| Mr. Nelson spoke for the bill briefly,

| Mr.. Scofield followed about the same

what It's author hoped for.

HEAP BIG CHIN-CHIN.
A great deal of talk was INDUCED in
over H. F. $50, relating to game and
fish protection. On the bill being re-
ported, Mr.. Robbins offered some
amendments that practically cut off
any and all compensation to the COM
missioners for actual or any other sort
Of expenses.
Mr.. Jacobson supported the amend
| ments, and incidentally he delivered
| sarcastic roast on a now deposed mem
her of the commission, who, he as
serted, had drawn from the state treas
ury amounts of money that could not
DO accounted for on any reasonable
ground.
j. D. Jones said he would not con-
slider It fair or q reasonable prop
osition to say that good men could be
got to serve on a commission unless
their actual expenses are to be- allowed.
II overcharges have been made In tho
past by certain persons, the way TO
reach them is not by stripping future
commissions of necessary power.
Mr.. Ferris said he had been mem
Der of the commission for four years,
and had never yet put in bill Of eX-
pense, In any shape or form. This
statement was Endorsed by Mr.. Jacob
son, who said he had examined the
vouchers of the commission, and found
the facts to be as stated by Mr.. Ferris.
Mr.. Warner offered an amendment
limiting to $500 the expense to be in
Cured by the commission in any one
year. This was adopted, as were 9TH
ers providing that no money shall be
allowed for Office rent; that the COM
missioners shall keep their office in the
capitol (where there is no room. as
Speaker Van SAINT and Mr.. Ferris
pointed ouD; that choice Of an eXecu-
tive agent shall be limited to the mem
bers of the commission, and that the
terms Of all members of the commits
sion expire 1t the same time This lat
ter amendment was popular and many
members indorsed it.
1t was at this point, with a great
many amendments pending, that the
motion TO Fecommit was put and car
ried. Tire committee then rose and it's
recommendations were adopted, except
as to execution of Mr.. Jacobson's local
option bill, which was laid on the table
for further action.

Mr.. Littleton's bill to provide for a re-
vision of the general statutes and ap-
propriating $4,000 to cover the expense
thereof
Mr.. Littleton explained the bill, on
request of Mr.. jacobson, and the latter
then expressed himself as opposed TO
, 1t. for the reason that there would be
foo q 10
matter of expense.
Mr.. Underleak spoke for the bill, and
said 1t would be more for the benefit
of laymen than lawyers. He believed
the income from sale of the books
would more than cover the cost of re-
vision.
Mr.. Sander thought the expense
might be excessive, but the statutes
most assuredly should be revised.
Mr.. Feig expressed himself in the
same strain, as did Mr. Meilicke
Mr.. Littleton said the object of the
bill was to allow the state of Mime
sofa to own the statutes and thus
break monopoly held by publish
ing firm
