ton. 10 Taken.
The feature Of the house session was
the discussion Of tho bill providing for
the state publication of free text books.
The bill met with considerable oppose
ton and after much debate was referred
to the committee on education for
amendment. During the discussion Mr..
Staples Of Dakota county made the
statement that large number Of edu-
Gators Of the state were drawing good
salaries from the agents Of the text book
companies, and these were the people
who were crying down the passage Of q
measure Of this kind. The $25, 900
named in the bill would be q club to
hold over the heads of the book concerns.
The bill providing that all executions
under tho death penalty in the state
take place at Saltwater was killed in
committee Of the whole.
Membsrs in . Jocular Mood.
Much Of the morning session Of the
house was spent "playing horse" with
tho Fosnes bill, intended to aid asses.
sors to reach taxable property. It pro.
vides that where there has been q fail
ure to conform to the statutes in listing
property that no action for the enforce.
ment or collection Of anv note. account.
bond, mortgage, judgment, shares OF
stock or other instrument for the pay.
ment Of money, shall be maintained.
An amendment proposed by Mr.. Morris
added horses, cows, sheep, swine and
agricultural machinery to the classes Of
property indicated. Although the
amendment was intended as piece Of
pleasantly it led to an exchange of per.
sonalities and q waste of an hours time.
The bill was finally referred back to its
author, but viii retain it's place on gen.
eral orders. 49, ~. ., =.
Iivs stook Bill Passes.
The consideration Of the mornings
calendar was not without incident. The
Elwell bill, appropriating Il, Zoo for the
dissemination Of information relative to
stockbreeding, was made the target for
numerous protests. No less than IL
members spoke upon the. measure, the
great majority of them opposing it. 4. It
was represented that Minnesota today
challenged the world in the excellence
of her stock. and that the appropriation
could have no practical purpose. Thirty.
eight. members voted against it, but it
managed to get the necessary majority
and was passed. Other measures passed
were: I
II. F. 840-To designate the plan Of
life and casualty insurance companies.
II. F. 112-To prohibit the practice Of
blacklisting and prescribing punish
ment therefor. "'''"
