prevail the senate bill securing to laborers
a lien for wages, on the ground tina; an
innocent person is not protected under
the act. The message stated hat the bill,
SO far as it affected the employer, met
with the approval of the chief executive;
that il the employer is indebted TO the
employee the debt should be paid; and If
the payment is refused the wage Garner
should be afforded an adequate remedy
at law. But under the bill no protection
is furnished to innocent third persons,
aud for that reason the bill was vetoed.
The senate.sustained the veto.
The bill providing that pleadings 10
justice of the peace courts shall be 10
writing, was also returned vetoed. Tie
ground taken was that in minor matters,
such as are brought in justice courts, llti-
gants should be allowed to plead their W
cases. aud thus save expense, and upon
further ground that justice courts were
often found in parts OF the country where
a,,orpevs were hard IN ohta;n Tbo senats
