when they report measure out,
their action on the same should be
final. No, it is in i'll taste for the
secretary of the senate to insinuate
that the lower house of the legisla-
ture is not working body, for new
er during period of fourteen years
last past in which the writer has
been familiar with the legislative
work, has there been a harder work
ing BODY than the present repre-
sentative branch of the Minnesota
legislature. Cutting out The work
OF the local committees. which has
been extremely heavy, let us take
the work of the whole house. When
an adjournment was voted last Fri
day the committee of the whole
mouse had only a dozen bills left on
general orders and on all of these
bills, progress had been requested
oihNO VIC Iooo otSSIOu commenced
there has been 10 the neighborhood
of $50 to 200 bills sent over to the
senate from the house. and of this
number hardly ten per cent has
been returned, and the senate bills
sent to the house have not eQualed
90 altogether. There are now on
the senate general orders from &C
to 100 bills, and If the legislature
does finally agree to adjourn on
April 10th, fifteen or twenty DAYS
before the limited time, there is no,
particle Of doubt but what the
senate will be clogged up SO tightly
with bills that 80 per cent. of the
measures introduced will not be
acted upon. :
This is simply lethargy on the
part of Mr.. Ian gham's body. AT
the last election, the senators were
elected for four years, hence the
nonchalance. The senator's feel as
though they do not have to make a
record at this session. Rather thew
seem to be willing to let legislation
go to sleep. or allow important meas
ures to be turned down by reason
of their Incidence, feeling as though
they will be able at the 1905 session
to make record that will warrant
their constituents ia returning them
to the senate, or what other posi-
tons they may happen to be candi-
dates for. There have been two
very important measures already
sent over to the senate from the
house, but it is. extremely dou btful
whether either one of them will be
favorably acted upon. The first
one is the Helliwell bill providing
for taxation of inheritances. The
bill is constitutional, if the best
constitutional lawyers are to be

relleQ upon, ana 1T Will tax class
of wealth that has never heretofore
been taxed. The senate means to
slaughter it, unless the people of
State give the senators to under
stand that their deeds will not be
forgotten at the 1905 election. The
second proposition is what is known
as the wide open constitutional
amendment, which, if passed by
the senate and approved by the
people would give the legislature
power to meet the many classes of
corporations, franchises and other
concerns now escaping taxation.
and which, if taxed, would practi-
cally do away with the levying of
any State tax on the people of the
different counties. 10 this connec-
ton, it is surprising to note that
some senators who have been re-
garded as friends of the people in
the past, are already in the open
against this amendment. Still fur
Their, on March 9TH, the senator's,
by heavy vote, voted down Sena-
tor Lord S proposed amendment to
the constitution, whereby it was
proposed that all constitutional
amendments receiving a majority of
the votes cast for or against the
amendment, would result in its
adoption by the people. This in
! dicates that the present senate does
not intend to trust the people with
a proposition of this character-in
other words, that the senators are
not willing to return to the power
from which they themselves receive
their election certificates.
It can be truthfully said and with
out any feeling of malice or ill-will
that if the senate does it's work as
we'll as the house. the present leg
islature will be in a position to ad-
journ to.return sine die by April %,
and have all of the measures before
either body properly considered,

the contrary Notwithstanding.
One of the shortest bills intro
duced at this session, and the one
having the broadcast meaning, is
that by Mr.. Gandrud Of Kandiyohi
county. The bill has already passed
the house and has gone into what
the house is pleased to call "the
slaughter house"-the senate
where it may receive the worst kind
of Jolting. The bill is but four lines
in length. It provides thatthe con
solidation Of the capital stock, lines,

The anti vaccine fiends that have
been lobbying around beth branches
of the legislature ever since the
1903 session commenced. have gone
up against the real thing in the sen
ate. DR.. Cole, a member of that
body, who has championed the
cause of the old line doctors who
believe in vaccination, whether
honestly or for the so cents or ST
fee secured a special order for the
anti-vaccine bill of March eth, and
after a speech lasting two hours
aud half, strictly from a medical
standpoint, the doctor succeeded in
striking out practically all after the
enacting clause and having an
amendment tackled on in place there
of, providing that school boards
Shall not compel the vaccination
of children whose parents present
certificates signed by regular prac-
ticing physicians stating that their
physical condition is such as to rem
der vaccination dangerous and who
have not been exposed to small pox
during the previous thirty days.
This change conforms with the prac-
tice which boards of health have fol-
lowed for ten years, and is practi-
cally, no change at all. DR.. Cole
succeeded in getting this amendment
adopted by a vote of 35 to IA, after
which the bill passed the senate by a
vote of 80 to z, and when the final
vote was taken, all of the senators
whether attorneys or otherwise
claimed that they had secured suffi-
cient medical information from DR..
Cole, to warrant them ia. taking the
title OF doctor, and att commence
the practice Of medicine. A similar
bill to the original bill acted upon
by the senate, was special order
in the house for March 18th. The
fact that the senate has turned
down the original bill makes it GER
tain that the house will not attempt
to go in advance Of that day.
A proposed measure that caused
ripple of merriment all over the
house when it was. first introduced,
but which has a right to serious
consideration, is the bill introduced
by Mr.. Mark, which provides that

New York people thought of their
city. He was at the house of one of
his New York acduaintances'' whose
daughter had begun to attend school a
few weeks ago.
Ana what have you been learning
at school Agnes?" be asked her.
Then she proceeded to tell him
about spelling and reading and her
other studies. but she seemed to be
interested in geography more than
anything else. The points OF the COM
pass occupied all he' thoughts now.
'Norths that way, teacher bid"
and Agnes pointed her finger, ITS
not exactly right up Fifth avenue. but
a little that way"
Now, don't you think the Avenue
ought to have been built north and
south?" Congressman Slayden asked.

was not trace of smile. Il s'pose
they'll change north and south to fit
