HITS FARIBAULT PLAN.
Another measure in the same di-
rection made it's appearance in the
house during the morning, and Is now
before the committee on education. 1t
was introduced by Mr.. Soule, of Wash
ington county, and attacks the Fari-
bauit plan The text follows:
Section 1. 1t shall be unlawful for

ceive pay for teaching in any of the

ton.
FREEDOM OF TRAFFIC.
The debate on the Meilieke freedom
of traffic bill was also lively one. Mr..
Meilicke offered amendments which
would restore the bill to it's original
form-the judiciary committee having
expunged some of the more stringent
provisions.
Mr.. Robbins opposed the bill and the
principle which was behind it. He said
1T was a measure proposed by the
Populist party, which wanted to pre-
serve to It's members the greatest of
liberty of personal action, at the same
time denying that privilege to others.
He said the measure was un-Repub-
lican and invoked the assistance of the
Democrats to help defeat the amend
ments. He was satisfied with the bill
as it stood with the judiciary commit
tees amendments, and thought every
person had the right to charge what
ever he chose for his services.
Mr.. Meilicka made strong argument
for the BILL urging it as a measure for
the relief of the farmers from the OPP
preston Of the grain buyers and the
wheels within wheels of the Minneap-
oils chamber of commerce.
Mr.. Feig favored the amended bill
and opposed the Mei1icke amendments,
which, he believed, would make the
bill unconstitutional.
Mr.. Robbins defended the Minneap-
oils chamber of commerce, and said
sign their grain to the members of
that body, who, he declared, were hon.
orable and law-abiding citizens.
Mr.. Meilicke replied and advanced
a number of arguments in favor of
the passage of the BILL
Mr.. Jacobson favored the Meilicke
amendments, and said the claim that
the law would interfere with the per-
sonal rights and liberties of the dealers
was the milk in the cocoanut. They
did not care for the bill in it's present
shape, as they could still go ahead
and do as they had done.
Mr. Douglas offered an amendment
making the language of the bill more
definite, and Mr.. Feig offered a minor
amendment, both of which were
adopted The bill was then sent to the
calendar with the favorable recon-
mendation of the committee.
MINERAL LAND AGENTS.
Mr.. Warmers mineral land agent
bill was then recommended for pass
age, also Mr.. Anderson's defining what
constitutes a legal newspaper, and DIR.
Tiers proposed constitutional amend
ment providing for the establishment
of a court of pardons.
Mr.. Cant'S ten-hour labor bill was
recommended to pass after the pro-
vision for an increased rate of COM
pensation for over time had been
stricken out. Senator Stevens bill
regulating employment bureaus was
also favorably recommended.
During the morning session the jul
dietary committee reported seventy
five bills, of which twenty-eight were
recommended to pass without change,
nineteen were to pass as amended.
twenty-five We're indefinitely post
poned, three were referred to other
committees, one went on general or
ders without recommendation, and
substitutes were introduced for two.
OF the number twenty three were SEN
ate and fifty-two house bills. Fifteen
senate bills are to pass without amend
ment, five are amended and recon-
mended, one goes on general orders
without recommendation Senator
Stevens pool selling bilD, and two
were indefinitely postponed.
Several of the bills favorably re-
ported are important measures, but
it is a noticeable fact that the senate
anti-pool room bill was not one of
them. 1T was, however, sent to gen.
eral orders without recommended ton,
and will take it's chance with the
house.
The prison labor bills had been set
for hearing at p. m. yesterday, but,
as many of the members of the house
had gone to TayIor's Falls, it was de-
cided to postpone their consideration
until 10 a. m. today, when the Schur-
| meier and Jacobson bills will be taken
UP together. This afternoon the Sta
pies pine land bill is the special order
for o'clock, and it is not likely that
both of these important measures will
be disposed of during the day. To-
morrow the charter bills will be taken
| up-the Howard bill first, and after il
| has been disposed of, the Sheehan
| home rule bill.
