HERD BILL,

The following is the text of Senator
Parkins' bill, No. 81, which has passed
the senate and which, because of the
urgency recited in the emergency clause,
it will be admitted, ought to pass the
house and become a law at once: 90
A bill for an act to amend subdivision 30
OF section 70 of the laws of 1887.
SECTION /. That subdivision 30 of sec.
ton l, article 4 of chapter 70, OF the laws of
1887, be amended so as to read as follows:
Cities, wi, ther incorporated under this
act or not, are hereby empowered by their
councils to license, tax, regulate. suppress
and prohibit hawkers, peddIers, pawn
brokers, keepers Of %ordinaries, places
where refreshments are sold, to be used on
the premises, theatrical and other exhibit
tons, shows and amusements, ticket scalp
ers. employment agencies, to regulate the
gathering Of stock to herd or pasture, and
to punish those gathering and herding the
same without a license, and to revoke all
such licenses at pleasure.
An emergency existing in that the herd
ing season commences prior to the 1st of
July, and in that there is no provision Of
law now in force to provide for licensing
the above named businesses, this act shall
take effect on and after is passage and ap-
prOYal.

A BANKRUpTCV LAW

One of the most important deviations
from our present laws so far recon-
mended by the compilation committee is
what may practically be termed a bank
ruptcy law. Among it's provisions is one
which provides that any person owing
$500 or more may take advantage of it,
and by surrendering property owned
over and above exemption, be released
from payment of all indebtedness. A
national bankruptcy law may be a good
thing, whether or not a state law, will
not seriously affect the credit of the
state, should be carefully considered in
connection with the passage of the rec
o"mmendation of the committee.

The Worlds Fair Tests
showed no baking powder
so pure or so great in Leav.
ening power as the Royal
Fixing Up.

Superintendent Marshall of the state
capitol building has begun upon the
work of ~renovating and cleaning up the
store-rooms and basement of the build
ing, and is inaugurating some improve
ments about the place. Some odd finds
are being made-one of them the dis
covery Of three barrels Of chimneys for
Rochester lamps, and only five lamps
about the building which the chimneys
would fit. The pops believed evidently
in being long on lamp chimneys, even if
a little short on funds. The basement.
too, has been Uttered up with old boxes,
paper, and other materials, ana this will
be cleaned out and used for fuel. The
former administration, too, purchased
oil in fve-gallon cans, when it REQUIRES
about twenty gallons to fill the lamps
about the building once. A tank to hold
a barrel or so has been sent for. and
hereafter the place will be supplied with
more oil and fewer lamp chimneys.

them were worthy of the prohibition
champions. Senator Gregory grew elo.
quent in defense of his position, and
showed. from a republican standpoint,
the folly of trying to attach prohibition
as a tail to the republican kite. Senator
Burke ably argued the question from
the standpoint of the peoples right at
any and all reasonable times to appeal
to the ballot and determine questions Of
Importance. Senator Sorley spoke in
the same line. He said that two years
ago he had voted against resubmisslon,
but since that time his observation had
convinced him that it would never be
settled satisfactorily until the people
had again voted upon it. All of the SEN
ators were heartily applauded. The reso.
luton now goes to the house. 1t ought
to pass that body.

The house committee on railroads at
Friday nights session had under consider
alton Nj. Lindstrom's railroad bill and
agreed upon a majority and minority re-
port. The majority report will be in
favor of and the minority opposed to it's
passage. The attitude of the senate up
to this time gives little encouragement
to those who favor anything like radical
railroad legislation, yet the house com
mittee at least seem to have concluded
that if we are to have railroad commits
sions they should be furnished with
some power to act. The question of the
control of railroads is an important one
to the people who depend SO much upon
them both to bring in what we use and
take out and what we raise. Let us have
just legislation for the people and the
corporations, and equal taxation.

listic ~paternallsm wherein the few are
benefited at the expense of the many un-
der the pretense of economy.
In this year of r~etrenchment, should
the republican party, so largely domi-
nant in both houses of the Legislative as
sembly. pass a bill of this character and
compel the school districts to discard
the books they already have for such as
two or three persons of the county
may dictate, and assume the re-
sponsibility and antagonism that must
ensue, and the party will suffer in every
polling precinct in the state. It is a
good time to let experiments and school
trust tads alone. The experience of
every state that has experimental with
free and uniform text books warns us to
let it alone. The interests of the repub-
llcan party warns us to let 1T alone. It
may be a good thing for those who die.
tate what books shall be used, but a bad
thing for those who pay the bills. After
the hard times are over and the states
credit is reclaimed will be ample time to
try this experiment, only to repudlate
the work at a later date, as other states
have done.
The older and more conservative
states, with larger experience and rev.
enue, are not advocating this experiment.
The republicans in the senate and
house cannot afford, at this session an
experiment that will react as the pas
sage OF this or any similar bill will, and
assist in their defeat in future.

