When the bill for the reduction of a
rate of interest and the extension of
time for payment of unpaid principals
on state lands was taken up on the cal
endar action was deferred at the request
of several members. The bill, if passed,
will reduce the states income from that

repeal the law relating to the preserva-
ton of forests and the prevention of

ent department, of which General G. c..
Andrews is the head, is a luxury the
state cannot affort.

willful wrong done any employe by an
other eInploye. The right to contract
away liability is also restricted.

OPPOSITION IS STRONG
Bill Reducing Interest on State
Lands Given a Setback
in the House.
OMAHA APPROPRIATION GOES
Expenses of Mime sofas Ex-
hibit There Will Be Paid
by the State.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 23.-The Peterson bill
land contracts was before the house for
third reading and final passage but met
with such strong opposition that action
was postponed and the bill made a
special order for Wednesday forenoon.
The main objection to the measure is
the immense loss to the school fund OF
the state, estimated by the opposition
at $62, 900 year. The average age of
the contracts are such that a total loss
of 81 ,000, 900 in interest on existing con-
tracts would follow the passage of this
bill.
The Exhibit at Omaha.
In committee of the whole the only
bill which occasioned any considerable
debate was II. f. 70, appropriating 1884,.
sou to defray the expenses of the Min.
nesota exhibit at Omaha. A favorable
recommendation was finally secured
but only after there was developed an
unexpected degree of opposition. The
argument of the opponents of the meas
ure was that the legislature of two
years ago refused to appropriate for the
purpose and it would be bad precedent
to appropriate now. A large number OF
amendments were suggested. but each
in turn was voted down. Other bills
favorably reported were:
Recommended to Pass.
H. F. 1, Grass Requiring foreign
corporation, on appeal of an action to
the district court, to furnish a bond
sufficient to cover costs.
HI. F. IA, Dunn-To legalize and val
idate deeds and other instruments exc
cuted without scroll or device opposite
the name of the grantor.
II. F. %, Ferris-To enable cities Of
less than 900 inhabitants to issue GER
tifcates Of Indebtedness in certain cases.
HI. F. 80, Dunn-To legalize the ex-
ecution and record of certain instru-
ments authorizing atturn~ % foreclose
mortgages by ADVERTISEMENT.
H. F. 108, to prohibit the issue or &C
ceptance of passes, was indefinitely
postponed.
Provisions of New Bills.
Four bills were introduced in the
house. One of them was the Plowman
measure for the taxation of mortgages,
in revised form. Mr.. Wheaton of Hen
nepin brought in a measure doubling
the present value of human life, accord
ing to the theory of the law. By the
statute now in effect $4,000 is the limit
recoverable on tort action in case of
death. H. F. 1877, by Mr.. Argetsinger,
is intended to regulate private banking,
and extend the control of the superin-
tendent Of banks and banking over these
private Institutions
H. F. 90, to determine the right of
tenant and landlord in certain cases,
was passed.
