Pierre, s. d., Feb. Friendly COM
ment and u~nfriendly ridicule failed to
beat down the Qualifications OF the
bunny hug bill. and the measure
passed the house Wednesday after
noon by a vote OF 70 to 30 Several
amendments were presented and de-
all members voted both ways. Some
of the offerings got so raw In nature
that the period OF recreation was
brought to halt On q motion for the
previous question. ...
The bill mentions several OF the pop
ular numbers which are under the a
In some cities, and extends h provi-
sion to a prohibition against all sug-
Gestive and immoral dances. The gem
eral belief is that the measure will pass
the senate without much opposition.

The first Legislative enactment to
acquire the dignity Of a completed law
| aside from the woman suffrage resolu-
ton is senate bill number 81 introduced
by Amsden. This measure Is an i'm

subjects tina had beef used as a cam
paign 'fbugaboo" last fall AT the con-
clusion of the discussion many mem
bers had learned that h state Is not
paying out vast sums Of money Tor
bee inspection, but that this is only a
small special fund created by an as
Bessment OF 10 cents a hive against the

several OF the members had their
ears strained and when a bill came up
to pay the bee inspector about SO for
work performed, the fireworks started.
At least a dozen .orations were pre-
scented on the subject, pro and con,
when someone discovered that many
members were laboring under a mis-
apprehension. Detailed explanation
followed and the payment allowed.
1t developed through the explanation
that no money can be expended for
this inspection service above hat is
created in fees n that the special
fund still holds an unexpended q
ance. The same condition exists in
many other departments which are
maintained from fees received.
In the course Of the discussion the
point was brought out that. lots of I'M
munition had been misdirected during
the recent campaigns on the question
of special bureaus. The platform Ell
forts were mostly directed In trying to
AK the responsibility on the state adj
ministration, when all OF these special
bureaus were actually created by leg

q bill which has been presented by
Senator Smith. His measure Is IN

from operating automobiles. Any po-
lice or peace officer Is obligated to ar
| rest any intoxicated person attempting
to operate such a vehicle. # -
Many or the Expressed
themselves in hearty sympathy with
the spirit of the bill, but the possibility
was suggested of complications n or
differences OF opinion as to when a
| man would be classed in such a condl-
| ton as to make him subject to the re-
strictions. The a was sent to
the Judiciary committee for an effort at
legal adjustment. '-. u .E.
