There was action of significance at
both ends of the capitol Monday, and
two busy and interesting sessions OF each
house held in consequence. The most
important legislation which has been at
tempted for the past ten years, and has
been necessarily demanded, was that
eliminating III the passage by the house
after a practically all day debate of two
bills, the one fixing the contract rate OF
interest on money borrowed or nego'
table paper of any class at rate not
to exceed eight per cent per annum. The
other was a bill which exempts from tax
alton all money loaned in the state,
whether by residents or non-residents at
rate of interest not exceeding per
cent per annum. As indicating the di-
vision of opinion Oil the six per cent. ex-
emDtion bill, the close vote of 40 to 43
is significant, while that on the contract
rate interest bill was nearly unanimous,
at II to IA. Both these bills are heart
lily endorsed by the Farmers Union, and
it is believed will become laws at this
session.

he was doing all he possibly could to
organize the league and would know
definitely within d day or two just
what would be done. If the forfeits are
not put up he will drop the matter, but
as soon as delegates arrive, if there
are only four towns, with their mones,
immediate action will be taken and Of
ficers elected. Until these otherttowns
have raised this forfeit money and sig
nify their good faith, the league cannot
be a sure thing.
