THE WOLF BOUNTY BILL.
The old scrap over Simpsons wolf
bounty bill was renewed when the house
went into the committee of the whole
for its consideration. Mr.. Thordarson
was in the chair when the trouble came
on and he had to brace up plenty to
keep the warning elements in order.
Hare moved to make it the special
order for the afternoon session. Cassell
raised the point of order that such mo-
tion could not be made in committee of
the whole and moved as substitute to
indefinitely postpone.
Hare said this was snap Judgment as
many of the friends of the bill were not
in the room. He defended the bill and
said the measure was not a personal one
with him but one that he thought de-
served the earnest consideration of the
members from all parts of the state. All
taxable property was entitled to protec-
ton.
Packard thought the governor had
been misinformed as to the probable in
come for the biennial period and pre-
dicted that instead of the state being
$4,000 in the hole it would, even with all
the suggested appropriations passed, be
about $4,000 to the good. He quoted
quite extensively from reports to bear
out his remarks.
| Chacey said the interests of the west
were ably discussed by the previous
speakers, but the east had troubles Of its
own and pests galore-and they didn't
ask the state to protect them, either
He said the grain growers lost far more
by weeds than the west did from wolves
He offered to personally come out and
assist Uncle Ben Corbin exterminate the
varments whenever a big hunt was or
ganized.
Michels said the house had passed the
bill to give bounty for gophers and the
cattle men were entitled to like consid
GRAFTON. Every section had need ofsome
kind of help and the matter should be
considered in all fairness
, Bennett called attention to the fac
| that all who voted against the gopher
bill were strongly for this measure.
| Chaffee said the gopher tax was 10
cal affair, not a state matter like this
and there was no comparison between
the two.
Leech said the bill might not helI
Cass county, but he was not going tt
, vote against it for that reason, as he con
sidered it a duty of the legislature t,
look after the needs of all the people re
t gardless of locality.
Chacey was surprised at Leech.
> Packard said the west had voted solid
: ly for everything the valley had asked
for and thought they we're not getting
fair return. He agreed to support bill
for state gopher bounty if Chace,
7. wanted it. He predicted that if tn
5 wolves were not exterminated soon the
!. would drive out the cattle and with then
f a great source of state revenue Th
t wolves would soon spread over the state
3 even unto the valley, though perhap
!, Cass county might escape the scourg
A through the annual inundation of tina
: section. The stock men were putting VI
money all the time to get rid of this pes
} and they deserved help.
} Gullikson said he would vote for tn
bill if there was a provision in the bill
3 prohibiting the issuance of warrants o
3 certificates when there was no money il
, the treasury to pay for them.
r Young read statement as to the take
+, paid by eastern and central counties TO
= wolf bounty. Such a tax was not fai
=. to those counties when they had also t.
. put up for the determination of weed
), and gophers.
: Palmer said he cared not what count
the varmints ived in, they should b
T. gotten rid of. He asked the Barne
r county man to prepare his gopher bi
q and he would be with him..
i Hare said he thought the west ha
not the large farms of the valley, ye
: there were plenty of farms-and goph
ers-and weeds-all of which have to b
contended with the same as in the east
r He said as he understood the matter tn
