Some of the House Bills.

Among the bills introduced in the house
is one sent up by Representative Hill, of
Wtnona, amending the present law relating
to free library and reading rooms for the sole
purpose of allowing the Winona public Ii
brary to accept q $40. 1000 library building from
William H.. Laird, the prominent lumberman
OF that city. The sole condition upon which
the donor makes the gift is that the city
snail impose a library tax of one mill for ten
years and fve-tenths of a mill thereafter.
NOW that the time has expired when road
and bridge bills may be introduced at this
session Of the legislature, it is of interest to
note that nearly 120 bills have been sent in
from seventy of the eighty counties Of the
state asking for a sun of over $500 from the
internal Improvement fund, which has at this
time a paltry $751; 600 to draw from. 1t will be
seen very readily that some disappointments
must follow. OF the counties asking for road
and bridge money, the Itasca man, Repre-
sentative Gum, has been most energetic.
having put in bills asking for a sum equal
to the whole OF the fund.
The BARRIERS are congratulating themselves
on the favorable recommendation given their
bill, H. f, 81, introduced by Mr.. Johns, by
the committee on labor and labor agitation
to which the measure was sent. The amend
ments incorporated in the bill are not, SO tho
BARRIERS say, important, and merely change the
age when an applicant may present himself
for examination from twenty-one to nineteen,
and allow an apprentice to each two instead
Of three registered BARRIERS in a shop. The
members of the craft believe that their pet
measure will be acted upon favorably by the
house.

pleted that task and in O short time
a report from him will be forthcom-
ing. His investigation today would
seem in every way to warrant the at
titude aiken by MI. Snyder on the
floor Of the house and later by Presi-
dent NOrthrOp before the appropria-
ions committee, inasmuch as, while
Accountant Sprague'S books show, as
he stated before the committee named,
there was a balance to the good on
the university ledgers, it Is a fact that
there is a deficit, as stated by Mr..
Snyder, when he explained the tax
levy bill to the house. Representative
G. H. McGill, a member of the appro-
priations committee, has visited the
Minneapolis institution, and, after a
glance at the progress made by the
expert, has the following to say about
the matter:
1.-The expert, who has been examin-
ing the books Of the institution, is
about prepared to submit his report
Of the financial affairs Of the universe
ty for the past six months. 1t shows
ment made before the committee by
the accountant. Two years ago a de-
ficiency appropriation was made, which
permitted the university to start even
at that time. Since then they have
run behind about $40, 900 a year, so now
there is a deficit Of about $4,000 or
mora. The reason that their books
show a balance under these circum-
stances Is thai they have been antic.
ipating their revenues and using them
to pay up deficiencies. The deficiency
which exists. in fact, is thus wiped off
the books"

railroads, defining the duties Of the
railroad and warehouse commission
was introduced by Senator Cole.
1t Classics the railroads according to
their gross earnings and fixes the
schedules in proportion to the gross
earnings in each class. The provisions
are very elaborate and complicated,
but, as it is in operation in Iowa, It's
general workings are familiar to the
public. Glass A comprises roads the
gross earnings of which are over 81, 900
a mile; class B, between 49, 900. and
81, 900, and class C less than SO, 900.

FREIGHT RATE BILL.
Strong Opposition to It's Passage by
the Railroads.

The Douglas freight rate bill now
before a committee has brought out a.
strong lobby. It's presence is felt by
even the new members who are not
initiated into the characteristics Of the
institution. 1t Is the common report
that the railroad men and attorneys
would throttle the measure in COM
mittee if possible, but killed it must
be. There have been three meetings
of the grain and warehouse committee.
before which have appeared Mr.. Doug
las, the author of the and the
railroad attorneys. In the lobby are
a number of the members Of the differ
ent fraternal associations, including
station agents, conductors, brakemen.
etc., who r doing their utmost to
pose the passage Of the bill. It
would appear On the surface that the
presence of the employees Is the result
of some understanding from the DIFF
ferent comDanies.

COMMITTEES TOOK 1T EASY.
Railroads and Labor Bureau Investi-
gators Deferred Action.

Last night was the night set by the
railroad committee of the senate to
hear arguments for and against the
various bills affecting railroads which
have been introduced. On account.
however, Of the illness of Senator
Stockton, who Is chairman of the COM
mittee, the hearing was postponed
until Thursday evening.
There are a number of sweeping
measures to be considered by the COM
mlttee, some Of them extending the
powers of the commission. some of
them liking rates for the roads direct
ly, instead of leaving them to be fixed
by the commission, as at present. One,
SENATE RingdaPs bill, provides for
the abolition of the commission entire
ly' and still another provides that it
shall be made an elective board in
stead of an appointive one.
The committee on investigation Of
the labor bureau was also scheduled
to meet last evening, but on account
Of the action of the senate in deferring
action in the premises, decided not to
try and do anything for the present.
Another meeting will be called as soon
as h senate takes action.
There are thirty-one bills on general
orders in the senate today, and twenty
three are actually on the calendar for
discussion, so that the prospects for a
long day are excellent. At the head
of the list is the Wyman bill for adj
ditional help in Public Examiner Ken
yon's office, and next comes Senator
Ozmun's bill for the establishment Of
civil service examinations In cities.
The bill originally required all cities
to establish civil service boards. but
the committee On municipal corpora
lions has so men0e If that if will
apply only to those cities which accept
its provisions at the election next fol-
lowing the passage of the bill.
The Anderson anti-peddler bill from
the house. which aroused some dis
pute Saturday, is also on the tab.

Ject lesson to the the young man
who has his way to win in the
world. When quite a young man

IN the absence Of the others to
nave the work done. Cutting the
copy into two takes he asked his
1ellow-workman to set one take,
put the latter grunbled over the
loss OF his dinner, and he finished
the JOB himself. The broker while
waiting for the slips had been

Inc next day he sent for the young
