DIES MONIES. March 20.-Cspeeial.)-The
Inevitable conflict Of appropriation bills be-
came a. burning issue In the senate this
morning, and senators grew red In the
face as they considered Aome OF the phases
Of the troublesome question. The matter
came up on a motion by 0Rrst, chairman Of
the appropriations committee, to refer to
that committee the house bill to give ;s7,-
900 to the state fair people to build a pa
vilion for judging fancy livestock. In view
Of the fact that this IL not an emergency
bill and that the committees are finding
II hard TO get enough money to go around,
he asked that IL be sent TO the committee
instead Of being passed ahead Of all other
bills. Hartman protested. He accused
Carat Of wrongfully holding back the SEN
ate bill OF similar import after the com
mittee had unanimously recommended it
for passage. In defense Of the committee
Ball declared that It was the understand
ing that all or the items we're being agreed
on tentatively and that the chairman was
not to report out the bills one at a time.
but 10 hold them until the entire list could
be gone over. Maytag. also a member Of
the committee. declared that when he voted
for the $4,000 II was with the distinct
understanding that the bill was not to be
reported out until other matters had besn
considered. Hartman insisted that the
chairman had been ordered to report out
the bill. but he had not done SO, and now
was DESTROYS of getting the house bill into
committee to keep company with the one
he was holding back.
senatOf smith's Pleading.
Senator Smith Of Mitchell, who is a
member Of the senate appropriations COM
mittee subcommittee. pleaded that the SEN
ate not force this agricultural bill through
without giving the appropriations commit
tee a chance to consider 1t along with all
other matters. The committees have
never had a harder task than this year.
Junkin said the purpose OF the bill was to
provide money with which to build a fine
pavilion where those. who happened to have
fine stock could exhibit the animals and to
push It ahead OF the bills for the charitable
institutions would be unfortunate. He did
not know what there was 80 sacred about
this bill that II could not wait its turn.
Garst stated frankly that II this and other
bills for s~emi-public institutions are ia
have the right OF way over those for the care
Of the states n~ufortunates and educational
interests then members Of the senate will be
forced in the end to either vote against the
most meritorious bills Of the session or i'm
pose an unconstitutional debt on the state
Hartman denied this and said that the
state could raise the levy OF taxes and get
all the money that may be needed for legi-
innate expenses.
During the discussion there were many
sharp passages, indicating that there Is q
real conflict between the diverse interests
and a general desire to have this bill for
the benent of the State fair got out Of the
hands Of the appropriations committee be-
fore the Board of Control and educational
bills are considered. The motion to send
