Eavors "a scrip.

The f~usiOnists i'm the house caucused
Monday night on the state script bill,
which was introduced early in the ses-
sion by Representative Sodcrman OF
Phelps county. The bill provides for
the issue of state warrants which shall
bs receivable for taxes. \ substitute
was reported to the house and placed
on general file. eliminating some of
what were considered the most objcc-
tionable features. In the aucus very
little objection to the measure devel-
oped. The bill as originally drawn
provided for the issuance of non-inter-
est bearing warrants Of denominations
from 81 to SO. There were numerous
objections to this provision, and as re-
viscd the bill provides for the issuance
of warrants that bear . per cent inter
est in denominations from 81 to $40.
These are To be receivable for state
and county taxes. 1t is claimed that
the issue of such paper will stop the
shaving of warrants.
Each receiver of u state and county
warrant, when the same is issued, will
be given his choice between the kind
issued at present. bearing . per cent,
or the kind provided for in the bill
with . per cnt interest.
The fact that the latter will he re-
ceivablc for taxes. the projectors claim,
will keep them at par and thus prevent
the shaving of other warrants, every
body being free to choose between the

of the privileges of the act, so that
they may become repositories for state
or other public funds.
The matter of taking speedy action
on the trans Mississippi exposition APP
preparation bill was brought mp in the
senate by Senator Murphy of Gage who
called up his resolution. which was
offered the day before and laid over by
objection of a ~fusionist.
Several members of the majority OBJ
jected To the passage of the bill be-
cause IL contained criticism OF the
house. These features were elimi-
mated. and a motion made to refer to
committee on labor. Senator Murphy
spoke in behalf of his resolution. Sen
ator Talbot said the senate could criti-
else any one or any body. Senator
Dundas asked IL the senator from Lam
caster wasn't talking ''arnica." Sen
ator Talbot replied that truths are
sometimes worse than anarchy. The
resolution was referred.
In committee of the whole h SEN
ate recommended joint resolution,
authorizing the governor to invite

Monday, February X,

In the senate yesterday afternoon
Senator Lee of Boyd county presented
a concurrent resolution authorizing
Land Commissioner Wolfe to select
and accept on behalf OF the state odd
numbered sections i'm the Fort Randall
military reservation as land To indcm-
Nifty the state for school lands which
should have accrued to the state. For
merly the land commissioner made
such selections without authority from
the legislature. Deputy Attorney
General Ed T.. Smith held that the old
way was not a safe plan to follow, so
Senator Lee introduced the resolution.
From thirty to forty section are due to
the state.
Bills on third reading were reached.
and II. II. $50. appropriating $40, 900 to
pay incidental expenses of the lcgisla-
ture, was passed.
Senator Johnson's committee bill i'm
posing a tax on state banks to insure
depositors was read, but debate on the
bin clearly showed that it needed
amending. and it was recommittcd to
committee of the whole.
Senator Canaday reported :. L. 40,
introduced by Senator Caldwell by re-
quest, providing for the purchase and
display Of United States flags over
school houses, with the recommended
ton that it be indefinitely postponed.
Many of the senators opposed the bill
on the ground that IA too free display
of the flag would breed disrespect for
the national colors and the use made
of it in the recent campaign was mean
ingly referred to. On the other hand,
the senator's favoring the bill argued
that the display of the flag would tend
to kindle in the breasts of the growing
youth the fires of patriotism, and i'm
press In their minds a conviction Of the
greatness of the nation whose emblem
it is.
After an extended debate the bill
was killed by the following vote to re-
consider the report to indefinitely post
nnnn.

crossed for third reading.
