Senator Flowerree has our thanks
for a copy of the bounty bill pre-
sented by him In the state senate.
This bill was passed by the senate,
but it was afterwards found that
the constitution prohibited any bill
from originating in the senate to
raise revenue, so the bill was given
to Mr.. Hedges to introduce in the
house, which vas introduced and
only n amendment attached, and
a few changes made which do not
effect the bill. The amendment
was that surplus money in the
bounty fund at the end of the fiscal
year was to go to pay up back
bounties which now exist. Mr..
Flowerree thinks that all outstand-
ing debts car be paid within four
years, and this bill will raise about
$45, 900 a year and not burden the
state with an appropriation to pay
off back bounties. The bill has
passed the house and will reach
the senate in a day or so, and will
probably pass without a dissenting
vote.
There is now due the ACANTHA
between three and four hundred
dollars from subscribers who re.
ceive their mail at the Dupuyel
post office. From those who re
ceive their mail at other points ii
the county the total is twice as
large. The average newspaper
mar would sooner have the patron
age of one man who pays his bill;
than of. the dozen who do not. |
