TIE DILL -WOulQ- IN a great measure
shear the bill of it's offensiveness, but
no one seemed to be sure of even
this much, and the general verdict
was that the only safe way was to
defeat the whole bill, though there is
possibility that something may be
agreed upon to cut out the omnibus
character of the authority vested in
future legislatures, and make it act
ually tax the Pullman company, in
which case there will be a rapid and
radical change of front on the part
of those interested, and the present
opponents of the bill will be urging
it's passage, while those who are now
its friends will be seeking it's death
Having no bills of it's own on the
calendar, the house yesterday took
up some senate measures and gave
its official sanction to an even two
dozen bills originating in the upper
house.
NO MORE FORTY TO ONE SHOTS.
Many of the bills acted upon were
warmly debated, among the number
being the anti-pool bill. This bill had
prohibited pool selling on any sport
ing event at any place in the state,
and the house judiciary committee
had succeeded by some mysterious
process in getting it onto the calendar
with an amendment under which pool
selling would be prohibited only at
/. the state fair grounds.
Messrs. Dahl and Jacobson strenu-
ously objected to this form of
slaughter declaring that it was sim
ply scheme to kill the bill, knowing
that it would never get through at
this late date if amended and sent
back to the senate. Mr.. Jones, J. D.,
made a strong fight for the amend
ment, claiming that the state fair
ground was the only place where the
evil was practiced to any great ex-
tent, but it was a losing fight, Mr.
/acobson's motion to strike out the
amendment being adopted by a ire
mendous majority, and the bill passed
with plenty of votes to spare.
The Ramsey county and city of ST.
Paul salary bills were passed without
opposition, Mr.. Gerlach explaining on
behalf of, the Democrats, that he
voted for the bills only on the theory
that half a loaf was better than no
bread They were not what the peo-
pie demanded. The people desired
these salaries to be cut down at once,
whereas the bill only provided for the
reduction at the expiration of the
terms of the present incumbents.
