MONTPELIER, Tuesday.
The House today put the finishing
touches on the license bill, concurring in
all the Senate amendments. including the
half-and- half divisions of license fees,
which was done by vote of l16 to 80,
after some debate. The bill now goes to
the governor.
The House devoted much time to school
matters. Two bills, on which the com
mittees on education had labored hard,
came over from the Senate and met death
in the House. One related to the provis-
ion of outside instruction by school direc-
tors and the other to truancy. The House
passed bill of its own, giving town school
directors absolute discretion in the mat
ter Of sending pupils outside the town for
instruction.
The House killed the Senate bill requir-
ing state printing TO be done in Vermont.
The House passed a substitute for the
Senate bill dealing with cattle shipped to
Massachusetts, and there rejected for tuber-
culosis. It gives butchers and shippers
the benefit OF S0eo state compensation.
The House killed House bills aboIishing
beard Of agriculture; giving full compen-
sation for cattle that have been thus far
condemned for tuberculosis: support of
persons confined in jail on civil process.
The House passed House bill allowing
inmates Of Soldiers Home 81 a month of
their pension money, with certain restric-
tiuns
The House passed these Senate bills:-
Doing away with states attorneys salary
certificates; $4,000 repairs to states prison;
increasing penalty for unlawful fishing in
private preserves; exempting fair grounds
from taxation.
The Senate knocked out the q 600 House
appropriation for kitchen at the Brattle-
boro asylum; passed the $1,000 House bill
for support Of the Soldiers Home: passed
Senate charter fee bill; killed House bill
requiring election officers to stay behind
guard rail; also House bill not requiring
luries to be held together during court
recess.
The senate ordered to third reading
House bills authorizing trust companies
to act as fiduclaries; requiring road COM
missioners not to exceed their appropria-
tions; penalties for improper management
OF creameries; requiring towns to appor-
tion taxes voted; repairs of house Of cor
rection.
That the farmers propose to make them
selves felt in future legislation. as they
have most certainly at this session, is
shown by the permanent organization
perfected last evening by the farmer men,
bers of both houses. They have held
meetings frequently through the session,
the influence OF which has been felt on
the floors. To continue this power in ses-
hluhs 70 coHt these meHlptfs organized
what is called the Farmers Legislative Or
ganization, with constitution and bylaws,
and full corps of officers. The purpose is
TO promote the farmers interests through
legislation, and to this end to secure the
election Of as many farmers as possible to
the assembly. There is some resentment
against the Senate for killing pet measures
OF the House farmers, and an effort will be
made to eject good representation of
farmers to that body next time. lt is
limited that some OF the House farmers
would be willing to ride into the upper
chamber by aid OF this new machine.
1t is not fully determined that final ad-
journment VIII come Friday. The Senate ]
is hanging off, fearing that it cannot wind /
up its business then. Both houses ad- I
journed al o'clock today in respect to 1
the dead Tom Reed. The House held an |
evening session.
