ton and he withdrew his objection,
but Senator Leutz offered an objec-
ton. In the meantime Senator Tai
colt had discovered the house had ad-
journed, and the resolution was locked
in the senate safe till next Tuesday.
More House Bills Came Over.
Included in this message were house
bills Nos. 113, 1872, IS, 81, 95, 1874, So,
1919, so, a and 80 which had passed
the lower body and came over for the
consideration of the senate.
s. B. No. S0-Which provides for
legislative measures being e~ngrossed
with a typewriter, came back to the
senate in the same package, with the
notification that it had passed the
house unchanged. Seantor Talcott
said the house should have amended
the title the same as was done with
senate bill No. 81, but as the house
had adjourned and it was too late to
have the correction made the same day
the secretary Of the senate was in
Structed not to have senate bill No, 80
enrolled till after recess.
Senate Bills Reported.
The committee on state affairs was
the only committee that reported any
action on senate bills. Senate bill No. 1926
was reported for indefinite postpone
ment, while senate bills Nos. 100 and Is,
after being amended somewhat, were
recommended for passage.
Senate bills Nos. 23, 25, 26 and 9S
came from the committee as having
been correctly enrolled and were plac-
ed on the calendar.
Eager to Adjourn.
Before taking up the third reading
of senate. bills the president pro tenn
attempted to ascertain the pleasure of
the senate before that order of bust
ness was taken up, Senator Steel saw
the opening and with all sedateness,
removed his glasses, and calmly NOV
ed that the senate adjourn.
Senator Hanley spoiled the plan by
asking delay long enough to submit
a committee report on senate biiP
been changed by a special commit
tee amending after the words "a
hill" While Mr.. Hanley was making
out his report Mr.. Davis, the deter
mined little senator from Sheridan
county rose and addressed the presi-
dent pro TEN in a stern voice saying
that If any Of the senator's were alb
sent 1T was their own fault, and that
it was an injustice to those who were
present to finish out the days work
to force an early adjournment upon
them. He said when the resolution
creating this recess was adopted il
was not contemplated that business
should be dispensed with today. With
that Senator Davis himself, left the
chamber though he did return fnl
time to arrange to have senate bill
No. IA, relating to the gopher bounty
put over till after recess anil to
answer roll call on the passage of SEN
ate bill No. 23. During all this time
Senator Hanley was still working out
that report for senate bill No. 1S, and
as Senator Steels motion to adjourn
had not received a second there seem
ed nothing else for the handful Of
senators present to do, but to pro-
coed.
The Fate of Senate Bill No. %.
S. B. No. 23-Talcott, relating to
property exempt from taxation was
then put IN it's third reading. Sena-
tor Talcott, it's parent, rose and called
attention to the fact that section 5
in this bill was about the only change
there was from the old law, This
bill exempts from taxation all prop
erty assessed at a value Of less than
800, and would cut off the 'whack-
up" county t~reasurers and sheriffs
have heretofore entered into, in col
lecting delinquent taxes on property
assessed in those small amounts.
