ANTI-Jo1NT BILL
Gives Additional Powers to Justices
of the Peace.

If the bill which has been introduced
into the house by Representative Rich
ardsOn to aid in the inforcement of the
prohibitory law, passes, it will greatly
assist county attorneys to suppress
joints in case they wish to do so.
The bill provides that whenever a
county attorney suspects a person has
knowledge of the violation of the law
he may call the person before a Justice
OF the peace and compel him to answer
any and all question he may put to him.
The law is similar to the one which
was declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court, except that gave the
county attorney the right to make per-
sons testify before himself instead of
before a justice of the peace. 1t was on
that ground that the law was knocked
out, as the law gave judicial powers to
an executive officer

VOTE FOR THE STAMPS.
Republican House Caucus Decides
That SO Worth is About Right.

The Republicans of the house spent
nearly an hour in caucus deciding
whether they would appropriate $40 per
member for postage. Representative
Burkholder of Marion proposed a reso-
luton to that effect.
Mr. Harris of Lyon thought that the
matter was not a proper subject for
caucus action, but if it carried he want
ed the $40 in cash because that amount
of stamps would be too bulky to care
for.
Mr. Wise of Reno moved that the ap-
preparation be cut down to $5 per mem
Der, and this precipitated the squabble
Some of the members said So wouldn't
begin to cover their postage bill, while
others contended that the people ex-
pected economy from them, and would
not countenance so much money spent
for stamps, when it is not needed. At
ter a lengthy discussion the original
resolution was passed.
