the bill more explicit, which were

the bill more explicit, which were
adopted.
Mr. Brules offered an amendment to
bring Touring mills under the operation
the bill IVA was rel read 81 on by section.
Mr.. O'Neill objected to section l as
lodging too much power in the hands of
the grain and warehouse commission,
allowing them to say who shall not
operate elevators.
Mr.. Mcguire was opposed to the whole
bill, as unnecessary and uncalled for.
Mr.. Bjorge opposed it OH the same
ground.
MIR. Abbott thought the bill was
needed to shut out sharks who are
preyiHg on the people.
MIR. Greer asserted that if the bill was
passed the occupation of the political
demagOgue would be gone. He knew
that about four months before every
election there were many men ciam0r-
Ing for just such laws, but afterWard
they did not want them. He thought
the remedy for many evils was provided
by the licensing and other features of
the bill. Reliable grading would be
assured by its provisions, he held. and
the bill would be long step i'll the
right direction.
Mr.. jacobson grew vehement i'll sup
porting tile bill, because he thought it
would abolish the political demagOgue
ana benefit some people somewhere lii
the state who are unable to help them
selves.
Mr.. Wyman wanted to know what the
city representatives were TO do as re-
CARDS Legislation for the farmers when
two such Well-pOsted agriculturiStS as
MeSSrS. Mcguire and jacobson differed
Oh measures presumably for the benefit
OF the farmers.
Suspicious of Farmers.
Mr.. Linnemann said his constituents
simply wanted to be left free people
in a free country. He thought license
system was unnecessary, and he was
opposed to the bill. Later OH he dubbed
it "a lawyers scheme" and hoped it
would be indefinitely postponed.
MIR. Moore was struck by the fact that
the farmers on the floor were opposed
10 the pill. while the men who were not
farmers supported it. He considered
the bill unnecessary, and held it could
serve no good purpose. He objected to
it on general principles.
Mr.. French said that. while he was
not particularly interested in the meas
ure, i'll glancing over the report of the
state grain inspector he found that there
were no public warehouses in Duluth
and St. Paul, and only one or two in
Minneapolis. He, therefore, thought
careful consideration should be given to
bills, the provisions of which might be
SO easily evaded.
Mr.. Ives said he desired to vote for
anything that would benefit the farm
ers. and would be governed by the
wishes of their special representatives.
On suggestion of Mr., Mcguire, Mr..
Greer moved to make the bill special
order for next Thursday at 2:30.
The committee then rose, and its re-
part was adopted, as follows:

port OF Judiciary to pass as amended;
minority report Indefinitely POSTPONE.

2:30 D. III.
When the report had been adopted
motion was made to simply adjourn.
There were many and vigorous protests
Oh the ground that the house had ac-
cepted an invitation to visit Saltwater
today, and as the prison officials had
made preparations 10 receive them, it
would be no more than fair to 20 over.
This line of argument prevailed, and
the house adjourned to 10 a. NJ. Satur-
day.
