STATE TO ASK OPENING
OF FOREST RESERVE
Morley's Attempt to Defeat Concurrent
Resolution Fails in House

Action by the legislature in a concur
rent resolution requesting the depart
ment of the interior to throw open the
so-called forest reserve tract in north
ern Minnesota will stand. In the house
yesterday the Morley resolution re-
scinding this resolution failed to get
the required number of votes to secure
a suspension of the rules that a vote
might be had on its merits.
When a good deal of eloquence had
been turned loose on a busy house, N
+. Hugo of Duluth raised the point of
order that the Morley resolution could
not be considered without a suspen-
sion of the rules because il had not been
sent to a committee for a recommen-
dalton. Speaker Clague held the point
well taken and sent the resolution to
the forestry committee. On the mo-
ton to suspend the rules but "a MEM
bers voted in the affirmative, while So
went on record as opposed to the re-
consideration.
The defeat of the motion to suspend
the rules disposed of the whole matter
for the session, but in view of the di-
Vided sentiment of the legislature the
original memorial will probably not
have the weight with the interior de-
partment that 1t originally would have
had.

MANNIx GETS DIVORCE
RESOLUTION THROUGH
State to Have Commission Investigate
Laws Without Compensation

]. T. Mannix of Hennepin put
through a resolution yesterday author
izing the governor to appoint a COM
mission of three attorneys to investi-
gate the laws on divorce and to attend
a national congress to discuss the sub
ject of uniformity in divorce laws next
summer at Washington. Mr.. Mannix's
bill, authorizing the appointment of
such commission and carrying a
small appropriation for the purpose,
had been blue-penciled by the appro-
priations committee. His resolution,
accepted yesterday. provides for no ap-
preparation, but Gov. Johnson is said
to have secured the consent of men to
attend the conference and to pay their
own expenses incurred in the service
of the state.

HOUSE MEMBERS ARE
AFRAID TO LIFTLID
Morley's Rush Work Resolution Checks
Several Important Measures

When 20 members could prevent a
vote on bill that "A desired to be con-
sluered, the house grew restless Vester-
DAY afternoon under the terms of the
Morley resolution. While members de-
clared that the rule for the last day
worked a hardship on meritorious
measures they were afraid to take off
the I'D for they knew the result.
Under the workings of the new rule.
a number of important measures were
sent to the foot of the calendar
Among them was the Laybourn anti
grand jury bill. George Mackenzie Of
Sibley made an extended argument in
favor of the bill, showing that he had
made an exhaustive research Of the ex-
istence and workings of similar laws
in other states. The house suspended
the regular order to give the Sibley
county man the opportunity to make
his speech, but twice refused during the
afternoon to consider the measure on
its merits. Another bill that was re-
fused consideration was the Thomp-
son bill to regulate the speed of auto
mobiles. Friends of this bill tried hard
to get this bill to vote, and "A mem
berS declared for its final passage.
There were 20 who stood out and the
bill went back
The bill to permit the filing of chat
tel mortgages with the register of
dCCuS 4llSledQ VI the various Town
clerks, the bill to take the nOtariaI
fees from the governors private secre-
tary, the Buck bill to take the Fari-
bault school for the blind from the
jurisdiction of the board of control
and the Dunn voting machine bill, all
had this experience during the after
noon.
The house passed a number of bills
of more than general interest. Among
these were the Bardwell bill to put a
number of Minneapolis city officers,
now named by the council, at the mercy
of popular vote; the Hickey bill, to
permit the naming of the st. Paul
building inspector by the city council
instead of the city engineer; the Stone
bill, requiring railroad companies to
name their stations after the postoffice
in the town in which the station is To-
Gated; the Cooke bill, to give the courts
of the state concurrent jurisdiction
over interstate waters, and the bill ap-
propriating $4,000 for a statue of Al
eXander Ramsey, the war governor of
Minnesota, to be placed in statuary
hall at Washington.

