NEW CAPITOL BILL
Made a Special Order for Next
Wednesday.


Hon. p. H. Kelly, backed by the Ram
sey county delegation aud a majority of
the members of the house, scored a sig
nifcant victory during the morning Ses-
sion. After somewhat stubborn con =
test over the new capitol bill in com :
mittee. substitute bill was reported
back yesterday by Chairman Sullivan,
of thu committee on public buildings.
The new bill is really more desirable if
anything than the original. The differ
ence between them is only in detail, but
some crudities have been eliminated,
anu in places the language is improved
aud strengthened. The three-quarter-
mile limit for location is retained.
To simply adopt the report favorable
to passage would have put the bill far
down on general orders, where it might
rest for an indefinite time. AS it stands
now, master move has placed it in po
sitiOn for early action. This Is how it
happened:
MIR. Sullivan reported back from the
committee on public buildings the sub
stitute, with recommendation that the
same do pass.
a. 0. Richardson said the report fav-
oring the passage of the bill was not
unanimous. He wanted to see the bill
indefinitely postponed.
Mr.. Sullivan moved that the report of
the committee be adopted. The motion
prevailed on standing vote, 40 TO %.
p. IL. Kelly then moved that consider
alton of the bill be made a special order
for Friday at 2:3O.
Mr.. Bjorge raised the objection that
the time would be too short for proper
examination of such long bill. He
moved to amend by making it special
order for Friday of next week.
Mr.. Kelly moved to amend by sub
Stituting Wednesday next at 2:30. The
amendment prevailed, and the capitol
bill will be considered i'll committee Of
the whole on that date.

A LIVELY OPENING
OF the Fight Against the "Con
ductors' Bill.

OF the Fight Against the "Con-
ductors' Bill.
When the house was called to order
after recess, some committee reports of
MINOR Importance were received and
acted on. Then the speaker announced
the special order, which was considera-
ton of Ii. F. 4S4, to regulate the sale of
Transportation tickets of common car
riers, a substitute for H.F 30, presented
by the judiciary committee.
Mr., BOggS moved a call of the house.
When all of the members had been ac-
counted for, further proceedings under
the call were dispensed with, and the
house resolved itself into committee of
the whole, with MIR. Turrell in the
chair.
On completion of the reading of the
bill Mr.. Vansant, of Winona, moved
that when the commltte rise it recon-
mend that the bill do pass. Speaking
to the motion, he reviewed the progress
of the bill, the changes made, etc. He
sent up an affidavit to substantiate the
statement that the bill is being pushed
by the conductors and not by the rail-
roads.
Mr.. Greer objected to its reading, say
llR lao was Willie W bohO lhO hOlu VI
the gentleman from WinOna. Later the
affidavit was withdrawn.
Mr.. Wilson offered an amendment to
change the reading of section 5 in a
minor particular.
Mr.. Sails offered a comprehensive
amendment, which in effect wauld make
all tickets but employees trip passes
transferable and good for use by any
one presenting them.
Mr.. BOggs objected, holding the
amendment was not proper one to be
tackled on the bill.
Mr.. Sails replied that if the bill was a
bona fde conductors bill his amend
ment was calculated 10 altogether re-
move their grievances, and if adopted
would leave 10 room for the scalper.
Mr.. Wilson. of Goodhue. raised Obiec-
tion TO the amendment, and it was voted
down.
MIR. Howard offered an amendment
which would make all tickets practl-
cally unlimited and eligible for use by
any person.
Mr.. Boggs again objected. He held
! the amendment was even wider in its
scope than the one offered by Mr.. Sails.
Mr.. Greer differed, holding that when
| he purchased ticket and paid for it he
should be allowed to use it or sell it as
he saw mt. The people should have
some rights reserved to them.
Mr.. Howard spoke ably in defense OF
his amendment. He wanted to know
what sort of justice was contained In
the proposition that man might be

SENATE ROUTINE.
Cutting Out New Legislation and
Other Matters.

