Private Secretary Puzzled
The private secretary to the COVER
nor, after ascertaining that the bill
had been killed by the senate and had
slipped past with the approval Of the
governor to the secretary Of states
Office for placing on the statute was
wrought up as to how he could secure
the bill from the secretary of state, he
evidently supposing that if possession
of the bill could be obtained it could
be held up in the governors Office and
attention called to the fact that the
bill had been killed in the upper house.
Finding that the bill was beyond re-
call the secretary allowed the bill to
take its course with regularly enacted
measures.
Test Validity in Courts
Attorney General McDougall was
seen with reference to the bill, he
stating that he had heard of the in
cident and explaining that it would
have to go on the statute books the
same as the other legislative enact
ments that have been approved by
Governor Brady and the passage of
the act by the Legislature tested in
court, where the regularity Of the
measure would be determined.
! With respect to the other house bill,
No. 1913, granting relief to the Great
Western Mineral & Mining company
the attorney general stated that the
bill was not regularly passed and ap
proved and therefore the amount Of
the observation-disclosures not
be paid by the state treasurer as pro
vided by the bill. The measure will
probably be held over and presented
at the next session of the legislature.
Lost in Transit
BY the records of the house will
respect to the bill, which appropriate
$13O to the Great Western Minera
Il Mining company to refund incorpor
alton fees paid by the company to thu
state treasurer, the measure was pass
ed by the lower body February /!
and transmitted to the senate.
The record of the bill in the senat,
shows that it was passed February p
and returned to the house, but refer
ence to the house record does not SHOW
its receipt there, the last record being
of the transmittal to the senate. TIL

houses is on its way to the lowe
house, and either was lost in transi
or has taken the long way around il
returning to the body in which it orig
: mated.
