The Free for All.
In committee of the whole, with Mr..
jacobson i'll the chair, seven bills were
considered and disposed of.
There was considerable discussion
over the merits of and necessity for the
passage of H. f. No. 81. providing for
furnishing copies of Minnesota reports
to judges. Mr.. Greer ably defended
the measure, and explained the neceS-
sity for furnishing these reports. 1t
was finally recommended to pass. The
second and third bills OH general orders
were to be considered together. They
are House Files No. SS and No. SO, and
both relate to transfers and taxation of
taxable property. 1t was developed that
there is some jealousy between the in
PRODUCERS OF these bills. and it was in
simulated by Mr.. Peterson that his bill
had not been fairly considered in the
judiciary committee. The committee
eXtricated itself from the wrangle into
which it had been drawn by making the
two bills special order for Tuesday.
II. f. No. I39, relating to township
supervision of highways, was indefi-
nitely postponed without debate or COLI
SideratiOn.
The committee struck another snag
when II. F. No. 50, relating to salaries
of county attorneys, was reached. They
avoided all friction after the first clash
by referring the bill to Judiciary c0r.-
mittee for a decision as to Its conStitu-
tiOnality. The committee did not daily
long with MIR. Koerner'S bill, Ii. f. No.
$50, relating to the sale of intoxicating
liquors. 1t was recommended to pass
without opposition. The next bill on
the list was the Ives "eminent domain"
II. f. No. Sc. 1t was so amended, on
motion of Mr.. Winston, that the right
Is reserved to city councils or village
trustees to grant or refuse franchises.
As amended the bill was recommended
to pass.

the following report, which was adopted:
