t1OO. 900 a year and trusts and combine
lions are barred from receiving a share.
Morning Session Accomplished Little.
At the morning session Mr.. jacobson
provoked a long and tedious debate on
parliamentary practices by raising q
point that the journal was in error in
reference to the 8-minute session the
previous afternoon. He contended that
the house was still in committee OF the
whole when adjournment was taken,
and that, as no quorum was present,
therefore much of the journal was su-
perfluous. This led to q debate as to
whether the house was in session or
whether the committee of the whole
was still sitting. The house finally de-
clined to amend the records, despite
Mr.. Jacobson's arguments. -,
The house passed under suspension of
the rules the senate bill which gives
county boards of i. commissioners in
counties Of 100000 population exclusive
control of the county road and bridge
fund. The bill fixing the salaries of
county commissioners at $1,000 per an
mum in Hennepin county was passed.
The Snyder bill, which passed the SEN
ate, authorizing county commissioner
to levy taxes in certain cases, was
passed under suspension of the rules.

Argument was begun to-day in the

ground that it provides for a direct tax,
which is not apporuOned among the

quired 10y the Constitution; that even If
80 is not a direct tax. IL is unconstitu-
