Minnesota, said there was no ton peY
mile rule in effect in Iowa
I think this is one OF the cutest
moves to kill = bill that has been
tried this session. was the unvar-
!. n1shed statement of Senator Ole e.
Sageng of Otter Tail. The bill was
then amended to permit of such .
committee to investigate the distance
tariff feature in Iowa of the eastman

reconsided, and the resolution will be
again brought up next Monday after

An important measure introduced
in the senate today, was one by J. F.
Calhoun which repeats the laws call
ing for annual reports of railroad
companies to the railroad and ware
house commission. A number of road
and bridge appropriation bills made
an appearance. "A large number of
measures we're advanced from general
orders to the calendar, but no bills
on the calendar we're passed because
of very light attendance of senators.
The per cent railroad gross earn
ings bill came up for an attack today
in the house. DR.. J. II. Dorsey asked
that it be brought back from the cal
endar to general orders. C.B. Miller,
it's author, objected. He presented
letter from the attorney general in
which that official gave it his opinion
the bill was inlegal and constitutional
form. DR.. Dorsey then withdrew all
objection.
Fred B. Phillips of White Bear made
objection to the pending bill to regu-
late dentistry. He claimed the bill
would create "the biggest little trust"
In the state; that it would only permit
those who are members of the State
Dental association to practice, and
that other legitimate dentists who do
not charge so much for work, would
be forced to quit. J. D. O'Brien of
St. Paul and J. D. Murphy supported
the bill. One Of the clerks suddenly
discovered the bill had no enacting
clause. The bill was passed over for
the day, as it could not be amended
in it's position on the calendar with
out unanimous consent.
The house adjourned at noon till
Monday at p m, leaving $50 bills on
general orders for the day, untouched.
St. Paul, March 25-The trust
Irvine bill was passed by the senate
today. The bill, H. F. $50, permits
the state board of control to sell pri-
son Irvine outside the state at it's dis
erection, in retaliation when so de-
sired, for encroachments by the Irvine
trust. The bill also allows dealers to
sell Irvine made by convicts at pro-,
fit of 1 cent a pound on cash sales,
and ~ cents on credit sales, a half.

present law. The bill passed by a,
vote of AZ to 5. !:
The S. D. Works inheritance tax
bill went down and out today in the
senate. This is the bill which pro-
vides that half of the Inheritance
taxes collected shall go to the coun-
ties wherein the deceased lived and
the other half to the state. Under
the present law, it all goes to the
state. The bill was attacked by Sen
ators O. G.. Dale of Madison, F. H.
Peterson of Moorhead, and Frank
Clague of Lamberton. They asserted
that the Weather counties are now
avoiding much taxation by the hiding
of personal property, and that to di-
vert half of the inheritance taxes to
the respective counties would cause
heavier state taxation to be paid by
the less wealthy counties. The bill
was indefinitely postponed.
Trusts received a severe grilling in
the senate in considering the E. H.
Garfield bill making contracts en-
tered into with trusts null and void.
Senator George P. Wilson was op-
posed to the bill. He said that under
this bill man might buy lumber,
build house, and then make the
provisions of the bill an excuse for
not paying for it. Ray G. Farring-
ton, G. J. Gunderson, and @. A.
Johnson all spoke in favor of the bill.
Trusts, the lumber and building ma
terial combine, especially, were given
warm roasts by these gentlemen, and
the senate committee of the whole
voted the bill for passage.

Representative Spooner, the author of
the bill for such an institution in
some county where a state institution
is not already located.
G.. W. Rodepberg of St. Paul intro
