q reaction apparently having followed
the excitement over the bounty veto
fight. Several committees were away a
good part Of The week visiting state In
stitntions ;lnit those. members who re-
| mained at work here were constrained
by courtesy to avoid final action on
measures in which any Of the absentees
were directly interested. Motwivh-
standing this considerable business was
transacted ana When adjournment was
+ake1l for the week on Friday tho house
was nearly M with it's work and the
senate seemed to be within easy reaca
OF that desirable condition.
In accordance with their promise
made earlier in the session the Republic
can legislators have recently introduced
several amendments to the sns;.l. bounty
law. tits to be expected that the korues
OF con-' fusion will be male to believe
that this is the result Of Governor
Lind's lannon's veto message. bnt these
measures were under way before that
document accomplished the defeat of
the pig ion bounty bill and at the same
time brought division into the COVER
nor's triple-cca,ed party. The general
purpose Of these bills is to limit the
amount or time Of paying the bounty.
Two bills fxlng it at tlas small dgEre OF
$4,000 per year. but one bill adds q
provision that the boun'y must be
shared with the farmer WHO raised the
beets, while yet another bill gives a
straight bounty Of 81 per toa ior lile
1nan raising the sug.r bests.
Probably the most important bill
passed during tho week was that OF
Senator Miller, providing that in ln APP
peal TO the d.stricL court from findings
Of the sJate railroad aud warehouse
commission or IN an application by the
commission to, enforce its orders the APP
peal or application must he based Oh
tie record made tbaforv the commission.
The purpose OF the measure; is TO pre-
vent the revival QS.cases in the district
Eourr and TO giyes $tprca and finality TO:
the findings OF the commission A sim
liar bill, Introduced by Representative
jacobson. has already passed tlie house
and is in the hands Of senate com1nir-
tee. SO that both houses, ny formal vote,
favor the proposition. Soule delay is
likely, as each will tor time stand out
for it own bill. even though they are
said to be almost Identical
* II n
Senator john H. Smith, Of Becker
county, has introduced q Gill providing
that the state university board OF re-
gents shall admit TO the university free
Of all charges. all stuGen1s VITO have
been engaged in tie War with Spain as
volunteers. This free admission is TO
extend to graduation Of TIC soliler stu
Gents and is intended as y recognition
by the state Of the prompt aud wiling,
service Of the volunteers.
One interesting feature of the week
was the cal OH Friday OH both houses OF
large Delegations Of Grand army yerer-
ans, who were received with oil honor
and treated with great consideration
even when they ventured some pretty
sharp criticism Of past Legislative action
in rcterence2tO the soldiers home. The
Old soldiers asked the reinstatement Of
the animal appropriation OF $4,000 for
the home when had been abandoned on
recommendation OF the soldiers home
board and We're very plain in expressing
their desires. However, q little later in
tine day, learning the reason Tor drop
ping the appropriation the veterans
We're brave AID gallant enough to admit
the mistake IN their criticism and :.
delegation was sent to the legislature TO
apo.oyize for any ching that might have
spunued in any way narsn. They still
wanted the appropriation renewed, be-
ieylng there WIS now need for it. but
they had no criticism for the legislators
VINO had acrea according TO rap advice
OF those in a positton to speak TOR the
old soldiers tWo years ago, but main
tanned chat circumstances had SO
changed 40 to make proper this appro-
priation now. The Legislators who mad
felt 1.-THE criticism were quick to appre-
.sate the prompt apology.
The Wisconsin law to license resident
and nonresident sportsnen ssenled 70
Senator Royerud 9 fair measure aud he
has introduced IL % q bill FOR 8 Mime
sofa law. The bill is approved by the
state game and fish commission. 1t re-
quires non,residents to pay license fee
Of $25 before hunting or fishing il the
state, while the fee for residents u liked
y 81 for the same privilege.
Probably Senator Everett's bill on be-
half Of soldiers is as radical as any could
desire. It provides that Minnesota SOLE
diers who engaged in the War with
Bpain shall BE- exempt From any aud all
gamishment proceeding, which is about
as sweeping q protective measure - i
would be possible to enact. Perhaps
