BOISE, Feb. 24.-For the first time
in the history of the senate a commit
tee was complimented on the floor o,
that body this morning because of the
work accomplished by the finance
committee composed of Senators Kicks
Steele, Grant, Macbeth, and Day il
handling House bill SO, the education
al budget. Senator Hart voicing those
sentiments
The recommends dations made by the
committee cutting more than $171,O0(
from the measure, came up in com
mittee of the whole on special order
this morning for the adoption of the
amendments. The entire morning was
occupied in handling the bill, and
when the committee arose, the senate
adopted the committee report that the
House bill SO pass as amended by the
finance committee.
Not a single change was made from
the Recommendations made by the
committee
Senator Day acted as spokesman
for the committee and handled the sub
iect ia am admirable manner, his
statements being accepted with pro-
found respect. He cleared away every
obstacle advanced and convinced the
senate of the sincerity of the commit
tee in an endeavor to make cuts that
would not impair the efficiency of any
of the institutions. At the close of
his discussion of all the points under
consideration, Senator Day compli-
mented the state board for the assist
ance given and paid high tribute to
the honesty of the board members in
their desire to advance the efficiency
of all institutions.
On his OWN behalf Senator Day de-
clared that in the past he had been
accused of coming to the senate with
the purpose of running his hand into
the brag bag for the benefit of the
university but since he had advo-
Gated curtailing appropriations for
that institution that seemed proper to
him to cnrtail, he hoped any such in
ference would be wiped out.
All of the amendments went to the
printing committee and will come UP
for consideration of the senate the
last of this week.
H. B. No. SO by Committee on Edu-
cation-Fixing the appropriations for
the state educational institutions.

to revive the full crew bill in the SEN
ate, which was indefinitely postponed
yesterday. He failed, however, to do

Taylor Ruling Reversed
Although the senate passed the state
wide prohibition bill yesterday after
noon under suspension of rules, a
question arose as to the ruling of theI
Lieutenant Governor Taylor on the
vote to suspend the rules, and this
morning he was given unanimous con-
sent to change the ruling.
This action puts the bills back to
second reading. If it takes it's regular
course It will not come up for final
massage until tomorrow, but it is un-
derstood that an attempt will be made

rules this afternoon When the SEN
