was injected into an otherwise monot-
onous session of the House Friday
afternoon when the garnishee bill or
Representative Weidler was advanced
to third reading. A test vote, while
not directly on the passage OF the
measure indicated that its friends are
on the job. Representative Lyday at
tempted to lead flibuster against the
bill being ordered to engrossment but
he encountered the Iron hand" of
Speaker Cook who refused to recog-
nize him when he desired to submit
motion to recall the bill from en-
grossment.
AS it was a vote was taken on
motion to table Weidler's motion to
send it to engrossment, and it resulted
38 to table, and 4S against it. Assum
ing that all the gentlemen We're i'm
mune from confusion by the intricate
proposition devolved by the cross-fire
of motions, the garnishee bill has 48
friends and 80 enemies
Representative Lyday made a heroic
effort to sidetrack the garnishee bill
by attempting to get a vote on an
amendment to Indefinitely postpone,
but failed to get recognition.
A little salve was spread on the bill,
however, when the House adopted an
amendment offered by Representative
Crawford providing that the employer
of persons, whose wages are to be gar
nisheed, as we'll as the debtor, shall
have ten days notice. In it's present
shape, the employer is required to ap-
pear in court, and that fact is expected
to serve as a balm after the salve
rubs off.

lie sheriffs' Gin and out" fees that
were collected prior to the time that

Judiciary committee "B' of the
House submitted a divided report on
the trading stamp bill. A majority
favored passage with an amendment,
while the minority favored passage I'M
amended.
The proposed amendment would
make stamps redeemable in cash for
two-thirds of their value on amounts
of 50 or upwards.

dent in Representative Eschbach's bill
which passed the Senate Friday even
ing, and now goes to the governor for
approval. 1t is aimed to prevent trade
discrimination in the purchase and
