The Judiciary committee reported
back II. b. No. 10, providing for the
appointment of public administra
tor, and recommended that it pas.
with an amendment making the OF
flee appointive for period of six in
stead of four years.
Mr.. Baker moved an amendment
making the public administrator cleo.
tive every two years, instead of having
1t an appointive office. He wanted
to put such offices in the hands OF the
people directly, and thought they
could be trusted to do what was right
and he believed that officials should
give an account of their stewardship
once every two years.
After debate, Bakers amendment
was lost: Yeas &c, nays 80.
Mr.. Mays moved to recommit the
bill, but it was voted down. Mays
then moved az an amendment to make
the bond required of the public adj
ministrator $25 900 instead of 5000
and this was also lost, as it was
shown that the Judge could require q
larger bond at any time.
Mr.. Mead then moved that the bill
be put on final passage, and Judson
spoke against its passage. He de.
clared that it was simply scheme to
make more public offices, and he did
not think the people would endorse
such thing. He knew of case in
California, he said, where the public
administrator had actually killed a
man whose estate he was to admins.
ter upon. simply because he could no,
wait for him to die. Judson said the
people were now complaining. about
too many offices, and he was with the
people. These public officials, were al
ways conniving together, andit would
be mistake too add another one tc
the number OF offices now provided fol
by law.
The bill was then put to vote on
final passage and failed to- pass, the
vote being: Yeas 36, nays 40.
The Judiciary committee also recon-
mended the passage of II. b. No. As
by Weed OF Yakima, abolishing the
days OF grace on negotiable papers
Weed moved that the bill be recon-
mitted, but this was voted down anC
it was placed on third reading an,
final passage. Alter debate Mentzel
moved to indefinitely postpone the bill
and it was so ordered by unanimous
vote.
II. b. No. 90 was also recommended
for passage by the judiciary committee

leases of real property, and on motion
OF Hurd it was passed by the Hous,
without dissenting vote, seventy-fiv

to send all bills and resolutions ap
propriating money, to the appropria
tons committee, to be embodied il
