uents, to wait longer for the action Of
said house of representatives, while we
continue to draw from the state salary
for services which we are anxious and
Therefore, be it resolved that this SEN
ate does now adjourn sine die.
1t being too early for a motion to ad-
journ, Senator Daugherty, who had been
carefully guaging the trends of affairs,
arose with senatorial solemnity and gave
notice Of debate as soon as the resolution
Of Senator MCGOWAN was read
Senator BaldWin,s lost constitutional
amendment made its appearance yester-
day. The bill had long since been given
up as lost, strayed or stolen but it
turned out that it's absence was merely
the result of a clerical error. 1t was sup
posed that the bill had been referred to
one subcommittee. by the judiciary COM
mittee, while in fact it was an entirely
different one. The bill has been reposing
in perfect peace and security on the desk
of Senator McGIll, chairman of the COM
mittee to which it had been referred.
This committee held a meeting after the
adjournment of the senate yesterday
morning, and referred all D4lls that had
been submitted to it to the judiciary
committee.
These include the two amendments in
troduced by Senator baldwin for the pur-
pose of providing means for the taxation
of franchises, public corporations and in
comes and Senator Sivright's amend
ment proposing a tax on the tonnage of
iron ore in the state. All of these meas
ures have appeared in the house, and it
is evidently the intention of the senate
to wait until the lower body has taken
some action on them. The Duluth dele
cation is not extremely favorable to the
tonnage tax measure, and it is generally
conceded TAat there win be a determined
effort made to defeat it.
