A conversation overheard in the SEN
ate chamber yesterday between a couple
of members brought out a new idea in
the wrangle over a supply Of postage
stamps, and that was that all the mem
bers who voted against the resolution
might furnish their own stamps if they
really objected to the resolution for prin-
ciplc's sake. The expected fight in the
senate brought out a good gallery. When
the message was received in the house
asking that the amended resolution he
returned to them the house was immedi-
ately emptied of visitors and a good
man members Of the lower branch
strolled over to hear what was doing.
The bill offered in the senate yester-
day by Senator Talcott Of Cass will
make quite a change in the method of
conducting the business of the state if
it finally becomes a law. At the pres
ent time there are a number of depart
ments where fees are received for ser
vices performed and this fund is kept
for a time wherever chosen by the Of
ficer in charge of the department., but If
senate Bill No. "a becomes a law all
checks, drafts or other evidences of Day
ment must be made payable to the state
treasurer and deposited with him as soon
as received. The emergency clause is
attached to the bill.
Senator Wesley Mcdowell, the demo-
cratic member from LaMoure county,
did not answer when his nanA was call
ed at roll call yesterday nor will he be
present today. The" senator is one of the
most enthusiastic better-farming men
there is in the state, and he is at Far
go attending the. grain growers conven-
ton, and is scheduled to make a couple
Of addresses while he is there. The
senator is always listened to with atten-
ton n is fast becoming one of the best
known men in the state.
