Prohibits PAYING Petition Passers.

Y Si''biho v Syi't U oooS' % .
Pierre.-There is a doubt about the
final fate of the Kerr bill to prohibit
payment to persons for securing sig
natures to initiated or referended pc
titions. This measure passed the
house by a comfortable vote, but fail
ed to secure a majority in the senate,
apparently because of a number Of alb
sentees when the senate vote was
taken. The bill is held alive on a mo.
ton to reconsider, which will be taken
up as a special order in the senate
next Tuesday afternoon.
The reason assigned for holding up
action on the Kerr bill is to await the
decision of the house on the Murphy
bill, which requires individual affda-
Wits with each signature to such petit
tions. 1t is ~contended that if the Muir.
ply bill becomes a law there will be
no pressing necessity for such r~estric-
tons as are imposed in the Kerr bill.
