Not satisfied with the bill increasing
f the taxes on the gross earnings of rail-
roads, the House passed, without dis

St. Paul, Feb. 11-Eighteen bills passed
and sixteen introduced was the in
dustrious record of the senate yesterday.
While 1t Is true none, of the bills were
of startling Importance to the world at
large they help fill up the statute books
ana the members of the legislature are
paid salaries for making books of laws.
One of the bills passed provides for the
reimbursement of counties when they
have been buncoed into paying for the
care of insane people belonging to some
other county.
Another makes the Jurors fees the
same in justice court as in district court.
II time is what is paid for there never
was any reason for different fee as it
takes just as much time for juror to
serve day in justice as it does to serve
day in district court. 3 ..
One of the bills introduced fs alleged
to be in the interest of the Younger hro-
theirs who are serving life sentence at
saltwater for the Mortified bank rob-
+hot
who has served over twenty years can be
paroled without being required to remain
In the state. This would enable the
Youngers to return to their old homes in
Missouri The parole law which re-
qufres a released convict to remain in the
state after parole is an old affair any
way. 1t is equivalent to saying you are a
bad man but we want you with us. An
other bill offered forbids attempts to
change county seats oftener than once
IN five years..
The house INDUCED in scrap over the
attempt to increase the value of human
life from $1,000 to $4,000, but the $50
men won. 1t came up in "a bill fixing the
liability of employees. AS the law stands
| the heirs of a dead man can only get
| $4,000 for his remains and the house
seemed to think that was the average
value. The much mooted question of
travelling libraries came to the front in
bill appropriating $1,000 for such a pur-
| pose. In Michigan and many other states
the peripatetic libraries are claimed to
be great success and valuable educa-
tional feature
Another bill offered is designed to pro-
tect farmers from Spectators at terminal
markets. The bill appropriating $40, 900
for roads in Itaska park was killed.
Both houses adjourned until Tuesday.
