House Bills Passed.
The house got down to work on the
third reading OF house bills and did
a moving act that did credit to itself
as an Industrious body seeking to re-
cover lost ground. The following bills
were put on their third reading and
final passage:
80. introduced by Mr.. Pugh and pro-
viding for the revocation of the GER
tificate of any teacher by the county
superintendent for willful violation of
any teachers contract by such teach
er. The bill Is intended to prevent the
teachers from jumping their jobs.
At this time Major Buttz called up
H. B. zoe. which provides for the pay
ment of the actual travelling expenses
Of the district judges and allowance of
their hotel bills when away from home
on court matters, which had been made
special order. He asked unanimous
consent to amend the bill by changing
three dollars per day to two dollars
per day when such Judge is outside his
district on official business, and in the
amended form the bill was passed.
POI, introduced by Mr.. Stevens and
which cuts out the advertising for the
appointment of personal representa-
tive.
176. introduced by Mr.. Shirley, reg
ulating the removal of causes in dis
trict court in case Of prejudice of the

119, introduced by Mr.. Graham, re-
lating to the redemption of real estate
from tax sales.
230, introduced by Mr.. Thoreson, re-
lating to the manner of taking up es-
trays.
257 was the cause of considerable
fighting on the floor. The bill provides
that whenever the township board shall
be petitioned by a majority of the resi-
dent freeholders OF such township, such
board may proceed to purchase upon
credit or otherwise a road machine,
road grader or wheel scrapers or any
of them. This bila is In substance the
old law on the subject which was re-
pealed at the last session of the legis-
lature. Mr.. Stevens opposed the bill
and briefly stated his reasons for do
ing so. The speaker called Mr.. Ste
vens to the chair and made an address
on the subject, in which ne suggested
the possibility of fraud at least in the
repeal of the law. During the discus
sion which followed the fact came out
that the read machine men had had
an extensive lobby at work against the
repeal of the law at that time, and that
they or some one having their interest
at heart had circulated the story that
corrupt means were being used to Sc
cure the repeal of the law. Repre-
sentative Rose Of Dickie county stated
that he was member of the house at
the time the law was repealed and that
he had challenged the machine men
to produce a single particle of evidence
to support the assertions they had
made, but that they were unable to do
so, and he now challenged Mr.. Twich-
ell to produce any evidence to support
his statement made at this time on the
floor that fraud was used in securing
the repeal of the law two years ago.
Mr.. Stevens had moved to indefinitely
postpone the bill, but during the de-
bate on the matter it had been dis
covered that the bill was not on the
desk of the members and he withdrew
this motion and moved to postpone
consideration of the bill for two days.
The motion was adopted.
