There is mighty little chance OF the
passageofG ronvold's resolutiont to amend
the constitution SO that school lands can
be sold at SIS per acre. In view Of the
general opposition to selling any school
lands, even at $40 per a%cre--no matter
how plainly it may seem good business
propositionthe school lands are the
sentimental hobby Of the people, who
would rather tax themselves to death
than part with the precious dirt.
The biennial changing Of the time for
the delinquency Of taxes IS bad prac-
tice.@ Senator Sanborn'sb bill. introduced
BY request, extending the time for taxes
70 become delinquent this year toO cto-
Der I--should not ~pass--nnless it is ex-
pected$t to shut up the state departments
and close the state institutions. The
larger portion of the taxes will be paid
by February il the law is not tinkered
with, and the state viii have something
to do business with. last time the
taxes were extended there was the devil
to pay--and nobody benefited. 1t is
understood Senator Lavayea's bill along
the same lines was introduced byrequest
and will not be pressed owing to the
financial exigencies Of the situation. 8s

hunter Of the Slope, ann vi from the
ranch yesterday and is button-hohng
members regarding a wolf bounty bill

His$bill provides that counties paY5half
the bounty, which he thinks q fair pro
position. He thinks the state foating
debt could be easily paid if some 81 the
wide awake men Of the commonwealth
would chip ii a few dollars each. He
offers Il ante 81 for d starter. Who win
follow suit? + is guggestedthe speaker
of the third house be made receiver Of
the fund, which proposition meets with
personal and general approval. Mr..
Corbin will endeavor to secure the pas
sage through the third ~house-of his
wolf bounty bill and other Legislation
important to the interests Of the Slope.
