FIGHTING FOR

Senate Passes Bill to Give
Towns One Half
IT WAS A MAJORITY VOTE
Some Doubt as TO Whether Il EC-
QuireS That or a TWO-thirdS
Vote
IT WAS A MlJORVTY VOTE

Staff Correspondence Evening Journal.
Dover. Feb. ply vote Of 10 to Z,
the Senate yesterday afternoon passed
Representative Monaghans bill to restore
to Incorporated cities and towns one-half
of the liquor license fees collected there
in. There is doubt as to whether it was
concurred i'm. the question being whether
a majority vote or two-thirds vote Is
necessary to pass the measure.
The decision will depend upon the opin-
ion Of the legislative attorneys whether
or not the bill carries an appropriation.
The general impression seems to be that
it is not an appropriation measure and
that "A majority vote is sufficient for its
passage The House passed the bill 10y
majority vote.
Appropriation measures require two
third votes.
The vote on the bill yesterday was;
Nays-Abbott, Alice, Blakely, Groves,
Pennewil. Ellison, Brasure-7
Ayes-Clements. Harrington. Farlow,
Hart Maull, McFarlin, Knox, McNulty
Wright, Slaughter-1O.
All the Union Republicans voted
against it.
Senator McNulty spoke in favor OF the
measure. He said that Wilmington con-
tributes nearly all of the money from
liduor fees into the State treasury and
gets no proportionate benefit in turn. He
said that in every city of Importance, at
least one-half of the revenue from liquor
licenses is restored to the municipalities.
Because Of the sale of liquor in VII
mington. the police force is made neces-
sary and Mr.. MeNulty thinks that some
of the liquor license fees should be used
to maintain the police department. lie
thinks that in a year or two the money
diverted from the treasury by the pro
visions of the bill would be restored hy
the revenue from the General lncorpor
alton law.
Senator Knox read some figures show
ing that out Of forty-eight principal cities
forty-siX receive more than one-half o
the liquor license fees paid therein forty
cities receive all of the license fees, si'
receive two-thirds and two one-half o
the fees.
Senator PennewIl contended that IN
time is not opportune for the passage o
the bill He thought if the incorporation
laws fulfill expectations, then the meas
ure could be passed two years hence.
Should the bill be declared a law. WI
minGton will get about $4,000 annually
FOR A DEPUTY JUDGE
Senator Groves bill to provide deput
judge for the Municipal Court of Wi
mington, was reported favorably yestel
day afternoon. 1t provides that the Mu
nicipal judge shall name a deputy at
salary Of $500 annually TO serve foi
years. Ii will be given thorough consd
Grafton on Monday afternoon.
SENATE GIFTS MANY BILLS.
The Senate yesterday received 1le biz
making a total Of nearly 500 now befo
the body. Not more than 100 had be,
passed last night and it is believed that
least 200 Of those remaining cannot
gotten through both houses in the /,
weeks now remaining.

Is In receipt Of letters from z. ]. Nor
beck OF bloomington, S. D., saying that
the writer has arranged for a complete
new outfit designed especially for drill
ing deep wells in SulIy county, where It
Is believed the flow is several hundred
feet below that Of other sections of the
state.
Mr.. Norbeck has closed contracts
with Pear township, Sully county. for
TWO wells, work upon which will be
commenced March 1. These wells will
be constructed under the provisions of
the new law allowing townships to bond
beyond the constitutional limit for arte-
sian well purposes, and will be the first
drilled in that part of the state under
such provisions. The bonds will be
taken by the firm represented by Mr..
King, at par. Mr.. Norbeck has five
other artesian well drilling machines,
two of which will be operated in Paddle
county. He will put down a well on
the ranch OF Fred NJ. Wilcox. one OF the
largest in that part of the state. Mr..
King says he expects to arrange for the
sinking of thirty or more artesian wells

SUBSTITUTE FOR IRON.
New Zealand Plan Of branding May
BE Adopted.

The means which are employed by
ranchmen in branding their cattle have
long been the subject of discussion,
and much complaint has arisen against
the inhuman use Of the branding iron.
Aside from the torture 1t causes the
poor brutes, it Injuries the hides. Many
ranchmen have given the problem
much thought, but a satisfactory solu-
ton has never been reached. A New
Zealand idea in branding has been re-
Gently tested with satisfactory results.
A composition which consists of equal
parts Of barium sulphide and of coal
tar, preferably thinned by a mixture OF
American potash and water, in equal
parts by measure, and Of spirits of tur-
pentine, each equal to the original COM
position, is used. Sulphides Of the al
kali or alkaline earths are often substi'
tuted for the barium sulphide. This
composition is applied with a cold
branding iron. 1t destroys the hair or
wool of the animal and brands. In a
