SENATOR MILLER'S VICTORY
Which Provides for Appeals
From Orders of the Railroad and
Warehouse Commission to the
district Court on the Testimony
as Taken by the Com ission.

oratorial effort, the senate yesterday
passed one bill. When the calendar
vas reached Senator Miller Rep.),
Rock, asked call of the senate on his
bill Is. f. 24) to permit the submission
of evidence taken before the railroad

said there were grave legal objections
to the bill, and he wanted it referred to
The judiciary committee.
Senator Snyder (Rep), Hennepin,
said that not all the legal talent in the
senate was on that committee. The
bill ought to be passed now, if at all.
Senator McGovern Oem), Waseca.
and Senator Young Rep), Swift, said
that the bill would break down the
rules of evidence which had been es-
tablished by the experience of the ages.

to take testimony without remanding
the case To the commission
Senator Miller insisted that the ques-
ton to be adjudicated in the court
was simply whether or not the fndings

enable. This, he contended, could be
fully determined and only determined
on consideration of the same state of
facts presented to the commission.

license to non-residents of the state is
to be S25 and is to be issued by the
secretary of state and the money turn
ed into the state treasury. Residents
Of the state shall procure licenses for
81 from the clerk of the court in their
county, who shall keep the dollar for
issuing the license and making record
thereof. 1t is estimated that the bill
would reimburse the clerks of the
courts for all the donations" made by
them in not collecting their fees for
issuing second papers.
HELPS OUT SHERIFFS.
Senator Somerville Rep0, Brown, in
troduced a bill which gives sheriffs 81,
and ten cents mile for actual travel,
on each personal property tax cita-
ton which is returned unsatisfied,
after diligent search for property for
attachment. The recent litigation be-
tween Sheriff Wagner and Ramsey
county's auditor has shown that in the
more popuious sections Of the state this
bill would enrich sheriffs several
thousand dollars annually at only
Slight expense.
The senate adjourned until Tuesday
at 2:30
