THE LEGISLATURE
Closing Hours of the Session
Bank Guaranty Law
Killed

Pierre, March S~.--Although the ses
sion officially closes at noon, March z,
the clock was stepped before that hour
was reached until some uncertain hour
to clean up the business that must
be tranacted.
The new saloon restric ion bill rs
finally completed in the Legislature al
lows one saloon for each 600 inhabi
tants or major fraction; allows one
saloon in any town. and fixes the
maximum city license at 81, 100.
Something of a deadlock resulted on
the appropriation for improvement of
the capitol grounds. The senate made
An allowance of $40. 900 for the bien-
NAL period, which was cut down in
the house to So, 600. Three conference
committees thus far appointed have
failed to establish a satisfactory com
promise.
The Curtis publicity pamphlet,
which was the cause of so much con
tention in the last legislative session
and all through the campaign of last
summer and fall. is no longer a part
of the law of this state, having been
repealed when the house adopted the
senate bill requiring publication of
amendments and referred laws through
the newspapers of the state instead of
the pamphlet publicity. The fight was
a warm one by the minority, which vas
opposing. but the bill went through
with an easy majority when the vote
was secured.
Although the sentiment In the SEN
ate apparently was against bank
guarantee legislation anyway, the
banking committee took no chances
and slipped over a trick on the Nor
gan bill, which had passed the house
and which was the only measure that
stood any show of being enacted iuto
law at this session.
The committee had three bills in it's
hands and a report was demanded by
the senate. At the session Wednesday
evening, Senator Whitlock, chairman
of the banking committee, reported
three measures without recommenda-
tion," one of these being the Morgan
bill. which had passed the house
house bill 214.
Rising to his feet in a casual and
disinterested way. the chairman said:
II move the indefinite ~postponement of
house bill No. 214.' The motion was
carried by viva voce vote without a
very general understanding as to what
vas being proposed.
This was only an incident of the
situation. however, as an effort then
made to raise the bill was lost ON
roll call, as the sentiment in the sen
ate has consistently shown against bank
guarantee legislation. There are 10
men in that body either actively con
cerned in the management of banks OF
as director.

CONGRESS SAID TO
FAVOR SUFFRAGE
May Adopt Amendment to the
Constitution.

Washington, March S.-That the
new senate as well as the new house
contains enough members favorable
to woman suffrage to make possible
the passage at the first regular ses-
sion of an equal suffrage amendment
to the federal constitution was the
belief expressed by Senator Poindex-
ter of Washington.
II do not say that the amendment
will pass, but there is a chance for
IT," he said. THE recent widespread
change of public sentiment from a
hostile to a favorable attitude and
the conversion of individual members
of both houses of congress to the
equal suffrage position makes it alto
gether possible that the new commit
tee on this question will report favor
ably.
Some of the old members OF the
committee on woman suffrage may be
found ready to vote in the afirma.
tive"
