st. Paul, Jan. 18.-In the senate Sen.
ator Miller introduced resolution pro-
viding for joint committee to inves-
tigate the cause of the difference be-
tween the provisions OF II. +. 20 as
passed by the legislature OF 1899 and
the form in which it appeared before
the governor. The bill relates to the
taxation of express companies on their
gross earnings. The bill, as passed.
provided for tax of l-2 per cent, and.
as signed by the governor, it provided
for tax of per cent. The difference
enabled the express companies to sue
cessfully contest the payment OF their
tax. The joint committee is to consist
OF two from the senate and three from
the house. Lieutenant Governor Smith
named Senators Miller and Roverud on
behalf of the senate. The committee
has power to summon witnesses and
call for books and papers.
BY passing two bills the senate set
tied down to it's regular business The
first one was that of Senator Johnson
providing that the public library boards
shall elect secretaries who shall also
look after their moneys. An act to
help out lawyers was passed at the re-
quest of Senator Wilson. 1t compels
the publishers to the Minnesota reports
to give credit and references in the
Northwestern Reporter when quoting
from its pages.
Senator Grue of Kandiyohi intro
duced two insurance bills. One amend
ed section relating to town insurance
companies, permitting them to insure
creameries as well as farm property
The other provided that members OF
mutual companies were deprived OF
their rights on failure to pay premiums
or assessments The contract is to
lapse without notice and the company
may recover the earned premiums.
Senator Grue wants the legislature to
provide for the drainage OF the state
capitol lands in Kandiyohi county and
to lease them to the best advantage. A
4-mile ditch is provided for in his bill.
Senator Snyder introduced bill call
ing for the creation of a state board of
control to manage all the penal re-
formatories and charitable institutions
of the state. 1t is a duplicate OF the
Torson bill in the house.
Senator Thompson wants to deprive
telephone and telegraph companies Of
their exclusive privilege of using pub
lie highways for telephone and tele-
graph lines. By his bill private indi.
viduals will be granted the same rights
and privileges as telephone companies
incorporated for the purpose.