THE FREE TEXT BOOK QUESTION

House bill %, an act to provide free
and uniform school text books, etc., in
troduced by Logan and that passed the
house Monday should not pass the sem
ate without careful examination. What.
ever may be said in It's favor it is never.
theless liable to work mischief in many
portions of the state.
The county board of education created
for the purpose of prescribing uniform
text books for each county is composed
OF the county superintendent, county
auditor and the chairman Of the board
of county commissioners. Two of said
board, OF a majority, may or may not be
at all conversant will school books, and
not in any sense competent to prescribe
text books for a county.
They are no more closely allied to the
educational interests of the county than
the sheriff or coroner, and the jobbery
permissible under the provisions of the
bill is immense.
The respective districts are without a.
single safeguard.
After the books are selected and
adopted for i've years the board is en-
powered to establish local dealers "to
handle books for the district with such
an increase above contract price to pay
cost of transportation and handling as
may be agreed upon between said board
and said Dealers" which is liable to
grave abuse. A five.year irrevocable
contract, or monopoly, and if said board
and said dealers were SO disposed they
would have a pretty good thing at the
taxpayers expense.
The bill is badly constructed, and
faulty in many of it's provisions.
There is no advantage in county unl-
formity at best, and no argument in it's
favor, but plenty Of room for jobbery.
A simple provision of law, authorizing
district school boards to establish uni
formity within their respective districts
and to furnish, free of cost, the neces-
sary textbooks, would settle the whole
matter at less expense and more effect
lively than in any other way.
1t a pupil were to move from one dis
trlct to another, the textbooks being free
would be no disadvantage whatever.
There would be ~ monopoly, no chance
for a "rake off," and the enlarged COM
petition among book dealers would
cheaper books rather than otherwise.

SOME of the papers are severely criti-
cising Representative Svensrud's bill
which has passed the house, cutting
down the amount Of personal property
exempt from taxation from 5000 to S25,
but Mr.. Svenerud says he is satisfied he
is on the right track. Tue present law
is evaded. That is, in some sections
farmers and stockmen who actually own
a thousand dollars worth of property or
more, by parceling it out among MEM
beers of the family or hired men about
the time the assessor comes around,
manage, under the 5000 exemption, to
escape taxation. He believes every citi-
zen ought to share, even though the mite
be ever so small, in the burdens of taxa
ton.

With the rrilby sewing circle and the Trilby

Then we'll get the Trilby sausage, and the Trilby

UNIFORM FREE r tx r-BOOKS.

Three bills are now pending before
the legislature on the question of free
textbooks. The Logan bill, providing
for county uniformity, which may be
said to fairly express the populistic idea
on this subject. The Arnold bill, for dis
trict uniformity, and the Brown bill, for
free textbooks, each of the uniformity
bills, however, provide as we'll for free
textbooks.
Under a law providing for textbooks,
a complete supply of books would be
necessary for each pupil in the state, the
average cost per pupil from primary up
to the eighth grade would not be less than
two dollars, and the cost for the entire
state would simply be the price per pupil
multiplied by the whole number en-
rolled.
Where the law compels boards to pur-
chase, and publishers to file a statement
of their contract prices, n of the fea-
lures of the ordinary book charge is
eliminated, viz, an exchange rate.
Generally where a change takes place
in text. books, a discount of from 40 to
so per cent. of the price of the new book
is allowed for the old. But where boards
are compelled to furnish books free, no
pupil is going to give his old book as
part payment for a new one that cannot
belong to him, but is the property of the
district.
But aside from the expenses there are
many other features of the question that
makes the wisdom of the passage of a
free and uniform textbook law doubt
full. Frequently school books are the

Gets His Patent.

A. F. Mallick of Jamestown, an en-
gineer on the Northern Pacific, has re-
Gently been granted his patent on an i'm
portant invention. 1t is claimed for the
device that it will prevent boiler explo-
sions by announcing the dangerous con-
dition of the boiler in time for the at
tendant to prevent an explosion, or, If
seen to be inevitable, to secure safety to
his person. The object of the invention
is to provide a new and improved boiler
alarm gauge which is comparatively
simple and durable and arranged to &C.
curately indicate both the steam pressure
and the degree of heat in the boiler.
This enables the attendant to see at a
glance. or hear, it being equipped with
an electric alarm, whether or not the
boiler is in a safe connition. The inven-
ton, outwardly, consists of little more
than a couple of gauges attached to the
boiler head, and having connection with
the interior of the boiler.
The invention consists of a heat and a
pressure indicator, arranged in such a
manner that the pointer of the heat in
dictator moves in unison with the pointer
OF the pressure gauge as long as the
boiler is working normally. Should the
heat indicator hand travel faster than
the pressure gauge hand then it Indicates
that an abnormal increase of heat in the
boiler is taking place, and the alarm bell
is sounded, giving the attendant plenty
of time to save the boiler from exploding
by applying the proper remedy.

AFTER July LIST next it will be unlaw-
full to sell cigarettes or expose them for
sale in any form in this state. It may be
that this law will not, if carried to the
courts, prevent the sale of cigarettes in
original packages, but if a court was
justified IN stretching a point it is in
this matter. The manufacture, sale and
smoking of cigarettes is a greater curse
to mankind than the liquor traffic.

The house railroad committee seem
to be impressed favorably with the idea
that the railroad commissioners should
have more power. The bill that was re-
ported f%avorably Saturday will please
all those who favor change in the man

roads practically in the hands of the
railroad commission. The bill should
have been amended in many particulars
before it was even recommended to pass.
