hospital for the insane.
Passed as reported by committee.
MANDAN REFORM SCHOOL.
Senate bill No. rs: Repeating the appro-
priation for the Mandan Reform school.
The bill only received Is votes, and so did
not pass.
There was an interesting discussion on
this measure. Senator Parkin opposed it.
He said he desired to see the appropriation
already standing on the statute books, stay
there. Not that the money would be ex-
pended during the next two years, but the
measure would do no harm to stay there.
: SENATOR LAMOURE went into a dis
cussiOn of the question. He wanted to
know how it was that such men as Audi
tor Porter and Treasurer NOmland should
be parties to paying 1880 for 100 acres of
Ian in a county where, as members of the
state board OF equalization, they valued
Morton county land at about So cents an
acre.
DRUGGISTS PERMITS.
House bill No. as (Flemings'): Relating
to druggists permits.
SENATOR 'STROM opposed the bill.
SENATOR VALENTINE said the OBJ
ject of the bill was to obviate the trouble
of securing signatures to a petition every
year..
SENATOR STEVENS said that reading
the DILL reminded him of the aggressive
character of the liquor traffic. He believed
that the greatest leak in the prohibitory
law (outside the city of Bismarck) is the
druggists permit. He opposed the bill.
People who would not sign a permit might
still not desire to take their names off a
permit. This bill simply seeks to relieve
the druggist of the trouble of getting new
names once a year.
SENATOR BURKE said if a druggist
acts honestly and sells only under a per-
init, why should he be put to the trouble of
securing a new permit every year?, If he
action should be brought against him and
he should have his permit taken away.
SENATOR MCGlLLlVRAY said he was
a prOhibitionist now n he opposed the
measure because it makes it easy for drug
gists to sell liquor.
The bill passed.
House Bill No.2 8 (G%uinan's): Requiring
railroad companies to keep station agents
at places where the annual business
amounts to $4,000 in one year.
The railroad committee amended the bill
to $4,000, which amendment was adopted.
The bill passed.
STATE DEPOSITORY.
House Bill No. l (Wineman's): Provid-
ing for state repositories and regulating
the deposits of public moneys therein and
the interest thereon, and prescribing the
means thereof.
The judiciary committee recommended
that the emergency clause be stricken out
and in lieu thereof insert the words Janu-
ary l, 1897. The amendment was voted
down.
SENATOR LITTLE moved an amend
ment similar to the judiciary report. He
supported amendment by contending that
the state is in bad financial condition, and
it is the banks of this state that must fur
nish the money. To pass a bill of this sort
is a slap at the banks that are willing to
help the state.
SENATOR McGILLlvRAY, supported
the amendment, and Senator Sorley op-
posed it.
SENATOR KILLER said the republi-
cans had pledged themselves to such a bill
as this, and the populists were going to
hold the republicans to fulfill their obllga-
tiOns.
SENATOR STEVENS favored the bill
without amendments.
SENATOR LAMOURE claimed that two
years ago thep Opulists wanted the same
kind of an amendment as that called for
by the committee on judiciary. Then the
populists got the bill killed by a techni-
cality. Then it was their OK to be saved;
now it is an OK to be gored.
SENATOR GREGORY was surprised
that the populists should have so much
care for the republican party. The popu-
~ "A6o OSouL Ill CIlEll O"H CyCo
and they are trying to look out for the
mote in republican eyes.
SENATOR LlTTLE'S amendment was
lost.
SENATOR LAMOURE moved to amend
by inserting the woras, 'provided there is
at least 500 900 in the general fund of the
state treasury"
The amendment was lost by a vote of l6
to Is.
The amendment was then reconsidered,
and Senator Burke supported the amend
ment. He believed it was only fair to the
bankers and the treasurer that it should
prevail.
SENATOR WHITE opposed the amend
ment.
An effort to table the whole business
failed.
SENATOR PLAIN moved an amend
ment. which prevailed, making it $4,000 in
all funds.
The bill passed, 90 to 9.
