DUNN-DAN FEES.
Senate Finance COMMITTEE Cuts

The finance coranIittee of the senate

disposition among the senators to cut
the expense account to $500 on each
side. A member Of the committee re-
marked that the work involved no
taking of testimon, in fact nothing
but the looking UP of evidence and
making the argument on the constitu-
tional point involved. The lawyers in
the senate, who are presumably good
judges of the value of this work, nearly
all say privately that they think $500

ment Bill.
That Senate File 42S, the insurance
committees bill for the regulation Of
flexible payment life and casualty
companies, will pass the house of rep
resentatives as easily as slid through
the senate on yesterdays calendar, is
not at all apparent. 1t is claimed by

Of United Workmen, which has been
holding it's annual meeting here during
the last two or three days, and tine
Modern WOOdmen, who have grown
up more recently, but are a strong
order, numerically, at least.
There is a saving clause in the bill,
which provides that il shall not be
construed to apply to fraternal organ
izations, but this is of doubtful value,
the friends of these orders claim, in
view of the fact that in another section
this express provision is not only
overlooked, but other provisions are
tackled on which are evidently, in their
opinion, aimed at the exclusion Of
these organizations. Hints were made
last night that the bill, which was
Ostensibly drawn UP by the state in

product Of one of the most eminent
insurance LAWYERS in the Northwest, and
that it was in the direct interest of
the Oldline life companies. Mr..

Anti-Compact Bill.

Senator Sweningsen has secured a favorable
report from the senate insurance committee
on his anti-compact bill.
The bill requires that insurance agents or
brokers must be bona fde residents Of this
state, and to do business in city of over
20,O9O people must pay a license of S100 per
year and file a bond in the penal sum Of
$4,000. This authorizes him to do business in
any county in the state. If he Is to confne
mis- business to city of more than 5000 or
less than 10000 people the annual license fee
shall be $40 and the bond s., 900. For a town
Of less than 5000 people the license is $40
per year and the bond required only 81 600
1t is also provided that COMPANIES not author
lied 70 do business in this state must pay
the stata tax of 2 per cent on all business
placed with them by brokers. The brokers
are he'd responsible for the payment of this,
and are required to report as the agents of
the company placing the insurance.
The bill also prohibits either the companies
or agents from combining for the restriction
Of competition in business or to enforce any
boycott or rule of non-interference toward
any other agent or company or property owner
because Of any difference OF opinion with re-
gard to rates or ether action. Violation OF the
act is punishable by a fine CT 500 and for
feiture CT the ccmpany's or brokers' license.

SENATOR RINGDAHL's ROAST
Was Based on a Little 1Iisappre-
tension,

Adjutant George Lambert who is
interested in the militia bill, said last
night in reference to Senator Ring
daPs warm comment on the bill:
Senator Ringdahl's remarks on that
portion of the military code relating to
the 'unorganized' militia, although
made with the best intention, were con-
ceived under misrepresentation of the
effect of section Of the bill. The sec
ton referred to is as follows:
Section 2. All able-boded male persons
the ages of eighteen and forty-fve years, not
expressly exempted by law, shall constitute
and be designated as the militia, and be
liable to perform military duty whenever re-
Quired by the order or proclamation of the
governor pursuant 10 law.
Senator Ringdahl, in conversation
with me, expressed the fear that this
section would give the governor dis
cretionary power to call out the mil
ttia forces under any preteXt. and
might be a dangerous weapon in the
hands of subsequent executive.
ut is clear to me however, that The
very danger, which the senator points
out, is guarded against in this sec
ton.
1.-The bill provides who shall be Liable
TO militay duty whenever required by
the proclamation OF the governor, but
does not undertake to state when the
governor may issue that call That is
a matter for which thu constitution Of
the state provides, and the legislature
could not enlarge or curtail the con-
stitutional powers OF the governor.
''Section 4, article S, of the Constitu-
ton Of Minnesota provides as follows:

NEW SYSTEM OF HAULING,
B. 81 o. Likes It's Experiment With
Tonnage System.

The adoption Of the tonnage system
for freight trains on the Baltimore and
Ohio Southwestern has resulted i'll
quite saving in the cost of transport
tation. General superintendent Rawn
states that locomotives, under this
system are pulling from two to seven
more loaded cars per train than ever
before. A very simple but compre-
hensive set Of blanks has been furnish
ed the yard masters, and in making up
the trains each locomotive is given the
number Of tons which it has been
demonstrated by experience it is able
to haul. This system has also resulted
in fewer complaints of locomotives
being stalled with their trains on
grades.

which was made at the start was
found in FL. F. 80, by Mr.. Foss, calling
for the repeal Of chapter 302 Of the
General Laws Of 1895, providing for the
construction of public roads. When
the bill had been reported there de-
veloped some opposition to it, where
upon the author waxed hot and ex-
planned, with some vigor that the
present road law, which was passed at

sioners the right to construct roads
upon petition from people who might
altogether. escape the assessment, but
at the same time be benefited more
than the farmers, who gained nothing
from the roads constructed past their
farms. He argued that, with one or
two trif1ing exceptions, there were no
points in the law, as it stood, upon
which any appeal from the action of
the county commissioners could be
taken. When Messrs. Jacobson and
Staples had explained that the present
law was vicious in its intent and

pared to vote that way, and the roll
