Dancing Not Prohibited.
Senator Davis bill to prohibit dane.
ing in elementary and high schools
was killed Monday afternoon on the
floor of the senate. Senator Gilbert,
who had been occupying the chair as
president pro TEN, had Senator Over.
son preside while he took the floor
against the bill. In defending his
bill Senator Davis said there were tax
payers over the state who were sup
porting the schools and that many OF
them were. opposed to dancing, and he
thought the difference OF opinion as
to dancing in schools should be dis
cussed. He was. also of the opinion
that educational affairs would be bet
ter protected if dancing was prohib-
tied in the schools. Senators Hanley,
Bronson and Gilbert talked against
the measure and when the roll was
called the bill was killed by a vote Of
"a ayes to % nays, with Senator Al
breeht passing.
State Will Pay Delegates.
There was a majority and minority
report submitted by the senate COM
mittee on elections Oh House Bill la,
which was intended to discontinue
having the state pay delegates Of diff
ferent parties to national conven-
tons 5000 each towards their eX-
penses. The majority report recon-
mended indefinite p"ostponement OF
the bill, while the minority report
favored the passage of the bill that
would require the delegates to pay
their W expenses. Senator Gibbons
moved the, adoption of the minority
report and Senator Vail quoted fig
ures to show that last campaign it
cost the state over $4,000 for these
delegates, and that by next campaign
it would probably cost twice that
amount. Senator Wartner thought
the poor man should have a chance to
take part in these conventions and
taht the state should stand this eX-
pense. Senator diversion thought If
the state continued to pay the dele
gates this item Of 5000 it would dis
pei the idea that the expense of dele
gates IA being paid by the large cor
operations. In moving the adoption Of
the majority report, Senator Garden
said that II men were sent to extreme
ends of the country to represent their
state in these conventions they should
have their expenses paid, and if this
bill passed the state might just as
well cut 5000 off the pay Of the legis-
lators. He thought it would be just
as fair.
