horse for about an hour on 8 bill re-
lating to the shooting of the festive
rabbit Speaker Ingram had called
Assem- blyman Hamper to the chair so
that he might take part in debate.
Thinking that Hamper might be made
the butt Of little gently "joshing"
the humorists and wits Of the lower
house proceeded to weave a tangled
parliamentary net. But Hamper also
has sense Of humor. Instead of try
ing to untangle the awful mix-up he
f1atted it out with his gavel. After
the assembly had played with the
bunny bill for an hour Hamper sue
ceeded in railroading it to the fish and
game committee for further considera-
ton despite the violent protests of
Chairman Bingham, who said that the
committee was tired of the bill.
changed it's mind on the Onstad bill
requiring the railroad rate commits
sion to pass upon every change in rail
road rates before it goes into effect.
The bill was killed last week, but was
brought up for reconsideration. After
being revived the bill was sent to en-
grossment by large vote. The chief
argument against the bill in commit
tee was that there would be needless
delays when railroads reduced rates
in order to meet sudden emergency
in moving any large commodity. In
order to help the advancement of this
bill Speaker Ingram took the floor
and made d long speech in which he
pointed out the duty of the members.
There was little furry when Kneen
of La Crosse charged that the speaker
had refused to speak before the trans
portation committee on the bill and
that he had preferred to go before the
assembly and make grand stand
play"

bill giving the labor commissioner the
right to inspect logging camps.

ment upon reconsideration. This bill