Cutting Out New Legislation and
Other Matters.
After the customary petitions had
been received by the senate, protesting
against religious legislation, change
of the capitol site, and for submission
of the liquor question to the people, the
following bills were introduced:
By Senator O'Brien, S. f. No. 401-
To aid in constructing bridge in Pine
county; to the committee OH roads and
bridges.
BY Senator Glader, S. F. 402-TO pro-
vide for a copitol commission to secure
the erection OF new capitol in kandi-
yohi county; to the committee on
finance.
BY Senator McHalc, s. F. 4O3-Tlme
of holding court in the First Judicial
district. The bill was passed under
suspension of the rules.
BY Senator Leavitt, S. +. 404-To pro-
vide for the assessment and collection
of a tax upon the estates of decedentS;
to the committee on judiciary. -
By Senator StreisSguth, 5. +. 400
Amend the law relating to the terms of
Office of township treasures; to the
committee on towns and counties.
By Senator Streissguth, S. f. 407-TO
amend the law relating to the collection
of taxes; to the committee on taxes and
tax laws.
Senator Davis introduced bin yes
terday making an appropriation OF S159,-
36O additional for the current hospitals
for the insane, but it was ruled out on
the ground that the limitation time for
the Introduction Of such bills had been
passed, and this led to an interesting
controversy. Senator Davis had been
too busily engaged in other ways to pre-
sent the measure in time, but he insist
ed that common courtesy should admit
the bill at this time. he submitted
that, while the finance committee will
undoubtedly give the relief asked In an
omnibus bill, he would be morally held
responsible, ,inaSmuch as he is the chair
man of the committee on hospitals for
the insane. He gave notice that he will
introduce resolution today extending
the time sufficient to admit the bill.
Something of sensation was the re-
suit of the report of the Judiciary COM
mittee on the bill fixing the maximum
salary of building and loan officers
at s., 900 year. 1t was recommended
for indefinite postpOnement. Senator
Davis pronounced snap Judgment. as
only few of the members had voted
upon the proposition, and j. ID. Smith
Opposed the report because he urged
that it was beneath the dignity of the
committee to pass so Summarlly upon
bill that had gone through the
house, Senator Day arraigned the build
ing and loan associations as swlndling
Institutions, and there was hot ex'
change of words. Senator D0nnelly
contended that the legislature had no
more right to fix the salaries paid by
one corporation than it had to fix those
paid by another, but the bill went on
general orders.
A proposition for a free site for the
proposed new elevator was presented TO
the senate committee OH grain and
warehouses yesterday by land owners
in West Superior. While no action was
taken, 1t seems safe to predict that the
offer Will be rejected.

A STRANGE OMISSION
Noticed by the Member From Rice
County.

SOuHtys
A. B. Kelly said it seemed more than
passing strange to him that the bill as
introduced did not in any line or sec
ton contain reference to the mutt
lated, stolen or forged tickets COM
planned OF. He could not divest him.
self of the belief that the title of the
bill should be changed 10 read "a bill
to deprive individuals of their rights in
certain cases." 1t will, said he, if en-
acted into law, virtually allow the rail-
road companies to cUntiscate under un-
fair conditions the property of any man,
in the shape of ticket which lie may
for any reason be unable to use.
Mr.. BoggS once more attacked the
amendment as not being germane to the
bill. He hoped it would be voted down.
Mr.. Ives questioned the logic and
bearing of the utterances of gentlemen
favorable to the bill when they asserted
it would run counter to the interstate
commerce law if amended as proposed.
Mr.. Underleak believed the amend
ments had merit il they should be pre-
sented in the shape OF a new bill, but
he was opposed to tacking them onto
this one.
Mr.. Leonard hoped the amendment
would prevail, and Mr.. O'Neill took the
same position because he believed the
amendment would give Just the relief
the conductors are seeking.
A standing vote was then taken on

Senator McHale submitted an amend
ment to section 2 by adding the words
''in so far as the provisions OF this act
do not affect the gross earnings tax.
Senator Tdwney thought the amend
ment unnecessary, and all it could do
would be to occasion delay that threat
ems the passage of the bill. 1t would
have To go back to the house. and IL is
late in the session and might never be

Senator McHale claimed that his
motives had been msconstrued. lie

ings system in the fullest degree.

Senator Sanb0rn moved that the COM

fight the battle to the end before ad-
jOurnment.

of the bill to talk it to death, very
well, let it die. am ready to sit it out"
Senator DOnnelly said it Is the great
est question that will come before the
session, ana he moved to amend that
committee report progress and ask
leave to sit again and make it special
order for IL O'clock the following morn
ing. Senator Tawney moved TO recon-
mend that the question be considered in

BEGUN OVER AGAIN.
a New Amendment Renews tho
Talking.

