quate ssistance~to the Educational De-
pa,tma-F, so -tnat its erdeavarse In this
respect may be carried out. Sufficient ap-
preparations to meet all contingencies
must be made. The number of children
attending school Is increasing and, when
we take into consideration the Porto Ri
cans who have already arrived, and may
probably continue to arrive, it Is an un-
doubted fact that more money must be
available. School buildings may have to
be enlarged, new ones built, and more
teachers employed to carry on the work
of instructing those children who may
be scattered throughout the different dis
tricts, and who have attained the proper
age for attending school. If the propos-
ed appropriation be reduced (and such
idea has entered the minds of one or
more of the legislators), the number of
inspectors decreased we shall soon find
that the old adage, Penny wise and
pound foolish is in this particular In
stance fully illustrated. Again, speaking
of the school agents, 1t would, l think,
be an unwise step to dispense with those
officials. II the inspectors are to shoul-
der the duties of the school agents, as
one of our Senators suggested, he
should also have proposed to increase
their salaries. Consider the amount re-
quired for travelling expenses, especially

expense. When we take into considera-
ton all those matters, I think it would
be an unwise step to change the present
system. l would suggest to "let well

The present method of carrying on af-
fairs appears to be satisfactory. Let US
hope that no change will be made.

Salary Reduction.

There has been considerable reduc-
ton in the salaries of officials by the
Legislature, but not more than was
needed, and in some cases not so much.
The amount for the police force on
Maui was reduced from $4,000 to $4,000
and in justification of this it can truth
fully be urged that the volume of Grim
inal business has been largely reduced
on Maui within the past year or two.
The News does not favor the reduction
of the salaries of the policemen, but
the chances are that there will not be
so many police needed in the future on

Queer Things the Attorney-Generai

MEMBERS OF HOUSE IMPROVE
LAST CHANCE OF PRESENT
SESSION
TIME LIMIT HAS EXPIRED
Legislation of Almost Every Con-
ceivable Character Has Been
Brought Before SOIOns for
Their Consideration.

Yesterday was the last day for the
introduction of bills without the consent
OF the governor. The number introduced
In the house was kept down to twenty
two until within few minutes of ad-
journment, when it seemed for while
the speakers desk would be deluged with
proposed laws, but after ten bills had
found their way up the rush stopped
and the total for the day was thirty, ap-
pr0priate for the finish. This makes the
total for the session in the house 732,
which is more than were introduced up
to the same date two years ago. On
March 80, 1899, just 667 bills had been
introduced, but this number was in
creased to about a thousand before the
end of the session
The first bill introduced was that Great
ing the state tax commission, and it was
drafted by Representative George Il.
Laybourn, of Duluth. Representative J.
c. Sweet, of Minneapolis, is the author of
the last BILL which relates to sinking
fund investments in counties.
Bills have been introduced Of almost
every conceivable character Matters as
trivial as the destruction of certain
kind Of vegetation which grows in mead
ows and fields in the southern part of the
state and as striking in Importance as
the codifcation Of state tax laws, the
revoking Of law Which has stood from
the incipiency of Minnesotas statehood
and the reapportionn1ent of the congress
sional districts have formed subjects for
legislation or proposed legislation
Some weeks ago the G o b called at
tention to the statute which provided
that no bills can be introduced in the
legislature during the last twenty days
of the session When the legislature
resolved to adjourn ten days early. it
was decided by the members that bills
could be introduced up to within twelve
days of the close. But there is some
question as to the correctness of this
decision. If the law is construed to apply
to all sessions whether they are the full
ninety days or not there may be great
many laws annulled by the courts after
the legislature has adjourned.
Attorney General Douglas was
asked for opinion on this
point yesterday, and gave it as
his opinion that the action taken by
the house was in accordance with the in
tent of the law, and all of the bills
presented during the past ninety days
had been legally introduced

No EVIDENCE O BRIBERY
MEETING OF COMMITTEE OF IN
VESTIGATION WAS BARREN
OF RESULTS
HOUSE NOT YET SATISFIED
Members Who Made the Charges Can
Hardly Hope to Escape
Without Cen
sure.

Chairman Mallory. of the bribery in
Vestigation committee, is expected to
make his report in the house this morn
Ing. A meeting of the committee was
held yesterday at which, it is said, all
the evidence which the committee has
been able to obtain was adduced. Inls
evidence is understood to be of such a
character that will deter any man In
the house from basing a charge of bri-
berry upon it.
From the time the committee was ap-
pointed until the present it has been
practically impossible to get from Mr..
Mallory, or any of his associates on the
committee, any information as to what
was being done. Perhaps the reason for
this was that nothing was being done.
At any rate it was said Yesterday that
the meeting held during the day was
the only formal one that had been held.
AT this meeting it is understood mir.
Jacobson appeared and delivered to the
committee the affidavit which he pro-
claimed was in his possession at the time
he made his fatal charge, and which he
1ntimated would be all that was neces-
sary to convict certain members In the
house of bribery. The contents of this
aftldavit is the conversation which took
place on the street between Representa-
tive WaShburn and Representative
Hogan, in which, it is said the latter
told his colleague from Minneapolis that
he heard that there was $500 I'm it, for
any one who would vote against the bill.
When the committee started out on
its work the house was given to under
stand that it would be able to gather
wadS of evidence of the most incriminat-
Ing character, but now it appears that
signal failure in this respect has been
experienced, and the Washburn- Hogan
conversation, which stops a long ways
short of the cOnvicting line Is all that
has been landed by the six men appoint
ed to make the investigation The re-
sponsibility of not increasing the su~ pl 7
does not rest with the committee, how
ever, is the geperal belief.
What action the house will take re-
garding the men who made the charges
providing their accusations fall to the
ground, is not definitely known. of
course, hut there is a determination to
not allow the matter to rest here. A
reporter for he G o b e was assured
yesterday by prominent member OF the
house that unless Messrs jacobson and
Washburn were fully sustained In their
ringing charges of bribery by the report
OF the committee they would have to
face the other side of the proposition.
which will perhaps be no more pleasant
to them than the odium of their charges
have been to the house.
Whether proceedings of impeachment
will be begun the gentleman would not
state, but he declared that the repre-
sentativeS would not escape without
some sort of severe censure. The
charges were of a very serious character
and, If they are not sustained the opin-
Ion is that the house should administer
correction commensurate with the
gravity of the accusations.
