Il IN THE SENATE.
There was an interesting bit of pro-
cedure in the senate when Senator Cox's
bill, fixing. the salaries and residences
of state officers, came up on third read
ing. This is the bill which the senate
appropriation committee reported back
with the salary provisions stricken out,
and nothing left but a clause providing
that state officers must live at the capital
or be deprived of their salary.
Senator Noble moved an amendment
to the bill, adding the word "official"
before the word residence, and making
the bill provide that the official residence
of state officers shall be at the capital
Several other amendments were pro-
posed, but on the final passage of the
bill it was lost-vote 10 to 10.
The house bill, reducing exemptions
in the state from $1,000 to $780, came up
on majority and minority report OF the
committee on judiciary. The minority
report was signed by Sharpe, Cox,
Noble and Hale and reported for the
indefinite postponement of the bill Mr.
Noble moved the adoption of the minor
ity report and Mr.. Little the adoption
of the majority report and that the bill
pass. The majority report was adopted
vote II to 10.
The appropriation committee recon-
mended the passage of the bill for the
appropriation for immigration and for
allowance of additional clerk hire in the
Office of the state treasurer. They also
recommended the bill for the repeal of
the law for the issuance of certificates
