LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

On Thursday the Senate passed the anti-paralleling trolley roads bill. It re- peals Section g. of the street railway law and provides that trolley roads must not parallel each other or steam roads until the question of public necessity has been passed upon by the courts.
 On Thursday there was lively pass age in the House between Judge Rora- back and MT Wortman of Bethel Judge Roraback called attention of the House to the statement in the previous days "Courant" that MT Wortman, who had been appointed on the con- ference committee on the good roads matter, had told member that he was not in the ''vote of the House" except on the final vote and then simply for the purpose of reconsideration or going on a conference committee. He said this was an important matter and he thought the House was entitled to an explanation from MT Wortman. Mir Wortman admitted that he had voted against the amendments but said he had voted with the House on the final vote. He claimed that the House would have to agree to some compromise. Finally the Speaker poured oil on the troubled waters, as he said, by suggesting that the House need not accepted the con- ference committees report if not satis- factory. The incident vas quite an ex, citing one and Mir Wortman was getting rather personal toward Judge Rora- back. The Senate insists on three headed commission and the House is nearly solid for 8 single headed com mission.
 After nearly an hours debate on Friday the House concurred in reject ing the bill for commission to investi- gate and report on probate districts and judges. The judiciary committee said it reported the bill simply that the con- ditions in these districts might be learn ed. MT Frisbie and others held that our probate courts now are better than those in other states and this action was viewed with suspicion, particularly in rural districts.
 The committee on appropriations re- ported favorably on the bill making an appropriation of $8,OOO for the Lake vile School for Imbeciles.
 The House concurred in rejecting the state tax bill after it had been stated that it was no longer necessary in veiw of recent legislation.
