tice of the peace bill developed not
little feeling and the discussion of the
latter was suddenly closed by Chair
man Hickey, who checked Justice
Blackwell in the midst of personal ref
erences to one of the legislators.
The justice courts bill provides that
justices of the peace in Ramsey coun-
ty may issue no papers save executions
in judgments already entered, which,
summed up, means that In short
time the justices of the peace will be
out Of business, as were their COM
patriots in Hennepin county. Justices
Mills, Hoff, Blackwell and Smith APP
peared in opposition to the measure.
Justice Smith explained to the delega-
ton that the proposed measure is I'm
constitutional in it's provisions.
Justice Blackwell spoiled prOlonga-
ton of the discussion and imperiled
the chances of himself and colleagues
by allowing his feelings to get the
better of him. He launched into a
dissertation in which the pointed per-
sonal references to a member of the
delegation were not half yelled, and
Chairman Hickey promptly called the
fight off. The members were not or
iginally greatly in favor of the meas
ure, but after the meeting several of
them said that a similar attack on the
part of the justices would result In the
passage of the BILL
The Hinton garnishment bill provides
that judgments may be entered against
all sums in excess of $25 exemption,
Wiping out the present. $40 clause,
which gives really a $35 exemption.
The Soule bill limits the exemption to
$25 for thirty days preceding the COM
mencement of the garniShment pro-
ceedings. Representatives Of the re-
tailers' association headed by Secre-
tary Fred Mason advocated the passage
of the bills and admitted their author
ship. The opposition to the Hinton
bill is mild, but the iSoule bill raised
a storm of protest from the union la
Dor men. Chairman Hickey point
ed out to the retailers that by virtue of
the propesd law it would be possible
for debtors to deprice men of all SAL
airy for two weeks in every thirty days.
The bill appropriating 100000 for
the White Bear pumping station and
carrying an annual appropriation Of
$4,000 was advocated by MessrS.
Griggs, Markee, Fuller and Col. Leip, of
White Bear. Mr.. Fuller claimed that
the proposed pumping station could
be made to raise the level of the lake
Z per cent annually.
The police pension bill was the meas
ure receiving the strongest support
and the number of it's advocates was
surprise to the legislators. The
speakers for the bill were Capt. Will
liam Hanft and Secretary Joseph
Mounts, of the police department; Sec
rotary Fred Mason, for the retail gro
GERS; Secretary James and Mr.. Becker
for the Federation of Labor; E. B.
Lott, binders union; A. F. DweIle, re-
tail clerks; w. H. Harrington, iron
moulders; P. J. McCue, typographical
union; John Geary, teamst ers' union;
Joseph MacauIey, electrical workers
union, and Aid. Matt BantZ.
The proposed pension system was
compared with those operative in 9TH
er states and shown to be superior and
more economical. The chief objection
to the bill has been the provision for
pensions for officers discharged for
sickness. This clause will be stricken
and only veteran service or debility
resulting from injuries received in the
discharge of duty will entitle officers
to retirement and pensions Of $40 per
month.
