The Regular Routine Grind APP
preaching, Final Ad-
journment

Pierre. March 8.-Gov. Byrne APP
pointed George II. Hoffman, OF Selby,
as a member of the state soldiers
home board to succeed himself.
One of the beneficial results of the
investigation of the state penitentisry
at Sioux Falls. by a legislative COM
mittee Ia that the need of additional
buildings was recognized and also the
necessity OF purchasing a farm for the
institution. The house showed it's de-
sire to properly equip the institution
by passing two measures yesterday
bearing u total appropriation of SIS. 900.
OF this $50. 900 is for a new build
ing to be fitted up with a modern hos
pitsl. a we'll lighted and ventilated
dining room and chapel. The re-
mainder will be use in purchasing land
near the institution. so that a portion
of the inmates can be employed on it
during the summer months instead of
being kept at work In the factory.
Both bodies Of the ssembly are work.
ing three long sessions each day and
have established the reputation of be-
ing the hardest working set Of law
makers ever gathered at Pierre. 1t is
confidently predicted by those who
have served during other sessions that
the calendar will be pretty we'll cleaned
up before the final adjournment. is made
sometime Friday night. Committees
ire slashing bills right and left and
bills of only ordinary merit stand
hut a poor chance of getting through.
In spite of the congestion. however,
bills are still coming in through the
committees and the house by the mar
row margin of three votes last night
turned down the proposition for q sitting
committee. 1t is probable that both
houses will appoint sitting committees
tonight and that only the really i'm
portant bills will get consideration.
After u hard fight in the senate the
friends of the immigration bureau
won a hard fought victory Monday and
we're successful in keeping in the
general appropriation bill, the appro-
priation for the department.
The senate passed the general appro-
priation bill after raising several
items. A big fight was made on ap.
propriating SO. 900 for carrying out
he Richards primary law but ii final
ly passed.
The house passed the new printing
bill with fen amendments. 1t has
already passed the senate.
Both houses Passed the bill requir-
ing common carriers to present all
facts in any case before the board of
railway commissioners and making an
appeal from the board to the circuit
court on the records made before the
board.
The anti-pass bill introduced in the
senate early in the session which had
for n of its provisions allowing a
railway company to provide one attor-
ney in each county Of the state with
passes over their lines, went through
the senate with but little opposition.
but the house committee did not look
upon it with favor, and reported ad-
v~ersely which report wal adopted,
leaving the attorneys in the same class
OF others who have to dig up when
they want to ride in the yellow cars.
