Counsel Bill in Great Finish.
There was a great finish on the COM
merce counsel bill. 1t was rushed thru
and closed up late yester-
day, then hastened to the governor
with a view to having the bill printed
this morning and then the railroad
to send the name of the
lawyer to the senate for confirmation.
At the last moment the senate receded
from It's position. Quick work was
done to get the bill enrolled and signed
yesterday.
The Clarkson mine bill was complet-
ed last night when the house gave in
to the senate in the matter OF the
length of term Of the mine inspectors.
It was a great personal victory for
Senator Clarkson who had handled the
bill from the first.
A sharp debate on the appropriation
bill for the state colleges grew out Of
the item for the agricultural extension
work. This was finally fixed by the
house at $65. 900 against the protests Of
some Of the leaders who insisted that
the sum was larger than could be uses
to good advantage In this department.
Factionism Breaks Out.
The fight over the proposed raise in
the salary Of the governor, treasurer.
secretary and auditor. appeared to take
on q little Of factional color at the end.
The house had passed the bill also one
for raising the pay Of the men in the
office Of the attorney general The
senate sitting committee suppressed
the latter and brought out the former.
Senator Van Law tried to have includ-
ed in the list OF increases that OF the
clerk of the supreme court and 1t was
voted down. Then Senator Francis
tried to tack on the provision for in
crease in the Office Of attorney general
and that was lost. The fact that the
two offices Disseminated against are
held by progressives aroused some
feeling. Then the whole business was
laid on the table In disgust.
