was his opinion that there were more
than enough amendments to the con-
stltutlon at the present time to make

locking after them. Hyland stated in
his argument that it was at the sug-
gesticn of the board of control that
the movement for the removal a
be*h started and that Devils Lake
people were not especially interested
in having the school go there.
Change in Board of Equalization.
Gardens bill making the chairman
OF the tax commission a member of
the board of equalization instead OF
the commissioner of agriculture and
labor was passed with but few dis
senting votes. There were several at
tempts to amend the bill n of them
being to put the chairman of the COM
mission on in place of the treasurer
as it was contended that the com
missioner of agriculture and labor was
in a position to be of great benefit on
the board. There was another at
tempt made so that the commissioner
could be left on and another men,
Der appointed so that there would still
he an odd number on h board but
none of the amendments were carried
and the dill was passed as it was
originally introduced.
Advertise The State.
Another senate bill that passed was
that offered by Senator Bond which
reduces the number of electors who
may petition the county commission
ers to TIke a levy for the purpose of
promoting immigration from 33 1-3
per cent of the voters in the county
to 10 per cent.
Institute for Feeble Minded.
There appeared to be a desire on
the part of some of the members to
prevent the emergency clause being
attached to the appropriation bill for
the institute of the feeble minded at
Grafton and then on motion of Sem
ator Cashel who explained that the
school was in immediate need OF
money and amendment was offered
making $4,000 available at once but
this was later cut down to $4,000 and
with the amendment the bill was
passed. q
Work on House Bills.
There were a number of house bills
