Senate.
The senate started in on it's first day
Friday for introducing of bills, to
peat the house record of the first day
and doubled it. Among the principal
bills which appeared in the house, was
to insure bank deposits and several
railroad and insurance bills. The first
verbal play of the senate for the SeS-
81 / came up when AmSden presented
his resolution that no special appro-
priations should be considered until af-
ter the general appropriation bill had
been disposed of. Under suspension,
the resolution came up for discussion,
and was supported by Amsden. Byrne
thought the motive was good, but one
which would delay work, as it was i'm
possible to get the general bill ready
until late in the session, and the spec
ials would have to suffer, but that all
the special appropriations must be
scrutinized. On motion the resolution
went to sleep in the rules committee.
House..
House bill one was by Hale, and
provided for state repositories. Other
bills introduced were by Sasse, a pure
drug bill; SEQ Of M~innehaha. provid-
ing for election of county commission
ers by districts; Morris, increasing the
number of supreme court judges to
five; Ranum, bills ito provide for a
state depository, requiring election Of
ficials to make abstracts of votes to
county auditor, and a two-cent rate
bill, by Issenhuth, requiring the teach
ing of vocal music in public and nor
NAL schools. and a good roads bill;
by Morris, providing for unofficial cleo
ton officials and county auditors; by
Mcdonnell, a railroad rate bill; by
Wooley, the establishment Of a state
inebriate asylum at Highmore, the
same to be supported out of saloon lie
enses. "
On account of a number of the
members having gone home for Sun
day. both houses held a short session
Monday, about the only business being
transacted being new bills.
The main senate action was the in
PRODUCTION of a general negotiable in
strument bill, fixing generally the
forms for business transactions.
The house members took several
shots at the liquor interest by bills
prohibiting public treating and pro-
hibiting brewers or distillers from
owning or operating saloons within the
state. =
The hunters will be interested in a
bill which shortens the hunting sea-
son by making the opening September
Is and requires each hunter to Sc
cure a license.
The Morris bill providing for five
supreme court judges will not meet
with enthusiastic support from the
