me appointment of DR.. Loebinger as
member of the state board of medical
examiners is being held up" the proba-
hllty being that Governor Toole will be

Senator Courtney is understood to be
the spokesman of the Butte medical fra

BILLS OF IMPORTANCE.
Several members of the house who are
addicted to the use of the seductive eli
sarettes have expressed themselves in
favor OF Murray's anti-cigarette bill. and
1t would not be surprising if the pro-
POSED measure should become law or
course. 1t is not claimed that the bill
would entirely prevent cigarette smok-
ing. because the inveterate 'fend" would
roll his own cigarettes, but it would pre-
vent TO large extent the consumption of
the ready mad article and work a hard
ship on the ubiquitous street arab.
Among the bills killed in the house was
the one providing for farmers institutes.
1t was killed in committee mainly be-
cause nobody who understood the sub
1tct was on hand to explain its advan-
tages. similar bill was introduced m
the senate today by Anderson. and an
attempt will be made to get it through
The committee of the house in case the
IRE posed law passes the senate.
Senator Clarks bill providing for !,
constitutional amendment allowing the 1
legislature to pass an eight hour law
and other so-called labor measures. has

being now matter of history some
body Will have to introduce a bill being
an act entitled AN Act to Provide for
the Speedy Disposition of Bills" or some
of the curious minded will begin to Won
der what Legislature is good for.
Senator Myers has introduced more
bills than any other two senators put to- /
sether. He has ofticiated as chief mourn !
er at the ohsequies of several pet meas |
ures. and the prospects are that his fam
Gus bachelor bill will be added to the list !
IF defunct pets when that unearth,y /
measure reaches the assembly.
Senator Worden enjoys the distinction
Cor so it is regarded here. of being the
only wearer of the toga who has not in
reduced Il single bill. Everybody has
the profoundest respect for his wisdom
and considers ton. and in this connection
It might not be amiss to mention the fact /
that he is republican.

rouse has enough backbone" to stand

his unique language, the representative
