ROUTINE WORK IN HOUSE.
Representative Laybourn's Normal
School hill Is n Dead One.


School Bill Is a Dead One.
Representative Laybourn's bill. pro-
viding 80 mills tax annually for the
normal schools of the state is what
might be considered, in the pariance of
the street, a dead one" 1t was shelved
in the house yesterday and the general
belief is that the bill, when laid on the
table yesterday, was virtually killed.
Mr.. Laybourn made a strong defense
of his measure. He argued that the five
normals of the state had to be main
tanned, and no better method than this
means of raising an annual appropria-
ton of $4,000 had been devised. 1t
would not burden the taxpayers, he
thought and would be no more than the
schools are entitled to.
Mr.. jacobson, of Lac qui Parle, op-
posed the bill and said that while the
normal school directors might be good
in their way, they were nothing but
school teachers and knew nothing about
business methods. This remark brought
MI Laybourn to his feet in the de-
Tense of the members of the board, most
of whom have never been engaged as
school teachers in their lives and all
of whom are representative business
mon. Laybourn placed the members
on record on this bill by demanding the
roll call. The result was &c for tabling
the measure and 46 against
A bill of Mr.. Plowman's, giving the
owner of a piece of mortgaged land the
right to have the amount of his mort
gage deducted from the assessed valu-
alton of the property, was referred back
to the judiciary comm ttee. Another bill
rescued was that of G. Peterson al
lowing the Mississippi Valley Historical
association to erect a granite pyramid
on the Birch Coulie battle grounds in
Renville county and make inscriptions
on the monument such as may be de-
sired. The bill was passed under sus>
pension of the rules.
Mr.. Laybourn submitted his volum-
nous insurance bill yesterday which was
outlined in the G o b e Tuesday The
bill net with considerable favor and it
is thought, will be favorably acted on
by the committee.
The Laybourne bill providing for the
appointment of tax commission of five,
whose chief duty shall be to codify the
tax laws of the state. was recommended
to pass yesterday by the committee of
the whole.

No REST FOR VAN)|VER
SENATE LET'S LOOSE ANOTHER
RESOLUTION AGAINST ONE OF
ITS EMPLOYEES
MINORITY IS DISGUISED
Want the Republicans to Make Def
mite Charges Against Their
Clerk Or Else Let
Him Alone.

The distinguishing feature of yester-
days session in the senate was the in
PRODUCTION by Senator Miller of another
"Vandiver'' resolution. True to his word,
given yesterday, after the action of the
joint committee was made known, Mr..
Miller has renewed the fight, of which
Mr. Vandiver seems to have had the
best end so far.
Men prominent among the minority
members are rapidly becoming Disguised
with the whole proceeding. One of them
said yesterday
I'VE had no voice whatever in the Sc
lection of this clerk. 1 think among the
minority members he is distinctly persona
non grata. He certainly is to me. But
majority members went out of their way
to make a berth for him when it was
just as patent as it is today that he is
not needed. Now the majority seems to
be panic stricken and is trying to make
a scapegoat of Vandiver.'
Another senator, we'll known as no lover
of Vandiver, said: I'm going to vote
against the resolution when it Is put to-
morrow because 1 don't believe in doing
business this way. Either Vandiver had
scandalous connection with that pardon
case or he didn't. He should be obliged
10 face the music and prove himself in
pocent. No charge has been made. All
this talk about economy at this late day
is too thin.
81 for one don't see why the minority
members should assist the majority,
which did not consult them, out of a
! bad fix. They carried things high-handed
here, and if there's any disgrace in this
matter it has existed from the first j
don't see any change in Mr.. Vandiver.
If the senate goes on record in this mat
ter, along the lines at present used, it is
going to disgrace itself, which ever way
the matter turns out
Immediately upon the Introduction of
the resolution Senator Daugherty gave
notice of debate, and the matter will be
taken up again today
