VOTES AGAINST BILL 70 PAY,

MONEY. 6s
WAS AGAINST LEGALIZING HOLIDAY
ALSO VOTES WITH GANG TO RE-
TAIN NlNETY-DAY DIVORCE
LAW.

Hanna's actions shed light on the
degree of his fitness for public office
Immediately upon his beginning his
first term in the legislature. The very
first piece of legislation to come before
the lower house in the session of 1895,
known as House Bill No. 1, was a bill
providing for state repositories and
to regulate deposit of public moneys
and interest thereon asf.5S af.@
It created board of deposits to
consist of the governor, secretary of
state and attorney general to select
banks in which to deposit state funds.
It provided for bonds to protect the
state and for advertisement for bids so
that deposits could be awarded to the
banks that offered the highest interest,
combined with the greatest security.
1t was a reform measure that would
do away with the old easy-going meth
cd of using the state banking business
as political patronage and would pre-
vent banks owned or controlled by pol
iticians from securing deposits Of pub
lie funds without paying interest or
paying insufficient interest. &
Not even the other gangsters in the,
house voted against it, but Hanna, the
banker, could not appreciate that Of
ficially he was Hanna, the elected en-
ploye Of the people, and he voted
against the bill on it's final passage,
only three others voting may with
him. a. u z. 81. 81 q
The complaisance with which. Han;
ma officially viewed the divorce evil
throughout his legislative record, be
came apparent early in the same, his
first session. House Bill No. 10 was
for an act amending the divorce law
SO that an applicant for divorce would
have to live in the state for one year
before he would be entitled to de
cree instead of ninety days as the law
then provided. ,E# n ssss,ss.
& It was the period when the divorce
colonies in the state were in 4 full
flower and the most fourishing one Of
them was at Fargo, in Hanna's coun-
ty. The introduction, of the bill vas
the signal for a concerted attack on.

Eparently did notswant to see anything
happen that would injure the traffcs

When it was introduced and re-

was referred to the judiciary commits

The Philadelphia Company's new
strike. No. 9. on the Lucas Bros.
tract. located north OF Shinnston. is
the latest gusher to arrive in the
Little Mountain state. The first
twenty-four hours after it was drilled

Of the first days production amounts
to $2,340. At that rate it VIII take
but few days to pay back the money

company's test drilling to the north
