Mr.. He~ndfickson objected to the

I W.T., t1CnUTlCkSOn ODJeCleu " tut
passage of the bill on the grounds
| that the election laws are being tin
| kercd with to such extent that il
takes an attorney to figure them out
and he recommended the indefinite
'postponement Of the bill. Mr.. Sorlie
expressed himself as opposed to the
p%ostponenent OF the bill until 1t had
been thoroughly considered, and Mr..
Lambert declared that there is great
need Of a law Of this character.
Mr.. Divet declared that he wouldn't
like to see a m%eritorious measure
killed, and in this case he considered
the bill a good one, in a general way,
and believed it should pass.
At this juncture Mr.. Thompson
moved that the committee arise for
the purpose of excusing the members
Of the committee on railways, and
such action was taken.
The house then recOnvened as a
committee OF the whole, and after
considerable more discussion, in
which it was considered whether or
not the clause relating to the increase
in mileage be stricken out, Mr.. Dean
moved that the bill he recommended
for passage, and it was so recon-
mended.
Others Recommended.
Other bills recommended for pas
sage were as follows:
No. 10, an appropriation to encour-
age elementary education; No. 81, re-
pealing the state law relating to guide
posts; No. IS, relating to the duties OF
states attorneys and attorney general.

lmendes for indefinite postponement.
The former fixes the time when real
estate taxes become due, and de
scribes penalty tor delinquent taxes,
and the, latter provides, for the pay
ment of taxes for road purposes and
its distribution. g
After the committee arose, how
ever, Mr.. .Hawkinson moved that the
