PUT IT OYER TO 1907
NEW SCHEME FOR DISPOSITION
OF REVISED CODE-ANDERsON
SAYS THERE IS NO GROUND FOR

The latest scheme for disposing of
the revised code is to pass it ofhand,
without laborious consideration on the
floor, to take effect Jan. 1, 1907.
This is the latest date at which the
present legislature can make any of it's
work effective. It is argued for this
scheme that it will give plenty of time
for picking out the woodchucks, and
as the 1907 legislature will assemble the
first week in January, any mistakes
found can be corrected before they
have time to do any harm.
Some Of the lawyers are in favor
of this plan, believing it the only way
to pass the code. Many members out
side the judiciary committees have de-
clared that they will not vote for the
Chairman w. B. Anderson of the
house Judiciary committee is not in
favor Of the plan. He wants to see
the code thoroly considered and passed,
so as to take immediate effect. He said
today:
"There seems to be literary bu-
reau at work arousing sentiment
against the code, from the way letters
have begun to pour in. People are
badly scared, but without good reason.
Many are opposed to the code without
knowing why. Those who present rea-
sons cite things in the code that have
been corrected. I have yet to hear of
a single valid objection to the code
that has not been remedied.'
The house committee will report the
code tomorrow, if the clerical work can
be finished in time. If not, it will
come in Thursday.
Senator Somerville, chairman of the
senate judiciary committee, says they
will have the code ready for report by
| the last Of the week; but as the senate
must pass the house bill, the code may
not be taken up on the floor Of the
senate till the house has passed it.

OPPOSE TRACK SCALES
Witnesses Stand Up for Present System
of Grain Weighing.

The special committee appointed I'M
der the Hanaford resolution to inquire
into the present. system of grain weig-
ing and inspection had an open hear
ing yesterday afternoon and examined
several witnesses. Henry Feig, super
vising inspector Of country elevators,
and G. A. Magnuson Of the Northwest
ern Elevator company, were among the
witnesses.
No evidence was presented to show
that there has been anything detri-
mental to the interests of the grain
growers in the present system. The wit
nesses declared that the hopper sys-
tenn Of weighing was most practicable,
and in no way unfair. They said that
the proposition to weigh all grain on
track scales was impracticable, as the
elevator would have to keep an en-
CINE on hand all the time to move cars.
It was often impossible to get a proper
foundation for a track scale, so they
are apt to be inaccurate.

SPORTSMEN PROTEST
Say the Game Bag Should Not Be Re-
duced-Suggest Other Rules

A. delegation Of sportsmen appeared
before the house committee on game and
fish last evening and protested against
the Wohlhuter bill, introduced at the
instance Of the game and fish commits
sion, reducing the size Of the "game
bag' to be carried by any one man
to fifty aquatic birds or twenty-five
land birds. They urged that there were
other and better ways Of putting a
check on pot hunters. They suggested
that cold storage plants be prohibited
from holding more birds than any indi-
vidual; that purchasers Of game be
made criminally liable the same as sell
ers, and that no game should be shipped
unless accompanied by the owner, the
same as the old law. Speaker Frank
Clague joined his voice to the protest
Of the delegation.
Judge w. B. Douglas, who drafted
the bill, explained its provisions, which
he said would not greatly restrict the
size Of the game bag By using the
seventyfve birds. The bill grants the
right to search hotels, restaurants and
cold-storage plants, and it also pro
hibits shipping moose out OF the state.

Lowering Passenger Tariffs.

gave a hearing yesterday afternoon on
the Ware bill to reduce passenger rates

hearing in the st. Paul Underwriters

building, selected by leading architects.
From this, risks on a building to be
insured were measured, It's exposure,
construction and fire protection were all
considered in the size Of the risk ac-
cepted by each company and the rate
