Representative Dale's bill for a con-
stitutional amendment prohibiting the
appropriation of money in support of
any sectarian institution, which has
been considered as kind of compan-
ion piece to the Sander bill, was also
passed by substantially the same vote,
although several members voted for
this who opposed the Sander bill.
Other bills were passed as follows:
S. F. 360, relating to county survey
orS in certain counties.
S. F. PA, relating to teachers certifi-
Gates.
S. F. 301, relat ting to clerks of courts
and sheriffs in certain counties.

TO LOAN PUBLIC FUNDS.
The forenoon session was given
largely to the discussion and final
passage of the senate bill for a constl-
tutionaI amendment permitting the
state to loan it's school funds to coun-
ties. cities and villages, where the Sc
curity is considered safe and ample
The senate bill was accepted in prefer
ence to the house bill, because of the
better arranged details of the former,
both bills having the same general OBJ
ject in view. The bill provides that no
loans shall be made in localities where
the debt is above per- cent of the as
SeSSed valuation. 1t also provides that
the lowest rate of interest shall be
per cent, and no lean shall be made for
less than five years. There was much
debate over the rate of interest, many
members holding that the minimum
rate should be per cent, but the 8 per
cent rate was finally adopted, and the
bill passed without negative vote.
Just before the adjournment Mr.
Jacobson stated that the committee 10
investigate salaries and fees of state
officials and employees was ready to
make a partial report. He thereupon
submitted a statement showing the
boards, with terse recommendation in
each case. According to the commit
tee, the oil inspector has many kinds
of good thing, showing up a net bal
ance for 1894 of nearly $1,000
The clerk of the supreme court is the
only state official proper who submits
an 1tenlized statement of his receipts
and expenditures, and the committee
let's him down easy. His office is
shown to pay $500 a year, out of
which he pays his deputy and two
clerks
The committee recommends a liberal
scaling of the salaries of the commits
sioner of labor and the dairy commits
Sioner, the secretary of the board Of
correction and charities and some 9th
er minor officials. The report, being
only partial one, Mr. jacobson said
he only desired to have it presented as
matter of form and in order that
members might consider it in connec-
tloh with the matter of appropriations
Tor the various departments.
THEY LAUGH TOO SOON
The parties affected by the reduc-
lions recommended have been COM
PORTING themselves with the reflection
that no new bill can be introduced
without the sanction of the governor
and that Gov. C1ough will not request
the introduction of any bill which Sc
riously affects the interests of his an
polnteeS, but Mr.. Jacobson smiles
grimly and declares that there is
ample opportunity to do all the re-
CURED pruning in the form of amend
ments to bills already introduced
1t is shrewdly suspected that he and
Mr. Staples will make a precipitate
descent ON the state auditors office.
and effect perpendicular reduction
in the appropriation proposed for that
office. Mr.. Dunn has taken no pains
to conceal his hostility to the two ru-
raj leaders, and it is to be expected
that there will be red-hot conrict
when the highly-tempered weapons of
Dunn and Jacobson are crossed for
the final set-to.
Mr.. Staples will probably avail him
self of the opportunity to lariat the
surveyors general of logs and lumber,
though the effort in this direction will
be attended with considerable more
difficulty, as the surveyors general do
not operate upon the proceeds of any
appropriation, but collect their fees
from lumbermen for scaling CONNER
ciaI logs.
There is no indication of night ses-
sions just yet, and Speaker Van SAINT
vigorously opposes them, holding with
his former experience that it is under
the lax rules of the night sessions that
vicious legislation is enacted. The
house is getting well up with it's work,
and by close application can easily
finish it's work, the speaker thinks,
without holding night sessions.
