motion to refer the resolutions to the
appropriation commission, substituted
a few minutes later by motion to re-
fer to the judiciary committee brought
forth from several other members
their expressions on the subject in
hand, the vote, however, was for the
adoption of the resolution as adopted
by the house, thus making it effective
at once.
Thursday being the day of adjourn
ment, the house finished up its bust:
ness early, and had it not been for
that fact it is possible that the senate
would have made some changes in the
resolutions. The resolution as passed
provides for an appropriation, unlim-
tied, to be used by the committee for
attorneys fees. etc.
The investigation will not be COM
menced till after the recess is over
and the legislators return to their
work here. This will give them thirty
days in which to conclude the exam
ination, unless the legislature grants
additional time and provides that the
report be made to certain state Off
cials instead of the legislature, as is
now provided.
Institution Appropriation Bills.
During the recess the various state
institutions, penal, charitable and ed
ucational, will undergo close scrutiny
at the hands of joint committees Of
the assembly. these committees being
named Thursday under the provisions
of concurrent resolution introduced
by Representative Hanley of Morton
after the vote on a resolution passed
in the house several days ago provid-
ing for house committees to this work
had been reconsidered and the reso-
luton killed.
The purpose of these inspections is
to determine, if possible, the needs of
the different institutions for the COM
ing two years with view to securing
the best results in the making of ap-
preparations. Up to the present time
the various institutions of the state
have asked for appropriations totaling
81 1,65S,000, while the total amount
available will be in the neighborhood
of $1,400,000. 1t is believed that a
number OF the items included on the
various appropriations bills can be
eliminated without injuring the
schools affected, and it is for the pur-
pose of determining just what bills
can be cut in this manner that the
committees will make their inspec-
tions and reports. which are to be sub
mitted Immediately upon the recon-
vening of the assembly.
The committees, on which there are
three house members and two senate
members, are as follows:

ling OF grain at the terminal eleva-
tors in Minneapolis and to confer with

sofa legislative assembly for the pur-
pose of determining. If possible, what
action can be taken by the assembly
to remedy the conditions complained
Of. This committee has selected ]. W.
