WORK OF THE EXTRA SESSION


trouble between ice companies and dwell
ers about Lake Calhoun. One made it a
misdemeanOr to pour oil or other noxiOus
substance on waters, and the other pro-
hibited cutting, ice on lakes within city
limits. The ice companies promised to
leave Lake Calhoun alone after next
winter, if the latter bill were passed. It
was amended to suit them, but neither bill
was ever brought to final passage.

ing under the advice of Former Governor
Lind, prepared three bills which were.
known as the democratic program The
first was a constit utiona1 amendment per-
uniting an income tax. The second i'm
posed franchise tax on public service
corporations, by adding the value of the
bonded Indebtedness to the assessment.
The third taxed foreign corporal ions do
ing business in Minnesota on the proper
ton of their capital represented by the
share of business done in the state.
The majority did not give these meas
ures very deep consideration. The first;
went down to oblivion with all the other
amendment bills, going into the crucible
from which the final draft emerged. The
other two were not reached by the house
until vest erday They were passed with
out much of fight, as their opponents
knew they wglld die in the senate.
No Extension of Time.
The commission on revision of the stat
utes will have to struggle through and
make some kind of report to the next
Legislature. The task is practically inn
possible, but the legislature refused to
pass the bill granting two years ext en-
sion of time. 1t went through the house
with the $4,000 additional appropriation
struck out, but struck the senate too late,
and did not reach passage.
No Embargo, ON Mules.
Senator Stockwen had the senator's on
the run when he introduced resolution
asking congress to stop the expectation of
mules to South Africa for use of the Eng
lish army. Few dared to oppose it, and
it went through with colors flying. The
house treated it as Joke, and after Mr.
Martins impassioned but rather obscure

MISCELLANEOUS BILLS
St. Louis Expo Measure Passed at
,s--... the Eleventh Hour.

In its closing hours the legislature
provided for a display of Minnesota,s
wealth and resources at the Louisiana
Purchase exposition. The house turned
down a bill by Mr.. Noyes early In the
session, which set aside $150.O00. Later
on L.. H. Johnson, at the governors re-
quest, introduced bill carrying $40 200,
and this was raised in committee to
$4,000. The governor is given the ap-
pointment Of three commissions, limited
to $1,000 each for expenses, and the limit
on salaries is placed at $4,000. One half
the money is available during the fiscal
year ending July 81, 1908, and the other
halt in the year ending July 81, 1904

equalization This did not prove very
popular. with country members. They
stood by the Jacobson bill, which engraft-
ed the tax commission on the board OF
eoualization, but the Anderson bill was
killed on general orders.
Commission Still Elective.
The threatened attempt to legislate the
railroad and warehouse commission out OF
office materialized in both houses. out
the commissioners had so many friends
and the governor so many enemies that
the bills did not get very far in either
case. Senator Halvorson fought hard,
hui, could not muster a majority OF the
senate. and Mr.. Wallace did not attempt
to oyerturn a hostile report OF the house
reception committee.
ore Rates Undisturbed.
The Independent mine owners of north
ern Minnesota failed to get relief from
the railroad and warehouse commission,
SO they appealed to the legislat ure. Sena-
tor Halyorson introduced bill in the
senate and Mr.. Pennington in the house,
reducing the rates 20 cents per gross ton

FELL BY THE WAYsIDE
Legislation of More or Less I'M
portance Killed.

The senate has Just one claim to credit
that the house cannot get Senator Mil
ler's constitutional amendment bill
passed the upper branch easily, and with
very little opposition, only to meet death
in the house. His amendment repealed
the one adopted in 1897, which required a
majority of all votes cast at an election
to carry constitutional amendment. The
result of this rule is that it is next to
impossible to pass an amendment. because
less than half the voters, as a rule, mark
the amendments at ALL Mr.. Dunn, Of
Ramsey, author Of the amendment of 1897,
led the fight in the house. The bill got as
far as the calendar but was defeated on
final passage.
No Constitutional Convention.
Once more proposition for calling a
constitutional convention died in the sen
ate. Sherman Smith of Hennepin ia :
thered the measure. It was not heartily
supported. Friends Of tax legislation
feared plan to ditch their measure, and
the other crowd has never been. particu-
1arly enthusiastic over revision OF the
constitution. The bill required q two
thirds vote. and the first time up it only
mustered S.. Its author secured re-
consideration, and the next time the bill
passed 80 to II. In the senate it was
reported out by the committee, but special
orders prevented it even getting second
reading and no one attempted to call II
up for passage yesterday. The senate
had voted the proposition down too often
to reverse itself.
stu Under Board of Control.
The educational institutions failed to
get relief from the dictum of the supreme
court, and are still subject to the financial
supervision Of the board Of control. Sen
ator Brewer opened the attack with
bill removing the university the normal
schools and the schools for the deaf and
blind from the boards authority. The
senate refused to receive the bill. 81 to 80
Senator Snyder came to the front the
last day with bill affecting the uni
versity alone, and this commanded
stronger support. He got the rules sus:

Drainage Law Amended.

Senator Grindeland had billapassed
correcting a number of defects in the
drainage law, which made It necessary to

Expense of the Session.

The extra session will not cost the
state over $62,50O. There was left from
last years appropriation 5000, and at
the first of the session $40,0 900 additional
was set aside. The session lasted far
longer than expected, and it was neces-
sary to pass another bill for $1,000 yester-
day. An appropriation of $500 was
made for printing the session laws.
Members and employees received pay for
thirty-six days, the time from Feb. 4,
which the session convened, to the ad-
journment March II. The house spent
twenty days in actual session, and
the senate tWenty-seven.
