the, resident fsthe senate was again
IN his chair, NJ some Of these same
friendly senators, who had been I'd.
vlsed Of the nature Of the house resolu-
ton and favored the proposed action,
pressed to adoption q motion to concur
In the house resolu tion, and the senate
immediately, thereafter resumed its
routine work b in committee Of the
whole. And this was why the after.

The Douglas road bill, whose com.
mon sense provisions for making good
-oads instead Of sinking money in scat.
tered mud holes throughout the state,
has been heret ofore described at some
length, was introduced in duplicate
last week in the senate by Senator

etate Equalization Board.
~ A bill that was introduced, by re-.
quest of the governor, by Judge Hicks
day or two ago promises an enter.
tanning contest before it is disposed Of
finally. 1t is proposition to change
the composition of the state board Of
equalization to allow three members
from each congressional district in.
stead Of one from each judicial district
as at present. The immediate result
would be to give Hennepin county two
instead of one member of the board and
to- reduce the membership in
those congressional, districts that
have q: several judicial districts.
The Sixth congressional district, with
i've ~> judicial 4 districts, would lose
three members and other sections
OF the state would be affected SINH
larly. That some change is advisable
seems to be generally agreed, but there
is lack Of agreement as to the best way
to accomplish the desired end. The
idea is to give the richer and more
populous centers greater representa-
ton on the board, and another plan
that has been suggested is to allow
member of the state board of equaliza-
ton for each district judge. ....
Hsnnspia May Finish Her Court House.
And 1T last Hennepin county seems
likely to be able to complete it's magni-
fcent court house, that great pile of
masonry whose cost has SO far exceeded
the first estimates, and in whose build
ing so many years have already been
consumed. The senate has passed,
under suspension of the rules, bill
allowing an annual tax of .one-h half q
mill for this purpose for eight years,
aggregating half a million dollars,
which is believed to be enough to com-
plete the gigantic structure.
Senator Theden's department store
crusade ran up against the scoultry
store and the collision was disastrous
to the department. store license bill, in
whose behalf This crusade was led. An
attempt was made BY the country SEN
ators TO limit the bills provisions to
cities Of over 1900, but the bill could
not 60 through without such exception
and was postponed by vote Of 70 to
~. This vote shows clear majority
Of the senate against the bill, 80 that it
will probably not again be heard from,
ut least for this session. 49,. -
