House.

The House was i'll session a short
while today, during which one or two
rather significant matters were attended
to. One of these was the passage of the
House concurrent resolution, the pur-
pose of which is to cause to be submit
ted to the qualified electors an amend
ment abolishing the office of county
treasurer. The proposed amendment
simply r~e-enacts the present constitu-
tional provision providing for county of.
f~icers, but eliminates from the list that
of treasurer, and giving to the Legilsa-
ture the power to provide for the keep
ing and custody of the county funds.
The amendment is to be submitted to
the electors on the first Tuesday in No
vember, but if carried at the polls the
Measure would not be effective until af-
ter the present four-year term.
The ~liveliest debating took place over
the House bill introduced recently to
change the grading of salaries of teach
ers in the common schools, and in the
application of the surplus school funds,
as provided under section 1856 of the
code of 1906. The bill was voted down
1 to SO.
The committee on public buildings and
grounds, to which had been referred the
bill to provide for the maintenance and
equipment of the State capitol and car
rying on the State government, reported
the measure back favorably, hut re-
quested a reference to the committee on
appropriations.
Mr.. Burkett, from the committee on
public education, reported back the bill
to establish and maintain a white State
normal school for the training of teach
ers, with the recommendation that it do
not pass.
The same committee also reported
back the bill providing that the governor
and attorney general be added to the
State text book commission, also with
the recommendation that it do not pass.
Mr.. Yewell, from the committee on
constitution, reported back the concur
rent resolution providing for an amend
ment qualifying persons to vote after
a six months residence in an election
district, that it do not pass.
Mr.. Cavett introduced a bill to au-
thorize boards of supervisors of counties
to pension in their discretion the wives
of those dependent on any citizen of the
county who might be killed while acting
as a membe of a properly organized
posse, in the name of the law.
Mr.. Williams introduced a bill to Gre
ate the office of State bank commissions
er and a State banking board, and pre-
scribing their duties.
Mr.. Gardner introduced a resolution
to provide that the presidents of the
several State collegiate institutions be
required to furnish a complete list of
teachers and other employees, their ma
tionality and condition, whether mar
ried or single, and the compensation paid
to them.
Mr.. helms, chairman of the committee
on banks and banking, called up the bill
to require all persons in charge of banks
and branch banks to furnish balance
statements to the auditor at least four
times in each year. There was no dras.
tic change involved in the bill, ard it
passed without opposition.

TWENTY.FOURTH DAY.

Among the events of interest in legis-
lative circles today was the receipt of
the first special message from Gov. Noel,
a document that he had expected to send
in yesterday, connected with the Pinci-
pal subject matter of this message, which
was an expression of his positive views
OF State prohibition, and the import
ancc of having a strong enactment, lies
in the fact that Gov. Noel had not at
first considered it necessary to make any
special recommendation along this line,
but seeing the drift of the current to-
ward procrastination, he has thought to
best to offer a few suggestions.
The Senate, by a vote of 30 to 5, has
declared itself in favor of the State de.
pository system, in passing the Potter
bill, providing for the change from the
present fiscal system. The bill provides
for the placing of surplus funds on hand
on deposit at not less than 2 per cent.
per annum, in State or national banks
of approved standing and responsibility,
the banks to be selected with care and
judgment, though any bank may apply
for the privilege of keeping these funds.
The deposits shall be subject to pay
ment. on demand by the State auditor,
on the warrant of that official, the de-
posits and Withdrawals to be subject to
such rules as the State treasurer may
prescribe.
In the House the concurrent resolution
providing for abolishing the office OF
county treasurer passed on its second
reading by Il vote of 81 to Is, and sew
eral bills were passed upon the recon-
mendation of the appropriations com
mittee. Among these was the bill car
rying the necessary amount for the care
and custody of the State capital and the
expenses of the government.
Among the bills introduced in the
House was one the purpose of which is
to increase the pay of the secretary OF
state to $4,000 a year, and also one rails
ing the salary of the experimenting
physician at the State insane hospital to
the same figure.
