The bill was then passed-57 to Sen
ator Stockwell being the only opponent.
MR.. MCGOWAN EXPLAINED.
During the order of motions and reso-
lutions several senators picked choice
measures from the general orders and had
them placed on the calendar by suspen-
sion Of the rules. When this was done
Senator MCGOWAN Dem.), Of Minneapolis,
who was absent during the vote on the
gross earnings bill. rose to question Of
privilege. He read from a report Of Sen
ator Snyder's speech, and said that he
had not agreed to present the bill Tues
day. He insisted that there had been an
agreement between himself and Senator
Snyder that the bill should not be taken
up until there was a possible chance Of
passing 1t. Senator Snyder had come to
him with a statement that he could get
one vote for the bill on condition that he,
Senator Snyder, was allowed to make the
motion to, take the bill from the table.
Mr.. MCGOWAN said he had replied that
he understood that some politics had been
injected into the matter. and that. mas
much as he had made the motion which
placed the bill on the table. he and the
party he represented should have what
ever credit might attach to the motion
to take the bill from the calendar.
Senator Snyder. in reply, said that at
secret conference, last Friday, it was
agreed that the bill should be forced to
vote. as the session was coming to a
close and the time was short and not
that they should wait until they were
sure they could pass the bill. In view Of
the fact that he had been working in
company with Senator MCGOWAN for the
passage of this bill. he believed he was
acting within his rights in demanding
that the senator be present yesterday. and
in insisting upon diligent search being
made for him. It was highly important
that he should be present, and he was not
only absent, but had left no information
as to his whereabouts. ~is
The special order closed the colloquy.
but Senator MCGOWAN declares that he
will move to take the bill from the table
the next time the senate reaches Its
twelfth order of business.

the Legislature to-day when the Atkinson
bill, providing for levying OF taxes upon the
property of railroads, express. telegraph and
telephone companies. was passed. The vote
was - TO %. all the members voting except
five. The Atkinson bill and a substitute
therefor submitted by a special committee,
which differed from the original in some not
very important particulars. had both been
on the table. Motions were made TO take
up both bills. After n warm debate the sub
stitute was left upon the table by "a vote
of 81 TO 63, all the affirmative votes being
cast by Republicans, Speaker Adams among
them. The Atkinson bill was then taken
up by a vote of 20 to - and passed under
suspension OF the rules and a call of the
House, WHICH caused the doors TO be locked.
n Dill was given immediate effect. Its
fate In the Senate is problematic.
The Atkinson bill provides for assessment
OF railway, express and telegraph property
by a state board of assessors. which shall
have access TO all accounts and statements
or the corporations interested. the COM
panies to be assessed at the average rate
of state. county and municipal taxes
throughout the State. The companies are

Court prior to action on the bill by the Sem
ate.
