Long Eight over Separation Of .Educa
ticnal Institutions from Board Of
Control Is Ended. ~gF

This legislature put an end to the
yexatious struggle of the state univer-
sity and, normal schools to be released
from the financial supervision of the
board of control. The senate defeated
such measures at the last session, and
took the same stand at first last winter,
dashing the hopes Of the university con-
tingent almost to- the ground. How
ever, when. the house passed the bill
and the pressure was renewed, the sen
ate surrendered that is just the word
for it. '..
The Bills were introduced early in
the session by. Senator Peterson and
Representative .Perley, both Of Moor
head. In their original form they made
an absolute severance between the
board and the institutions. The Perley

The same old combination was at once
formed between those opposed to the
bill and the friends Of the institutions

REVISED STATUTES OF 1905
Work Of Revision Commission Is Re-
! va1uped and Then Adopted as Law.

The white elephant Of the session was
the revised code, or more strictly
speaking, the revised statutes. The
final adoption Of the revision on April
culmination Of work initiated by the
legislature of 1901. At that session a |
commission Of three was created to Gre
wise, codify and annotate' the laws OF
the state, and an appropriation Of
$4,000 was made. The supreme court
was authorized to select the commission,
T. J. Knox of jackson, and Daniel Fish
Of Minneapolis. Mr.. Stevens died
while the work was in progress, and
NJ. r. Tyler, who had been secretary to
the commission, was named in his place.
The commission was instructed to pre-
sent it's report to the 1908 legislature,
and at that session the time was ex,
tended and the appropriation increased
to $85,0O0. The commission was to re,
mort by Dec. l, 1904, so it's work could
be printed and placed in the hands OF
the members-elect before the session
opened, d. @f%.-
The commission failed to do this, and
the printed work was not placed in the
hands Of the members till Jan. 49,
Meanwhile, everything. waited for the
code, on account Of the idea that the
code could be passed off hand and the
Remaining legislation of the session be
made amendatory of the code. 1T was
soon evident that the revision could
not be handled in any such of hand
way. Lawyers who examined it found
that in hundreds of places the existing
law had been entirely changed. The
commission indicated great many OF
2 the sections to be new matter, and many
changes were found that had not been
so indicated. The general opinion was
that the commission had overstepped It's
authority, and that it should have en-
deavored only to restate to existing
u laws in compact form.
All the attorneys in both houses were
given places on the judiciary commit
4 tees, which began work on the code. Il
was introduced as II. F. 43 and s. q
Al, but it was the house bill that finally
passed. Under the constitution the bill
had to originate in the. lower branch, a.
it contained laws relating to raisin.

whole matter be put over to an extra

carefully gone over to insure against