LEGISLATURE FIXES
RATE OF TAXATION
Mork Measure Has Easy Sailing in
House and Senate

The tax levy for 1906 will be Is
mills. For 1907 the levy cannot be
more than IL mills. Both houses, under
suspension of the rules, passed the MorlS
bill, the tax levy measure based on the
appropriations carried in the omnibus
appropriation bill. The house passed
the Mork bill first. 1t went through
without division and was sent TO the
senate, where il had equally plain sail
ing. 1t authorizes the raising of not
to exceed $1,000, 900 for the revenues of
the state for 1906 and not more than
81, 100000 for 1907. The added taxes
on the 4 per cent gross earnings tax
on railroads for 1907 is expected to re-
duce the levy for 1907 from the figures
for next year. Whether or not the
railroad companies will pay the in
creased taxes under the law of 1903
remains to be seen, as several of the
roads claim to be operating under
charters fixing their taxes at 21z per
cent.
The increase in the tax levy for 1906
is y mill on the taxable property
of the state. The levy for the last two
years was l mill, and the fact that the
omnibus bill meant an increase in the
tax levy made the legislators hesitate
TO accept the report of the joint appro-
priations committee.

HOUSE REFUSES TO
REBUkE Mr.. JOHNSON
Report Criticising Former State Ex-
aminer Is Laid on Table

An attempt to have the report of the
public accounts committee in condem-
nation of former Public Examiner s.
T. Johnson adopted by the house fall
ed yesterday. Burdette Thayer, a MEM
Der of the committee, asked considera-
ton for the report, made on Friday.
Instantly there was debate. Sherman
S. Smith of Hennepin moved the pre-
vious question, but A. j. Rockne Sc
cured the tabling of the report until
the bills before the legislature were
cleared up. B. H. Jefferson of Cotton
wood was on his feet to protest against
the report of the committee, of which
he is a member, but when the house
voted 10 lay the report over until to-
morrow he did not make the sensa-
tional speech which the house expected
from him.
A resolution offered by John Zelch of
Washington asks the attorney general
to begin an action to recover from
Mr.. Johnson the amounts which the
committee reported he had illegally
drawn from the state. Mr.. Jefferson
gave notice of debate, and the resolu-
ton was not considered on it's merits.
A resolution offered by ]. T. Mannix
of Hennepin, appropriating 5000 for the
purchase of a large group picture of
members and officers of the legislature,
was sidetracked for the day by a notice
of debate given by w. P. Roberts of
Hennepin.

lauritsen Bill Passes

Representative Marcus Lauritsen of
Lincoln yesterday succeeded in putting
through the house bill that is de-
signed to relieve certain counties of the
state from the care of insane persons
who have been returned from the hos
pitfalls for the insane as incurables. The
Lauritsen bill amends the Peterson
law of 1897, which made IT mandatory
upon the board of control TO return per-
sons from the hospitals where three
physicians certified that they were not
proper subjects for treatment by hos
pital. The Lauritsen bill gives the
board of control discretionary powers.
Lincoln county has number of per-
sons returned from hospitals and the
county is paying out large sums for
their care in private families where
there are not facilities for their proper
and safekeeping. Mr.. Lauritsen en-
countered unexpected opposition in the
passage of his bill during the session,
but yesterday was successful in getting
ii to a final vote.

OIL INVESTIGATION
COMMITTEE REPORTS
State Inspector Is Instructed to Secure
Better Grades of Oil

That the higher priced illuminating
oils are not always carried at all the
tank stations of the Standard Oil COM
pany in Minnesota is found to be the
source of complaints that led to the
inquiry into the state oil inspection,
completed by report filed by the
house committee on oils yesterday.
The committee made its final report,
accompanied by a record comprising
eighty-five pages of testimony taken
at the several hearings on the subject
Of a gravity test. The report of the
committee was adopted by the house
without debate, and the testimony will
be printed as supplemental report to
the annual report of Chief Oil Inspector

tee that made an investigation into
questions relating to the kerosene sold
to Minnesota consumers.

