senate Dill NC. II was then put on its
tnlrd reading and it passed without a
dissenting vote.
But when senate bill No. As which
provides for the pure food commits
sioners inspecting cold storage plants
was read the third time Senator
Bronson asked to be informed as to
what became of the fees collected by
the food commissioners. The bill had
been introduced by Senator Porter
field, and Senator Davis attempted to
come to his rescue by explaining that
the fees went into the pure food depart
ment at the agricultural college, but
that didn't satisfy Bronson. and he
wanted the bill to go over for a day.
This was objected to by Senator
Porterfield but when he saw it was
going to be put to a vote he with
drew his motion and the bill went
over to Wednesday.
When senate bill No. 40 was put on
it's third reading Senator Davis said
that since the committee on state af-
fairs had reported the bill some; new
features had arisen, and as his COM
m1ttee was having a legal opinion
pertaining to the measure prepared he
wanted the bill delayed of passage
that the committee might further
investigate, and there being no OBJ
lection that bill also went over to
Wednesday. N. =
S. B, No. SO, providing a wolf
bounty was then put on it's third
reading, and Senator Hoverson want
ed it amended by changing the word
shall to may" SO that it would only
be discretionary with county commits
sioners instead of it being mandatory
to pay a bounty. He didn't think it
fair to compel counties that had no
wolves to pay q part Of this bountyy
Davis thought If such a provision was
made 1t would have a tendency to
drive the wolves from one county to
another. Senator Hanley then threw
some light on the subject bv read
ing a communication from a resident
of Mandan who wanted a gopher
bounty In place Of the wolf bounty.
Senator Davis rose again and said
ne had just received word that the
supreme court had held that the word
may" was equivalent to the word
shall" Secretary Austin said it was
q fact that the supreme court had so
Tuled, n there being no further OBJ
jections the amendment of Mr.. Hover
son carried and the bill Il passed ais
amended by a vote Of 43 ayes. S NAYS.
