Hold Might Sessions.

eff the republican party wants to
make some capital for the next cam

''instead of combining its caucuses to
the control of the capitol building, it
should take up some Of the really i'm
portant measures whic hthe people of
this state think they want, and good
place to begin is in the senate. The
people Of the state are keeping tab
on legislation this session as they
never have before, and unless some Of
the popular measures are passed, some
one will be held responsible for it. -

Duluth Bills Put Thru.

Two bills Of local interest to Du-
luth were passed by the house under
suspension Of the rules. One gives
the city authority to issue $295, 900
bonds to refund bonds issued by the
city when it bought the city water and
gas plants some years ago. The new
bond issue is to be lien on the plants.
The other bill gives the city jurisdic.
tion over the slips at the Duluth docks.
The discovery had been made that the
government authority extends only to
the dock line, the city's authority to
the land line and the slips were out
side the pale Of any authority. When
wholesale companies began dumping
were not amenable to punishment. The
bill is to correct the situation.

minimum ROYALTY at SO cents ton was
accepted, and another amendment was
adopted limiting the leases to one that
a test might be made in the courts.

member sent his own bill to the grave
yard. An effort to except the bill from
the report Of the committee was de-
feated. Karl De Laitre Of Hennepin,
who led the fight against the bill, said
that the purpose was to restore the bill
to general orders for amendment,
It was proposed to increase the state
ROYALTY and to revise the entire pro-