AFTERNOON IN SENATE
SPENT ON CALENDAR

The senate devoted the afternoon ex-
clusively TO the calendar and passed
thirty bills. Five bills were defeated,
failing to receive thirty-two votes.
The bill that received the worst drub-
bling was Representative Bardwells
measure requiring the use of copper
tanks only, in connection with gasoline
stoves. Senator Campbell called the at
tention of the senate to this provision
with the result that on roll call il re-
ceived only seven votes, thirty-five be-
ing recorded against it.
Representative MacKenzie's bill au-
thoriZing school boards to make three
year contracts with teachers failed to
pass, receiving only Is votes to Is
against it.
Senator Stephens bill to deprive JUS
tees of the peace in the towns and viii
lagos of the state of jurisdiction where
municipal court exists, was lost by a
vote of II to IS. Senator Stephens bill
providing for the eradication of noXious
weeds was defeated by a vote of Is
to %. S-''' -'~-
The house bill by Representative
Lennon requiring country hotels to pro-
vide fire protection and escapes was
first defeated by vote of 2S to IA, but
was reconsidered later and passed by
vote of SO to 8. The inspectors fees
will range from so cents for twelve
rooms to SO for 200 rooms and over.
Representative Coles bill designed to
pay the sheriff of Cass county his fees
and expenses for executing a condemn
ed man was resurTected and passed, re-
ceiving q bare 80 votes. AS it had
been dead for several days, having been
indefinitely postponed by the judiciary
committee, it is believed that it was
illegally passed, not having been re-
considered within forty-eight hours.

an alteration just after the house had

arrangement of a hotel. Speaker
Clague, after the adjournment, at
tempted to enter the room where the
odor of coffee gave promise of refresh

barred his way. The speaker in wrath

SENATE WORKS HARD
TO CLEAN ITS SLATE
Senators Labor Through Three
Sessions to Consider
All Bills

The senate settled down to work
promptly at 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing and proceeded almost Immediately
to the consideration of the calendar,
which contained siXty-four bills. After
the noon recess it reconVened at p. m.
and proceeded with the calendar, COM
pleting it at 5:45.
Meeting for third session at p. m,
the senators in the order of the roll
call called up bills, most of which were
on the general orders calendar, and
were in the main house bills. A few
were killed, as suspension of the rules
was necessary in case of objection.
1t was noticeable that whenever a
senator objected to a bill and demand
ed a roll call on the motion to suspend
the rules, the necessary two thirds vote
was rarely forthcoming. In this way
half a dozen or more bills were Smoth-
cred
Senator Morgan was the last senator
to call up a bill. 1t was while he was
on his feet that the hilarity began, and
a shower of papers and pamphlets fill
ed the air.
An attempt to adjourn was made
half an hour before, at 80 p. m, but
Senator Lord interposed an objection.
Il think it would be unfair to the
senators whose names have not been
reached to adjourn now" said the SEN
ator from Dodge. Il am not speaking
for myself, for l have no bill to offer,
but for those who may"
So the senators waited until IL
o'clock At that hour, when it was pro-
posed to adjourn, not a senator OBJ
jected and the motion to adjourn until
IL "A. IN. today was carried with
mighty shout
Tht senate made a record in clean
ing up the calendar, as it left scarcely
more than twenty-five bills on the cal
endar and general orders undis
posed of.
The senate galleries were crowded
with spectators, and the floor space
was also well occupied by them The

FLOWER SAVES HARDY
WATER WORKS BILL
Measure Is Rejected at Afternoon ses-
sion, But House Changes

After being once defeated. the Hardy
bill to give the St. Paul water board
the right to condemn private property
for water works purposes was put
through the house last night. Gen. NJ.
d. Flower called up the bill and made a
strong plea for its passage to improve
the source of the water supply for st.
Paul. George II. Wyman of Anoka
fought the bill, but unsuccessfully, the
friends of the bill securing Ga votes for
its passage.
