NURSERIES IN BOTH.
Divorce Laws and San Jose Scale
Both Discussed.


Both Discussed.
The divorce laws and the San Jose
scale were the topics which engrossed
the house during the morning The
first matter was the last to be taken up
before the noon recess in the shape Of
a bill to make the habitual use of NOR
phine, cocaine and similar drugs to eX-
cess for the period of one year, cause
for divorce just as habitual drunken
ness for the same period is now such
ground. Representative Snyder intro
duced the bill. which was vigorously
opposed by Mr.. Jacobson, who claimed
that the existing divorce laws were too
lax. He insisted that the addition Of
an additional cause for divorce would
be legislation, not in the interest Of
good morals; expressed himself in favor
or repeating the divorce law passed two
years ago, rather than the extension Of
the grounds, and asked the author or
the bill where the tendency was to end
He added, humorously, that it would
soon include the use of tobaccos as a.
cause, which would be a good thing for
him, perhaps, as he smoked too much
Mr.. StOckWel argued in defense OF
the bill and said it was not the per-
sons to be divorced who alone should
be considered, it was their children, the
coming generation, that the legislature
Of the legislature to discourage the
birth of children who could not be well
born, but instead come into the world
under injurious circumstances and with
debasing tendencies.
Mr.. Scott spoke for the bill, saying
he considered 1t unjust and unfair to
compel the continuance of any partner
ship which tied an innocent man or
woman with one who is hopelessly ad-
dicted to the use of drugs
Mr.. Foss spoke against the bill The
great Hebrew lawyer, Moses, he said
1000 years ago, gave only one justifica-
ton for divorce and that all other
grounds came from Minneapolis.
Mr.. Dahl called attention to the dan
ger Of the passage of such laws be-
cause they were likely to be introduced
to cover some particular case, as the
act of two years ago, he believed, was
introduced and passed for the special
benefit of a certain wealthy citizen Of
Duluth who has since been divorced.
That the house was strongly opposed
to the bill was shown past any doubt
by the vote, which stood % for the bill
and Sc against it,

State Fair Grounds Must Wait Until
Another Season.


Judge Hicks occupied the speakers
chair when the calendar was taken
up. The first bill was H. F. TAP, sub
stitute for H. F. 301, by the appropria-
tons committee to set aside the sum
of $4,000 with which to put in a system
of. water works at the state fair
grounds The proposition calling for
the sum named contemplated the con-
nectiOn Of the fair grounds with the ST.
Paul water system. in order to supply
the grounds with water for fire protec,
ton and the watering of the grounds.
stock, etc. Mr.. Underleak opposed the
bill in spirit of economy. Mr. Feig
said the bill provided that the money
should be returned to the state as soon
as the st. Paul water works would
naturally be extended to the fair
grounds district. He did not expect this
would be carried out in good faith, al
though he intended to vote for the bill
Mr. Dahl. Of ,Hennepin, suggested
that he was opposed to the state pay
ing for the building Of the st. Paul
water system. The bin was lost, much
to the surprise of a great many MEM
bers, by vote of 43 alternatives and
45 negatives.

cia1 branches Of the government I'm an
unwiSe manner.
Senator Young thought the bill would
win high favor with the people. In
England parliament was supreme, but
the legislatures of this government
had only such powers as were granted
to them by the constitution. There
was always q question whether a law
would stand or not, and in arguments
on this contention occupied from one
to five years, oftentimes continuing I'M
til the benefit aimed to be derived from
the law had passed. and its purposes
were frustrated. He cited the Ander-
son railroad land taxation bill, which
the companies had refused to comply
with, and the case might be SO prolong-
ed in court that the railroads would
have time to dispose Of the lands so
to be taxed.
Senator Morgan also advocated the
bill, which. he said, was not expert
mental, but long tried and Of discover
ed merit. 1t was not a. mixing UP OF
two functions of the government. It
was purely matter Of public policy
to give the two branches the right Of
conference, rather than conflict.
Senator COllester thought the opinion
OF the supreme court must be given
upon very superficial consideration
Of the case, and it was, in his opinion,
as absurd as it would be to ask the
governor in advance If he would sign
any pending bill
The bill was finally recommended
to pass.
Senator Knatvold called up S. F. 40,
MS bill to prevent the local sale OF
liquor in local option cities, villages
or municipal townships.
Senator Cullkin said the bill was a
vicious one and should be opposed by
al friends of temperance legislation

the saloon element from violations. The

jacobson Turns the Tables on Johns

A tempest in teapot was occasioned
in the house during the morning by
the action of the house in transferring
the San Jose scale bill from the judi
ciary committee to the committee on
agriculture. This action was taken at
the instance of Mf.Stoekwell, and Hen
ry Johns, who, with Judge Hicks, con-
stitute the sub-judiciary committee. in
whose hands the bill was, let out
vigorous protest at the affront offered
his committee. There was a constitu-
tional involved in the bill. he explained,
and to take it away from his commit
tee during his absence was a personal
reflection. The bill had been in the
hands Of the sub committee but ten
days, and now reposed in the safe Of
the chief clerk. Mr.. Underieak, as a
member Of the constitutional commit
tee, opposed Mr. Johns position. and
Mr.. Dahl stood by the Ramsey coun.

would come to the support Of lot Of
