The QUESTION OF increased school fund
distribution was again up for an airing
to-day. springing up in the senate during
the consideration OF the common school
fund appropriation bill. The bill a. II
came from the COMMITTEES on appropFia-
tions carried the sum of s. SOC. 600. to
be divided during the two years. 1905
and 1909. When the bill was ealled up
by senator Sample shortly after the
opening hour. senator Adams offered an
amendment increasing the yearly amount
To 81 500. 600. instead Of 81 $50 900. and
this started the wordy warfare until the
luncheon hour. during which time the
discussion took wide range.

House.

The House session was characterized
by lively fight over a bill to provide for
an increase of remuneration for members
OF boards of supervisors IN connection
with the duties and responsibilities that
the law imposes upon them as the official
caretakers and custodians OF the public
roads.
The opposition 10 this measure was
ulainly from the rural sections. though
the bill passed eventually by vote OF
- to ~. It, further progress was frus-
trated by motion To reconsider, entered
by Mr.. NEWELL
The insurance circles were much inter
ested. apparently. as numbers OF well
known men in the profession were seen
about the corridors early in the day. The
reason of this was made manifest whs n
