It would be q dull day if the house
failed to stir UP a scrap on some
question or other, and Saturday, by
the way, was not g dull day in that
branch of the assembly. The first
bill taken into consideration Saturday
morning, after; converting and going
into the committee OF the whole, was
House Bill No. 60, introduced by
Bernt Anderson Of Ramsey: county,
and which makes null and void all
clauses in contracts on any articles OF
commerce which prevent the purchas-
er from setting up as a defense that
the article was defective in material
or. workmanship. The motion to re-
port the bill favorably was supported
by o. J. sorlie OF Trail county, who
claimed that the bill would do away
with an existing exil IN the purchase
of threshing machines, which, he
claimed, farmers purchased on 9 con-
tract, few I them being aware Of the
contents OF: the contract. The debate
was lively. continuing over an hour,
being participated in by Messrs. sor-
lie, Doyle Of Foster, Martin, Ander-
son., Frame, Traynor, Davidson,
Shells, skulason and Schulz. The bill
was finally reported to pass. ..,.ss. 81
Another bill that stirred up trouble
and which brought; forth . flow Of ora
tory from a hitherto silent member
so tar as oratory is concerned, was.
the measure providing for an appeal:
from the action Of drainage commits
,sioners and is known as House Bill
no. 81, introduced ~ Mr.. Burnett Of
Trail. I'm. 7y'. II
80. H. Frame objected to the pass
age of the measure, claiming that it
would result in long litigation and
mean the end of drainage 50 far as
the valley was concerned. In reply,
Mr.. Burnett made a strong speech In
support of his measure showing the
conditions existing in Trail county
and appealing to his fellow members
to pass the bill that these conditions
might be done away with. The vote
was almost unanimous In favor Of the
&measure. " T." =. 'i..'sl;I5t. ! -. ~:
