Institutions, New and Old.
When the matter Of the location OF
a new Normal school at Dickinson
came up there was a motion made by
Senator diversion that as long as the,
amendment was being considered to
the constitution, it might be we'll to
reduce the land grant for the Sol.
diers' home, as that institution was
not using all the money from the In.
come and he attempted to incorporate
that into the bill, but there was OBJ.
lection, as it was stated that it might
conflict with the constitution, and 1t
was recommended that the bill be
laid over one day, that the situation
might be looked up. Then when the
hill from the committee on state af.
fairs regarding the location Of a new
asylum for the insane was taken up
it was decided to lay that bill over
also, as there appeared to be in the
minds OF some of the members a SON
flict between the two bills as far as
the amendments We're concerned.
Later in the day, after the two bills
had been referred to the committee
on state affairs, a motion was made
that they be placed on third reading
and this was done, after minor amend.
mcnts had been made in the wording
and both bills were carried and it
locked as though the state would
have a new asylum for the insane in
the course Of time, and that there
will be a Normal school for this part
Of the state, located at Dickinson, and
both institutions r badly needed.
Moving Asylum For Blind.
The effort that has been made to
move the school for the blind from
Bathgate to some other point in the
state, preferably Devils Lake, was
killed during the afternoon, when a
bill to that effect introduced by Sena-
tor Hyland was indefinitely postpon-
ed. There was considerable argument
over the bill and a good many statis-
tics shown as to why the school should
be moved or not moved. Senator Da-
Wis thought that the bill should carry
SO that the people OF the state might
have a chance to determine whether
they wanted the school left where it
was or not. Senator Cashel thought
it would be a bad idea to start NOV
ing the institutions of the state
around and also stated that it was his
opinion that there we're more than
enough amendments to the cOnstitu-
ton at the present time to make the
people of the state %cross,eyed looking
after them . Hyland stated in his ar
gument that it "a at the suggestion
Of the board Of control that the move
ment for the removal had been start
ed and that Devils Lake people were
not especially interested i in having the
school go there.
Change in Board Of Equalization.
Gardens bill making the chairman
the board of equalization instead of
the commissioner of agriculture and
labor a passed with but few dissent
ing votes. There were several at
tenpts to amend the bill, one of them
being to put the chairman Of the COM
mission on in place Of the treasurer,
as 1t was contended that the commits
.sioner of agriculture and labor was
in a position to be of great benefit on
the board. There was another at
tempt made to amend so that the COM
missioner could be left on and IN
other member appointed SO that there
would still be an odd number on the
board, but non of the amendments
were carried, and the bill a passed
az it was originally introduced.
Advertise the State.
Another senate bill that passed was
that offered lby Senator Bond, which
reduces the number Of electors who
may petition the county commission
ers to take a levy for the purpose OF
promoting immigration from 80 1-3
per cent Of the voters in the county to

There appeared to be a desire on
the part of some of the members to

attached to the appropriation bill for
the institute for the feeble-minded at
Grafton, and then OH motion of Sen.
ator Cashel, who explained that the
school was in immediate need Of no.
ney, an amendment was offered max.
ing $40, 900 available at once, but this
was later cut down to $4,000, and with
that amendment the bill was passed.

members of tho legislature from $500
to 5000 for their term was killed ny q
