| 1850 AAAoeAeutAoHe now ana In MS opinion
tnere were four more than there should
be- Every year these institutions wanted
more money, and 1t was time the legisla-
ture stopped at least starting others
Mr.. Yale said he had voted for q school
at Duluth four years ago, and the
agreement had been made that ii the
city purchased and gave to the state a
tract or land the state would erect q
school. The city had kept it's part of the
contract and the state
SHOULD KEEP ITS WORD.
Two years ago $1,000 had been appro-
prlated Tor the purpose, and he favored
the amount asked for. as 1t was but Just
ene-half what the delegation had asked
for.
Mr.. Laybourn (Rep.), of st. Louis. and
MI. Davis Qtep.), of st. Louis spoke in
favor of the appropriation on the ground
OF Justice and fairness. st. Louis county
paid about 100000 into the state school
fund, and in view of the contract made
by the act of 1885 1t was entitled to the
money to build the school, Forty odd
| pupils were now attending the normal
school at Superior owing to there being
| none at Duluth
Mr. Fosnes denied that there was any
contract between the state and the city
of Duluth under the act of 1895. The act
SAID there should be a school built at
Duluth, but 1t gave no time when this
|
could be made by every county in the
| state with just as much effect
Mr. N. .. Nelson (Rep.), of Lake, spoke
| IN favor of the appropriation. If the
legislature did not want the present nor
NAL schools they could be closed up and
the buildings used for insane hospitals.
| He did not believe the people of the state
wanted the schools closed He advised
| the members to have good common
] sense and vote down the amendment of
| Mr.. Fosnes.
NJ Plowman Pop), of Otter Tall. sug-
gested that all the institutions be placed
IN one county and then the people of the
state could build up around them The
| combination which would probably carry
the appropriation through had been form
| ed early in the session, but he would not
| vote for the people to be taxed for the
support of any more Of the schools He
| sent his children to the university at
Minneapolis although he lived seventy
| five miles from a normal school and II
was $50 miles to Minneapolis from his
home. He did this because 1t was
| cheaper than to send them to the normal
schooi The taxing of the people for
! local pride was getting played out.
MT. Grondahl Rep), of Goodhue, stated
that the bill passed in 1895 starting the
| Duiutn normal school was a job sprung
| by the smooth delegation from that ctty
The bill had been turned down in the
senate, and then the Duluth delegation
| sang the house members song that Just
to oblige them would not the bill be al
lowed to pass the house. It was not ex-
pected to get 1t through the senate. but
the house delegation simply wanted to
make themselves solid with their con-
stltuents. With this kind Of an areu-
ment the bill vas passed by the house
Then
FOLLOWED A JUNKET
10 the iron mines, and when the legis-
lature returned the matter was recon
sidered in the senate and the bill put
| through.
| Mr.. Sander (Rep.) of sibley. also on
posed the appropriation
Mr.. Larson -(Rep.), Of Redwood, moved
| the previous question, and there was
some discussion between the speaker and
Mr.. jacobson as to whether the adoption
Oh the previous question would prevent
o'her amendments to the bill, or whether
| 1t applied to the amendment of Mr.
| Fosnes to strike out
Mr.. Jacobson attempted to bulldoze the
| speaker. and said he wanted fair play.
| speaker Dare answered CURLY that he
would see that he received 1t.
There was a call of the house and then
roll call on the motion Of Mr.. Fosnes
| TO strike out the section carrying the
] appropriation from the BILL Owing to
the misunderstanding of those who OBJ
posed the appropriation number. Of
| them supposed they should vote mo"
! and they did only to discover after the
vote which was so to 81 had been an
nounced that the amendment to strike
| cut mad been defeated by one vote.
Mr. Jacobson had little surprise I'm
| store and secured the striking from the
oil! OF sections f1fty-five and flfty-six.
|. which carried 500 for each of the two
wears with which to pay the salary of
| judges of the district court.
| MT jacobson explained that in the an
preparation bill of two years ago the
| salaries of the judges had been made an
| annual appropriation, and it was not
necessary to have it In the bill this or
| future years.
Inc majority OF the members did not
appear to have. any idea as TO what the
play meant, but voted according to Mr.
| Jacobson's dictation
Mr. Laybourn moved that the bill as
amended be adopted but Mr.. Fosnes
raised the point that the section relating
TO the Duluth normal school had NOT
been adopted as yet
| 1here was another parliamentary ian
gle ana then a motion to adopt the sec
ton was carried after a call of the house
ana roll call by the close vote of 53
| to 80. ~
Mr. Fosnes sprung a motion to adjourn.
