| similar to the one the house judiciary
committee has now under discussion.
| The sugar beet bill has made it's APP
pearance in the present session. Rep
resentative Simon is the father of the
bill. It is the same measure that has
been defeated several times hereto
fore. It appropriates $19,923, for the
benefit of a St. Louis Park concern.
Representative Hinton has intro
duced a bill relating to exemptions
from garnishment in justice court
cases. No person may be garnisheed
for debt less than $40, but all wages
above that sum may be taken to satisfy
the debt. The present law only allows
garnishment when an employee has $25
coming to him and in that case the
whole sum may be taken. ,..s-- Z
The first patent medicine bill showed
up in the house last Tuesday. Repre-
sentative Peterson introduced two bills
making the sale of any patent medicine

lie schools shall be entitled to partici-
pate in the school apportionment unless
it maintains school for at least six
months of the year and the average at

loss of farmers cattle killed because
infected with some contagious disease.

two-thirds of the appraised value of

Princeton board of trade which pro-
vides for the distribution of all road
and bridge money derived from taxes
raised on property in any village that
constitutes separate road district, has
been amended by the house committee
