The appropriations committee Of
the house, and finance committee of
the senate, are now meeting every
afternoon and evening arranging

1T Paul, April 1s-The senate today
passed the anti-pass bill bearing the
house number, but all the provisions
OF the senate bill. When the bill was
called up, Senator F: II. Peterson of
Moorhead offered all amendments, to
strike out all of the house bill after the
enacting clause, and insert the senate
measure. This was adopted. Widows
OF employees were then added to the
exemption list, and the bill passed in
TINS form, several other amendments
being voted down. The exemption
list OF the bill as passed by the senate,
include the following: attorneys, sur
geons, and employees of railroads and
Immediate families; widows and
dependent children of employees killed
in service of the company, represent
tatlves of railroad labor organizations,
bona hide representatives of religious,
and charitable organizations, and
helpless persons in charge of such
organizations, caretakers of live
stock, vegetables, and fruits, while
travelling with such shipments and
returning home; victims of wrecks or
general calan1ities, persons engaged
IN relief of wrecks or calamities,
civil War veterans, employees of
sleeping, express, and mail cars, mail
agents and newsboys. This seems
like long list, but is not to be COM
pared with the exemption list in the
house bill. The next step will be
appointment of conference commit
tees between the house and senate to
once more redraft the anti-pass propo-
sitlon in a form wherein both houses
of the legislature will agree to it and
| again pass it.
The house today spent some time
considering the bills for extension of
the primary system to state officers,
finally killed the two measures which

w. Dunn. The Saugstad bill first
went to vote, and down and out by a
vote of 40 for it, and A against it.
Sixty are needed for passage. Many
members "ducked" the vote. The
Dunn bill then got its dose, in it's
favor, rs opposed.
