The Minnesota Legislature.
HEALTH OF CATTLE A ! Il.
Live Stock Sanitary Board Plan Has
Now Been Passed by Both
Houses.
Senators Have a Lively Time Over
the Measure Before
Passing It.

Minnesota is to- have state live stock
sanitary board after all. The. Morley
house bill creating such. a board was
passed by the Senate this morning without
amendment, and needs only the governors
signature. This measure deprives the
state board Of health of a large share of
It's power and by many has been looked
upon as a reflection on the work Of the
state board. The bill was bitterly fought
and provoked one$of.the hardest fights OF
the session. SE GE% II 9s# II

stock sanitary board will consist of three

rotary. a field veterinarian and an attor-
ney and other helps ALI authority con-
+ferred upon the state board of health con-
sion and eradication of contagious or in
fictitious diseases among domestic ami
mails is transferred to the new board. In
this work It will cooperate with the local
boards of health. ~ - =. - = ~ s.
SC Schalier Was Wroth.
Senator Schaler objected vigorously to
a suspension of the rules on the ground
that the bill was Of such Importance as to
demand a full and fair discussion. He re-
minded the friends Of the bill that they
had promised that fair discussion would
be permitted, and now they were trying
to crowd it thru. His constituents did not
want such a measure, and hence he was
justified in opposing 1t In every way. He
demanded a roll call on the motion to sus-
pend the rules.
Before the vote had been announced,
Senator Lord stepped up to secretary Ian
gum for a look at the roll call. "
he or To
der! shouted Senator Schaller, jumping
to his feet. ''He has no right to exam
inc the roll call until it has been an
nounced.'' :F+.<
You're too late,''e remarked Senator
Lord with a smile. -. 80 .--,
About this time Senator Schaller caught
a St. Paul attorney in the act Of drum
ming up votes, and he was on his feet
almost blazing with wrath. -...
"There Is a man over there with a red
carnation in his coat (B. Fl. Schneider of
st. Paul. who wants to be attorney for
this board!" he shouted. He has been
interfering with the senators while in their,
seats, contrary to the rules Of this body.
If he does this again I shall insist that he
be excluded from the chamber
Lieutenant Governor Ray w. Jones was
prompt to remind the lobbyists that they,
could not work in the senate hcamber.
In spite of the efforts of Senator Schal
leI the IuleS were suspended, the mOClOn
to that effect securing the necessary AZ
votes while there were only Is votes
