For Sinking Fund Loans.
one BY Wara Stone earg Morrs anbor1
ing county commissioners to lend sink
ing fund moneys on first real estate

public funds in real estate securities.
To Raise Judicial Pay.
8: D. Peterson proposes to increase
judicial salaries as follows:
Chief justice, from SIS 500 to $4,000;
associate justices, from So, 900 to $4,000;
district judges, from $500 to $4,000.
Hits luxurious Loans.
A measure aimed at the salary loan
sharks was presented by Joseph T. Man
nix. 1t prohibits the assignment Of
future wages and makes any such agree
ment invalid. 1t is admitted that the
measure will hamper many, in borrow
Ing money when in need, but the author
believes the benefits will outweigh all
other considerations. Railroad compa-
MES and other large employers of labor
are greatly annoyed by the assignments
OF wages, as they are productive of
endless trouble. It is the wage.earn-
ers, however, who suffer most.
For Free Employment Bureaus.
Another labor measure was presented
by John F. Selb Of. st. Paul-the estab-
lishment of free public employment bu-
reaus in cities of more than 10000 in

The committee will meet early next
week, and will consider several schemes.
One IS to turn the building directly
over to the board of control. = Another
is to give the board Of control financial
management, and the selection of en-

sitlon IS to create a commission con-

NEW CODE TAKEN UP
Judiciary Committees Discuss Best
WAY to Enact Tt.

G.
Members of the house and senate
ference this afternoon with the members
Of the statute revision commission, to
discuss the procedure to be adopted in
connection with the revised code.
The probability is that the code will
be introduced as one bill, and enacted
without change IN each house. 1t will
then be taken up in detail and
amendments voted in the form Of sepa-
rate bills, after careful discussion and
special work by subcommittee OBJ
lection has been raised to this plan on
account of the constitutional require
ment that bill include but one subject,
to be expressed in its title. However,
this point has been passed on by a
committee Of the state bar association,
consisting Of IF. w. Childs and G. E.
Otis Of ST. Paul, and Rome G.. Brown of
Minneapolis. This committee has Civ
en- an opinion to the revision commits
sion, saying that the entire code could
be introduced as one bill.
the measure yesterday afternoon. There
was long debate over the method Of
procedure, and adjournment was taken
without coming to any decision.
Some of the Subdivisions Of the code
will have to be considered after public
hearings for interested parties. The
many and conflicting laws grading the
salaries Of county officers have been
condensed in such form as to change the
salaries and expense allowance in many
counties. For instance, the special law
for Stearns county gives the auditor
$4,000 salary and $4,000 for clerk hire.
The code reduces his salary to $4,000
and his clerk hire to 5000. The
special law cannot be changed, and If
repealed Stearns will have to come
under the general rule. ..
