Senator Larson's BILL requiring reports
from private banks, Eeems to be having a
hard time from what he said yesterday. At
any rate, it is being bitterly attacked on the
ground that it is unconstitutional. Senator
Keller took advantage of 1t to score Examiner
Kenyon, who, he said dared not close up lame
banks because, perchance. there is the gov
ernor, and it may be pretty near election
time. so they did lot close the banks: What
was needed in the bank examiners office was
not good fellow" but an examiner who
would do his duty. But the state had no
more right to examine a private bank than
the purse Of any citizen. He moved to in
definitely postpone, and the motion carried.

measures, including the one introduced re-
Gently, providing for appropriation Of
5000 for field instruction in butter and
cheesemaking in Minnesota. The members
OF the committee liked the idea, but under
the present conditions felt the amount was
too large, and therefore cut it in two, and
the measure will go to the appropriations
committee with a favorable recommendation
from the committee on agriculture Mr.. Foss'
bill, providing for a farmers relief fund OF
$4,000. a sort of revolving fund, similar to
the seed fund, was started the same way by
the agricultural committee but came to grief

ern road, the case of that company, which
is before the railroad and warehouse commits
