troduced as substitute in the senate
by Mr.. Simpson. It provided for a
gravity or chemical test at the uni
versity or agricultural college, at
least every 80 days, and while the
fight between house and senate ap-
peared to be over the fact that the
house favored fee system for the
Inspector rather than a salary Of
$4,000 per year, it was apparent dur
ing the entire day that the friends
of Standard oil were not idle, and
while the claim was made that OIL
Inspector Jackman, who was just ap-
pointed, had his friends In the house,
that this was all there was to the
fight. Conference committee after
conference committee were appointed
by each house and It was not until
nearly eight O'clock that any com.
promise was brought about. The
bill as finally passed requires chem
lcal or gravity test and leaves the
oil inspector as a fee basis until
April l., 1906, when he will be placed
on salary Of $4,000 per year. The
fight was probably the most bitter Of
any in the house this session, Repre-
sentative Ryan and McCrea favoring
the retention Of the salary clause,
claiming that as 1t was almost AZ
much as the governor and more than
other state officials received, that It
was sufficient. Stevens of Burleigh
and Phelan wanted the house 20
stand pat on their position, Ryan and
McCrea, figuring that the better test
was all that was required in order TO
give the people better OIL, and they
were willing to let the fee system re.
main in vogue. The house voted
against receding, and three confer
ence committees followed in close
succession before any agreement was
reached and the bill finally passed.
Representative Ryan took occasion
during afternoon session to extend to
speaker Piercy the thanks of mem
bers for the uniform kindness and
| fairness that he had accorded them

officials for the manner in which they
had treated him during the session,

lady clerks were especially capable.
