laws, in which free range west OF
the Missouri is made a thing OF
the past, went through the house
sailing Thursday. 1t had previous
ly passed the senate. The emer.
gency clause was taken off.
Experiment stations were estab-
lished at Vivian, Lyman county,
and in Fall River county. Addi-
tional appropriations were made
for the experiment stations at
Cottonwood and Eureka. With
the Kerr bill, which designates all
county poor farms as experiment
stations and which has passed both
houses, we will soon have an abun-
dance Of such stations within the
state.
The county seat primary bill
becomes law on being signed by
the governor. The measure pro-
vides that any town securing a ten
per cent petition of all the votes
cast at the last election may become
a candidate in the primaries, to be
held at the special election. The
town receiving the highest vote is
to become temporary seat. At the
following general election the two
towns receiving the highest number
of votes in the primaries are alone
qualified candidates, and the major
ity candidate in that election be-
comes the permanent seat. The
bill was called out because of con-
ditions in Tripp county.
A bill repeating the anti-treat
law, which has been one of the in
operative statutes supposedly in
force, drafted and passed by the 'O9
legislature, has passed the senate.
The Richards primary, which
has been nightmare to the men,
bers of the legislature, was passed
through the house with the initia-
tive clause 80 to 1OO-.and failed of
passage in the original form 25 to
70.
Norbeck's bill for q primary
election for United States senator's,
modelled after the North Dakota
statute, passed the senate.
The senate killed the new game
code providing for state wardens
instead of county wardens, and
passed the house emergency bill
providing for a board of control of
three for the soldiers home, none
of whom need be old soldiers. IL
also passed the house congressional
bill with three districts on the
same lines as the railway commits
sioner districts.
March third lasted until Satur-
day noon for legislative members,
our solons having deadlocked over
certain items in the general appro-
priation bill. Governor Vessey
was asked to help in breaking the
deadlock, but declined to do SO
unless both houses should agree in
advance to accept the decision OF
an arbitration board. The princi-
pal fight was on the appropriation
for the new immigration bureau.
The house concluded that $4,000
would be sufficient for the next
two years. The senate raised the
amount to $4,000, and changed
some one or two other items in
the general bill. The house re-
fused to accept the amendments
and no compromise was reached
nntil the seventh conference CON-
mittee completed it's labors Sstur-
day afternoon. The immigration
bureau got $17,5OO.
The Bartine freight rate bill was
killed in the house just before the
clock stopped,
The session passed into history
at about one o'clock Saturday.
A summary of the work of the
legislature will be found on an.
other page.
Senator Lorimer, the dispatches
