know the reasons for Mr.. Goodel1s
motion. Mr.. Frink wanted the bill
read. Mr.. Goodell explained that the
bill had been reported without recon-
mendation and thought it had been
treated rather summarily. Mr.. Nc
Grath made a vigorous speech against
the motion which he said was cowardly
and i'll inspired The original bills, he
said were a ruse to GUST the Marquette
statue from statuary hall and he said
ire names and fame of Fairchild and
RuSk were too honorable to justify
anyone making a bulwark of them for
such cowardly purposes and he trusted
that the honest members of the assem-
bly, would vote the motion into perdi
ton.

SENATE.
The governor is keeping UP his rec
ord OF vetoes. Monday evening he
sent back to the senate bill No. 6Ss. to
exempt from taxation lands possessed
and used by cities and villages as pub
lie parks or grounds. The governors
reasons for Withholding his approval
from the measure are that he believes
1t 'contemplates the impairment of
contract obligations, in contrvention
of the provisions of both the federal
and state institutions; and it certainly
proposes the impairment of vested and
property rights acquired in the legal
purchase of tax certificates by making
its effect reach back to the daie OF the
sale of the cert ficate. Measures of
this kind are likely to subject the state
to the imputation of bad faith" On
motion of Senator Austin the bill and
its veto were laid over until today.
joint resolution submitted by Sen
ator McGillivray was adopted allowing
Senator Thayer to introduce a bill for
the prevention of San Jose scale and
other insects injurious to plants A
bill covering the same matter was
killed last week.
