schools of the state according to en-
rollment One member wanted to set
aside $4,000 of the amount for the
purpose of school books for destitute
children, and others wanted big lump
of the money TO go to the building oil
school houses. Discussion was post
poned Friday until the commission
that framed the blanket educatonal
bill can be heard.
The senate has passed and sent to
the house a bill which provides that
when a motor vehicle operated negli-
gently and carelessly in violation of
law, runs against and injuries horse
vehicle in the public load the owner

thS- Brice law and the Carey COthran

lshe liquor question, that settled the
matter for four years. Mr.. FultZ pro-
poses to repeal that section of the local

pensary restrictions or prohibition.
The bill which he is thinking of. would
have a great deal of machinery 50

with the constitution. The cardinal
