Legislative Notes.
ON motion of Mr.. Bjornson, Messrs.
Johnson and McCabe were yesterday
given the privilege of the floor of the
house.
THE speaker signed senate bill 20 yester-
day. The bill donates a school Sec
ton to the academy of science at Wahpe-
ton.
IT is said by a gentleman who figured it
out that the extra tax under Senator
Little's free text book bill, would amount
to but two-tenths OF a mill.
Mr.. GILL yesterday took a broad and
liberal view OF the case when the Ignite
coal bill was under discussion. Although
a resident of the Red River valley, he be-
lieves in encouraging anything that may
help any newer portions of the state, ven
if there is no immediate return in dollars
and cents. The time will come when this
same Ignite coal will be one OF the chief
sources of North DakOta's wealth.
THE democrats of the senate and house
held a caucus last night, but nothing of
Importance was done.
THE enate elections committee met last

was under consideration. The testi
mony from the counties of Eddy and
Wells was all right, but that

ken. The committee adjourned to meet al
10 o'clock this morning.

REPRESENTATIVE WALTON is quite ill
with pneumonia.
AT a late hour last night, the friends of
Governor Miller were chasing around
town after the parties who had circulated
the report that he had withdrawn. and il
is said the ramification led up to McCum
Der, who-didn't think Miller would be
In it.
TOMORROW the legislature meets at high
noon in joint session to vote for senator.
By the way, who has heard from Prof
Sprague?
If, as it is claimed, Smith Stimmel sup
ported Walter Muir for governor last fall
the latter is ungrateful. He ought to turn
in for Stimmel now, instead of being
candidate himself. What right nave those
men to expect support from republicans
after giving aid and comfort to the enemy
last fall? If the record of these men is as
represented, how can republicans vote for
them?
PERSONS laboring IN the state banking
law are urging its repeal on the grount
that the section Objectionable was put il
after the bill was passed. Had that beer
80, the supreme court would have declared
the bill Unconstitutional, but instead they
declared it valid. Perhaps the farmer!
will want some reason why this section
should be repealed-want to know if i
will save 'em any taxes.
MAJOR EDWARDS? He would make jus
as good a senator as any named. Il
would be conspicuous in ability as we'll a
size.
WHEN Farmer Axvig heard the title O
the pharmacy bill read yesterday, it is SAT-
that he leaned over to Representative Lut
and asked, els that bill about farming"
A MEMBER of the house: 1t is positivel,
! distressing to see some one introduce
bill, following it through the long and de
| yious windings of reference, committee re
port and readings, and when it finall,
comes up for passage, and members jum]
on it and smite it hip and thigh, sit still
and never say a word to prevent its slaugf
ter.
"Mo1KE MCCARTHY" whoever tina