Mr.. Fletcher proposed an amendment
which would make new section, to
allow railroads to file a bond with the
state auditor in the sum of $4,000 to
guarantee the redemption of all issued
tickets. sl
Mr. BoggS' regular objection was
forthcoming. He held the amendment
unnecessary and not worthy OF con-
sideratiOn by the house. lie desired
that vote should be taken OIL the bill,
and pleaded for "a fair show" on the
measure without further delay. n
Mr.. Horton took up the defense OF
the amendment. and argued that 1t em-
bodied proper and absolutely necess
sary provision for the protection or the
public, without which they would have
very slim chance of having redeemed
any ticket or portion of Il ticket.
Mr.. Wilson desired to know ii it
would not be better to make the filing
OF bond mandatory instead OF optional.
Mr.. Horton replied that it would not.
for reasons that should be well known
to the gentleman as a railroad advocate.
Mr.. Wilson strongly maintained that
inherent police power OF the state could
be invoked against any corporation
within the state.
Mr.. Cairns made clear, concise
speech in favor of Mr.. Fletcher's amend
ment.
Mr.. Vansant said he thought the dis
cusSiOn had gone far enough. He did
not believed the amendments were
offered in good faith, and hoped they
would be voted down as fast as offered.
Let us hit head wherever we see it,"
said he.
Mr.. Fletcher protested that he was
friend Of the bill, and would vote for it
ii his amendment was incorporated. He
held the bill would be worthless to the
people without it.
Mr. Boggs had the amendment read.
and then insisted that it was dangerous
and should be voted down.
The chair declared 1t was voted down
a moment later on standing vote. 4U
to 40.
Mr.. Howard then proposed an amend
ment that unused portions of tickets
should be redeemed pro rata; that is, il
a man had any portion of q ticket to be
redeemed he should receive for it the
regular rate per mile.
Mr.. Fleming was not opposed to the
amendment, but feared it would have
the effect of abolishng excursion rates.
Mr.. BoggS held it would be unfair to
used portions of tickets IN the way pro-
posed, when they were issued at special
rates.
The amendment was adopted, how
ever, by good majority, and then Mr..
VanSant moved that when the commit
tee rise it recommend the bill for pas
sage as amended. The motion pre-
vailed. the committee rose, its report
was adopted without debate, and the
house adjourned to 10 4. III. today.

Senator Keller enjoys the popular
opinion that the present system of SELL
ing pine land stumpage by the state is
not in full accord with the best interests
of the state, and that the method of tax
alton is also exceedingly faulty. Yes
terday he sprung sensation by intro
ducng the following, which was
adopted, and in accordance Herewith
Senators Kellers, Donnelly and j. d.
Smith were appointed committee to
investigate, and clothed with the powers
to employ a clerk and stenographer:
Whereas, 1t is generally known and re.
ported that large quantities OF land ana OF
personal property In this state belonging 10
private parties and firms. associations and
corporations, heretofore and at the present
time, either escape taxation altogether or 90
not bear their just proportion thereof: ana.
Whereas. 1t is known that Ill certain cases
the deeds TO large tracts of such lands which
have been purchased from the government
and the state, and especially from such rail
road companies entitled to land grants. have
been withheld from record by the grantees
therein expressly for the purpose of avoid
lug the taxation of such land: and
Whereas, In other cases such exemption
from taxation results from the corrupt and
unlawful action of county officials whereby
the homeSteaders settlers and other citizens
are unjustly charged with excessive sums OF
money in the shape of taxes-sums far out
of proportion to the amount that should
properly be charged against them, ana III
addition thereto the revenues of both state
and county are annually defrauded Of large
sums of money which rightfully belong
thereto; therefore
Resolved, That the president Of the senate
be, and is hereby authorized 10 appoint, with
out delay, a committee of three, who shall at
once proceed to inquire into and investigate
the matters and things herein referred to.
and such other matters and things pertaining
thereto, as Shall be brought TO its notice, and
said committee shall have power to compel
the attendance of witnesses with records ana

report to this senate not later than one week
before the final adjournment of the present
