churches have called loudly for this
county option measure, and the church
people of this state constitute rs per cent
and upwards of the population.
Senator HalvorsOn (ReD.), of Lac qui
Parle, and Senator Grindelsnd tRep.), Of
Marshall, favored the passage Of the BILL
Senator Halvorson said: 1T has been
claimed that the kill, if passed, would
in:ure the Republican party. If the party
help the state Of Minnesota" .-
Rev. F. B. Cowgirl pastor of the First
M b. church. favored the passage of the
till and stated that the Methodist confer
ence had passed resolutions, as had
conferences Of other denominations
favoring such measure
P. c. Schmidt, of Duluth. opposed the
bill on the ground that while 1t was
labeled county option 1t was In reality
county prohibition. From Maine west
prohibition had been a failure. Local
option in counties would result in saloon
drug stores and blind pigs. Iiural drug
stores sold more liquor than saloons
where there was no license. The present
laws, II enforced, were as strict as could
be wished by any one. 1t made no differ
ence what the laws were if they were
not enforced.
Col. Samuel Lowenstein, proprietor of
the lunch counter in the capitol, who had
hsteneo TO the discussion, cut in and
asked Mr.. Battey If he was not a repre-
sentative of the Anti-Saloon league
Mr.. Battey did not reply and Mr.. Low
enstefn, remarking that silence was an
answer, said the arg ument of Mr. Battev
as representing the Anti Saloon league
was inconsistent and hypocritical and
should have no weight with the commit
tee.
The bill will be disposed of by the COM
mittee at a meeting to be held Thursday

The senate committee on logs and lum-
Der met last evening at the state house
and heard arguments for and against the
Wilson bill, which proposes a reduction
of the fees of the surveyor generals of
logs.
e. s. Corser, the new surveyor general
for the Minneapolis district was present
and explained the bill from his stand
point, asserting that it would the fees of
the office $4,000 per year. He was igno-
rant, he said, of the actual amount which
the office would pay, but even If its
perquisites in the past had amounted to
$4,000, the bill would make such a. sweep
ing reduction in the receipts Of the Of
flee that 1t would scarcely pay a man for
his time
Capt. Huntington said that scaling logs
was more expensive now than it used to
be, as the general run Of the seasons cut
would be small timber. He hid not think
reduction should be made.
G. E. Sinclair, an assistant in the Still
water office, stated that the people of
Saltwater wanted the fee left Just where
it was.
Z. A. Smith, of Minneapolis, registered
a vigorous protest against the present
high price charged for scaling timber
under state supervision. He stated that
he was willing to give the surveyor gen
eral salary of perhaps $1,000 year, but
he thought $4,000 was too much money.
He said the governor and members Of
the supreme bench received but SIS, 900 per
year and he could see no valid reason
why any ordinary official like a surveyor
general should receive a larger salary.
j. b.. Nelson and r. H. Chute, both
spoke In favor Of the reduction of the fee
to 4 cents
The committee decided to take no act
ton until Friday, when final disposition
