The senate amendment to the box
ing bill' was up to the house for
third reading and c~oncurred in. This
amendment makes the legal limit of
fights 20 rounds instead of IL as was
amended by the house. The amend
ment was turned down by a vote of
a to 80. A conference committee will
AXE the matter up at an early date.
The conference committee appointed
to meet with a like committee from
the senate on Fl. B.. 300, relating to a
direct tax for educational institutions
on real and personal property, re-
ported that amendments as corrected
were satisfactory. The amendments
We're adopted and the bin is ready for
the signature of the governor.
The first bin to be vetoed by the
governor was returned to the house
his afternoon. This was II. b. lSl,
by Blake, exempting wal veterans
and honorably discharged soldiers and
sailors from the payment of road and
poll tax. The governor sent a COM
munication along with the bill in
which he gave clearly the reasons why
he could not sign the bill. The bin
said the. communication is too broad
and the persons affected by it would
not nave to pay a property tax for
road improvement. Therefore the
bill is in violation of the constitution
of the state. The constitution does
nv dli'" ohth piiN fNS'S dS "ohlN w
conveyed by the bill. The house man
imously agreed not to pass the bill
over the veto. The governor also
gave a decision of the attorney gen
eral in explaining his veto.
Wibaux County.
Perhaps the most bitter fight of the
day was over the passage of S. b. As
creating the county of Wibaux. This
was fought for over an hour and many
!, personalities We're INDUCED in during
the fray.
A call of the house was demanded
, at the start so that no one could pos
, sibly get out of voting unless sick o.
= out of the city.
\ The surprises Of the way differen
members voted were many. The bill
was many times characterized as {
; political job and other impassioned ut
: ~terances were made. Higgins of Mis-
| soula in talking against the bill sait
! in part: THE vote on this bill is tn
real test of those who really belieV'
right. 1t will show who are the one!
concerned with the peoples rights an
those who only profess to have som
regard for the public welfare, TIL
bills for forming these new countie:
are rotten to the core. Men who a
the first Of the session We're agains
the measure are now fighting for it.
There has been more corruption il
8 connection with these new county di'
VISIONS said MIR. Higgins after th'
session, than there was at any time
two years ago over the election of {
United States SENATOR
The Higgins expressions are onl,
= examples of the many speeches tina
: We're made in regard to the county o
Wibaux. 1t has beer characterize
: many times as a debt-paying politica
scheme.
