Senator Glenn, who argued that any
amendment that will make the bill
better should be adopted, and he be-
lieved the amendment proposed would
make the act wider in it's scope. The
bill, he said, would not prevent lobby
ing, for if any corrupt lobbyist wanted
to get in his work he could do so I'M
der the bill by registering.
| Senator Robertson-who, by the
way, had gotten his hair trimmed since
the morning session and was looking
keen for battle-declared that it was
! the opinion of lawyers in the commit
tee that the bill would not prevent
constituents from interviewing mem
bers on legislation. He was opposed
to the Price amendment.
| The vote was finally called for and
on a division it was found that the
amend ment was lost by "a to IL.
| Senator Reeds amendment to sec
ton 5 was adopted providing that any
person called upon to give information

could appear without registering as a
lobbyist.
Senator Brewster wanted to strike
out section of the bill, relating to
section he argued, would bar any
poor employe in some state institu-
ton from having representative to
urge his claim for carriages for in
juries, unless he is able to pay a fixed
fee. Big corporations can afford to
pay salaries of representatives, but
the poor man would be prohibited
from having his claims looked after
properly.
Both Senators Reed and Stannard
declared that the contingent fee"
lobbyist is the most vicious kind. They
thought the poor state employe could
be looked after properly by his sena-
tor or representative.
The senators declined to eliminate
section 4 and also voted down Senator
Quincy's motion to strike out section
8 relating to filing statement of ex-
penses by lobbyists.
The consideration completed Sena-
tor Reed moved that the bill be re-
ferred back to the senate with the
recommendation that it be passed as
amended, subject to amendment and
debate. The motion prevailed and
the committee of the whole arose.

talk and charges of irregularity in the
purchase of furniture for the house.
Senator Avery, chairman of the
committee on live stock, announced
the appointment of Miss Lucy South
wick as clerk of that committee.
Just prior to adjournment a pleas
ant little incident occurred when
senator Brady suggested that in order
to "salve" the feelings of the senators
who had been opposed to Senator
Glenn's pet reapportionment bill, the
senator from Greeley be required to
furnish the senate, for immediate con-
sumption, two barrels of APPLES. The
motion carried unanimously and SEN
