HEADS OF HOUSEHOLDS MUST PRO-
VIDE FOR THEIR WIVES
AND CHILDREN
NEW MEASURE BY JACKSON
Representative Berg Introduces Bill
Providing for Representation
of State at BufFaIo
Exposition

Representative Jackson, of Ramsey,
introduced a bill in the house yesterday
In the interest of the home and Preside
Ii proposes to lay more stress on the
legal obligation imposed upon the male
head of the household to provide for mis-
wife and children, than that implied by
the present statute The bill mas al
ready been highly commended and will
probably go through the lower house
without any trouble.
This bill makes it a felony for a man
to willfully fail to properly provide food.
clothing, shelter and medical aid for
his wife or minor children, whereas the
present law terms such neglect a mis-
demeanOr.
Under the law contemplated in the new
measure the penalty for this offense will
be a term of from one to three years
in the penitentiary or county Jail, or a
three months term at hard labor In the
workhouse The bill provides, how
ever, that the transgressor may have
the privilege of bail in the sum of
$1,000. under which conditions the pre-
scribed penalty is not imposed.
Mr. Berg introduced bill in the house
yesterday calling for an appropriation Of
$4,000 to provide for Minnesota exhibit
at the Pan-American exposition. The bill
also provides that a commission con-
SiSting of the governor and seven other
members shall be delegated to represent
the state at the exposition. The COM
mission is to be appointed by the gov
ernor The commission is to elect it's
own president, vice president, secretary
and treasurer. The treasurer must give
a bond of $25, 600. The commissioners will
not draw salaries for their services, but
will be paid ample wages out of the APP
preparation. Senator Johnson introduced
the same bill in the senate.
A bill was submitted to the house from
the committee on military affairs provid-
ing that the adjutant general and his as
sistant or their substitute shall receive
the compensation as allowed to other ma
tional guard officers two grades below
their respective ranks. This raises the
adiutant generals income from $1,000 to
s.. 500 and that Of his assistant from 81 200
to $1500.

DECIDE BY POPULAR VOTE
PRIMARY ELECTION BILL OCCUPIES
CENTER OFF PUBLIC INTEREST.

ChN VI fODlAAO .
MADISON, Wis, Feb. H-Assembly-
man Johnson's bill in the assembly pro-
vides that whenever any question shall
be pending before a town, village or
county board and per cent of the vot-
ers of that district so petitioned, it shall
be submitted to vote Of the people at
the next election. 1t also gives political
parties in convention the right to petit
ton for vote on pending questions.
Mr.. Owen has a bill prohibiting the
voting by proxy at town insurance COM
pany meetings. Another bill of Mr..
Owen provides. that special school taxes
of mills on a dollar may be levied in
stead of 1 mill, as under the present law.
Mr.. Spratt's bill provides that loans on
personal property shall be taxed in the
county where the loan is made. Another
of Mr. Spratt's bills provides that the
care of idiots in county asylums may be
charged to the relatives on the same
basis as the care of insane.
The committees on privileges and cleo
lions of both houses met in the assembly
chamber again last evening to consider
the primary election bill. There was a
larger crowd present than at Tuesday af-
ternoon's meeting-fewer legislators but
many more outsiders. It was expected
that NJ G. Jeffris, the well-known James
but he had another engagement for the
evening, and besides said that his argu-
ment would be on different lines from
any yet made and he wanted
more time to prepare 1T. The ad-
dress Of the evening, in favor of
the bill, was read by James A. Frear, of
Hudson district attorney of st. Croix
county. In opening, he said he appear
ed at the request Of a member of the
committee to give what information he
could as to the working of the Minnesota
primary election law. which thus far
has been tried only in Mime
apolis, or rather Hennepin county.
Mr.. Frear then briefly outlined the
principal points in the Minnesota law
He then proceeded with his address,
which really consisted largely of letters
from Minneapolis people, addressed to e
Ray Stevens, for whom the bill is named
and who is a member of the committee
Another hearing will be given next Tues
day.

Hatchery Passed.

Hatchery Passed.
Two bills having for their object the
extension Of Phalen park beyond the
city limits have been introduced in the
house by Mr.. Johnson. One allows the

park lying outside the city limits The
bill is applicable however, to cities of
not less than $4,000 people. The other al

more than $4,000 people. Both bills have
been referred to the joint delegations
from Ramsey, Hennepin and st. Louis

RUKARD HJTRD GETS ONE

Rukard Hurd's bill to place the state
oil inspector on a salary basis called
forth the following poetical tribute:
Blessings on you, Rukard Hurd,
You are certainly a bird;
With your oil inspector bill,
Hearts Republican you fill
With forebodings of defeat
When again the parties meet.
For you're "culling OUT the dough
That your party needs, and SO
1t won't do a thing to you
If your little bill goes through.
Oh, for men of pluck and sand
Men like you, you understand
Men who dare to stand alone
And to do what should be done,
Though the leaders rave and swear,
Though they rend their scanty hair,
Though a look of wild surprise
Comes at times into their eyes,
They can phaZe you not a bit
Bless you, Rukard, you are 1t.

Reports have been rife on the streets
Of Ashland to the effect that the oil
sands had been successfully tspp ed
at the drill Of the Southern Oregon Oil
Co., on the Al6ard place near town,
and much excitement has been caused
by them. These reports probably grow
out OF the fact that the oil seepages,
which have been encountered for the
past ten days or more have continued,
and il anything, have grown stronger.
